Higher quality games at this event. Just be aware that MU is full of leftprogs lol
I'll consider being a representative. Not sure if me modding the next game makes that a better or worse idea. I gotta do all my mod duties, of course, but I don't have to use my mental abilities trying to deduce who's town and who's scum in my game and the MU games.

Usually it takes a few weeks or months to start so you would probably be good. I’ve done it the last three times so I’m down for someone else to volunteer as tribute. I have trouble keeping pace cuz the activity is ten times more than debateart. Also the skill level is ten times better. MU players are wild
I support Casey as well and I think she'll do fine
I vote Casey as well

@Casey_Risk
Go for it! You’ll do great
Definitely a different atmosphere than here, especially considering most roles are Vanilla. But it's certainly worth trying if you're looking for something different.
I might be repping a different community- who knows, we might end up in the same game, like last year.

@Casey_Risk
I vote for Casey :)
Agree with what Lunatic said - I play there on a fairly regular basis, the activity is far greater than here and the skillset is definitely different, but you'll get used to it very quickly, especially when the other players there are probably going to be from different communities as well. Just be aware that it's a significant time commitment, when I get seriously invested in a high activity game then at least 2-3 hours a day is needed to maintain a decent level of play.

I appreciate the votes, genuinely I do. However, I think I may have to drop out of consideration. Someone I work with is going to be taking leave starting next week and me and another coworker are expected to pick up some of the slack. Also, I've heard that they may be bumping me to 3rd shift soon, which I was not expecting and am really, really fucking unhappy about. Basically, pretty soon I'm going to be a lot busier with work than I normally am, and with MU being having a higher activity baseline to begin with, I just don't know if I'll be able to keep up well enough.
Don't worry, I should still be able to mod my own game here on DART just fine, but I don't think I'll really be able to participate in the MU Championships.

@Casey_Risk
As your career advisor, just say no to 3rd shift. Just be a stubborn mule and complete unreasonable the most unreasonable part always wins in negotiations, the exception is when they are so unreasonable they actually just cause themselves and the other party to lose, but you have all the power here.
Here is another tip I used to get to 6 figures quickly in restaurant management. Every single time they inconvenienced me in some way. Let's say they want to move me to a new store to clean it up because it's struggling, I would demand a bit of a raise to make up for the inconvenience and without fail they would relent and pay the fuck up

Not sure how much of a choice I really have here if I want to keep my job, but I actually haven't heard direct word from the supervisors yet. I'll have to talk to them about it tomorrow.
It's really frustrating for me, because I bid on my current position and I was told that if you successfully bid on a position, you can't be bumped from it. Idk maybe I misremembered that part, but I don't think so.
Anyway it's way too late, I gotta go to bed.

Actually and I am assuming you live in the United states and it's not a right to work state. If you are fired because you can't take third shift than you can collect unemployment.
Now here's the thing and where social strategy comes in.
Boss- I need you to work third shift, I am sorry
Casey- that sucks, I really love working here and I have to watch my nephew because my relative also works third shift so I have to talk to them and see if they are willing to quit to see if I can do this.
Boss- okay get back to me
What happens here is you keep being a pain in the ass about it and when they really press you tell them that your relative gave 3 week notice and you can do it in 3 weeks and find another out
One of your issues is that you are a progressive, which typically means you view yourself as powerless or weak. You are stronger than you think and you can play the power game and win. Go defeat your boss psychologically while making him feel like he won. Third shift is hell on your body and not worth it. Take a pay cut to get away from that bullshit if you have to
I just dropped my phone completely submerged it in water and yes I am typing this on it and it works fine and you wouldn't know looking at it if I didn't tell you.
For anyone who is clumsy like me just get the Google Pixel which is infinitely better than anything Apple has regardless of what apple fags tell you

I prefer samsung, especially as I have same phone for 6 years and it still works fine.

Yeah that's understandable. Games don't start until a while though, so depending on how long you think you'll be busy you might be able to make it work out. But definitely be wary of the activity requirement there.

Any one of you interested?

@Casey_Risk
You don't like third shift? -100 social credit.

@AustinL0926
I will if no one else does. But I will have the same issue with keeping up as last time. Why don't you do it?
-->
@Lunatic
You did pretty well last year, just unfortunate that you went against a brutal scum team.
I can't go because someone nommed me as one of the candidates to rep MU (I play a lot there) and I accepted, so even if I don't win the vote (there are like 7 other people who got nommed) I'm ineligible to rep another community.

Ill do it if no one else volunteers, but if someone who can be more active than me wants to go for it, please do. I consider myself pretty active for DART standards most the time, but yeah MU standards are insane.

Go for it brotha. I almost want Wylted to do it just to trigger everyone there lol

If I did, my sole purpose would not be to win but to recruit players to this site.
I would just be playing a different game than then.
Your representative should be prepared for having to read upwards of 500-700 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game. Additionally, there’s a requirement that each player must make at least 10 posts per Game Day. Only active players should apply/participate. I
Quite a bit of reading. The posts are easy enough.
So it seems like 9 qualifiers are played and you have to mount a charm offensive to make it to the second round. So it's not about skill but perceived skill.
So ideally we wouldn't send the best player but the most lovable player .
Who has played before?
Who knows the most players on other sites and therefore has some social credit?

@Savant
Just going to tag a few people who might want to do it but are too humble to volunteer
Are you guys down? Gonna need a yes or no
