Super pro, but new to this site. 4)sqrtofneg1 - why is this guy even a newbie? I've played with him before. 5) blkcoffee - kinda like QT in that he's played at other sites, but he doesn't seem like he's going to be as active 6) Jealous - 2 game newbie. from his posts so far, he looks like he's gonna be a lurker. We should PLYNCH d1. Venturing Vets 1) beentheredonethat - why is this guy under vets? he seems really delightful though. I want to be his friend. 2) Tumblewood - kind of a meany. 3) MooooooosyDooooosy - if he looks scummy, he's town. if he looks townie, he's scum. 4) darthfoley - slot please me mine 5) Superbia - so last game he bussed hard and made this awesome case against his team mate. be wary of this dirty buser. 6) FecalFeast - disgusting 7)Ticktock - not sure what the difference between this guy and tumblewood is. both names start with t and both play low to moderate activity. I think this is going to be a really slow game unless the newbs talk a lot. None of the vets are big talkers.  | ||

It could mean that your playful tete-a-tete in the early stages of Day 1 could be a means to generate posts, thus aiming to remove any suspicion placed upon you for inactivity when one clicks your posting summary, and could be a means to suggest that you are both green or blue. Both of these aims could signify the opposite. | ||

Not at all. It is the most suspect thing I've seen in this thread so far. | ||

I spam as either alignment.That's a convenient strategy, but why would a newcomer to TL Mafia whom I imagine you have no prior experience with respond in the same manner besides collusion? | ||

My expectations were mixed in that I simultaneously did not want to be important because I would then be under a lot of pressure to perform my duties up to a certain standard, but I also did want to have some sway in the outcome of the game beyond just words and analysis. I am satisfied with my role. How about you? | ||

On June 04 2016 08:23 MoosyDoosy wrote: So guys, what are your thoughts on CRISPR technology? I did a presentation on it recently and it's a tool to edit genes/DNA. Just interested in your thoughts. If we refine our knowledge of CRISPR we can basically cure genetic diseases and make all mosquitoes male so they don't bite humans and spread shit like malaria, Zika, etc. Common genetic diseases include Tay-Sachs Disease, Down Syndrome, forms of cancer, Parkinson's Disease, etc. So we can cure millions of lives. On the other hand, we can change the cosmetic appearances of our children at will like height, eye color, hair color. Not to mention increase physical capabilities. So supersoldiers aren't far off. The problem I have with this is that people will try to fit a social stereotype of an attractive appearance which is harmful for people's conceptions of themselves. Not to mention it creates a division between the rich and poor since editing embryos requires in vitro fertilization which is an expensive process. Also, there's the issue of personhood with embryos. Should we be allowed to edit embryos? Are they "people" yet at an embryonic stage or until they're born and develop thought? What about as a fetus when their brain starts developing or they start feeling pain? All questions to think about. So what are your thoughts? Pro-CRISPR or anti-CRISPR? :3 Embryos are not people. Even babies are barely people, in my opinion. I am for this, because it is the new age of survival of the fittest. In a liberal society that has welfare and other such bottom-raising measures, the average human being's genetic health is on the decline. People who would have died in the 18th century are procreating, not to mention people that would have died during the formative epochs of our species. Genetic modification is the next step to ensuring that those who either by lottery or hard work have the means by which to ensure a better future for their progeny, and thus a healthier for mankind. Fiscal natural selection is our species' next bottleneck and our savior. | ||

Confirmation bias is attributing new information as support for preconceived notions. I am using only one piece of information as support for a notion that was conceived as a result of this information and not any prior interpretation I had of you or Superbia (of which there was none, as I know none of you). | ||

On June 04 2016 08:32 Superbia wrote: Jealous which between myself and quicky is more suspicious? Going to say that I believe you are equally suspicious in my eyes as you are both players in the same potential scheme. If we forget your high posting volume and only consider the content, I would say your conversation with him and his consequent assertion that I am a townie are contributing factors. While the latter statement is true, the only sure way to know who is townie or not is by being mafia at this point, and to soften the revelation with the word "read" is a simple tactic to avoid suspicion and to potentially win allies in people whom QT knows is town. | ||

I often skip words when I type and have to edit them in later, but because the rules do not allow for editing, my post quality is dropping ): As an editor, this rule is the hardest to work around. | ||

I played my last two TL Mafia games in 2008, in which I was townie and then mafia, in both of which I tried pretty hard by my reckoning. Here are the summaries for full disclosure since they were on a different account: Townie: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/67925-tl-mafia-2-gg?user=fanatacist Mafia: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/80975-tl-mafia-3-night-5?user=fanatacist | ||
