Debby contributes nothing outside from being a spamming shit-poster, but I usually just ignore them, so they don't bother me. I don't see the need for a ban, but if their comments violate site rules.
Perhaps temporary forum restrictions are in place preceding a permanent ban if the community cannot decide?
Just out of interest, how old are you Mikal?
Rarely here from you in the forum, so I don't see why AI derived information irks you so much.
You are misunderstanding.
The mods were scrutinized on DART for banning certain people or not banning certain people.
Mihkal runs the discord and has helped build the new website and is the one defending Debby.
You're being given the privilege that was not afforded to users in the past, which is the option to vote. This is honoring the principle of a democracy-focused community.
To each his own.
Nah, I'm not reading all that.
You're free to believe all that.
My offer still stands if you want my elo.
48 laws of power has it backwards. Seducing those in power isnt as effective as seducing those who placed them there, or upon which their power depends. this is why being popular among masses is more important than being good with ruler. Ruler is controlled by masses, as masses are more powerful than ruler and generally can overthrow him easily.
Two laws in that book address this. Playing the perfect courtier and do not outshine the master.
The courtier is often described as having more soft power than the ruler because he has the approval of the people. And while the first law is very strict about not competing with a ruler or superior, the reversal which is the exception states that you may usurp a weak ruler.
Suffering is a natural part of human life.
There was a quote, but I forgot who it was from, "Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one." Which was particularly profound in its meaning and application.
Optimism is acceptable, but it has the potential to do more harm than good. Same with pessimism. (I know cynicism is the more common word, but it has a different meaning. Using it in this context would be misusing the word.)
Machiavelli was an underdog for the most part. Greene seems to have the edge, but they are both still theoretical and anecdotal.
Cialdini's work remains the most practical.
Teamwork makes the dream work
I'm in
I suspect that you have the grudge towards me.
And that's perfectly okay, but I've moved on from our bad blood. So should you.
It's not healthy for you to carry this hate and rage.
I'm not a fan of grudge-voting or vote retaliation, period. I didn't even approve of how those people vote-bombed you back on DART, even though I should have done more to stop it.
That being said, you are entitled to my elo. How about we do seven rated debates and I forfeit? If Savant and the mods give their consent, I am more than okay with this.
Drinking in moderation is perfectly acceptable.
But please be careful. Because in your case, it doesn't take much liquor for you specifically to get tipsy or drunk.
Therefore, eat well, drink safely, and toast to a great 2026.
Symbolic branding.
Narratively, the name belongs to a legend. Despite whatever flaws the character has, it is hard not to romanticize him or see him through rose-tinted glasses.
The association of the name, what it represents for me personally cannot be verbalized. But this is the closest I come to it.
I'm a big fan of the use of archetypes.
Doesn't matter.
You were still in the wrong, but you didn't like that I pointed it out.
My lecture on sportsmanship and professionalism applies to myself too.
Even moreso
But following that advice also requires me to hold people accountable when they make mistakes.
For about 1 lb (450 g) dry pasta (elbows or cavatappi):
A lot of people are going to dismiss the AI recipes, but in reality, they're pretty useful. It's no different than googling.
You have to be sympathetic. And patient.
Especially patient.
All of this behavior is unprofessional and not very sportsmanlike.
Why are you in such a hurry? How are you speeding things up by forcing people out of the tournament?
Come up with ideas for me.
So for topics, I will give a list of suggestions. You choose the option and we narrow it down from there.:
GreatfulGoy has no official authority or leverage in this tournament. If his words did not come from or were not approved by Savant or the decision-makers in the tourney, then he has no say.
He is a participant, same as you and me.
Do not drop out.
Stay, take your time, and follow Savant's instructions when you get the chance.
How are winners announced in The Ultrarated Tournaments?
What are the rewards?
My participation is just for fun, and these answers do not affect what I do in the tournament. But I am curious, especially considering this tournament is described as different from ordinary tournaments.
Sure. We can apply these correlation stereotypes
But high-iq people are also rumored to become delusional and have a wilder imagination
What’s our topic?
I can start a new debate anytime, but I have to know the topic first.
Yippieee!
I am ready.
Is it possible for the current participants start the second round prematurely while we wait for the remaining 3?
The way it's setup, the outcome still guarantees the remaining 3 will catch up.
I'm in.
Ahh. So you're protestant?
Fair enough.
Focus only on strength-training and GTG work-outs. Especially GTG
With a high-protein, low carb diet.
