Advance Wars UPick!--Game Over..?

[Brian Skies]

I haven't followed the last few pages but Bookitty wants to vote me now so I'll claim. My CO power at 4 stars is that I can vig.

My wincon is to accumulate 12 stars.

This is what abr claimed. He's claiming a co power that goes against his wincon, and claiming an actual third party wincon rather than his co power is a second wincon like mine. It reads like a clumsy mirroring of my claim.

The clumsy mirror is what makes me most suspicious. And it makes me wonder if he had knowledge of what your ability was so he could. Did you ever claim your wincon in your hood prior to him claiming his?

But yeah, the vig ability seems contradictive.

2 things:
1) why is your primary assumption that was her thinking? I don't see an indication that was her thought process and I don't think its fair to assume that her replace out was because of tactical reasons and not non game reasons or emotional ones.
2) why is cheet being able to be convinced otherwise from his own thinking scummy? and yeah I really have no reason to have starpoints as I win the game individually if I use my co power. I'd rather win with the town.

I claimed it right here lol.

[Brian Skies]

I forgot about that. :/ Doesn't look as damning as it did before.

Doesn't Albert ask what people are thinking of certain people this game? It kinda feels like a vig looking for direction to me.

[Brian Skies]

Or maybe he just asked about Honeybee?

[Honey bee]

Tbh when I played with town abr I don't remember him caring at all what anyone else thought. And I don't see him caring about who he shoots unless he's town.

[Bookitty]

Okay, I have a stupid question.

Don't CO Powers expend stars when they're used?

[Konowa]

Yes.

[Brian Skies]

My image is similar in that I picture him doing whatever he thinks will lead to his wincon, and the other players in the game are just in his way.

He did the same as scum, check open 575 stack the deck.
I was scum with him and texcat.

Also, apparently, your Star Limit is your CO power requirement. So holding onto your stars for multiple actions in a night is a no-go.

[Bookitty]

Okay. ABR claimed at the start of Yesterday that he was a double voter now. Which seems to ME to be something that would be a CO power because it's pretty powerful.

Then at the end of the day he said he was a vig now that he would have four stars. So he didn't spend anything to suddenly become a double voter.

I played with ABR quite a bit before my years-long hiatus. I also played with him recently. I don't know why he'd deliberately provoke or threaten people as town, but I would say that other elements of his play are not that far out of line for my town-meta for him.

what the hell? this was not stated by nati anywhere that i can find

[Brian Skies]

Albert does scummy things as town to support his scumgame.

@Orci: Yeah I know. But questions were asked because of 'reasons.'

[Bookitty]

Unless otherwise stated, a COP is an active ability and cannot be activated in conjunction with other abilities.

This?

[Bookitty]

I do see that it spends them when you use them. Thanks, Brian.

mod can you confirm this

bearing in mind i will be cross with you if this is true

[Brian Skies]

I believe the main topic of my discussion with Nati was star hoarding.

I can imagine but its weird behavior which points more to scum than to benign 3rd party.

[Brian Skies]

Lol. Albert benign.

This is how the videogame works too

Abr is as Brian said someone who will play to his win condition and we're in his way. Mabye we should ISO him again and compare the motivations for town/scum/3rd-party in his posts.

We need to keep in mind ABR may have a SCOP.

[Konowa]

secondary power thing?

[Cabd]

Right. Co Power. Supert CO power. Starting fro the second game and up, each CO has two powers. One at a lower number of stars, one at a higher number of stars.

[Honey bee]

Uhh.. I realllly doubt there are SCOPs. And he didn't claim that, he claimed his wincon.

And I don't see abr caring more as a non town/scum role.
