How often do you think about the singularity nmaGane?
I would post edited pics of jones from my archive (bowtie added) but I don't want anybody to start crying about user behavior.
Just think about that though. They would be kinda funny.
You can drivate message me those tributes

The Inefficiency of Multi-User Account Sharing
Young Sheldon (Y.S.): Adult Sheldon, I have identified a significant, and frankly, appalling, breach of forum ethics in the current Mafia game. It appears Leonard, Howard, and Kripke are multi-user-ing a single account, "TheAlphaNerdist." This violates the principle of individual accountability!
Old Sheldon (O.S.): (Sighs while eating a bowl of cold cereal) Ah, the "hive-mind" strategy. They tried that back in the '08 game. It's not a breach of ethics, Young Sheldon, it's a breach of optimal game theory. Their collective voice becomes a confusing, contradictory mess, a strategic liability, not an asset. Bazinga!
Y.S.: But they are pooling their disparate intellectual resources! Leonard brings his experimental psychology perspective, Howard his engineering mindset, and Kripke... well, Kripke is an irritant, but even an irritant can distract the Town. Their combined analysis is geometrically more complex to deconstruct!
O.S.: (Waving his spoon dismissively) On the contrary. Their output is the equivalent of a single, highly caffeinated person with three distinct personality disorders. I've already deduced their rotational posting schedule. Leonard posts during prime research hours (10 AM to 3 PM). Howard posts late at night with unnecessary pop culture references. And Kripke only posts when he wants to sound menacing, which usually involves capitalizing every word. Bazinga!
Y.S.: (Pacing) So you're suggesting their collective incompetence actually simplifies the problem for an astute observer? But what if one of them is Mafia and the others are Town? It provides perfect, irrefutable alibi fodder! "It wasn't me, it was Leonard posting!"
O.S.: That's their flaw! A single account must maintain a consistent psychological profile to be trusted. Their account, "TheAlphaNerdist," shifts from a passive-aggressive attempt at conciliation (Leonard) to aggressive, joke-laden accusations (Howard) within minutes. It screams dishonesty whether they are Town or Mafia. They're playing against themselves! Bazinga!
Y.S.: Hmm. So the optimal strategy for a multi-user account would be for all users to rigorously adhere to a single, manufactured personality—perhaps a friendly, slightly dense persona no one would suspect.
O.S.: Precisely. They should have had Raj run the account. His selective mutism would have provided a consistent lack of contribution, making him the perfect neutral scapegoat. Instead, they’ve created a three-headed dragon that can't decide which head to use to breathe fire. It's amateur hour. Bazinga!
Y.S.: I suppose you're right. Their poor execution makes it statistically easier to eliminate them. I will adjust my elimination matrix to account for the coefficient of personality dissonance. Thank you for clarifying the inefficiency.
O.S.: Anytime, Young Sheldon. Now, watch this. I'm going to post a seven-paragraph analysis using only obscure classical literature references. That will confuse them for at least an hour. Bazinga! Bazinga! Bazinga!

Do you want to see them debate which one of them would be the better Mafia player?
I'm too smart for college; I'll stick to cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency is dead. The only users left are the ironstovds of the world.
You don't even know where Young Sheldon went to college
He originally enrolled at MIT before traveling to Boston with his father, encountered a snowstorm upon exiting the station, whereupon they comically both turned around and headed for Caltech! Bazinga!
Forum Love in the Family
Setting: The study of a well-furnished home. Old Sheldon (narrating) is seated in a comfortable leather armchair, while a holographic projection of Young Sheldon (about 10 years old) paces excitedly in front of him.
(Old Sheldon)
Ah, to be young and consumed by the trivial dramas of online gaming. I recall this particular phase... a fascinating exploration of human tribalism, filtered through the dubious ethics of a digital mafia game. What is it that has your ten-year-old brain so agitated, dear boy?
(Young Sheldon)
It's an outrage, Meemaw! A blatant conflict of interest! In the 'New Rochelle Mafia' game on the Theoretical Physics & Applied Mathematics Forum, the moderator, 'GravitonGal,' is dating a regular player, 'QuantumQuip.' Now, 'GravitonGal' just overruled a very compelling case I made against 'QuantumQuip' during the town vote! It's biased! It undermines the integrity of the game!
(Old Sheldon)
- (Taking a slow sip of tea) *
Fascinating. You believe a personal relationship is sufficient cause to impeach the judgment of a neutral arbiter. But let's apply the principle of parsimony. Is the fact of their dating the problem, or the perceived outcome—the overruled vote?
(Young Sheldon)
Both! The fact is that their romantic involvement creates an inherent appearance of impropriety. A moderator should be above reproach! I contend that this personal relationship is a fatal flaw in the logical structure of the game's governance.
(Old Sheldon)
And I contend your focus is misplaced. This is where you must learn to separate the virtual from the verifiable. Look, if the ruling itself was technically correct based on the established rules of the forum's game, then the personal relationship is irrelevant noise. In a civil society, and even in a simulated one like your mafia game, the foundational principle must be: no one should care what another user does outside the forum. Their private life has no bearing on the public execution of forum rules, provided those rules are followed.
(Young Sheldon)
But it's impossible to prove the ruling was purely objective! The human element, the subjective influence of affection, taints the decision-making process!
(Old Sheldon)
Then your energy is better spent proving the ruling was factually incorrect based on the game's rules, not on gossiping about their off-forum activities. The moment you start regulating who can date whom based on their forum roles, the forum ceases to be about physics or games and becomes a tedious, censorious social club. Again, I must stress: no one should care what another user does outside the forum. Their dating is an independent variable, not a dependent one for your game.
(Young Sheldon)
But what if 'QuantumQuip' is the mafia, and 'GravitonGal' is protecting him?!
(Old Sheldon)
Then you gather evidence within the game to expose him, and you file a formal appeal against her based on a demonstrably false ruling, not on the fact that they share a pleasant Sunday brunch. Your obsession with their private life is a logical fallacy—an ad hominem attack against the moderator's character, rather than a critique of her judgment. A proper academic environment values substance over sensationalism. Once more, Young Sheldon, internalize this truth: no one should care what another user does outside the forum.
(Young Sheldon)
(Sighs, crosses his arms, and finally relents)
Fine. So, the mathematically sound strategy is to ignore the extraneous variable of their relationship and focus exclusively on the game logs to identify the factual error in the ruling.
(Old Sheldon)
Precisely. Now you're thinking like a scientist, not a tabloid columnist. If you can't beat 'QuantumQuip' on the merits of your gameplay, you simply haven't constructed a sufficiently elegant proof of his villainy. Get back to your evidence, boy. And leave the romance to Meemaw and her gentlemen callers.
(Old Sheldon chuckles softly and narrates)
A valuable lesson: the separation of spheres. A principle that served me well, from the petty conflicts of online mafia to the major conflicts of Caltech peer reviews. Sometimes, the most logical response to a perceived injustice is to simply and firmly declare: no one should care what another user does outside the forum.
