I only brought up Christadelphians so domer would consider that choosing this particular tauromancy question as his cheating linchpin is actually arbitrary.

You're not going to be able to police everyone in an online trivia contest. Thats the main reason I said trying to catch cheaters is pointless and just leads to unhappiness.

There's still a little matter to be settled over a sheep league. WSOS is over.

Maybe I'm crazy. I'm really bad at trivia but I tend to just free associate whatever my brain thinks relates to the prompt and hope for the best, which I assume almost everyone does. Then there are people who remember everything for whom trivia is actually a skill.

If you're one of the former, aren't tarot cards / tauromancy / cold reading pretty easy to ignorantly relate?

I am troubled by the idea that master is, of course, (1) good at trivia and (2) not ignorant about tarot stuff.

[8/4/2014 1:55:09 PM] Xnerd: the slash and burn part of me says yes, the just want to be happy part of me says no
[8/4/2014 1:56:07 PM] Xnerd: maybe it would prevent cheating in the future but really... probably not

[8/6/2014 8:45:18 PM] Xnerd: i still think it might be a bad idea though
[8/6/2014 8:45:20 PM] Xnerd: fwiw
[8/6/2014 8:45:36 PM] Xnerd: its obv mega tempting for trainwrecking purposes
[8/6/2014 8:45:46 PM] Xnerd: but still probably maybe bad


So whaddya say! Will this prevent cheating in the future guys??

Spoiler:
Probs not
This has got to be false.

I'm still trying to figure out how things are going to work with that.

See how things are going here right now? Yeah... I don't wanna have to deal with it as a game mod myself, so it might be a hot minute before I come up with a solution for it all.

The specific information I remember was Noah telling the guys that the word is used in all "psychic" cold reading not just tarot

Anyway, do whatever the TRIVIA COMMUNITY thinks is best, don't get banned.

I sent you a personal invitation to play the sheep league. You rejected it for someone unknown reason, probably because you hate playing sheep

Why are you "stirring up trouble"? Are you "bored"?

Would you like to join us in finishing up sheep league? My invitation is still open and extended, even to someone as nasty as you! <33

do you keep saying TRIVIA COMMUNITY because you know there isn't really one?

Funny choice of words because Tauromancy is well known in the skeptic world. I've seen it numerous times on the James randi forums, and Noah Lusions the host of The Scathing Atheist, has used the term when talking about how he used to be a former tarot reader for pay.
seems to lend some support to the whole taromancy angle actually

nothing in that paragraphs makes any sense, which is how you know he is just making **** up to cover his ass

-its not well known
-its not discussed on the james randi forum, except 4 super obscure times a decade ago
-if that podcast exists at all, its unlikely the person was using "tauromancy" or "taromancy" to mean cold reading which is a completely different thing where the earlier referenced woman was trying to trick people with her own take on Tarot.

he also claimed there were more podcasts where tauromancy being cold reading was discussed. more sh*tthatdidnthappen.txt

transparent lying. obvious wolf.

at this point i am annoying myself so i am going to stop

let us see the thought process as to how you arrived at tauromancy having essentially two meanings
08-07-2014 , 04:48 PM
tauromancy is obviously just divination using a bull

those answering bullfighting - cheaters
those answering cold reading/Tarot - cheaters.

Ban them all and cancel the games
