Is there any reason you're unable to answer the questionnaire, Eye? Question 3 has been revised:
"With sufficient technology can all low scope low testability questions be made testable?"
Bruce: Terry. I've been thinking about something you once told me... and you were wrong. It's not Batman that makes you worthwhile; it's the other way around. Never tell yourself anything different.
Terry: ...Thanks.

I'm not voting this because I very much sympathize with the bolded.

I don't know if serious or sarcasm but I will assume sarcasm so that I won't have negative feelings towards you for the rest of the game.

In post 2395, Eyes without a face wrote:OK, mod says I can still play. No harm done. the thing is I was skimming hard and couldn't grasp a thing. I didn't even realize Math had claimed a mason until someone asked him why he outed. Also I missed Nero's hood claim until someone asked him the same. I suspect there's plenty of such details that I have missed and I didn't think that was fair for town collectively.

Today looks better (only 10 more pages) so I guess I can try to read those and then see if there are references to previous posts to check them or just keep on reading from here and ignore everything that happened before until someone makes a mention of it.
Happy to answer any catch up Qs you have. As long as you know the mainpoints, you should be able to get back in the game fine

no, I said I'd hammer. You still aren't reading my posts.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Check this youtube channel and pay special attention to Dr Sean Carroll's lectures maybe.

Well, he's quoting a VC from and I self voted in so unless he's reading backwards shouldn't he already know?

Wait! Ascetic + Vig + 2 Masons = 4 PRs, or are you making special notice of your read on VP to exclude him from the outed "T"PRs?

Yes there is and it's quite simple. It's this shit that I play mafia to get away from. Mafia is a less tense activity that I do for fun to try and rest my brain from that precise type of science (and no I am not a student per say but I am interested in trying to understand these kinds of theories)

not really. He claimed willingly and claiming ascetic is the correct play. The question is is he a town asetic, a scum asetic, or scum fake claiming ascetic. The 2 mason claims and the "vig" claim were outted via run up and there is a difference between willingly outting and getting ran up and outting your pr to stay alive.

And even if I was so what? He's prob scum anyways.

Well if
you

because I couldn't keep up
. That means I didn't read properly back than and I came back and decided to read the new posts only unless there was a reference to the old ones.

But thank you for linking 2048 for me. I understand it now.
