As of now years old, my support of Donald Trump has been terminated. I have moved on from the president and will be looking to the future for a new candidate to get behind. I still remain a Conservative Libertarian in my beliefs, but Trumps support has dwindled. It is time as a country to rally around Biden. To my Conservative friends, please do not fight the election results. There is no need in giving the word "Republican" a distaste. Could there be signs of collusion, possibly, but until hard evidence comes, let us not dwell on this notion.

To Trump, please peacefully concede the election when the results come in. John McCain's resignation speech is one that I greatly enjoyed. To claim you have won the election is foolish. You have not won and you should start accepting defeat. You are leaving distaste in many of the mouths of Conservatives, especially since lots of them are being much more mature about the election than you are

Also, I would like to thank you for your time in the office you spent. You have helped business across the nation for 3 years, your efforts to denuclearize North Korea, your support of the military, giving $1B in funding to autism research and services, and lowering unemployment. Your 2016 election was stunning and chapelling, defying all odds and winning. Despite what some many say, I believe you were a good president.

To Biden, you will probably be the president of the United States (unless anything drastic happens to change that). You have a tough task in not only uniting the country, but fighting COVID, helping return to normalcy, and trying to restart the country. While I disagree with increasing taxes and policy, you were my top pick for a Democratic candidate behind Amy K. I wish you good luck and good health in the office. 

While I am concerned because of Kamala and some of the democrats socialist policies which I disagree with, I am one to trust my faith that god knows what he is doing in this scenario and has a plan. I will trust my fate in what god has decided. Fear and anger are a given for lots of Conservatives and people on both sides and the future is unclear, but as the election dwindles down, we will see what happens

Nickelodeon was one of the most dominant cartoon network in the 2000s, the most dominant network in this time period with some of the best cartoons to be brought from this era. This includes Prime Spongebob, Danny Phantom, Fairly Odd Parents, Hey Arnold, Invader Zim, MLAATR, these cartoons are some of the most displayed and iconic works that came from Nickelodeon. The station was peaking with brilliance and creativity on all ends with masterfully crafted TV shows. If you think it couldn't get better, you're wrong. Nickelodeon achieved a Magnum Opus state that the station, and maybe any other cartoon station will ever achieve. This Magnum Opus is Avatar. No, not the dumb blue people movie, but Avatar: The Last Airbender.

This show is the peak of creative and deep writing combined into a relatively engaging series. The writing is comparable to Naruto, but in a way much more simpler and relaxed than the likes of Naruto. Avatar can not compare to Naruto in anyway, shape, or form, but Avatar reaches a level of excellence that Western Animation studios have yet to complete. The animation itself is beautifully crafted, structure, and made. The background designed are beautiful, calming, and intense. The great work of colors and vibrancies with each setting is marvelous. The grasp of nature and life is beyond compare to others. The character designs are effective, memorable, and not uncomfortable to look at. It's a great complex yet simplistic look that makes the show an easy yet enjoyable watch.

Character development is a crucial part to the story and Avatar is a perfect example of beautiful character development. Aang becomes much more mature as the series ages and he becomes much more prepared and ready for the burden ahead. He develops a sensitive and caring nature to himself while using his power to restore happiness to the world. His ability to master elements and modes become a key resource. Aang is also fueled by many other characters who help him in his journey. Katara now has closure with her mother's death as the series ends, and is ready to move on to save the world. She is the backbone of Aang throughout the series in many ways and is the moral compass for Aang. She becomes a true leader and a passionate soul, with great expectations for the future. Sokka develops into someone more courageous, smart, and understanding in the series. He keeps the same attitude of loyalty and affection, but develops into a skillful leader that works with others ideas, versus his will to do only his way. He still remains comic relief in the story. Do I even have to mention Zuko, arguably the true hero of the story. Coming to terms with his fate, his boldness in breaking away from his father, his desire, and motives, he goes through the most change in this series and for the better. He becomes much more sympathetic for people and becomes a hero to Team Avatar. Zuko's character is essential and his turn became one of the most surprising revelations. There are also characters who are strong backbones for other characters, those being Iroh and Toph. Their willingness to stay to their character made them important, essential, and beautifully crafted characters. Their writing has never changed and it ultimately benefits. I do feel as if Ozai was underdeveloped a ton in this story and I would have liked for him to have much more time on screen.

The storyline is clear, comprehensive, simple, and fulfilling. There are no gaps or questions left in the series besides the future of the world to come. This is a beneficial gap in all plots. The lack of major turns and twists makes the plot a simple yet effective story that provides deep insight. The plot isn't too deep, which works to the benefit of the series, as its focus of character development makes up for that. There is a clear evil will and a good will and they both clash, and it is still entertaining to watch. While some arcs are certainly better than others, they are written in a great way. The Ba Song Sei, Final, Black Sun, and North Pole Invasion, being some of my favorite arcs. 

The original soundtrack for this is truly amazing. The use of traditional Asian instruments, the calm vibe, and the pomp and circumstance battles fit the mood perfectly. This has one of the best tracks of any cartoon

In conclusion, Nickelodeon will never reach such a level of cartoon ever. This cartoon is truly a gem for western animation. This cartoon is a timeless relic of beautiful characters and story. This may be the closest thing there is to a rival of Naruto.

Animation: 8.8
Character Development: 9.6
Plot: 8.8
Music: 9.3

TOWN WINS

Whiteflame - You are Aang. You have been trapped in an iceberg for over 100 years and came out engulfed in a major war. You are the predecessor of the Avatar Roku and are able to use all types of bending and one of the only people to learn energy bending and actively use this technique. You are a 1x Sensor. One night you may learn how many mafia people were on the last lynch. You win with town

Danielle - You are Zuko. Originally a member of the firebending nation, with the support of Iroh, you reject Orah’s philosophy and join Aang’s group. You become lifelong friends with Aang. You are a firebending master. You are Bulletproof. Each night you may select a person to protect. If targeted by the mafia, you will die instead of them. You win with town.

BearMan - You are Toph. You are blind. In spite of your parents, you decide to go with Aang and his group to discover something more than her life. You are a master earthbender and also mastered metal bending as well, using sensory from underground attacks using vibrations to determine an opponent's location. Did I mention you’re blind? You are a Tracker. Each night you may choose someone to follow, and you will know who they visit. You win with town. 

Crocodile - You are Ty Lee. You are a cheerful and energetic girl looking for attention because you did not have any individuality at home with 6 sisters. You are an acrobat that specializes in Chi blocking. Everyone loves Ty Lee for her great personality, don’t we? You are Loved. It takes one extra vote to lynch. You win with town.

MisterChris - You are Sokka. You are Katara’s brother in the series and you live a tragic life after both of your parents died. You are a part of the Water Tribe and assume responsibility for the tribe for the war and set out to the South Pole where you met Aang. He soon became a leader during the war to train the youth for the war. You are the Even Lobbyist. Your vote is worth double on even number day phase. You win with town.

iLikePie5 - You are Katara.  You are Sokka’s sister in the series and you live a tragic life after both of your parents died. You feel traumatized by the murder of your mother and never truly recover. You are a part of the Water Tribe and discover Aang when on a journey in the South Pole. Aang will soon be your husband. You are a Medium. Each night you may talk to a dead person. You win with town.

Warren42 - You are Appa. You are the animal that transports the gang around. You aren’t a part of any tribe because you are an animal. You are a Vanilla. You win with town.  

Greyparrot - You are Momo. You are the animal that Aang’s gang finds in the Southern temple. You are pretty irrelevant in the show. You are a Vanilla. You win with town

==============

Lunatic - You are Iroh. You are one of the former generals of the Fire Nation, however you do not associate with the deadly way of the fire nation. You strongly believe in the balance of elements and support Aang’s group of people. You also consider Zuko a second son due to your sons tragic passing. You are the Saulus. he first time you are lynched you will not die, but your alignment will change to win with the Town. You also do not join the Mafia PM and have no idea who the mafia are. You win with Mafia.

Speedrace - You are Azula. You are the princess of the fire nation played by the legendary voice actor Grey DeLese. Her father excluded her from a lot and showed favoritism toward the brothers of the group. Later exiled from the land, you end up joining Team Avatar in an attempt to become leader with Zulo. You are Odd JOAT  1x Framer, 1x Lawyer, 1x Janitor. You may use one of these abilities during the NP. You win with Mafia.

Skittlez09 - You are Ozai. You are the final leader of the 100 Year War, reigning as the leader of the Fire Nation. You are a Firebending Master and are considered the most powerful fire bender to exist. You are obsessed with domination by building up the industry within the fire nation. You are an egotistical maniac overcome with the want for domination. You are Even JOAT 1x Strongman 1x Ninja 1x Role Cop. You may use one of these abilities during the NP. You win with Mafia.

===========
On Balance/Theme:
After reviewing this game, I definitely realized this game was very swingy and probably leaned more toward the town. A lawyer and framer could be used to manipulate Sensor's results. The Ninja countered Tracker. Role Cop was additional. Janitor was countered by Medium but could be used to try to paint the Medium as scum, Loved and Lobbyist in theory could counter each other for a net negative, and Strongman could counter a Bodyguard. This game had a lot of swing to it that could favor mafia depending on how the Saulus played. That was the biggest swing of all that could tip the tables for each side

The theme was Fire Nation vs Team Avatar. Ty Lee did go to Team Avatar in the end. Iroh is questionable for Saulus, but he is much more of a Saulus than Zuko. Zuko was exiled from the fire nation and just wanted to come back. He had a motive for wanting to go back while Iroh just wanted his son to be happy, hence why Iroh was a Saulus. Also the Toph as Tracker argument was inherently dumb. It's called *clap clap*. It is a perfect justification for Toph as she uses sensory of the ground to locate her opponent. She is also blind. I think justifications were fine

==============
On Game:

This was a subpar game on many ends. My biggest concerns came from Chris and Crocodile. You both had roles that town confirmed you, however, you did not claim it until DP3 where more suspicion was drawn. This is more for Chris because he didn't even use his role in DP2, which could've town confirmed him in general. I think this was a big reason why scum had a chance in the end. 

The Pie lynch in DP2 was lazy. While I think Pie could've claimed, because if the DP played out properly, the NK would probably be the two confirmed people, and I think mafia would try to draw the mislynch on Pie. Pie probably could've claimed, but it is was a lazy lynch fueled mostly by emotion.

Whiteflame is new, and did a good job for his first time playing. If I were him, I would've CC'd Speed. A Sensor is an investigative affiliation finding similar to Cop and if you made a CC on that, town would've had an easier path to victory, but the use of your role was well played and all.

I think we should make a note to stop using likes as a way to determine lynch trains. I found that whole premise inherently stupid and caused town to get off track.

Lunatic played his role extremely well in this game. He worked to what gave him the best advantage in this game and used it to have him win. His ultimate goal was to flip and he achieved in a way to hurt mafia. I think that was pretty smart, but I would've liked to see how he would've went about the win with mafia route. He played a great job to secure town a win.

Danielle had some great insight into the game but IMO was a bit aggressive on lynch trains. She used her role wisely in this game however and contributed to town

Scum had a very sub-optimal game. For once, killing Warren was an inherently bad move by Speed. This is what I believe lost you the game. You killed a Vanilla player and hid it when he claimed himself as Vanilla. I think this was a foolish move on the mafia's end to do this. Strongmanning Danielle was smart with the info you had at the time. The problem came at DP3 with skittlez. Skittlez should've claimed Suki or Yue IMO to try to lure a lynch away. To claim vanilla so late in game with a minor character seems suspicious and led to the lynch. From there, that just led to a whirlwind of troubles, and led to the downfall.

Greetings! This mafia game is a 2 theme selection mafia, where you can choose 2 themes to play from. The two theme are....

A. Avatar The Last Airbender
B. Supa's Musical Taste

These are the two themes you will deciding on. When you sign up, please specify a theme you want. If we end in a tie, I will use an RNG to determine the theme

Supa's Rule and Regulations
  • No editing or deleting posts of any kind
  • No outside communication of mafia game (private PMs, other forum chats, other members) unless designated to do so
  • There will 72hr day phases and, 48hr night phases unless there is activity level that below 75-125 posts within this time frame. From there, 24hrs extensions will be given ONCE and ONCE only for the DP. 
  • To contact SupaDudz about anything, private message me or ping me in game
  • If I mess up a vote count, please let me know asap so I can correct it. If I mess up anything within the game, please let me know. Humans are not perfect
  • Follow the basic CoC rules (no doxxing, attempt to doxx, etc.)
Failing to do any of these things will result in a warn or modkill

Clarifications
Recently, there has been controversy about how to handle censorship in game and behavior. I will give my thoughts on how I mod.

I have no rules when it comes to calling people using foul language. I believe the freedom of speech is important to moderating a game. If someone is making attacks on you, they are just ruining their character. However, very rarely will I intervene. I will only intervene where the feud and obscenities becomes so excessive that is derails a game. You will not be modkilled for this, but a hard warn will be in place. I have a high tolerance for those feuds and have no problems with them, but don't make excessive to the point of ruining the game.

=================

Both themes are setup for 11, but I can increase at maximum to 13. 10 is the bare minimum.

Dear Almighty DART God,

I fear the worse has returned. SupaDiaz has returned for blood and vengeance against opposition. Gone are the days of risky gambits, lazy arguments, and senseless arguing. I fear the SupaDiaz will be impenetrable, unbreakable, and god damn scary. I fear thee who join the site now who spite SupaDiaz. SasukeDudz became so strong in will, honor, and glory that he was given a spot in the site's Hall of Fame. Yes, you heard me right. The Hall of fucking Fame. Reserved for moderators, the elite debaters, and the most memorable members on this site, SasukeDudz was inaugurated into this great honor, in only his second year of the site. You know what is the craziest thing, he won the spot in an anonymous decision. Just as we thought we were weakening SasukeDudz, SupaDiaz returns. Oh lord this the end. SupaDiaz adds a new creative, passionate, and ignited fire into a contained SasukeDudz. He adds the fuel, the flare, and emotion. I don't know how the world will survive this. I write to the gods to shed mercy on me, and allow me to live the life I was destined. I pray for the state of DART.


Regards,
The People

So after today's devastating loss against A's, I left with more clarity with the White Sox than doubt. I am so happy this team that has given me so much pain from fellow Cubs fans is now shining as the Marlins are looking for an 2003 repeat against the Cubbies. But this series vs the A's is the future, and the White Sox are going to be the next strong AL team. Let's look 

1. The Problem Lies In Coaching

Renteria clearly isn't the manager for the future. Argue all you want about the bullpen swapping, but his micromanaging, substitutions, bullpen managing, cost the Sox this series. Renteria is not the coach for the playoffs. He seems to be the problem with this team. He's fired and replaced by a better manager. The right one is out there somewhere. The Sox should fire him and hire a competent manager

2. Cap Room

It's clear the Sox have the money to make a splash in free agency. They should take the opportunity to make a signing. Bauer is a good option. Straighten up the relief with solid vets to help the younger people develop in the season. If the Sox want, they can splurge on a hitter like Springer or Stanton potentially. Springer is probably the most likely, but look at a potential White Sox rotation in 2021

Pitching
1. Bauer
2. Giolito
3. Keuchel
4. Kopech
5. Dunning/Cease/Gonzalez

Their bullpen
Colome
Cishek
Crochet
Greene
Bummer
Marshall

A batting order
1. Anderson
2. Springer
3. Abreu
4. Jimenez
5. Robert
6. Grandal
7. Moancada
8. Vaughn
9. Madrigal

You know who's on their bench?

Encarnacion
McCann
Engel

Crazy
This White Sox team can be deadly

"MAFIA HAS NO WAY TO WIN THIS GAME!"

"SO BASTARD MOD! WE LOSE! WAAA WAAA."
RANT

To the new players who joined cuz of Naruto, I am sorry that 3 games have gone to shit, with 2 being concession and 1 with a bad setup, but it's time to go out and make this post.

Stop fucking conceding.

"But Supa, we are doomed if we lose ____."
No you are not doomed as scum, you are just lazy. You have a very high probability of winning if NP actions are done correctly and you play smart. If you believe you have no chance at winning that means your play as town has not been good enough to warrant you being alive in the DP. Play strategically. A good example of a good scum is Speedrace. I specifically remember him losing his scum partner in DP1 and DP2 two times, and coming back to win the game? You wanna know how, by fucking playing smart


"This game is so bastard, OMG, *rage quits*"
Well someone needs there diaper changed. What is quitting the game gonna do besides anger the mod? The mod will simply not care and not improve because of your stupid decisions. You take your concerns to the endgame and the mod will take that advice much better than you trying to make a statement, like LeBron James. You are making yourself look ignorant and lazy over something so simple

FUTURE
You know you now set an example for shitty play as mafia as well. It is fairly obvious we have new players who are playing mafia and wants to genuinely play a full game without your dumb bullshit. You are not only ruining the experience of a genuine town win for town, but you lead noobs into bad behavior as scum and have easy metas. We know there are lazy players on mafia, and we know it's an issue. But countering lazy for lazy is simply not the solution to fixing issues

That's all. Enjoy

Town wins

There is no such thing as mafia

MisterChris: You are Naruto Uzumaki. The main protagonist of the show, you were cursed with the spirit of the nine-tailed fox living inside of you, which labels you as an outcast. However, with this power, you use it to protect the Hidden Leaf Village and are one of the most powerful ninjas to ever exist, able to defeat some of the hardest opponents. You are a Demi God (even night). Each night, the great wheel is spun to determine what action you will do. The wheel decides between healing, killing, and investigative. Once the wheel has chosen, you may decide which action would you like to perform. If you decide to use your killing role, if you kill an innocent, you will be unable to vote for the DP. You win with town.

Greyparrot: You are Sasuke Uchiha. One of the last remaining of the Uchiha clan, you are considered the prodigy of the class and are considered the strongest by many peers. You act on revenge, trying to kill your brother Itachi and get revenge on him for killing your family. You are a Tracker. Each night you may choose to track someone. You win with town.

Oromagi: You are Lady Tsunade. The Fifth Hokage elected by the great counsel, you are heir to Sarutobi Sensai, the Third Hokage, after his tragic passing in his fight with Orochimaru. You are given the power of healing and creating medicine, and are ⅓ of the legendary Sannin. You are a Doctor. Each night you may choose someone to save. You win with town.

That1User: You are Sakura Haruno. You adore Sasuke and fall madly in love with him, to the point where you would sacrifice yourself for him. You are also adored by Naruto, but hate him because he is a punk. You come to your senses when Sasuke is kidnapped, and start to appreciate Naruto and all he has done for you. You are also the smartest in your field and can memorize various jutsu’s. You are a Weak Hider. Each night you may choose to hind behind another character. If you hide behind mafia or any killing role, you die. You win with Town

Speedrace: You are Gaara. You are similar to Naruto in a sense that a spirit lives inside of you and you are virtually impossible to stop, but you have a different motive. Your motive is to kill everyone, and your only way of living is through killing others, but in Shippuden, you reform yourself and soon become the Kazekage. You are Strongarm Vengeful. If (MisterChris) is killed in the night, you will kill the person that killed him the next night. However, if this person activates any form of defense on themselves, you ultimately sacrifice yourself. If anyone visits you, they will be shot. You win with town. You can not dye except by lynching

Crocodile: You are Kakashi Sensai. Labeled as the “copy” ninja due to your ability to analyze an opponents moves and copy them using the Sharigan, you are a fierce ninja with extreme quickness, and can de-escalate situations with a calming voice, you are hidden behind a mask of mystery. You are a Mimic. Once per game you may visit another player. You will permanently gain the role of that player, replacing this one. If you mimic a mafia player, you turn into a Vanilla. You win with Town.

Pattern: You are Hinata Hyuga. You are the heiress to the main branch of the Hyuga clan, therefore you are the one that is the savior to the clan, but you are worst than your cousin, Neji. You are Vanilla Town.

skittlez09: You are Rock Lee. You have literally no skill in Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, so you are overall worthless. However, your hard work and mastery in Taijustu’s leads you to give Sasuke troubles when in a friendly battle. You are extremely fast and can move at the speed of light. You are also a meme in the dubbed version. You are a vanilla townie.

WaterPhoenix: You are Iruka Sensai. You are the teacher of Naruto in the series and the first person that truly believed in him. You have no jutsu abilities besides the most powerful one, the talk no jutsu. You are Vanilla Town

============
iLikePie5: You are Pain. You are one of the most famous villains, which you possess the Rinnegan and reincarnate yourself in the body of your friend, Yahigo. You are a god like force, and want the world to be balanced under your version of the Akatsuki. You are the Janitor (x1) (Perma). One night, you may choose whether or not the NK target role will be revealed for the entire DP. You win with mafia.

Ragnar: You are Kisame Hoshigaki. Appearing with Itachi, you are able to block people out with a strong sword that stops enemies. You are a Roleblocker. Each night you select a person who you will block. You win with mafia

BearMan: You are Madara Uchiha. One of the main villains in the series, you are the creator and founder of the Akatskuki, and are responsible for the summoning of the nine tailed fox in the Hidden Leaf, trying to destroy the Leaf after the pain they caused the Uchiha clan. You have a Rinnegan, which means you are sent as a god of creation. You are extremely powerful in all of your jutsu’s, in fact, you are so powerful, the creator of the show had no idea on how to kill you since you are technically that powerful You are Ninja. Your steps do not appear on any radar. You win with mafia

============
NP Actions

NP1:
Chris receives 1x investigativeOromagi doc That1user
That1user hide behind Pie
BearMan NK That1UserGreyparrot track Ragnar

Endgame Comments:
Game Mechanics: Theme Split is Akatsuki vs Naruto’s Supporters. Some may even argue that Sasuke isn’t a supporter, but I argue without Sasuke, Naruto would not have grown into the hero proclaimed to be in the series in general. All justifications made sense for people who watched Naruto. There is some controversy about Sakura’s which I point out a key detail in the role of the PM. Notice how her role description relies heavily on Naruto and Sasuke for her character development, and not much on her overall ability besides her smartness. This is why she was a weak hider in the game. All justifications were linked. Another one was Greyparrot’s, which I did say you want to kill your brother Itachi! I mean, how do you even know where the guy is lmao. You have to TRACK him. Anyway moving on to balance.

I do believe this did mildly favor the town side, however it was a 9v3 setup with major town disadvantages in general. 

Tracker ---> Ninja
Doctor ----> Roleblocker
Weak Hider is essentially a town detriment. No actions can be done on this person on both sides and they can die by hiding behind mafia, which seemed to be the case in general
Strong Vengeful + PGO is the role that makes it town sided in general, however, this can be countered by a RB, which kills the role. The strong variant in vengeful is simply the addition of a PGO variant.
Then there’s Demi God, which is just an additional ⅓ to any of killing, invest, heal.The Mimic turns into Vanilla when encountered with mafia, so mafia can get away with a fake claim of vanilla if worse comes to worse

The Ninja is obvious, and the Janitor stirs paranoia within town was the objective.

I ran the balance with Disc and Drafter, and both were OK with the balance

Behavior:

BearMan, skittlez, Croc: BearMan can fuck off and cry all he wants. skittlez and Croc need better reads in general. Just jumping on bandwagons

Pie and Ragnar: Fuck off

Chris and That1: You guys played well, especially Chris. Had some good analysis and really liked his reads

Greyparrot: Idek im pissed but you can live your life. claiming sasuke was dangerous

Speedrace: Should've claimed the variant IMO to try to lever off pressure, but I understand why. 

Pattern/Luna:  You had some good points overall about laziness and bandwagoning, but I think emotions somewhat clouded judgement

Town MVP is Chris. For his first time, he played really  well

Mafia MVP is no one

Good evening,
To all of you tuning in and participating in the political process, God bless you.

This isn't how I pictured tonight, but our country is experiencing something none of us envisioned.
From a global pandemic, to the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, 2020 has tested our nation in ways we haven't seen for decades.

But regardless of the challenges presented to us...every four years...Americans come together to vote...To share stories of what makes our nation strong, and the lessons we have learned that can strengthen it further for our children and grandchildren.
Because while this election is between Donald Trump and Joe Biden...it is not solely about Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

It's about the promise of America. It's about you and me...our challenges and heartbreaks, hopes and dreams.
It's about how we respond when tackling critical issues like police reform...when Democrats called our work a token effort, and walked out of the room during negotiations because they wanted the ISSUE more than they wanted a solution.

Do we want a society that breeds success, or a culture that cancels everything it even slightly disagrees with?
I know where I stand, because you see, I am living my mother's American Dream.

My parents divorced when I was 7 years old. We lived in a two bedroom house with my grandparents...me, my mom and my brother sharing a room and a bed. My mom worked 16 hours a day to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads.

She knew that if we could find the opportunity, bigger things would come.

I thought I had to use football to succeed in life...and my focus on academics faded away. I failed my freshman year of high school -- four subjects...Spanish, English, world geography, and civics.

Trust me, after spending 7 years in the Senate, I know I'm not the only one in Congress who failed civics.

But even while I was failing the 9th grade... my mother always said, "when you shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you will be among the stars." She never lost faith in me, even when I lost faith in myself. Because of her encouragement, I went to summer school and caught up.
The next year I met my mentor, John Moniz...a Chick Fil-a operator. John saw something in me that I could not see in myself, and started teaching me valuable lessons in life...

Like, having a job was a good thing, but creating jobs would be better. That having an income could change my lifestyle, but creating a profit could change my community!

He planted the seeds of what would become Opportunity Zones -- this initiative the President and I worked together on is bringing over 75 billion dollars of private sector investment into distressed communities.
I took those lessons to heart...and started putting the pieces of my life together. I realized a quality education is the closest thing we have to magic in America.

That's why I fight to this day for school choice...to make sure every child, in every neighborhood has a quality education.

I don't care if it's a public, private, charter, virtual or home school.

When a parent has a choice, their kid has a better chance. And the President has fought alongside me on that.

Later in life, I started my own successful small business. That's why I know it is critical for us to have a tax code that encourages growth.

We actually saw revenues to the Treasury increase after we lowered taxes in 2017. Rest assured, Democrats do not want you to know that!

After starting my business and spending time in local government, I ran for Congress in 2010. The district is based in Charleston, South Carolina...where the Civil War started...against a son of our legendary Senator, Strom Thurmond.

You may be asking yourself how does a poor black kid...from a single parent household...run and win a race in a crowded Republican primary against a Thurmond?
Because of the evolution of the heart, in an overwhelmingly white district... the voters judged me on the content of my character, not the color of my skin.

We live in a world that only wants you to believe in the bad news... racially, economically and culturally-polarizing news.

The truth is, our nation's arc always bends back towards fairness. We are not fully where we want to be...but thank God we are not where we used to be!

We are always striving to be better...When we stumble, and we will, we pick ourselves back up and try again.

We don't give into cancel-culture, or the radical -- and factually baseless -- belief that things are worse today than in the 1860s or the 1960s.

We have work to do...but I believe in the goodness of America...the promise that all men, and all women are created equal.

And if you're watching tonight, I'm betting you do, too.
Over the past four years, we have made tremendous progress towards that promise.

President Trump built the most inclusive economy ever. 7 million jobs created pre-COVID-19, two thirds of which went to women, African-Americans and Hispanics.

The first new, major effort to tackle poverty in a generation -- Opportunity Zones. We put hard earned tax dollars back in people's pockets by cutting their taxes, especially for single parent households like the one I grew up in - cutting single mother's taxes 70% on average.

President Trump supported these tax cuts for those single moms, and other working families, and signed these policies into law...and our nation is better off for it.

So, I'm going to ask you...the American people...not to look simply at what the candidates say...but to look back at what they've done.

This election is about your future, and it's critical to paint a full picture of the records of Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

Joe Biden said if a black man didn't vote for him, he wasn't truly black.
Joe Biden said black people are a monolithic community.
Joe Biden said poor kids can be just as smart as white kids.

And while his words are one thing, his actions take it to a whole new level.

In 1994, Biden led the charge on a crime bill that put millions of black Americans behind bars...

President Trump's criminal justice reform law fixed many of the disparities Biden created and made our system more fair and just for all Americans.

Joe Biden failed our nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities... heaping blame on them as they fought to ensure our young folks had access to higher education.

Once again, to clean up Joe Biden's mess, President Trump signed into law historically high funding for HBCUs, as well as a bill to give them permanent funding for the first time ever!

And now, Joe Biden wants to come for your pocketbooks.... Unless you're a blue state millionaire.

I'm serious -- that's one of their solutions for the pandemic. They want more money you're your pocket...going to help Manhattan elites and Hollywood moguls get a tax break.

Republicans, however, passed President Trump's once-in-a-generation tax reform bill that lowered taxes for single moms, working families and those in need.

So, when it comes to what Joe Biden says he'll do...Look at his actions. Look at his policies. Look at what he already did and did not do while he's been in Washington for 47 years.

Ladies and gentlemen, people don't always see those failures, because they think we're having a policy debate on two sides of an issue.

That is not what is happening. Our side is working on policy -- while Joe Biden's radical Democrats are trying to permanently transform what it means to be an American.

Make no mistake: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want a cultural revolution. A fundamentally different America.
If we let them...they will turn our country into a socialist utopia...and history has taught us that path only leads to pain and misery, especially for hard-working people hoping to rise.

Instead, we must focus on the promise of the American journey. I know that journey well.

My grandfather's 99th birthday would have been tomorrow. Growing up, he had to cross the street if a white person was coming. He suffered the indignity of being forced out of school as a third grader to pick cotton, and never learned to read or write.

Yet, he lived to see his grandson become the first African American to be elected to both the United States House and Senate.

Our family went from Cotton to Congress in one lifetime. And that's why I believe the next American century can be better than the last.

There are millions of families like mine across this nation...full of potential seeking to live the American Dream.

And I'm here tonight to tell you that supporting the Republican ticket gives you the best chance of making that dream a reality.

God Bless you, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.

Note: Ragnar has elected me to post the announcement for the Hall of Fame that is upcoming, it is a message approved by him

Greetings DebateArt!

I just wanted to update everyone on the approaching DART Hall of Fame induction process. This process will unfold in two stages, and will take one week to complete.

On or about the 27th of August, one of the mods will post a thread soliciting nominations from the usership in each of the three award categories (users, debates, and threads). Any user will be able to submit up to three nominees in each category for a maximum of 9 nominations per user. Nominators may choose to nominate less than the maximum number if they choose. The nominating window will close on or about the 30th of August. The nominees with the most nominations (approx. 4-6 per category) will advance to the second stage of the process. There are no formal criteria for determining who/what can be nominated; however, if I conclude that a nomination is wholly and blatantly incongruous with the purpose of the HOF (that purpose being to highlight good, notable, and/or consequential inductees), the moderators reserve the right to withhold forwarding that nomination to the second stage of the process.

On or about the 31st of August, the moderators will post a thread soliciting votes from the usership on the finalist nominees in each of the three award categories (users, debates, and threads). Any user will be able to vote for up to three nominees in each category for a maximum of 9 votes per user. Voters may choose to vote less than the maximum number if they choose. The voting window will close on or about the 3rd of September. Those nominees with the most votes (3 per category) will be inducted into the DART Hall of Fame. In the event of a tie preventing exactly 3 inductions per category, the voting window will be extended for just those nominees who/which are tied. Those inducted will be formally honored with entries in the Hall of Fame thread. Those entries will be posted within 2 months of the voting period closing.

There are no prerequisites or eligibility requirements for users to participate in the Hall of Fame nominating or voting processes, except that they have an account on DART and are not voting/nominating from more than one account. Importantly, coordinating votes or severe spamming of votes is prohibited. This will result in all votes that were deemed as spam nullified. You may argue with people on their choice if warranted, but mass campaigning is prohibited. Private PM's with groupchats is prohibited. This process is about awarding those with merit or importance, and not about awarding those who can cajole the most voters. Also, more exact start and end times will be made clear in the threads in question, to ensure there is no ambiguity as to when the processes begin and conclude. Please be sure to check these times

We are also adding one more category to the HoF! This is a Miscellaneous category. This can be for one post, a vote, a comment that is notable for the Hall of Fame. This will not have the same rules apply to it as other categories have, and you are allowed to do as much campaigning for this category as you would like in general without restriction.  

I am posting this update now to (a) brief you on the process, (b) give notice about the restrictions placed on campaigning and vote coordinating/rigging, and (c) give you time to consider who/what you would like to nominate, come August 27th. Hopefully this update has been informative. Thank you!

But aren't most of the protests peaceful? You would have nothing to worry about at all? So why do you do this? Or maybe it's cause you admit that you have lost control in the city you were elected to run, have not used enough force to get rid of the looters and rioters, and have failed your city. She is a selfish mayor running my beautiful city. If she wins re election, I will be shocked

My goal is to have an active and engaging mafia community on this site. I want new players to feel welcomed on the site when they play mafia. Mafia is a fun experience and we want more people to come and develop into great mafia players and form a strong community. With mafia, I believe we can grow people interested. Therefore, I am running a program that allows new players who are new to mafia to go and play. This is a game for BEGINNERS ONLY (5 games or less). This program is called “School of Mafia.” It will work as a school environment, where there are tutors and students. This will hopefully grasp basic knowledge of the game so these players can play actually mafia games without being.

If you want to learn how to play mafia, connect with more people, this is game to do so. This game will be hosted in the forum games section as well

(I’m putting this in DART so it can garner attention)

How this will be setup:

Each player will be assigned someone who has experience playing mafia to guide them
(mafia has 1 person total guiding them as a team)

The tutors will not be able to reveal information from the PM’s to others

There will be 2 games, a themeless game, and a themed game

Sign up if interested:

DART has existed for 2 years in 2 days, leaving the website to be 2 years old! Happy Birthday! The site has gone through a plethora of changes since it's assumption. The site was used as a rescue ship for debaters on DDO to come on and try to revitalize the spirit that DDO once brung. This was initial the emergency hideout until DDO recovered from the nightmare it is now. In 2020, the dawn of a new decade, the site has formed it's own community of former NON-DDO members, to former DDO members, etc. I have existed on this site for nearly 2 years, and I have seen the changes this site has brung. Let's start

The Transition of Power
In the fall of 2019, former chief mod bsh1 resigned. This brang on a new era of moderation, one hopeful for a bright future, as Virtuoso took the reigns 

Formation of Uniqueness
In the Winter--->Spring, DART started to become it's own unique site. It wanted to go away from the classic DDO look, and form a new look with the website. This process took awhile, but is now effective in the site as major design changes have occurred. 

In the 2 years I've been around, I've seen this site change and develop. So, with that mind, cheers to 2 years!

Liberals are willing to destroy upcoming seniors livelihood for their own personal gain. They are willing to destroy the future of your children to elect someone who will delay the containment of Coronavirus. Liberals want to lockdown and force people into their homes so they can do mail in ballots. Meanwhile Trump's goal is to reopen, and is doing everything to re open. Dems have no want to re open

His album is so quality in my opinion. It’s so good. He is officially one of my favorite artists. He isn’t widely known now, but when he becomes big in 4yrs, please come back to this post and tell me how right I was

Dear Family of DART

I've been suspiciously quiet about a lot about my music projects that I've been working on. This is for the followings reasons

1) Most people on the site do not like the type of music that I enjoy making. There is a fear factor to play when announcing something that most people do not like
2) I am still learning about everything, so I am still new to mixxing, and writting, and autotune. I wan't to get better at this

So with this, I have a couple of announcements to make. My first ever project called "Before I Move On" is officially out on streaming platforms of SoundCloud and YouTube and is coming soon to Spotify and Apple Music. This YouTube Channel I have set up takes you to my links to everywhere I post music on. 
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBWM1ML9bkrzcWKfu6dbNQQ?view_as=subscriber

Also, my first ever single, Townsboy, is out on every streaming service. You can find the links to that with the channel

While I know a lot of people may not like the style. A sub, a follow, and a stream goes a long way into helping me. If you want to support, go ahead. I'm new to creating sons, and this is a step into a potentially bright future

Regards, SupaDudz

Apparently Naruto, an anime has gotten a lot of attention recently. I’m not gonna boost my own horn but I was the first one with the pic *cough*

Well I’ll give my story on how I got into it. Friends were watching but and started the series Mid April. I finished the first part in May and finished Shippuden early July.

I’m watching Boruto right now, but I’m not a fan of it. I love this show. I genuinely enjoy the characters and the plot with some cool villains. I only have 1 character I genuinely dislike

I’ll go over my favorites. I’m excluding Naruto 

Sasuke
Hinata
Itachi
Shikamaru
Danzo
Rock Lee
Gaara
Kakashi
Minato
—————-
I dislike Ino the most

Since Warren did this. I might as well start with mine. The same rules apply with Warren’s.
The Rules
I will provide eight categories of songs. You have to select a song you think I might like that fits with each theme and submit it via PM (Discord works too). I will score each of your songs on a scale of 1-10. I'll make all scores public at the end and whoever has the highest score wins! Deadline will be July 7,  and I'll update with a list of people who have submitted as they come in.

Here is our the categories

1. Song about a certain color
2. Song that starts with the letter J
3. Song that references any anime in the lyric
4. A song from the 80s
5. A song where the feature is better than the original artist
6. A song with over 1B views on YouTube
7. A song used in any video game
8. Song by an artist who performed in 2015
