Chell is the slot with the most reflection in their posts so far.

Last gun game i played it consisted of town banding together and all agreeing on a scummy slot we all mass shoot our nukes at, and if anyone deviated from that or made errant scummy shots we murdered them.

In that aspect wouldn't it be best if we focus on letting people we townread make the best upgrades and then let the scummy slots make less potent upgrades, and if they deviate from it we mass nuke them as well.

Of course this strategy depends on us being good at finding slots we are fairly certain to be town from early on.

have you considered that that is literally no fun whatsoever

Why would how fun it is be relevant though.

I'm perfectly capable of having fun even in the most intense and bloodthirsty of environments though so maybe i'm the outlier here.

if you can't answer that question on my own i don't think i can help you dude

[Cephrir]

your own*

[NorwegianboyEE]

Where are you even going with this.

[Cephrir]

i am suggesting we not play optimal because i'd rather have fun

it's not rocket science

[Chell]

that is the scummiest way ive ever seen someone present a pro-town strategy

Do you disagree with the strategy itself?

no

it doesn't feel like you are actually trying to convince people to play this way

[T3]

It just emotional
Altho I also don’t get why T3 thinks you’re scum enough to nuke you here

I moderately disliked Marci’s tone around the nukes and her reaction to people using random nukes. It seemed like she was scared scum, perhaps.

What even was my reaction lolol

16 and 18 gave kinda weird and insincere vibes.

U 2 bestie!

[T3]

Can we even use our nukes yet? I’d ask but I’m at work and too busy being a bad employee.

you either didn't read page one of the game or you are intentionally dumb telling

Why would scum!Bell intentionally dumb tell in this situation? If the dumbtell was sincere that wouldn’t imply anything about his alignment, no?

While I did scumread you, the nuke was also mainly intended as a reaction test. And you half-failed said reaction test. Your reaction to my nuke felt a little scummy in that you immediately started talking about random stuff and then got more serious a bit after that, which I find scummy. But it’s also not like you freaked out and super scumtelled.

Chell is the slot with the most reflection in their posts so far.

What in particular? I liked Chell’s progression from 131 to 137 but it’s definitely not unfakeable and I’d guess that it’s well within Chell’s scumrange too.

[Bell]

Is chell bad at faking confidence as scum?

[Cephrir]

i know we love talking about meta on mafiascum dot net but now we tryina use those terms on someone who doesn't even have meta

[T3]

Idk who Chell is lol, but they're an alt playing in a large theme, chance are they're an experienced player.

[Bell]

Oh, I didn’t notice.

[Bell]

Aren’t they the protag of portal. Or am I thinking of somebody else.

[Roden]

Also I will say I think the last thing we should invest in is speed

I disagree, speed is the ultimate stat and going first in the turn order is always super strong. Specifically, speed is our only way to counteract scum if they decide to invest in MIRV and nuke production, and then clusterbomb the rest of the player list with dozens of nukes in the mid/late game.

Full disclosure, I'm prioritizing lethality and speed so I can guarantee snipes on anyone who tries to cluster bomb.

[Roden]

T3 is the one who said he scumread Marci, roden’s I am pretty sure was full random
I will assume T3 meant what he said until he specifies otherwise

I don't think this is the face of someone who doesn't carefully consider every decision that could cause horrible obliteration:

But maybe I'm wrong.

@Roden

?

I have my hand hovering on the cancel button.

[Gamma Emerald]

That’s valid tbf

[Gamma Emerald]

The speed counterpoint, ftr

Ehhh

[Cephrir]

...does a player's death abort their nukes? that's not how any prior defcon game has worked

[Bell]

Maybe I’m missing something but once the nuke is in the air it’s in the air so counter nuking only really works in the event they launch the “winning” nukes and get counter wrecked as the last remaining scum.
