I will list some major problems I think the SK has.

If there is an SK in the game, Town has too little influence on which people die. In a day-nightcycle, only one in three deaths will be caused by Town voting, which I find too few. Moreover, I think that the SK has too much influence. If he never targets Mafia, it becomes almost impossible for Town to win, and if the kills Mafia, Town can win without them having actually correctly spotted Mafia. This takes away many of the fun strategic aspects of the game. The best strategy for each individual player becomes to play in such a way to not get nighkilled, while this game should be about other things. Also, I din't think it is fun to hunt for the SK at all, or to play SK. Mafia can strategize with each other, the SK can't. Town can catch Mafia by discovering the way they work together, but the SK can't be caught in such a way.

All in all, I think the addition of the SK makes for a dumber game.

Do Republicans think that reason is good or bad?
There seems to be debate on the right about whether reason is to be trusted or not. (The left is uniformly suspicious of spurrious argument). I'm seeing Republican lawmakers being skeptical about using reason but rightwing media seems fine with it

Webdip Conservatives have convinced me my world view is flawed.
I have decided to become a Republican and a Libertarian because the arguments made on this forum have convinced me the Democrat party is no better than the pro-slavery radicals of the 1860's. I have learned that tax cuts for the wealthy, deportations, and putting business and moneymaking ahead of health of US citizenry is paramount

Given the Don Jr. revelations, this might seem like a bleak time for the Republicans, but if they can wait out the media coverage without breaking rank they will be have saved Trump. There is no larger shoe yet to drop and it will be morning in America again.
