My iq was over 160 when last tested but probably sits around 148 now. But that's neither here nor there, since IQ tests are inherently weighted towards 1st world western countries and do not test actual intelligence, but rather western precepts of certain types of intelligence. Consider that an IQ tests doesn't have a "reconstruct an engine" segment on it, yet this would certainly be a type of intelligence. IQ tests are a joke as a measure of intelligence, though they can be useful diagnostically for certain learning disabilities (though once again this often fails to encapsulate them since savant syndrome is quite real and should but fails to augment the score; i.e., a savant in physics who is handicapped in math will return an iq od maybe 60, when his physics iq could be well over 180)
The concept of IQ (Internet Quizzes, mostly Buzzfeed) is highly flawed. It does not measure intelligence at all and if anything makes you stuck up for even thinking you're more intelligent than everyone else.
With these facts out, an argument against bleeder as the most over-powered role would have to support a role of an absolute opposite, some sort of role that would kill mass amounts of people. However, any role that is offensively over-powered cannot beat bleeder, thus exhibiting that in this case, defense would beat offense, and bleeder beats all.
Thank you for hearing my case. I look forward to discussing possible questions or counterarguments to my analysis of the most over-powered role in EpicMafia.
Hello, my name is Shwartz99. I'd like to discuss why bleeder is in fact the most op role in EpicMafia. Now, listening to many low-IQ individuals denounce this magnificent role, you might even dismiss my assertion right away. However, we are all intellectuals here so I am sure the following words I have to say will not be wasted on this audience.
Bleeder, a role now 82 months old on this site, is hardly ever used outside of our magnificent lobby. The premise is simple: The bleeder will bleed out after one day/night cycle after they are targetted (Source). Perhaps it is because of its similarity to bulletproof that it is not very popular in Main; in any case a delayed death does not mean much in some circumstances. For example, even if a town lynches mafia in a lynch or lose situation with bleeder bleeding, the game is already over as the bleeder will bleed out. On the other hand, if the mafia hits a bulletproof, the game will not be in autoloss for the town.
But, it is not the delayed death that is the most over-powered part of this role. It is the invincibility to absolutely everything. There is simply no other role that can survive everything at all times. Werewolf, angel, and monk saves? Only allow invincibility during the day. Ghoul? Contrary to possible belief, if targetted twice during the night, they will die. Tree? Lucid has added a litany of roles that can kill them. To reiterate, there is no role that can survive anything. Regular hits, poisons, guns, knives, lynches, voodoo and diab kills, arsonist, bombs, famine: the list goes on and on. And in a game like the closed role setups we play in Sandbox, you know you're going to find some odd ways to kill people. Perhaps the bleeder's most useful and unique function is surviving famine, where it becomes an facile town advantage 3 cycles after the baker's death.
Also something I notice about the typical Avant-Garde modern writings:
Several authors use psychological unconditioning to Avant-Garde situations in stories by setting it in the future which is more volatile and changeable than that of the present or the past. So they discondition the readers by saying that even a semi-realistic story is different and hip because "it is in the future and so you cannot understand it as well as you wish".
If there is an all-powerful and all-knowing God, they would know my future, which means that I wouldn't live in free will, and everything that will ever happen is predetermined.
I like to think that I can choose my own actions in a situation thank you very much.
