Awesome, good luck! I'll definitely be watching and anyone else who wants to can join the MU Discord. We can't discuss publicly, but can in any chat Oro doesn't have access to. I think I'm gonna make a server for us specifically to discuss in case anyone wants to!

Oh trust me I've exhausted Linkin Park's catalogue. Minutes to Midnight was one of my "four albums no skips"
What I've Done and Hands Held High are two of my all-time favorite songs. Love Linkin Park.

In response to your Three Days Grace post, if I like music along those lines but not much "harder" than that are there any other artists you'd recommend?
If you haven't heard of them Rise Against is great.

Where in that would you possibly have thought I would "still" be voting for Biden? After I proceeded to shit on every reason liberals are using to justify their continuation of support for him, you thought that was a question you needed to ask?
You're also implying that I ever had intentions of voting for him. His entire campaign is predicated on not being Trump, being Obama's VP, and maintaining the status quo. Some of the most important issues to me are full, nationwide marijuana legalization (I don't smoke myself, primarily because it's completely victimless and as means to an end of an easy and massive first step in justice system reform), justice system/prison reform, gun rights, drastic reductions in departments like the NSA, and environmental sustainability. Biden checks none of those boxes. I'll be waiting for the Libertarian primary to finish up and be deciding between their nominee and the Green Party nominee. My politics are in a weird limbo right now and I'll likely have to compromise on some important issues in order to support either of those candidates.
So no, I won't "still" be voting for Biden, nor did I ever intend to.

@bmdrocks21
To be fair, most lefties think that Trump is also a rapist. Maybe they'd rather vote for the left-wing rapist over the conservative one?
I have seen many liberals comparing the number of accusations, which is disgusting, as if they're justifying voting Biden because "he's sexually assaulted fewer women" as if that's a measuring stick a first world country should be using. Casual reminder that 0 is the only acceptable number of sexual assaults to commit.
I've also seen many of them telling actual leftists (aka not the same as liberals, we're talking anyone Bernie or further here) that you need to vote Biden because he's "the lesser of two evils" (same shit they said about Hillary) and they "understand" if you're a sexual assault survivor and can't bring yourself to vote for someone who allegedly assaulted a woman, as if only victims of sexual assault are the ones who should be appalled by it or something. Once again disgusting. The hoops liberals are jumping through here are abhorrent.
Now don't get any ideas any of you pro-Trumpers, I hate him more than Biden and I'm certainly not on "your side" here.

Another post about "leftists" without knowing (or caring to properly use) the difference between leftists and liberals. The vast majority of leftists weren't going to vote Biden before any accusations, her word was enough before this emerged, and they certainly aren't voting Biden now.
Many liberals, on the other hand, are showing hypocrisy in this. Believe all women until it's politically inconvenient. It's utter bullshit.
Situations that I see playing out:
- Biden gets slammed on this, loses
- Biden gets replaced by anyone other than Bernie, Trump slams the DNC (and rightly so) for being illegitimate and corrupt and the DNC nom becomes a sacrificial lamb, they get slaughtered
- Biden gets replaced by Bernie, all these dumbass "blue no matter who #resist" libs have to face the reality that they don't believe their own bullshit and don't vote for Bernie, Bernie gets slaughtered, and the Dems then use it to shit on progressives' electability for years to come.
I was bullish on Trump winning already, at this point I'd give it >75% chance Trump wins.
I agree the media should be paying more attention to this, but to be fair, all anyone is covering is Covid19.
I think this is also a valid point. Definitely deserves significantly more attention but I can see some level of justification.

@WaterPhoenix
Are you guys willing to be the rep and backup?
Created:

Ok we have oromagi with four votes and water with three if I'm correct? Would like someone to check to make sure. If that's the case and both confirm they're willing we can send oro as our nominee and water as the backup in case something comes up for oro.
As far as questions regarding the championship I'm happy to answer those I can and refer you to others that can answer what I can't.
To answer the ones oro raised: time requirement is minimal to play, though obviously the more you put in the better you're likely to do. There are a series of games played in prelims, semifinals, and a final round. Your fellow players vote on who advances with a panel of judges that watch all the games selecting a few more players that played well and that they thought were deserving despite not gaining the vote of their peers. If you do not advance past the prelims (I believe the "top" ~25% of players do) it's only a commitment for one game. I believe they'll send you a survey to gauge your time zone and ideal game from an activity standpoint. They try to match players up so that times line up as much as possible and people who post 15 times a phase aren't often paired with those who post way more.
Software isn't required, it's all hosted on their site. They have a feature called modbot that does things game mods usually do here (mainly send role PMs, process night actions, and count votes) which has a slight learning curve but is great once you learn. No wrong vote counts ever again!

If you don't have replacements I'd give low posters till D2 before mod killing. I take full responsibility for not realizing the game had started/sufficiently posting once I did, but I think that your decision to modkill my spot was rash.

Hey guys. We once again have been invited to participate in the annual Mafia Championship hosted on Mafia Universe. I've represented DDO/DART the past two years and as a result have been asked to communicate this with all of you guys.
Assuming we'd like to send a representative, I figure we should nominate people here, maybe give that a week, then vote on the nominees for a week or so. They want reps confirmed by April 27.

Tbh that might make Wylted hate it more

Wow. Two days and I caught up in five minutes. Singularity being Wylted makes a lot more sense regarding his posts in signups.
supa claiming early feels good. Kinda wanna townread that he’s saying bullish called vanilla honey. Sweet, pleasant flavor, so why not make it theme-relevant like that.
I have a guess as to Oro’s character from his breadcrumbs. I’d advise you make them more subtle in the future. As of now it’s something that is blatant and mostly just an effort thing as to whether or not people want to solve the puzzle

I ended up enjoying rebuilding my current one. I realized I have *some* access to the old one, as my old phone will cooperate for anywhere between one and ten minutes before shutting down for a few hours, so I mostly use it to donate high level troops to my new account

This game will be open-setup. There roles will be:
Mafia
- Tracker
- 2x Goon
Town
- Modified Cop (Odd Night)
- Modified Vigilante (Even Day Submit Shot, Even Night Shot Processes)
- 9x Vanilla
Modifications:
The cop's result will be sent to a random player who can be either town or mafia-aligned. The only people who cannot receive the cop's result is the cop and the target. The recipient will be sent the result at the very beginning of the next day phase.
Example: Alex is the cop. Some time during NP1, Alex investigates Adam. This result is randomly sent to any one player except Alex or Adam, in this case Tom. At the beginning of DP2, the result will be given to Tom. Alex does not know whether Adam is innocent or guilty.
The vigilante's target will be chosen by the vigilante then the shot sent to a random player who can be either town or mafia-aligned for approval. This person can choose to allow the shot to go through, in which case the target dies, or "holster" the shot, in which case the shot does not process and the target will not die. The only person who can't be selected to approve the shot is the vigilante and the target. The vigilante MUST SUBMIT THE SHOT BEFORE THE DAY PHASE ENDS. It will then be sent to the player who needs to approve the shot at the beginning of the night phase. IF THE PLAYER DOES NOT SUBMIT A "Holster/Allow" ACTION THE DEFAULT IS TO LET THE SHOT PROCESS AND THE TARGET DIE.
Example: Sam is the vigilante. Before the end of DP2, Sam submits a shot on Alex. The shot is randomly sent to any one player except Sam or Alex, in this case it is sent to Sarah. Sarah decides to allow the shot to go through. Alex dies.
Theme:
There will be a theme in some capacity. I'll be making up stories for each player's "death" that will have no relevance to the game. You guys will all be given stereotypical Italian Mafia names (Tony, Al, Vinny, etc) but these will have no bearing on alignment or role or anything like that.
Game Mechanics:
The day will end in a majority lynch. If a majority is not reached before end of day, there will be a plurality lynch.
Example: There are seven players left. At the end of the day phase, Sam has three votes, Adam has two, James and Scott each have one. Sam will get lynched.

I think any game that's literally everyone gets a role style role madness should be presumed to not be balanced or at the least very swingy.

So let me get this straight.Pie was about to be written off as "mod confirmed town" and I, his teammate, instead of literally doing nothing and allowing him to be "mod confirmed" decided to fight tooth and nail to bus him.That's your theory.
Yep, that's exactly what I did :D

I’ll try to find it but speed essentially said that’s how it’d work

@Discipulus_Didicit
As he was the competing wagon to scum I’m more inclined to think bullish is town. I think scum would come to the same conclusion and wouldn’t see them blindly attempting to push that again. The theory I proposed is plausible in my mind but not something I’d lynch off of. I’m going to bed but would like to look at how the wagons formed there and who was adamant against pie.

@Discipulus_Didicit
So regarding Ragnar you essentially think that he already knew how the bodyguard/lover interaction would work, that mafia had roleblocked bullish, and that Ragnar therefore knew that bullish hadn't worked as anticipated so he thought it easy to frame bullish and push a mislynch there?

@Discipulus_Didicit
The "I'm caught up, you said that in #96 was referring to the bus theory. Since you had Oro and I as two of your three scum pile members I figured that meant you were still on the two of us specifically as the bussers.
