Ah bummer, Bunny got to it first. I can’t recommend the dark mode version enough though.

Random FACT

The probability that no Mafia member's name beigns with B is 3/52.

We should therefore confine ourselves to voting among the Bs.
This is a false fact
I can’t figure out what you did to get your answer

I'd recommend just declaring bankruptcy and starting to read from where we are now rather than burden yourself with catching up.

Shouldn’t you want him catching up and giving coherent thoughts if you’re voting him :?

We can.

That would make sense, though we have 25 hours left, so I wouldn’t panic yet.

And I also don't want Vig to shoot a lurker, there is no reason for Vig to shoot on D1.
If the vig shoots brain, Eden, or TFB, we'll have like 24000 less words to read
so just to point out at the time this post was made, bona is leading post totals at over 130, and is keeping pace at nearly 30 more posts than me or eden.

after myself and eden, there are 4 other players with more posts than flying boat. one of which is you, chaqa with more posts by 1 than flying boat.

if its words per posts flying boat is well below at least 9-12 other players. if its characters per post hes well below even BK and many others.

so of all the things you said here, accusing flying boat of posting too much or spamming is very indicative of you not reading the thread, and not looking at the bot whatsoever and generally not paying attention.
Or is it indicative of you not having played with his giant walls of text before?

The first evidence we have of zero is from the Sumerian culture in Mesopotamia, some 5,000 years ago. There, a slanted double wedge was inserted between cuneiform symbols for numbers, written positionally, to indicate the absence of a number in a place (as we would write 102, the '0' indicating no digit in the tens column).
The symbol changed over time as positional notation (for which zero was crucial), made its way to the Babylonian empire and from there to India, via the Greeks (in whose own culture zero made a late and only occasional appearance; the Romans had no trace of it at all). Arab merchants brought the zero they found in India to the West. After many adventures and much opposition, the symbol we use was accepted and the concept flourished, as zero took on much more than a positional meaning. Since then, it has played avital role in mathematizing the world.
The mathematical zero and the philosophical notion of nothingness are related but are not the same. Nothingness plays a central role very early on in Indian thought (there called sunya), and we find speculation in virtually all cosmogonical myths about what must have preceded the world's creation. So in the Bible's book of Genesis (1:2): "And the earth was without form, and void."
Our own era's physical theories about the big bang cannot quite reach back to an ultimate beginning from nothing--although in mathematics we can generate all numbers from the empty set. Nothingness as the state out of which alone we can freely make our own natures lies at the heart of existentialism, which flourished in the mid-20th century.

flying boat is typing with a smile. there is no fear in that reply. because if there was I would have to wonder if they were 7 years old tonally speaking
I am actually 6 1/2, tyvm. I do turn 6 3/4 in a couple weeks though!
