The dp should be over. This is taking forever. Just want to survive long enough to choose the right target tonight and avoid an unnecessary mislynch.

These scenarios that involve logic like "if A is innocent than B and C are guilty" and "If a is guilty B is innocent" types of reads are dumb.

I don't think you guessed wrong.  You were very successful and calculated to meet your ends.  While I know there is a real possibility that you will be essentially punished for trying to carry the game due to lack of engagement, fmpov you are my best odds.
I understand your reasoning now

@TheDredPriateRoberts
since there is really limited information, you tried hard to get me to vote last lynch, though I didn't change my vote, so far it seems I've been correct, there are no guarantees, it's a best guess.
We should secure a lynch every DP, if I am working to secure the wrong one, than you should work to secure the correct one, not just passively vote.

If you're correct that it is just a best guess, than why does it make me scummy to guess wrong? I once again think budda is scum. He seemed to have too much insight on why vaarka was the scum target. He showed why an experienced scum team would make the decision to kill vaarka. So his insight is good because either him or tuf are scum. The only people experienced enough to think vaarka was a good NK target are him and tuf/lunatic

ou've rallied others to lynch 2 innocents and I think attempted a 3rd, though unsuccessful.  Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
So are you saying I shouldn't be allowed to make mistakes? Why didn't you rally successful lynches? Is this a case of nobody wants to lead, so when somebody does lead, if they fuck up they get the blame? And since when does being wrong make somebody scum? What if I am innocent, does that make budda scum, he is just as responsible for leading the dp1 lynch as me, if not more so, and he is certainly going to be the one driving this lynch if it happens. So if I flip innocent, will you lynvh budda, based on the same logic?

Having Good Conversations "Flowing"
Though friending people with influence in those groups is a good ideal, enough friends in competing entrenched groups, help you form a sort of illuminati presence.

I may have picked up the skill from being in situations where I might be dead if I couldn't build a strong group to surround myself with, such as growing up in a predominantly black neighborhood and school or entering into group homes with rough kids. I'm not sure most people would be willing to experience those things to gain the same skills. Same technique everywhere, look for the oddballs who don't belong and recruit them all to be your loyal henchmen. avoid joining groups who have been entrenched too long, you don't want to be the bottom man even in that totem pole.

@Mopac
I have not always been very sociable. Putting myself in positions where people would naturally come to interact with me is how I developed in that regard. Before that, I pretty much just sat in bushes while thumbing through prayer beads or something. I was pretty content to be alone. I had to make a conscious effort to even care enouhh to interact with people. I pushed myself to do that because I realized it was the right thing to do.
Nothing wrong with that. I prefer to be alone. I don't know that communicating with others is the "right thing to do", I just know that it benefits me to be a social butterfly at times. I'm really good at social dynamics for whatever reasons, which is why no matter where I go I tend to build a loyal following or group that I can use. I wish the world was a true meritocracy, so that I didn't have to be politicking so much. I'd rather promote my best people to surround me, but instead I am forced to promote people who have a combined loyalty and competence. It's probably neccesary for me to be good at politics anyway since I occasionally destroy my life. Each time I do so I learn how to more quickly gain an acceptable level of money and influence, though the definition of acceptable keeps rising.

If you have an education and a real skill, you probably can avoid having to worry about social dynamics at all.

No, I just try to be sincere. I don't ask "how is the weather" or "so what do you do" or "Did you hear about the Cubs". I might notice a shirt that has a picture of Michael Jackson on it and talk about our mutual interest in him. Like I said, you can't build genuine relationships with phony shit, just be yourself

How come this game can't have people without stupid names. Like warf or spock are good names but Gul Dukat and all the other names I have seen even on the scum side from our shared PM, all the names are stupid.

I generally find extremely conservative views problematic, as they too often fail to recognize that substantive freedom is just as, if not more, important than literal freedom.
Literal freedom must come first. It currently doesn't exist and we see the results. We have a world where injustice, poverty and suffering are common place. We tried the path you reccomend and are currently trying it, and it has failed us.

3. Thoughts on efforts of radical life extension.
I think it would probably drive us insane.


My thoughts as well. Making the body and brain live forever could possibly have some unexpected psychological impacts, as well as whatever problems could arise from maxing our brains out.

6. Favorite slasher flick?
I don't even know what that is...
Like Hallowee, friday the 13th, nightmare on elmstreet etc.

8. Is it better to do things that will bring about a utopian world in 123 years or things to eliminate suffering now even if the consequences 123 years down the road for those actions are bad?
The former.

It's odd. I thought you would side with Keynes who said we should fuck over our grand children and future generations so this one can be better off.

"“The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead.”
16. Why should a person be banned for driving drunk, if they can still drive better than the worst sobor drivers who are free to legally drive on the road?
Because individual exceptions like that cannot be factored into laws which must govern society in general.

Can't be factored in because it is not practical to do so, or because it is unethical?

Why even bother to VTL the game is over. Nobody but me and you are getting online, so I could literally say anything here and not get lynched. Watch this:

I admit it guys. I'm scum. I am a role blocker and am that trickster God guy from TNG I think who appeared on episode 2 or 3, and had a few other random forgotten appearances.

Drafterman declines challenge to debate, reasoning is?


You'll see who sways voters well or not.

You'll win. When logic squares off against things that create deep emotion, deep emotion always wins. Voters may think I won, but vote con anyway just because they worry about what the implications of voting pro is. I don't usually struggle to overcome bias, but the bias on this subject is so deep, I cannot win. I knew that setting it up.

What it is, is good marketing. There is a reason for my popularity, and the popularity of my debates. I have debates with 250,000 views that have never been considered for the HOF, but I like the attention on them anyway.

Your logic has really been terrible though

You keep saying this, you havent yet to actually address the "logic" behind you being scummy. How can i state this in a way that will make it clearer. 

I don't believe in doing that. Everyone else can discuss that logic. FT said not to defend yourself in these situations. Just look for whoever really is scum and prove it to town.

our night actions are contradictory to your supplied justification for saying your role is useless. 
So what, I have a role and I'm using it. If somebody is widely town read and I am not, it is better to keep them in the game over myself if I also believe them to be town. It prevents a later mislynch. Whether I go back and forth on the ideal of the roles usefulness or if I think it is useful in rare situations and I just happened to find myself in one, doesn't matter.

The one i do buy is that you soft claimed with the explicit purpose of it being town read later on. You of course understand that's suspicious, which is fmpov why you said,

Are you turning this into a philosophical discussion of whether soft claims are something town should do? scum and town both soft claim and it is not scummy to soft claim. I assume everyone's purpose is to tie themselves down to a claim, to get some town cred if that is neccessary in late stages of the game such as mylo or lylo.

Townies shouldn't care how they look period, end of story

Thats you, this DP. Odd how focused you were on making yourself look town with a soft claim when townies according to you shouldn't care about that. So we are to believe because you do, this makes you scum, yes? 

That's not what I mean. Soft claims are okay, as long as they are near to impossible to unravel without you aiding it in being done, and as long as it is also the only likely explanation for that soft claim. When I say townies should not try to act town, I am specifically referring to certain behaviors, such as holding back. So if they think it could come across as scummy, to go hard after somebody they think is scum, they shouldn't hold back because of some misguided fear of being scum read. They should play to the best of their ability, not hold back merely because trying their best to scum hunt will make them look scummy in some way. It in no way means that they should not do things to help being town read such as soft claim, as long as they aren't trying so hard it distracts them from scum hunting.

1. What is the purpose of life?

2. What is your best explanation for the fermi paradox

3. Thoughts on efforts of radical life extension.

4. Have you watched in and out yet, like I suggested?

5. How come I am such a failure in life?

6. Favorite slasher flick?

7. How do you eliminate all uncertainty in life, so you can feel safe?

8. Is it better to do things that will bring about a utopian world in 123 years or things to eliminate suffering now even if the consequences 123 years down the road for those actions are bad?

9. Why?

10. What are your thoughts on things that are big? I tend to think all things big are bad, such as government, business and people with a lot of power and influence?

11. How much money do you make a year?

12. Why did you refuse to answer number 11?

13. What was your IQ tested at according to the most reliable test you have ever taken?

14. Should low IQ people really have the right to cancel out the votes of high IQ and well informed people?

15. Why?

16. Why should a person be banned for driving drunk, if they can still drive better than the worst sobor drivers who are free to legally drive on the road?

17. Wouldn't it make more sense to just regulate who drives based on ability to drive rather than on what they do to their bodies.

18. Honest opinion of me?

19. Least favorite member?

20. length of penis?
