Hey everyone.

I am still alive and everything like that. Figured I'd give you an update into my life I am not active on here anymore

1. I went thru a major change. I went from finance to supply chain in the business world.
2. I became a founding father of a fraternity (happened last year but still)
3. I am doing an internship in the summer

Overall just usual stuff that has kept me busy

Greetings DebateArt.com

Effective immediately, Oromagi will replace myself as the new Deputy Moderator of DebateArt.com. The mod team and I agreed upon Oromagi and oromagi has accepted the offer that I extended. I thank him for accepting the offer and I certainly know that they will do a great job in the position entrusted into.

The websites about us will be updated once we get in touch with Mike to change everything and give Oromagi the permission necessary to execute his position. 

Everything that was stated about my departure is listed in here: 

A final thank you to everyone who made my 5 years at DebateArt.com the most memorable that I ever known. I hope everyone achieves happiness and their prosperity. 

Farewell,
Vader AKA Supa

Greetings DebateArt.

Over the past 5 years, DebateArt.com has been something I have enjoyed being a part of a great community of debaters and personalities over my time as a moderator and debater. The countless memories and friends I have made are irreplaceable and the time I spent here was well spent.

However, it is blatantly known that I am not active as a deputy moderator, and my activity level has stagnated over the past year. This is mostly due to my busy schedule with school and other extracurriculars. A good amount of that also concerns my lack of desire to debate.

I simply find no pleasure in getting into debates and other joys I had when I first joined the site. This has caused a drastic downfall in my activity because I just see nothing and feel nothing positive about debating people. When I do not feel passionate about something, I lose interest until I abandon it completely, which is what happened as time went on.

My time is also a big issue as well. I have taken over 18+ credit hours worth of classes + being in an executive position in my fraternity + being on the marketing team of an upstart company. This has consumed my time, and not to mention, the lack of passion I have for debating makes me put this website in the very depths of my mind.

So what is next? After 5 years on this site, it is time to retire and quit. I will be stepping down from my position as deputy moderator and leaving the site. My final act as moderator will be appointing the newest deputy mod that will replace me. This will be announced in the coming days. From there, I will no longer be an acting mod on the website.

Thank you to my fellow mods, whiteflame and Ragnar, who I got to mod with and I appreciate the service they have brung over the past 2 years. There are a bunch of other people I can thank as well, but I do not want to drag on this post. I also will not fully vacate the site either, so if you ever need an extra for Mafia, just shoot me a DM.

I have no doubt that this site will achieve great success without my presence. I got to know so many well-rounded people that have helped this site so many ways that I have no problem hanging up the moderator cleats and letting the sun set on my time at DebateArt.com.

Best of luck to everyone,
Vader AKA SupaDudz

Town Win

SirAnon: Kamina from Gurren Laggan. Creative and curious to discover the world around you, you force Simon into digging to the surface. You then meet the group of rebels that are trying to fight off the enemy force. Your endless motivation and enthusiasm lifts the team spirit as everyone cheers for you and your success. However, in the big battle, you sadly die a tragic death by sacrificing yourself to defeat the enemy. While you might be dead, you are revealed to watch the team in spirit during the final climax of the series through their spirit. Because you were watching Team Dai Gurren the whole time, you are the Watcher. Each night you may choose one person to watch. You will see who visited that person. Win with the town. 

Earth: Lelouch Vi Britannia from Code Geass. After being gifted the ability of Geass, which allows you to manipulate other people, you have a goal to change the world and overthrow the Holy Britannian Empire in Japan by leading a legion of rebels under the alias of Zero, where you use Geass and your extreme intelligence to defeat the Holy Britannian empire. Because of your Geass abilities, you are the Redirector (1x person). Each night you may choose two people, one person who acts and one is being acted upon. That person's action will be directed onto them. Win with the town.

Best.Korea: Sabo from One Piece. One of the brothers of Luffy, you are the second in command behind Monkey D. Dragon. You inherited the Mera Mera no Mi after the death of the original user that used it and became an unstoppable force against the marines.

Because of your ability to motivate Luffy when he was going through a tough phase, you are the 1x Motivator. One night you may target someone. That person will have an extra ability in the same night phase. Win with the town.

Crystalynx: Musashi Miyamoto from Vagabond. A young hot headed kid at first, you strive to become immortal from the heavens. Driven by this bond because of a tough childhood, when you realize that the title of being immortal is silly and a facade, you decide to give up on that dream and decide only to kill when there is a time and a place. Because of this passive nature you strive to have, you are Vanilla. Win with the town.

That2: Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail. One of the S tier wizards in the Fairy Tail Guild, you are a strong wizard that uses her armor to give yourself competitive advantages. Despite her strong and cold demeanor, you show a soft side to your character by some of your sweet and innocent moments while also showing your caring traits as well. Because of your different armors that are used for different scenarios, you are the JOAT. Each night you select one armor,

Clear Heart
Heaven's Wheel
Atarxia

These 3 armors correspond to 3 different roles. Each night you may select one of the roles to use. If you use that role, you CAN use it again. Win with the town.

Whiteflame: Rintaro Okabe from Steins;Gate. You are a mad scientist that looks to build a time machine. You end up being successful in creating a product but when you misuse the time machine for silly reasonings, it all ends up going wrong when Mayuri is killed in front of your eyes due to your actions and when it is inevitable that she will die in this timeline, your goal is to alter enough events on the timeline to create a new time path to save Mayuri. Because of your ability to change time to try and save Mayuri, you are the Doctor. Each night you may save one person. That person is immune to all lethal NP actions done against them. Win with the town.

SirLancelot (Barney): Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. You are a state alchemist in the Empire that is a cocky bastard. However, after the death of your colleague, you search far and wide to try and solve the mystery of their death. However, when you discover the truth behind the Empire, you decide to team with Edward and Alphonse to discover the truth and take the throne. Because of your successful investigation, you are the Cop. Each night you may choose 1 person to investigate. They may either come up as guilty or innocent. Win with the town.

Pie: Koro-sensei from Assassination Classroom. You are a green yellow blob that teaches students. You proclaim to your students that you are going to destroy the world and the students need to kill him in order to save the world. However, you turn out to be a great teacher that teaches valuable life lessons and it turns out that the current form you are in was because of an experiment gone wrong and now you have to die according to the government, where your last wish was to teach students. Because of your shift in original perception, you are the Miller. You appear guilty on all cop reports. Win with the town.

Badger: Nagi Seishiro from Blue Lock. You are a very unmotivated soccer player with tremendous talent but never wanted to use it if it weren’t for your friend. You were so lazy that you didn’t even want to walk. However, after playing against Isagi during the first stage, you become extremely passionate about the game of soccer and want to become better than Isagi. Because of your original lazy and unmotivated behavior, you are a Vanilla. Win with the town.

======================

PREZ-HILTON: Sosuke Aizen from Bleach. After being an ally to Gotei 13, you end up betraying them to achieve your vision, manipulating everyone in one of the most shocking twists in anime history by faking your own death. You combine master intelligence with your insane abilities. Because of your manipulation and shock among the others with your abilities, you are the Godfather JOAT. You have the following abilities along with coming up innocent on reports.

Ninja (you will not be seen on tracker reports)
Roleblocker (prevent someone’s action from being performed
Janitor (kill info won’t be reveal)
Strongman (kill anyone no matter healed/blocked)

You can use these abilities 1x in the NP. Win with the mafia.


Austin: Johan Liebert from Monster. You do not have any real specific powers in your series, but you are a true evil person in your acts where you manipulate and control people to your desire where you do not kill them right away, but make them emotionally suffer in the worse ways possible in different schemes. Because of your master manipulation in many ways, you are the JOAT. You have the following abilities

Vote Thief (one person does not have a vote)
Framer (innocent copped guilty)
Lawyer (guilty copped innocent)
Silencer (a person can’t post in the DP)

You can use these abilities 1x in the NP. Win with the mafia.
===================
Endgame Comments: Wow. This game was like flipping a coin heads or tails for what side would make the wrong move first. Mafia got some bailouts, like the redirect on Pie, but that also means that the night kill would have had to be on Pie too as well. C'mon guys it’s not hard damn it. 

First, Best.Korea had a 1x Motivator. Why would he decide to use that Motivator on NP1? Not the best target???

Austin needs to seriously work on his mafia and deception skills. Deflecting off of town, lacking compliance, and even thinking of claims. Austin reeked of scum all game through his somewhat aggressiveness the entire time and at the end the last ditch appeal by saying my explanations sucked. We can lie but if you're gonna lie at least say, a silencer for the whole game is so OP! Not when someone (whiteflame) knows the anime says some of the justifications are good and make sense.

Wylted…you need to figure out how to fake a claim. The one thing that could have EASILY proven your point. I have never seen “Key Team Epic”. Tbh, I’m surprised whiteflame did not catch on to that, but regardless, I left so many options out there, Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, and even Naruto! A lot of mainstream anime I didn’t choose were out there and just were not capitalized on. Mafia dug themselves into a whole

Town did a pretty good job hunting scum, but it became very obvious who scum were by the end. I’d say mvp was whiteflame. He was on with his reads and helped town decipher role→justifications. I’d try maybe interacting less with scum reads, as remember, you are trying to convince town that they are scum, not argue with the scum. Inactivity sucked, and crystalynx, I’m sure you are a pleasant person, but please do not sign up for my games unless you intend to be more active than just 2 posts per DP. You seem nice and a joy, but it is relatively frustrating when town can get nothing done because of you.

On balance, I made this game a bit swingy but I think it worked out in favor. For one, one side had manipulation roles and one had essentially skill roles. Which means if scum lost one they’d lose that whole part. Also, That2 could use any ability they wanted once they found out what it was. Cop and lawyer 1x, tracker and ninja 1x, doc and strongman. 1x Motivator and roleblocker. Miller as a SoP, and the redirect for 1x person. 2 vanillas as well. All the town roles were only counterable if the mafia chose to use them on the right day and on the right person. I think game was balance for the most part

The theme was antagonist vs protagonist. Simple. Mafia was not given any fake claims, role, or what the theme was. Kamina was always watching over Simon despite his death in the series. And Roy Mustang was a high authoritarian figure in the empire who wanted to find the truth over his friend’s death, thus he would be a cop as a cop reveals a persons affiliation, and Roy Mustang wanted to find out the affiliation the killer of his friend had. 

Thanks for playing!

Vader's Rule and Regulations
  • No editing or deleting posts of any kind
  • No outside communication of mafia game (private PMs, other forum chats, other members) unless designated to do so
  • There will 72hr day phases and, 24hr night phases unless there is activity level that below 75-125 posts within this time frame. From there, 24hrs extensions will be given ONCE and ONCE only for the DP. 
  • To contact SupaDudz about anything, private message me or ping me in game (if you wanna make my life easier ping me when you vote)
  • If I mess up a vote count, please let me know asap so I can correct it. If I mess up anything within the game, please let me know. Humans are not perfect
  • Follow the basic CoC rules (no doxxing, attempt to doxx, etc.)
  • Do not copy and paste PM.
Failing to do any of these things will result in a warn or modkill under my discretion

Clarifications

I have no rules when it comes to calling people using foul language. I believe freedom of speech is important to moderating a game, especially when emotions get high. If someone is making attacks on you, they are just ruining their own character. However, very rarely will I intervene and will only intervene when the feud and obscenities become so excessive that it derails a game. You will not be modkilled for this, but a hard warning will be in place. I have a high tolerance for those feuds and have no problems with them, but don't be so excessive to the point of ruining the game.

Greetings DART! Welcome to the voting stage of the Hall of Fame. 

The nominees with the most votes in the nomination stage will proceed to advance to the voting stage, in which we will narrow down the finalist of each category to three. The process works the same as the nominations category, expect you MUST choose the nominees listed. The same rules apply with voting as well in regards to mass campaigning and mass voting PMs. No correlation of any sorts and the same punishment occurs here as well with nullification of votes

Below are the option you can choose to vote into the Hall of Fame, you have until October 27th, 5:30PM CST to vote

Greetings DebateArt!

Today is the first stage of the Hall of Fame process. This stage will last from now until October 22nd, at 12:30 CST. A few reminders about the Hall of Fame.

  • Mass PM threads, campaigning, and coordinating votes is prohibited. If any votes are found to be correlated, the votes will be nullified
  • You can vote for anyone you would like (as long as isn't an excessively bad choice (someone permabanned)), but do note that moderation has the right to nullify any thread, user, or debate if believed to be working in coordination with people to obtain votes
  • Self voting is allowed, though it gives you a bad look as it goes against the integrity of the Hall of Fame
For the nomination stage, you can nominate 3 users, 3 threads, and 3 debates to be nominated and put into the Hall of Fame! If the votes are relatively close, we will choose 4-6 nominees per category and proceed to the voting stage.

In addition, you may select miscellaneous things as well (things that don't fit either category)

Good luck,
SupaDudz

Greetings DebateArt

The moderation team and I understand that president Airmax has not properly fulfilled his duty as president of DebateArt.com. This comes after months of constant messaging and PM’ing to try to get his attention, but to no avail. Airmax has gone months with no reply or contribution of any sorts to the site. Therefore, after a vote between advisors and mods alike, as of October 12th, 2022, Airmax is no longer the president of DebateArt.com and the presidency is currently vacant. Airmax is barred from running for election again in the future. In the meantime, the presidency will remain vacant from 10/12/22 until the next presidential election. We hope this decision can be understood, and we hope for the best when it comes to the next presidency

Finally, we as a moderation team did not prepare an impeachment plan as we did not anticipate it to happen. This is a lack of foresight on our part and we will soon work on an impeachment plan in the near future... For now, the decision was made based on a moderation vote and was based on an agreed upon plan by the moderation team.

Regards,
Supa & The moderation team

Greetings from the Moderation Team!

On October 19th, the Moderation team will be commencing the fourth annual DART Hall of Fame. The DART Hall of Fame is a process in which we honor users, forums, and debates that have made an impact on the community as a whole. This tradition was carried over from Debate.org, and we have continued it from there to here. Below will explain the process of the Hall of Fame...

October 19th through October 22nd - Users can nominate three of the following from each selected category (users, debates, and forums). The nominees with the most nominations will enter the final voting stage

October 23rd through October 26th - Users will select three nominees from each category that they believe deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. The nominees with the most votes will be selected for the Hall of Fame

In addition to the main categories, there is also a miscellaneous category for which you can nominate funny moments, a certain post, or anything that doesn’t fit the requirements of the main categories.

There are no prerequisites or eligibility requirements for users to participate in the Hall of Fame nominating or voting processes, except that they have an account on DART and are not voting/nominating from more than one account. Importantly, coordinating votes or severe spamming of votes is prohibited. This will result in all votes that were deemed as spam nullified. You may argue with people on their choice if warranted, but mass campaigning is prohibited. Private PM's with groupchats is prohibited. This process is about awarding those with merit or importance, and not about awarding those who can cajole the most voters. Also, more exact start and end times will be made clear in the threads in question, to ensure there is no ambiguity as to when the processes begin and conclude. Please be sure to check these times 

I am posting this update now to (a) brief you on the process, (b) give notice about the restrictions placed on campaigning and vote coordinating/rigging, and (c) give you time to consider who/what you would like to nominate, come October 19th! 

Finally, I understand that this is a bit later than usual and I apologize for this, but hopefully we can have an active engagement in honoring those who have benefited the site

Sincerely,
SupaDudz and the rest of the Moderation Team

This is a question that I would love to discuss more about because I have seen keen observation with regards to how COVID has effected the COVID teens, teens which grew up in the COVID era where isolation ran ramped.

This year was the first year that schools fully reopened to the public. And as a result, we tend to see negative behavior. Personally, I saw from my senior friends that people were getting into fights everyday, people were doing lines of crack in the bathroom, and other things that I would NEVER see in my school before COVID hit. At first, I thought it was because of other controversies going on within the school, but as I talked to more people, the more I noticed a frequent pattern

First off, my aunts work for the CPS and have been exposed to the madness that is that union, and they have never seen such behaviors such as this. From an active shooter on campus, multiple classroom disruptions, and a snarky and rude attitude. This is a repeating pattern when I talk to teachers who teach these grades.

Finally, the saddest of all, is the school shooting threats. There have been massive school shooting threats around the country like we've never seen. My old high school had 4 in a week, something unheard of. 

With isolation and lockdown, you are bound to get in arguments with the people you live with. You will disagree with them, you agree with them, and the constant yelling occurs to the point of divorce. As a child, when you hear that, you want to drown it all away and take your anger out on something. The examples above are a prime way of how to destress, but another way is sadly...Alcohol

I'm not gonna sit here and lie, I started drinking during COVID too. I watched the TV shows I watched, tried to make as much conversations as I could, what else could I possibly do? When your parents argue and you run out of ideas, the idea of alcohol consumption is not as bad as once made it out to be. Now many people drink alcohol at parties, even Freshman, something I never in my wildest dreams would have thought to happen. People get bored, they try to new things, they like the things, and they continue

What does this long rant mean? Nothing. It's just an observation

Greetings DebateArt.

The sites first ever election is officially underway. Congratulations to the candidates who have made it here so far. Before we get started, here are a few quick rules before you vote


  • You may only have 1 vote per person. This means that if you are voting under 2 accounts and are caught doing so, only 1 of the votes you cast will count
  • Please state who you are voting for by bolding who your vote is for, especially if you plan to write out your reasoning as to why you are voting said user
  • Election tampering (which is defined as recruiting people outside the site to vote for a certain candidate) is illegal and WILL result in the votes used by manipulation to be disqualified 
  • Please try to maintain civility in this thread. This is the voting stage, not the argumentative/campaigning stage. While I understand people have strong thoughts about the candidates, people would much rather look at people's reasons for voting a candidate than someone whining for 2 pages
  • YOU CAN NOT CHANGE YOUR VOTE ONCE YOU PLACE IT!!!!! Like in a real election, you can not take back your vote that you already submitted
==============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================

Below are the following people that you are able to vote for in the election

The voting phase will last for January 17th, 12PM EST to January 19th, 12PM EST. All votes after that time DO NOT count!

As stated before, this election will be a majority vote due to the lack of candidates.
If there is a tie for the winner, the top candidates will go into a 24 hour run off period, where another majority vote will be held with the two candidates

Finally, I want to say the best of luck to both candidates. You both are exemplary people overall and both are deserving to be president, and even if I, or others do not vote you, just note that you still are very important to the site and many people would love for you to stay and continue being active on site

Welcome. Today I interviewed the second candidate, 3RU7AL.

3RU7AL said this about promoting the site and getting it active...
"https://bbs.market/ZLOGIC/posts - - it's easy to reach tons of people here
I also have 35+ members on my discord channel and even more in my contacts list who would be good initiates for DebateArt.com
and 422 followers here - https://hive.blog/@logiczombie
I recently exposed some fundamental errors in the HIVE system and my notoriety has skyrocketed there."

3RU7AL has a way to cooperate with the moderators...
"I will ask the moderators to think about their fundamental goals and principles on which each decision is based. Moderation is, by definition, a normative process and as long as the moderator action is coherent with the stated goal of that specific action, it is justified. I'd love to dissect some specific examples if you have any you'd like me to demonstrate on."

3Ru7AL was asked why he wanted to be president, he stated.
"I was asked if I'd be willing to fulfil the role as defined, and I accepted the nomination."

There you go, the presidential nominee 3ru7al. Go and vote for the presidency tmrw

Yesterday, I was able to speak with Airmax about his plans for the presidency and what his goals are

Airmax's main focus for this election was advertising. He wanted to make an effective ad campaign for DART to function on.

"I believe DART needs to an activity boost to the highest degree. For a site with excellent functionality, there is no reason why we should have only 20 unique members posting in 24hours. While activity is needed, our ad campaign needs to be gradual. A mass spike in users would hurt the site due to people logging in and then leaving. In order to maintain a stable level of activity, we must slowly boost the activity and advertise enough to gradually make this site boom."

In regards to moderation, Airmax stated...

"I believe the moderators are capable of handling their jobs well. I should only have a small input in the say of moderation. I am a person who believes in lassiez fair and current moderation hold my beliefs true."

Airmax stated as to why he is running for president.

"I had a strong urge to come back to the site when asked. I was advising with one of my friends and she actually encouraged me to do this. Focusing on a hobby that I enjoy doing is something that will benefit my mental health overall and gives me something to be passionate about and invest my time into."

There you have it. My interview with Airmax. There will hopefully be an interview with 3RU7AL coming soon!

First off, I am not the type of person to reflect on the past, but to learn from the past and apply it to the future. If I’m ever feeling sad and just down, I brush it off in a day and go about my merry way. 2021 challenged this notion a lot.

For one, my life drastically changed when I got to university. I had to hit restart on a life I built and recreate it in a new environment. It was certainly challenging, but challenged completed. I had my off days and such, but I was to push through them

I think the moment in 2021 that really made me push back on the world and reflect was the loss of a friend due to suicide nearly a year ago today. I don’t think I’ve ever been as lost or as damaged as I was in that time. I took life slower, reflecting on my life and reflecting on the world around me. When this same scenario happened with a different friend who luckily failed at doing such. It really made me look to the world and ask questions about the way we think, the way we live, and the value of life. The world went from a blur to a tint. I saw things differently and experienced different emotions and such.

This year brought me success as well. Getting into my top university, getting a girlfriend, graduating, forming a close bond with friends, I feel I accomplished a lot that led me to happiness. Not to mention I was also promoted to a deputy mod of this site after 3 years of using the site.

2021 was a year that made me reflect on life and switch up the pace of the world. 2021 was one of the most impactful years of my life to date with happy moments and sad moments.

So cheers to 2022 and a toast to 2021, the most important year of my life

"The government can't force me to take a vaccine! Freedom of my body"

Also Conservatives...

"Roe v Wade should be overturned! Free the children."

Still is my biggest problem with the Conservative party. Fight so hard for lower government restrictions yet fight to overturn Roe v Wade. Especially with the vaccine stuff they preached, hypocrisy.

I'm SupaDudz, the current deputy moderator of DebateArt as of the date of this post. 

I am hosting an AMA for some people who are not familiar with who I am to come and ask me questions about anything you would like to know. My beliefs, thoughts on anime, or anything you'd like to know. I'm just doing this to get in base with not only newer users to the site, but older users who may have came from other platform who are not as familiar as I am. 

Feel free to ask me anything

Fairy Tail is not even close to being my favorite animes. It has constant repetition, lack of character development, and overall bland arcs for the most part. Yet you'd think it would rank lower than lots of my shows. But why does it stand at a 6/10? The answer. It's bad enough to where it's good

The characters are likeable, the interactions with every character is likeable. There is a sense of family when you are watching Fairy Tail that makes you so intrigued to watch. You aren't watching the complex and well written characters fight, you are watching some fun actions thats turn off the brain fun, not some amazing thriller which requires tons of knowledge.

Yes, Fairy Tail is not great. But it does a good job of being bad

DONDA is the newest track from prominent Chicago artist Kanye West. 

Kanye West debuts a massive 27 track album with various hidden messages and such throughout the track, his first major product since The Life of Pablo in 2016. DONDA is an unique experience that feels like a mess that has direct meaning. 

The features on this album are great on this album. From Fivio's drill bars to Don Toliver's harmonic and levitating voice on Moon, the features on this track are strong and help this track. Kanye himself sounds raw and emotion and while having some corny bars, Kanye also has some of the best reflections and themes on this album that I have seen Kanye do in a while. 

Kanye does some deep reflections on Jesus Lord, the first time we see Kanye truly explore his mothers passing in a deep and emotion way with harmonic and beautiful pianos

The first half of the leg consists of Kanye being trapped, with the beats symbolizing darkness, with Jail, the lead tracks, dark guitars and chanting by Kanye. Kanye feels trapped in the current world he is in, with great symbolisms and such. The peaks of Donda are some of the best music Kanye has put out in years now. And then the back half feels more open, free, and is more beautiful, symbolizing Kanye becoming more religious and in touch with his life with some great piano and synth keys

While this project has it's ultimate highs, it also has a lot of inconsistencies and problems that come with 27 song project. The part 2's don't do much for the entire album and just feel redundant and unneeded, with the features as well being less quality. There are also times where the intros and conclusions drag on longer than needed and some songs just feel boring and time fillers. At times, the track can feel like a cluttered mess versus a cluttered painting, which can be off putting

Despite these flaws, this one of Kanye's best albums he has put out in the Kim Kardashian era. With a general focus that feels like a continuous painting, beautiful vocals, some of the most intimate Kanye moments, this album is a sign of hope for Kanye that Kanye can resume to the ways of making amazing music

This is a new list copied by Bullish that contains mafia roles that can be used for balance, fake claims, and various other things. This was originally created by drafterman, but his version sadly got taken down or removed. However, courtesy of Bullish, we have a copied and pasted list. More roles could be added as time comes, but for now, here is the main list

Town wins.
Mafia conceded.

MisterChris: You are McDonalds. One of the founders for fast food in America, you revolutionized the entire industry of fast foods and pioneered the market, becoming the biggest fast food chain in the world, one burger at a time and causing America to be the obese mess it is. You specialize in burgers, chicken nuggets, and breakfast sandwiches. You are the Dreaming God. Each night you may select one food item on the menu

Big Mac
Chicken Nuggets
McFlurry
Sausage Egg McMuffin

Each one of these menu items corresponds to a certain role. You may select a menu item and use it on someone. You win with town.

Earth: You are Taco Bell. A mexican chain that sells tacos that make you shit bricks, these tacos are relatively cheap and are one of the biggest mexican fast food chains in America. You specialize in burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and baja blasts. You are Bulletproof. You can not be targeted by any lethal night actions. You win with town. 

Wylted: You are In n Out. A local fast food chain located in California and some of Arizona, you are a burger chain that sells only burgers and burgers only along with shakes. Despite the lack of variety, your burger is widely praised as being great by various celebrities. You specialize in burgers and shakes. You are the Cop. Each night you may choose to investigate one person. They will either appear innocent or guilty depending on their affiliation. You win with town.

Speedrace: You are Raising Canes. A chicken fast food place that took an unique spin on the chicken idea, using chicken finger baskets and combos. The chicken is OK there, but the sauce and the texas toast is to die for, and their special lemonade. You specialize in chicken tenders, canes sauce, and lemonades. You are a Doctor. Each night you may choose someone to heal and they will be revived. You win with town.

Disc: You are Culvers. A midwest fast food chain, you are a higher quality version of McDonalds with more variety and better quality. Personally I love Culvers and always love getting their food there, especially cheese curds. You specialize in burgers, chicken tenders, cheese curds, and concrete mixers. You are an Enabler. You must stay alive in order for the doctor to use their role. You win with town.

Oromagi: You are Wendys. A fast food chain that is criminally underrated, you serve some of the most quality food I’ve tasted for a reasonable price as well, and the breakfast meal they have is to die for. You specialize in chicken sandwiches, burgers, chicken nuggets, and frosty’s. You are the Tracker. Each night you may select one person to track. You will receive a report of who they visited. You win with town.

iLikePie5: You are Dunkin Donuts. A fast food chain that mainly specializes in breakfast and coffee, the price you get for the quality is well worth it at Dunkin with great sandwiches and overall great coffee, far superior to Starbucks. You specialize in donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee. You are a Restless Spirit. After you die, you may vote in the day phase twice and do not have the ability to talk at all. You win with town

Whiteflame: You are Panda Express. A chinese based fast food chain, you get some low quality chow mein that tastes great for a decent price. Plus the serving sizes for the drinks are insane. You specialize in orange chicken, chow mein, and beef. You are a Vanilla. You with with town.

-----------

Polyglot: You are Dominos. A pizza fast food place that delivers and pick up the pizza there is one of my favorites for fast food with it’s variety of other options as well to choose from in regards to pizza. And there dessert options are amazing. You specialize in pizza, garlic bread, and brownies. You are the Godfather. You appear innocent on all reports. You win with mafia.

Lunatic: You are Jimmy Johns. A sandwich shop that makes freaky fast deliveries, your sandwiches are somewhat expensive for a sandwich that ½ the time is all bread. I still go there over Subway though. You specialize in subs and chips. You are a JOAT (Ninja, Rolecop, Framer, Roleblock). Each night you may choose 1 of these abilities to act upon someone. You can use these abilities multiple times and they never run out. You win with town.

There is no theme split so don’t worry about the characters.
You are not given any fake role claims

---------------
McFlurry (1x Detective)
Big Mac (1x Bodyguard)
Chicken Nuggets (1x Doctor)
Sausage Egg McMuffin (1x Tracker)
==================

I think town played pretty well in this game overall. Was shocked that the lynched turned to Disc in DP3 and almost thought Poly would be lynched (which would be a few times). I think killing Speed wasn't the best move as he was effectively useless with his role, and killing Wylted would give town a huge disadvantage. Overall a fun game

Greetings DebateArt!

Today is the first stage of the Hall of Fame process. This stage will last from now until August 8th, at 10:30PM CST. A few reminders about the Hall of Fame.

  • Mass PM threads, campaigning, and coordinating votes is prohibited. If any votes are found to be correlated, the votes will be nullified
  • You can vote for anyone you would like (as long as isn't an excessively bad choice (someone permabanned)), but do note that moderation has the right to nullify any thread, user, or debate if believed to be working in coordination with people to obtain votes
  • Self voting is allowed, though it gives you a bad look as it goes against the integrity of the Hall of Fame
For the nomination stage, you can nominate 3 users, 3 threads, and 3 debates to be nominated and put into the Hall of Fame! If the votes are relatively close, we will choose 4-6 nominees per category and proceed to the voting stage.

In addition, you may select miscellaneous things as well (things that don't fit either category)

Good luck,
SupaDudz

Bears:
Drafted Justin Fields. Surrounded themselves with a young core. Still a great team that drafted amazingly this year offensively. Amazing defensively. Potential division champions if Fields pans out

Bulls:
New management. Acquired Lonzo Ball, Demar DeRozan, and other assests. New starting 5...

Lonzo Ball
Demar Derozan
Demar Rozan
Patrick Williams
Nikola Vucevic

Also Caruso and Coby White are on the bench.

Blackhawks:
Just acquired Venzina winning goalie Marc Andre Fleury from the Golden Knights. Also acquired Seth Jones from the Blue Jackets (though he was overpayed). They could make a playoff pus this year with some of the key core still in tact

White Sox:
One of the best teams in baseball right now with a 62-44 record. There roster includes

C. Yasmani Grandal
1B. Jose Abreu
2B. Cesar Hernandez
SS. Tim Anderson
3B. Yoan Moncada
LF. Eloy Jimenez
CF. Luis Robert (when healthy)/Brian Goodwin
RF. Adam Engel
DH. Gavin Sheets

Their pitching is looking insane as well
Lance Lynn
Carlos Rodon
Lucas Giolito
Dallas Keuchel
Dyan Cease

Oh and their bullpen is arguable the best in the MLB
Liam Hendriks
Craig Kimbrel
Garrett Crochet
Aaron Bummer
Ryan Tepera
Michael Kopech

The only team that is in rebuild mode is the Cubs and they got a good return for their plays for the most part

Chicago might be a big sports city in 2020's

Hello everyone. It's SupaDudz, the really cool mafia player. I have a mafia setup that can work with 10 people but accommodates for 11 or even 12.

You can choose between two option, a game with no theme split or a game with a theme split. These are two completely different themes

No Theme Split - Fast Food
Theme Split - Best Animes

Supa's Rule and Regulations
  • No editing or deleting posts of any kind
  • No outside communication of mafia game (private PMs, other forum chats, other members) unless designated to do so
  • There will 72hr day phases and, 24hr night phases unless there is activity level that below 75-125 posts within this time frame. From there, 24hrs extensions will be given ONCE and ONCE only for the DP. 
  • To contact SupaDudz about anything, private message me or ping me in game
  • If I mess up a vote count, please let me know asap so I can correct it. If I mess up anything within the game, please let me know. Humans are not perfect
  • Follow the basic CoC rules (no doxxing, attempt to doxx, etc.)
Failing to do any of these things will result in a warn or modkill

Clarifications

I have no rules when it comes to calling people using foul language. I believe the freedom of speech is important to moderating a game. If someone is making attacks on you, they are just ruining their character. However, very rarely will I intervene. I will only intervene where the feud and obscenities becomes so excessive that is derails a game. You will not be modkilled for this, but a hard warn will be in place. I have a high tolerance for those feuds and have no problems with them, but don't make excessive to the point of ruining the game.

Greetings from the Moderation Team!

On August 5th, the Moderation team will be commencing the third annual DART Hall of Fame. The DART Hall of Fame is a process in which we honor users, forums, and debates that have made an impact on the community as a whole. This tradition was carried over from Debate.org, and we have continued it from there to here. Below will explain the process of the Hall of Fame...

August 5th through August 8th - Users can nominate three of the following from each selected category (users, debates, and forums). The nominees with the most nominations will enter the final voting stage

August 9th - August 12th - Users will select three nominees from each category that they believe deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. The nominees with the most votes will be selected for the Hall of Fame

In addition to the main categories, there is also a miscellaneous category for which you can nominate funny moments, a certain post, or anything that doesn’t fit the requirements of the main categories.

There are no prerequisites or eligibility requirements for users to participate in the Hall of Fame nominating or voting processes, except that they have an account on DART and are not voting/nominating from more than one account. Importantly, coordinating votes or severe spamming of votes is prohibited. This will result in all votes that were deemed as spam nullified. You may argue with people on their choice if warranted, but mass campaigning is prohibited. Private PM's with groupchats is prohibited. This process is about awarding those with merit or importance, and not about awarding those who can cajole the most voters. Also, more exact start and end times will be made clear in the threads in question, to ensure there is no ambiguity as to when the processes begin and conclude. Please be sure to check these times 

I am posting this update now to (a) brief you on the process, (b) give notice about the restrictions placed on campaigning and vote coordinating/rigging, and (c) give you time to consider who/what you would like to nominate, come August 5th!

Gracias,
SupaDudz and the rest of the Moderation Team

Simon Biles is amazing at gymnastics, let's get this straight. She didn't need to prove anything to anyone. I also do think it was best for her to step down

Regarding performance, mentality is key, especially in solo sports where the light is all on you. When I did shot put, if I put negative ideas and such into my head, it would ultimately lead to poorer results in my throws as such. Being in a proper mental state is essential into scoring well and if that is truly the reason she withdrawed, there is no issue. Mentality is key to the Olympic games and if Simon had consistently negative thoughts and was fighting demons that led to her performing at less than she should, she should resign and allow others to continue. I also could tell the sharp difference between her 2020 performance and 2016. It shows her deterioration (granted her deterioration is still the best in the world), if it impacts US performance, she should resign.

This will not be the end of Simon Biles. For god sake she is insane and so good that a move was named after heard, but other analysis like Charlie Kirk should really be quiet on the matter, especially with little sports knowledge or experience
