2020 Election Thread

edited November 2020 in Social Entropy++
So Twitch streamers Pokimane and Hasanabi managed to get a game of Among Us* set up with Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar. At one point, they were both imposters, and Hasanabi uploaded the video of the match:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_2XQEP2dro

Here's a link the Part 1 of the full stream (just under 3 hours): https://youtube.com/watch?v=czMOiQhWUY4

*
Among Us is a Mafia-style game where up to 10 players play as a part of a space crew sent to a location, each with a set of tasks to complete. But two of the players are secretly Imposters, whose job instead is to sabotage the mission and kill the crew. Like Mafia, the Imposters know who each other are, and the crew don't know who the Imposters are. When a dead body is found (or an emergency meeting is called), the crew deliberate and decide who, if anybody, is definitely an Imposter, and if the majority of votes cast in a round are cast for a given player, that player is "Voted Out" (killed). One neat thing added is that dead players become Ghosts and can continue to do tasks, so even dead players can continue to help. If the crew all finish their tasks before the Imposters kill them all, they win. If the Imposters manage to get to where half the surviving crew are Imposters, they win.

    I no longer think the thread is spam from the title, so yes.

    Edit: Anyways the stream was pretty funny, if you like Among Us it's probably worth a watch

    I've been really enjoying Among Us, with the specific caveat that if I get murdered and finish my tasks, there's nothing for me to do, and I'm so laser-focused on tasks I usually get them all done super quickly

    uh is this an Among Us thread or a catchall election politics thread

    if it's politics then it's good to point there were over half a million viewers, making it most likely the largest GOTV rally this year

    I played one round of Among Us on my phone.

    I was swiftly voted out because someone said they saw me “vent” which I didn’t even know how to do.

    The I watched them vote off everybody except for the imposter until we lost.

    Considering all he said was, "please go vote." He specifically did not say who to vote for yet he was still getting hate messages and he very clearly told them where they could put those messages.

    Also the hilarity of the round where he figured out it was AOC and Omar as the imposters and he was super nervous calling them out on it.

    Among Us is terrible with randos and terrible without voice chat.

    Oh neat, I didn't know you could check the status of a mail in ballot. Mine has also been verified by the registrar.

    For those in California, here's the link to check:

    Well, probably, but I left it at home and I'm out of town until Sunday.

    I live in Pennsylvania, so I have it to the post office and post marked by November 3

    But I'll get it mailed Sunday afternoon

    Regardless, might still be best to see if there's a place you can drop it off in a ballot box early next week. I'm still being paranoid about mail.

    I want that sticker for my laptop. If it weren't for the hair, it is subtle enough that I could legit display it at work in the far future and not piss off my conservative coworkers!

    In 2001 some highschool friends and i organized a 50 person lan in our small hometown at our convention center. It was amazing. My 9 year old brother owned everyone at counterstrike. Folks were amazed.

    I mailed in my voter registration admittedly a bit close to the deadline but definitely still postmarked before it

    Nearly 3 weeks later I'm still not showing up as a registered voter so, that's fun
