Perfect time to make my return?

What was noted about Tezzeret (Test of Metal) is that he isn't uncommonly powerful.
What he is, however, is cunning. And he doesn't exactly fight fair. Combining the two is what makes him dangerous.

That said, I'd say it'd be difficult for Tezzeret to use a foreign incantation - he's an artificer at the base. Same with the Mark. I can find a lot of Chaos devotees who don't have a Mark, though Magnus got it near-instantly. Even so, it'd still be outside interference.

Oh, and Vote Chaotic Genius.

Query: Why is Superman banned but not Thor, if it's taken as a given that those feats are true?

If those are true, how did Thor still lose to Emma Frost? Like I said in the Dante thread - how does Thor ever get hit by anything, as well as not instantly obliterate everything, if that's true?

Also, the "Thor's a god" argument is invalid, given Norse god. As a reminder, Norse gods die all the time - one even died to an mistletoe dart.

Side note: killing Abaddon via standard methods would probably suffice for the purpose of this contest.
Similarly, clockworking would probably be ineffective in this case given how it works - from what I recall, it uses the multiple worlds theory and picks from the best of possible worlds.

Quote from Von

Artistic license I would guess, it would also make for a pretty boring game. It's like saying well if Superman can move at super sonic speeds explode everyone he touches why doesn't he do this to everyone he faces?

So which makes more sense - everything in cutscenes but the atmospheric entry burn is artistic license, or the atmospheric entry burn is artistic license?
I know which one I'm picking.

Must I go on? To maintain he moves at 40km/s, you would have to invalidate every piece of information in Devil May Cry for the atmospheric entry burn.

Something I just calculated: If Dante were to strike the earth at 40km/s, that equates to 40*60*60 = 144000 km/h. An asteroid hitting Earth is about 48000 km/h.
Something seems very, very wrong with those numbers.

Nope. I just think that it's a bit overdone when you talk about how often your reads were right, and ignore every other time they were wrong.
I recall that during some of the games you used as examples, you were suspicious of practically everyone in the game, and it's hard not to be right at some point when that happens.

Quote from DRey

You guys got the message wrong, I never mentioned cheating or anything like that, that totally not the point.

My point is: I feel it's an unfair advantage when a subset of players can see invisible players while the others cannot, and it's not a case of trying to cheat or anything like, the info is just there impossible to miss.

In fact I think this fact may have hurt me in the past simply because I had no idea of this...

TLDR: I think it's a good idea to require all moderators to play as a gimmick from now on, btw I know this won't prevent people from getting the info if they truly want, but I simply don't care. I trust salvation mods more than average people and I don't think anyone plays mafia with the intention to cheat anyway. But when the info is on your face it's impossible to not use it.

If you're really that desperate to keep it hidden, just log out and read the threads you want as a guest. Same effect.

Artifice, you have stated that the only thing you did wrong is role PM quoting. Yet you were put on probation for more than that.
You argue that you should be removed from probation because you understand what you have done wrong and have ceased doing so. However, you only ceased doing so because you were on probation, which is supported by your own words at the end of Legend of Aang Mafia.

There is no reason to believe that you won't simply start back up again once removed from probation, especially when any contrary opinions are dismissed as being a kangaroo court.

The only other player I know on the probation list requested it himself because he realized that his actions were wrong. He's the only person who I'd argue has reason to ask for his own removal. Then I look at you. Yet you fought against it every step of the way, and now are pushing for it to be removed at the earliest possible opportunity, while completely ignoring part of the reason that you were put on probation.

There is no reason that the rules should have to be changed to curb one person's lust for victory, and the fact that it's actually necessary to stop you is ridiculous beyond all words.

The thing's that I see language saying that he's repenting for his behaviour and language saying that it was a mistake born of ignorance. If I felt it was sincere, I'd be the first to petition that probation be lifted. Yet I can't. You can't apologize for your behaviour yet maintain that you did nothing wrong. It's like the phrase "If I offended you, then I'm sorry."

I feel that this is reinforced by what he said at the end of Legend of Aang Mafia. Simply put, he argued that if he wasn't on probation, he'd have been perfectly willing to bring outside elements into it. That phrase, to me, symbolized the whole issue of it. He doesn't see anything wrong with what he did - he's simply responding to others' reactions. Putting it another way, he's not sorry for his behaviour, he's sorry for the fact that there were hostile reactions to it.

/in.

I'm curious to see how this turns out.
