DEFCON Mafia 2.0 - Over, American Victory!

[RedCoyote]

I'd love to hear what all the 1.0 vets have to say about their views.

I don't know what Kitoari is getting at with this "choose someone who is pro-town" business. It actually sounds kind of fishy to me. There's no reason to try and out think the choice system. The town simply doesn't have the benefit of a QT, so there's no way around broadcasting any pre-planning for the entire world to see. The best way to do this is just to keep your choices to yourself for the time being. Be sure to follow Percy's tips, however, when creating a preference list. Don't worry about choosing active/passive/silo abilities, you want to pick straight from the ability list itself and put them in a clear ordered list for the Mod to follow. Percy's example list is actually pretty good, but you should alter it to match your playstyle. If you like investigative roles, then Fighter or Espionage would be a good place to start a list, but if you know you draw in nightkills or think you may draw nukes, then perhaps you should look at Airbase or Fallout Shelter as major choices. Don't try to out think this, just be yourself. There's no wrong answer (with the exception of Failsafe which, again, I agree with Percy on. I would not recommend choosing this at all. The potential negative results far outweigh the positive. You'd be better off just picking an anti-ballistic missile silo).

Toog is as scummy as IS is town.

I'd blast PERCY at this point.

I'm not entirely sure if you are saying I am not scummy at all and you believe IS is absolutely scum, or vice versa, or if you are making some kind of claim that one of us must be scum...

[Percy]

Last game we had a (town) player claim a Radar result, which tracked a (town) player's Fighter ability to a (town) player who had deployed defensive troops.

There were some players last game who thought you needed to choose missile silo, offensive troops or defensive troops, and then list the abilities in that subsection by preference. This is not the case.

Glad to know I made a good first impression on you, Percy.

Hey, I didn't name names

And oh man, you were so much better than Enigma

Nukes will be flying, despite the attempts at constant manipulation by the peace loving one-world government hippies.

I like how you snuck "government" in there. Lolwut?

I'm actually serious. I know that nukes are the "idea" behind the game, but playing this game as if we didn't have them, but we have additional lynches, is actually the best thing we can do as town.

Unless it's sanctioned by the playerbase, no-one should nuke. If you disagree, then say why, kthx.

I'd blast PERCY at this point.

Ok caught up now. Sorry for the multi posts.

Wow, it would really suck if Percy turns out to be a commie sympathizer, right?

TRUST NO ONE.

Nukes will be flying, despite the attempts at constant manipulation by the peace loving one-world government hippies. The communist scum will be ferreted out and disposed off. Either by lynching or crispy-critter style.

Hey are you a secret jester or what??

The town should understand each ability and choose the list based on the best strategy for the town and their playstyle as they see it. I don't like how this post is trying to guide votes too specifically and your advice seems to lack overall integrity.

I don't like too scum to be scum.

[Jed Cooper]

Radar is similar to Fighter in that it doesn't give you alignment if you track someone to another player, and worse still, you cannot track the scum night kills

MOD: Is this true?

(Yes. --AGM)

[Jed Cooper]

Scum:
IS
Fate


Different scumteams. Calling it now.

this.

FTR the posts were flying like crazy earlier and I was at work. I repudiate this post from myself. Fate ultimately made good sense.

[Faraday]

We should pick someone by consensus who we believe is town to have them take one of the obviously pro-scum abilities.

that's a good idea (but not really)

Also no to nuke claim, no to picking someone town to take nuke blah blah strategy talk which I don't care about since I already sent my picks in.

[chesskid3]

Percy, I disagree. I want to be a hero and nuke scumz

[Jed Cooper]

Are you aware that a vig that refuses to be guided by the town is lynchable?

[chesskid3]

Not if you nuke scumz, though. Like, if i'm 100% on a read, and there's no support, I'm taking the shot

[Faraday]

LYNCHABLE EH?

"Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not the hero. He's a silent guardian, watchful protector. The Dark Knight."

^^ this is how I feel on the nuke discussion

[chesskid3]

The motherfucking batman

[Jed Cooper]

And how, pray tell, do we know that you're town then?

Because your sentiment is pro-scum.

[chesskid3]

Read me from other things than my nuke. It's called mafia.

[Jed Cooper]

That won't stop the rope tho. Its called Mafia and if you refuse to have the town guide ur vig, then u r one.

[Internet Stranger]

Wow, dont you weenies have any pride? Any pride to be a full red blooded American? This bedwetting communist talk isnt what being an American is about. We have nukes and we will use them again. We bombed the shit out of the Japs and it won us the war. We shall do it again to these commies and win yet again.

Dont any of you find it ironic that the proposed method to weed out the communist scum is by using a centralized form of planning regarding what to do with our own god damn nukes? I dont know about the rest of you, but im not ready to kneel in from of Percy and gobble him. Its downright shameful the way some of you hippies are behaving. The communists are sitting around laughing at your weakness.

Henceforth I say, screw you all. I will weed out the scum by myself if I have to, THATS what America is all about. Self-reliance and stomping on commies with a nuclear missile.

MOD: Is this true?

Radar:

The night may be dark, but your radar screen is neon green. And it’s hard to miss stuff flashing in neon green. {I will inform you of who target player targets, if anyone.

Note: The Stealth Bomber is a shared activated ability and cannot be detected.

}

So what you are saying is that we will treat every nuke that isn't sanctioned as if it were fail safed?

[Jed Cooper]

@IS: Thanks for sharing

Mr. Too Scummy For The Room

[Toogeloo]

On the nuke subject, I don't find sanctioning our nukes as very productive. You wouldn't direct a Vigilante on who to kill every night would you?


I do love the "scum-hunting" that is going on btw. This is quite possibly the easiest phase to feign town since there is no consequence, and everyone is jumping all over the one person who sticks out like a sore thumb.

[chesskid3]

I JUMPED ON HIM FIRST. WHERE'S MY MEDAL?

[Faraday]

Who's jumping on who?
