DEFCON Mafia 4.0

[Andrius]

I know I'm no AGM, but this site needs less TIGERS and more NUKES, so I'm considering running DEFCON 4.0.

Would people be interested in playing another round of DEFCON?
Would there be enough people not interested to Review such a game? (These people

might

be harder to find.)
Is it too close to ELECTION SEASON to run?
Do people still enjoy nukes?

Your opinions are appreciated.

[Andrius]

What is DEFCON?

nukes are bad in real life but fun in games

This is DEFCON MAFIA 3.0

Everyone who wants to be a Dayvigilante gets to be one.
There are DEFCON LEVELS which grow to FIRE THE NUKES.
There are other power roles you can try for if you like in a draft.
But if you want to rain hot nuclear death on your enemies, you will get it. Unlike the draft everyone who wants a nuke will get one.
And you can drink your choice of alcoholic beverage while we watch the nukes fly.
DEFCON 3.0 spawned the PARTY HAT meme as well.

Did I miss anything critical?
There are still players here, after three DEFCON games, who have never fired a nuke, yet were in at least one (two for AV) games.

[Andrius]

Eh, I looked and you had seven posts.
No replace out message either so who knows.


No, I know. Your red-blooded American Heart couldn't stand playing as a communist so you left?

It's not too late to nuke some communists.
For America.

[Andrius]

Scratch that, reviews are going to be cake to find.
Because you can review and play.

The benefits of an open setup.

[Andrius]

So I'm going to look at this this weekend as my term paper will be done tomorrow and OH SO CLOSE to being done with my MBA.

I won't spoil everything but I'm definitely taking AGMs note to switch Defensive Mode to Surface-to-air. Considered the radiation level thing but I personally think any more complications for TROOPS hurts them too much. And, really, we're all here to shoot some NUKES.

May bring back the Spec Ops Team from DEFCON 1.0.
May add something new.

[Andrius]

Looking for some BRAVE AMERICANS to review the game.

If you know any please direct them to my Inbox.

[Andrius]

Open Setup means you can review and play.
Vi did in 3.0, I was VLA otherwise I would have done both.

I mean reviewers still need Mod Experience to count for King UTs Queue.

[Andrius]

Did reviewer requirements skyrocket while I was gone?

1. Requirement for being a reviewer: The reviewer must have run or back-up modded at least one large game. This requirement is for both qualifying as a reviewer for the Large Theme queue and for listing a person as a reviewer in advertisements, sign up posts, or elsewhere on the forum.

Luckily reviewers should still be able to play so there's that.

[Andrius]

Thank you.
Spy, TBM, you've been added to the PT.

I WANT TO PLAY THIS

pre-in to blow up firebringer

YES PLEASE

Yes, please.

Yes, Defcon 4.0 would be awesome.

oh yeah I'd properly participate in this one for sure

Yes, please, and people really should just go for the nuclear option right away instead of dilly-dally in silly lynch/kill cycles.

Pre-in to nuke hydras

You're all down as /pre-ins. If you would like to renounce your citizenship please let me know.

Firebringer, if you want a slot let me know. I didn't give you one as you talked about hydraing so I figured that was tentative.

I'm going to allow hydras since:
1) You can nuke them
2) I trust that people will be responsible with them and not use them to play games when they're already overcapacity etc.

I don't have a hard WISDOM policy but if people have problems we can talk. Or, you know, you could just NUKE the problems.

I will be PMing some DEFCON vets when the game hits signups in case they're lurking around.

Still looking for a Backup Mod.

[Andrius]

If you want a prein, its yours.

[Andrius]

Sure, then!

If there's still room, I'd pre-in.

Done and done.

[Andrius]

Also can I pre-in as well?

PRE IN FOR THIS I WILL LITERALLY COME OUT OF RETIREMENT FOR THIS

Welcome to NORAD, gentlemen.

[Andrius]

We're looking at 24 currently, fyi.
24 BRAVE AMERICANS

[Andrius]

Also still looking for a backup mod.
If anyone feels launching nukes is too great a responsibility for them you can watch the world burn with me from a remote Pacific island and take long walks on the beach.

[Andrius]

This is exactly what I need.
You would only need to step in if I get hit by a truck or nuked or something.

I do all the day to day, so if that's your jam, we've got a party.

I also appreciate the insurance metaphor.

[Andrius]

They have nothing to do with this game.
Someone should bring party hats back.

[Andrius]

Is Party Boat an actual account??
I was planning on being ADMIRAL ANDRIUS again since AGM is the new President of America.

Regardlesd you're welcome to spectate with me if you'd rather not play.

[Andrius]

Offer to spectate open to former eurotrash Gammagooey since I will need someone to pick the music.

[Andrius]

/in for equinox

prein granted.

[Andrius]

We're in the final review of the setup, pending approval.

Assuming all goes as planned, we'll hit the LTQ this weekend.

In game-related news, ALMASTERGM has won the 2048 PRESIDENTIAL Election for this great country, and will lead us through these troubled times of communism and bears.

[Andrius]

He might not be the only MIA Scummer that makes it into the game... I might name the Terrorist.
