Mini 907: Tech Tree Mafia (End Game)

[Cobalt]

vote UK

for stealing my build

FoS: malthusis

because the drath are overpowered

[Cobalt]

You know zoraster, that the mafia can go for Technology Victory as well. If we did this, there would be no reason for the mafia to not cooperate or for them to start killing people. I can't think of any reason that everyone winning like this wouldn't work, though it would probably be a pretty dull way to win.

I'd bet there's mafia abilities to punish tech wins. Like they mafia is alerted when someone is a tech away form it.

Hey UK, that sounds like a wonderfully terrible idea and one which ensures you'll keep my vote for now. cheers

[Cobalt]

BP as a first step is a good idea. Even if you weren't planning on it, it's only 1 tech and it might save your life.

[Cobalt]

Yeah, how about we actually hunt scum?

unvote vote chaco

Like this!

unvote vote chaco

Like this!

...what? One how is Chaco scum? Please state this in your way. Two, why not give a reason? Three, why jump on what seems to be a nonsensical bandwagon with no real reason? For these reasons I

vote Cobalt

funny how all three of these are the same thing.

[Cobalt]

All three of those essentially ask why I voted.
It's because chaco's setup spec is quite bad. There was no obvious reason for town to take something besides BP last night, and there's no indication it's a bad strategy. So what if docs become useless and the mafia has to use boost? Even making the mafia's NKs that much harder to pull off is a good effect.

How is telling people why not to setup speculate speculating?

What does that have to do with what I said?

[Cobalt]

Um, what? Are you saying he wasn't speculating?

[Cobalt]

It's not _just_ setup speculation. He opposes a clearly protown plan. Unless you want tech victory or something, BP was one of the best choices for last night, because it was basically a free invent ability. Anyone who picked BP gets another ability free tonight, because they can't be NK'd.

[Cobalt]

still comfy with my vote

[Cobalt]

I didn't say the choices were TV or BP. I think BP was the best choice.
BP forces usage of Boost, which in turn forces a build to Creativity. If the scum with Creativity dies, they need to build for it again. And the creativity tree doesn't look as good as a lot of the others.
Still happy with a chaco vote.

[Cobalt]

like chaco
