Strange as it may sound, the random number generator also picks Oro (using the post #161785 as the seed).
Of course if we wanted to use the topic number instead, it would be Water.

Very nice OP.
I would say if TRUE CHRISTIANS should be offended by such paintings, in a manner similar to how TRUE MUSLIMS would be, is a debate worthy topic.

You need to pay for my gender studies degree, you fascist!
It's not your degree, it's everyone's degree. People don't get to own things.
Also you presume gender can be studied... The horror, the horror!

I got to say that I am glad Star Trek seems to be is generally ignoring the reboots.

Unless humans are defined in Star Trek by their physical strength, than Klingons being "physically stronger than most species" would set them somewhere ahead of humans on the bell curve. However, I do stand corrected, as it does not seem to be by such an extreme degree as say Vulcans.
Purely in spirit of being tasked with the challenge... Into Darkness showed both that Klingons are strong enough to casually lift a human with one hand (likely just onto her tip-toes but still impressive), and break stone with a punch (about 45 seconds and 90 seconds respectively: https://youtu.be/K0cFLb-JmaQ?t=45).

So it's always bothered me how Picard as an old man, is as strong or even stronger than Klingons in their prime.
These shows and movies have gone through some effort to exhibit how much stronger certain other races are compared to humans. However, one episode had Picard ambushed by multiple assassins, one old human man vs multiple trained killers who have both surprise and home turf advantage... Yeah, I kinda felt sorry for them.
My suggestion is he is likely a Khan, like Ricardo Montalban or Benedict Cumberbatch.

Technically that breed of mason can get scum into their chats. Unlikely the case with the Water Zar dispute suggesting one of them, but still not the confirmed town.

Pie had a decent analysis at the end of the previous day. Unfortunately scum can kill to frame, so we shouldn't jump to any conclusions that his death was to silence him:
Ok so lemme know if I’m wrong. Zaradi claims Cop and sees a guilty on GP who lied by claiming hated town. Then Virt comes out and CCs Zaradi which is indirectly supported by WaterPhoenix who said Zaradi visited Oro NP1. Here are the possible scenarios, correct me if I’m wrongScum can be1.) Zaradi + Someone2.) Water + Virt3.) Grey + Someone4.) Grey + Zaradi (bus)Grey however has lied and per the doctrine of lynch all liars,...
In all honesty, my money is on WP right now, due to seeming to try to save GP at the end of the DP.
I'm heading to the zoo for a date. So if anyone needs me to change my vote, please tag me to get my attention. If the number of posts blows up, I won't be truly catching up until late tonight or even tomorrow morning.

The ontological argument for GP being scum:
- It is possible for a maximum GP scum to exist.
- If a maximum GP scum possibly exists then it exists in some possible mafia game.
- If a maximum GP scum exists in some possible mafia game then it exists in all possible mafia games.
- If a maximum GP scum exists in all possible mafia games then they exist in this mafia game.
- If a maximum GP scum exists in this mafia game then GP is scum.

While possible Zaradi is some type of insane cop (I'd assume they'd check the game and know for sure), and Drafter and Bullish are a scum team, that seems far fetched...

Okay, so what's what happened:
Beloved Princess, If you are lynched, the next Day Phase will be skipped. If you are killed at night, the next Night Phase will be skipped. You win with the town.
I think I missed the part where Speed spelled that out.
So why did Mafia only make a single NK?

@TheDredPriateRoberts
I feel weird having to spell out for you that that male sports bring in far more money than female sports do and since it's a business it should be obvious the more money you earn for a business the more you are worth to them right?
Thank you for agreeing to the premise of the pay gap. With that in place, you insist that so long as the men are pulling in more money, it's not a privilege...
Except womens soccer actually pulls in more money:
"From 2016 to 2018, women's games generated about $50.8 million in revenue compared with $49.9 million for the men, according to U.S. soccer's audited financial statements. In 2016, the year after the World Cup, the women generated $1.9 million more than the men." -The Wall Street Journal

@BrotherDThomas
Saying the correct term for someone is [insult you were specifically warned against using], you are continuing to use the insult.
Just imagine the bad stereotype of a racist police officer pulling over a car for having a black driver, and explaining to said driver that sensitivity training now prohibits him from calling the driver an [expletive] but that doesn't mean the driver is not an [expletive]. He's still used the exact curse in regards to the driver.
What's more, the description of runaway seems an ill fit. For all of Ethang's faults, he's feverish in his determination.

I feel weird having to spell out for you that society is composed of individuals...
You've already insisted "privilege is granted by others" but are insisting it must be exclusively to the letter of the law, instead of how people treat each other regardless of the law.
As the most obvious example, people choose to unfairly and illegally pay men more for less work, as has been recently highlighted by U.S. Soccer. You can do some mental gymnastics to claims that such cases stem from hatred of women rather than favor toward men. However, the outcome leaves men comparatively privileged over women all the same.
Another: Society favors men such that there has yet to be even a female Vice President of the United States.

Raised in Canada first, then the US as a teenager. Who I am today, was largely formed in Iraq.
The USA is unlikely to be the least racist country, but it does fairly well compared to my experiences elsewhere. Of course, in any wide area there's going to be concentrated pockets of such problems.

If I'm vig I kill every night unless there's an exceptional reason not to. This is because I firmly believe in using every town directed kill available.
If you've studied the math behind the Monty Hall problem, then it makes perfect sense. Mafia lead night kills have a 100% chance of being directed at town. Lynching often has mislynches (not going to formulate it right now). A vig by targeting any random player, has a slightly better than random chance.

As scum, I pride myself on being town confirmed multiple times.
Of course, I also even in scum chat refer to how obviously scum certain town aligned players end up being. I honestly had a hard time believing it in one case, even while I sat in the scum chat murdering people.

You are TheAntidoter’s role from Bsh1’s Star Trek Mafia. Your role: “Anti - You are BAJORAN. Bajor has been fighting a war against Cardassia for years; this war has occasionally spilled out into Federation space, leading to the Federation viewing some of you as a terrorist element. Because of your tension with the Federation, you are the MILLER. You will appear to be with the mafia to any investigative roles. You win with the town..”

I’ll be subbing in for SirAnon.
I’m still very busy, so don’t expect fast responses from me, and I will likely be asking for gists if any lengthy stuff (one for this game so far would be nice).
I’m some annoying character from Star Trek named Anti, due to being labeled a terrorist by the federation, I’m the Miller.

@Discipulus_Didicit
Be careful when modifying the content of any quotation.
If changing anything, but [brackets] around it. Such as if you believe "You can always go back to the nothingness you believe you come from," can be paraphrased "Just kill yourself," make it "[Just kill yourself.]" This makes the changes transparent, minimizing any accusations of lies.
I used this technique very well for comedic effect when in a debate about pie:
"[pie] isn't as popular as cake"
Yet for reasons explored last round (flour), a ban on pies would be even more detrimental to cake availability than pie itself. It takes a relatively small amount of flour to make a pie, but a large amount to make a cake.
Also (incoming fallacy) the same line of reasoning, was used by Hitler. One group at a time they removed the less popular ones, trying to leave only the most popular one. It is like that quote from death camp survivor Martin NiemöllerHow long until the the only tolerated foodstuff is flourless Angel Food cake?
Then they came for the [Pizza], and I did not speak out—
Because I [did] not [like pizza-pie either].Then they came for the [Black Forest cake], and I did not speak out—
Because I [did] not [like the pie-like fruit filling between layers].Then they came for [my chocolate birthday cake with sprinkles]—and there was no one left to speak for me."
