Besides spelling reform, another passion of Melvil Dewey's which wasn't adopted by the United States was the Metric System.
"I ... decided that the world needed just one measure for length, one for capacity, and one for weight, and that they should all be in simple decimals like our money. I was puzzling over the names to give the new measures when I read that John A. Kasson of Iowa had passed in Congress a bill legalizing the metric system. I looked it up at once, found that it met my plan ideally and the next week went to our village lyceum and gave a talk on the great merit of international weights and measures. From that day I became a metric apostle.” -- http://independent.academia.edu/DeweyDownload

Flay, let's talk a bit, shall we? What's your favourite alignment: Mafia, Town, or some obscure third party?

Ingrid, buck up and be less useless.
Gorckat, if the only reason you want to PL tip is that he's hard to read, that's bad and you should feel bad.

I feel a little bad because I like TIP the person.
I just don't like TIP the player because his posting is nonsensical. I mean, sure, it's just a game, have fun, but there's ways to do that without making yourself hard to read.
Has TIP shown himself to be good at finding scum?
If he has, then the policy idea is basically nullified (he is worth keeping around to see how he helps).
If he hasn't, then we need to know if he is a governor. He never said 'I can't claim / I'm not allowed to claim'...he made a joke with Darox about being in danger and unable to claim.
I don't relish the TIP I've played with nullifying a lynch.

Voting him for his claim shenanigans is something else entirely.

I am definitely good at finding scum. Refer to Rarefaction where I almost single handedly caught scum and got killed N1 because of it. If I say so myself, I work wonders at LyLo.

This policy lynch talk is kind of dumb, nobody is getting policy lynched, even if tip probably deserves it.

You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong it is.
Where's that read list btw?
Top 3 scum and why
Also explain how you can imply moza's slot was scummy if you only mebtioned him once all game.
Thanks.
well for starters you keep trying to discredit my vote on you with stuff like this

how is speaking the truth trying to discredit you? You voted him without a reason and never mentioned his name again until after he was replaced out. You never once questioned him for these things that you say he did that you find scummy, instead you bring it up now AFTER he is gone and somehow want me to defend his actions?
I can't defend his actions, nor will I.
Moza was calling Darox scum, that is the same person YOU were calling scum. Why is moza scum for his push on Darox if you agreed that Darox was scum? Unless you think Darox and moza are buddies and they are bussing, your suspicion on moza for that is weird.
Thinking a person is scum for being in favor of a policy lynch is also kind of stupid, but whatever floats your boat.

oh ok
well in the off chance he meant Jake, I can't give you a list of 3 scum but I can give you a list of 1. I haven't fully read the game, was planning on it tonight but scum landed in my lap so not really motivated anymore plus what a horrible way to spend a friday when I could be watching porn and fapping
