Account Name: Ruinae
Account ID: 1-S2-1-10485736
In-Game Name: meme
Crimes Committed: game throw (didn't reveal obvious and vital info)
Your Account Name: Sylvanas
Summary: The setup is extremely skewed against town. Ruinae rolls vet and came in the game with the intention of not communicating in any way beyond variants of "meme", which ended up costing us the win. On the first night, a vigilante dies. The two only possible slots for vet to appear were 1 town killing and 1 town power, meaning he was confirmed as the only vet in the game. I revealed as mayor, and among various non-pms and useless pms, Ruinae pms "meme" to me instead of giving me his role, which would have obviously been useful to know.
Later on, I voted up 14 to trial accidentally (I wanted the other pink player, who was disguiser), and 14 (who was dh) claimed to be vet, which ruinae didn't say anything about, so 14 flew under the radar for the rest of the game. Ruinae never told anything to anyone, and 14 ended up winning in the end as last remaining triad and evil player. Like I said, the one vet we had was confirmed, so he basically handed dh a rock solid defense that also kept everyone from visiting him at night.

[QUOTE=oops_ur_dead;894834]Why the focus on unarmed police shootings?
This is America we're talking about, like half the people are armed. I hate the implication that people who were shot by police while armed somehow deserved to die.
I suppose the cops lighting up this guy was a completely valid reaction because he had a pistol: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBaeZIEkd3Y[/url][/QUOTE]
Oh, I know. Why not take away all their guns?

Mafia Universe has made a new logo, determined by a months-long process as well as a public survey/poll.
The old logo used an M with a U-shaped noose attached to the middle point of the M.

The new logo had a few limitations, such as being limited to using only 3 separate colors. This was so that the logo could fit the the themes that users can use while browsing the website.[/QUOTE]
A man called Montgomery Upshire has committed several hate crimes and that logo could remind some people of the atrocities he committed. May I suggest using the letters Q and Z instead? btw don't bother looking for information about Montgomery, all known mentions of his name were removed from the Internet and all written and audio recordings to prevent anyone from being offended.

Sorry to hear. My cat about that age died about a month ago after her vomiting and weight loss apparently was misdiagnosed as stomach worms. She went from being chubby to skeletal in a matter of days and was drooling and had difficulties breathing when we had her euthanized. I'm still torn between trying not to think of it and feeling like I owe it to her not to try to forget. The worst thing with animals in my opinion, is how you can't fully communicate how much you care about them before they go. It feels unfinished and it's really hard to get over it.

Or better even, nothing. Maybe the people who are allegedly so deeply "uncomfortable" with a word with a debatable, vaguely racial connotation would be best served that way. No, you can't hide away from a word, not even duh enn word/IRL Voldemort.

Society and law turn killers into "ordinary men". People are opportunistic and self-serving, but they're also gregarious and will compromise for acceptance and to avoid exclusion. Psychopaths have a harder time suppressing their urges and less motivation to do so and they have more tolerance to risk, so their true nature shows. "Not killing and not raping" isn't the default mode for people, we made it that way.

I think you know the answer. Seat belts weren't introduced during this horrible current Internet era and didn't incur the wrath of the pro-plague moms. It was impossible for them not to become political and stigmatized.

[QUOTE=Ganelon;870038]I’m not sure what’s worse: short-circuiting your monitor by cumming on it or literally developing necrosis from masturbating too much[/QUOTE]
Let me help. Necrosis. If you have to pick between necrosis and something else, necrosis is almost always worse.

[QUOTE=Marshmallow Marshall;869282]I think believing humans are the best thing existing in the world and not being ready to accept anything stronger, personified or not, is symptomatic of overly developed pride :][/QUOTE]
Humans are the worst, but it doesn't make God any likelier. An omnipotent God could have made us as perfect as he wanted, but instead he did this. Would you say he intentionally did a shit job, or is he just not very good at it?

Yeah it's not, it's just a simple fact.

[QUOTE=Ganelon;868674]My point was that it’s unfair to compare the existence of God with miracles. That comparison isn’t even close lol. No matter how you spin it the creation or whatever? The origins of the Universe don’t make any sense; you either have to believe that it has always existed (kek)[/QUOTE]
I think the comparison is fair. Lightning used to make as little sense as the origins of the universe does now. Either way, my point is that religious explanations were used to fill the void wherever science couldn't find answers. We don't have that answer now and likely never will, but it doesn't make the religious outlook anymore justifiable.
[QUOTE=Ganelon;868674]The origins of the Universe don’t make any sense; you either have to believe that it has always existed (kek), that it emerged from nothing, or that a supreme being or force created it - which begs the question, who or what created that being?[/QUOTE]
Exactly, but why is it preferable to involve a supreme being into the equation? Who created the thing who created god who created the universe? Ultimately we still can't explain why something came from nothing. God is just an unnecessary middle step.

[QUOTE=Ganelon;868464]I’d say the existence of the universe is evidence enough.[/QUOTE]
Maybe from a theist's perspective. It's a form of confirmation bias. If you believe in a god, the unexplained serves as justification for whatever you believe in. Before people knew how they worked, things like lightning, plagues and natural catastrophes could perfectly be passed off as a god's actions, leading to a circular logic where those events justify god and god justifies those events. But they were just unanswered questions, much like the origins of the universe. I think the Universe looks more like a random mess than something a sentient all-powerful being would create, not to mention omnipotence itself is a paradox.

I like how I'm authoritarian because I think popular opinion is usually retarded and politicians are soulless creatures who only believe in whatever will get them (re)elected.
