being conservative and lethal with your nukes is kind of a great way to play against that

so i mean it might be true that you are a special kind of person who has enough discipline to not immediately go for the rush of dopamine that comes from sending your upgrades in or launching a nuke

but i think on average it makes you greater than rand scum
Excuse me, I am very much the person who wants to hit buttons without thinking through every potential consequence.

But there is no dopamine rush to sending a nuke without the sense of righteousness and conviction about it. And don't see it on upgrades, if I knew for certain that I couldn't double up on a stat I would have sent them in already but even then it would hardly be comparable to trying to turn someone to nuclear ash.

None of this why you nuked me in the first place though?

doesn't nuke me back

do you even know the meaning of mutually assured destruction
Like she accused UNOwen of making scum motivated posts but baiting them into nuking back seems scum motivated to me even moreso
why
all of the nukes being dropped this early is basically a random guess. it would be better to save it at least til closer to the end of the week.

i can sit on 24 though for now that's fine
I didn’t realize you couldn’t switch once it was sent so I’m researching speed this round (sent mine before realizing the value of the delay), but yeah 24h is absolutely fine imo

The nukes could still be retracted. Make your case.
My case at that point was just “I want to play with Marci, back off”
