This -probably- is a REALLY bad idea early game.As a result, to confirm the validity of saying "I got option #6, this must mean option #1-5 were taken by other players".- Enigma

IN THAT HIGHLY UNLIKELY PRESENTED SCENARIO, THAT PLAYER WOULD HOLD A MASSIVE INFORMATION LEAD.

@Faraday
It's not really harming the discussion at the moment either. Is there a "really good reason" you don't want people to understand how abilities are generated?THE LEMON LIVES! - Cabd- Faraday

Eavesdrop: This can easily be worked around. Scum have had 1 week to formulate ways of communicating in their quicktopic which won't reveal anything useful.Percy wrote:What abilities do you think are useless to both? Most can get town info or foil scum plans in some way.
And personally if I was scum I would spam something that would incriminate a townie (etc etc) 10 times and hope it would get intercepted. A whole case of WIFOM. Useless.
Radar: A crap version of a tracker. Rather useless.
Fighter: Very circumstantial evidence. A deterrence to fake claiming but can easily be worked around.- Faraday

What changed since #25 where you suggested Eavesdrop might make a good first or second choice alongside Espionage?Enigma wrote:Eavesdrop: This can easily be worked around. Scum have had 1 week to formulate ways of communicating in their quicktopic which won't reveal anything useful.

Why a crap version? The only thing it misses are Stealth Bombers (which scum don't have til DEFCON 2). Oh, wait, unless "Stealth Bombers" = the regular "night kill" ability?Enigma wrote:Radar: A crap version of a tracker. Rather useless.THE LEMON LIVES! - Cabd- Enigma

That was just a preliminary skim read on the first day. Since then I have actually read through all the rest and given each role a bit of thought. In particular the thought of sending out messages with the intention that they are intercepted which I didn't realize on my first read.
Ehh I thought Stealth Bombers are the regular night kill ability available from Defcon 2. Not exactly sure what you mean?
Question: Can Stealth Bombers be tracked by the independent faction since it is a shared ability.- AurorusVox

This. The "What abilities are useful and what aren't" discussion really isn't helping out a lot either especially since most people have already sent in their choices. Sure its harmless and isn't hurting the town... Unless its all that people are talking about.Faraday wrote:Does it actually matter how unlikely it is? I can't see a really good reason to discuss it at the moment.
People, if we're going to have pointless discussion then at least have some good discussion in there.- Hinduragi

Well, not really sure what you want by good discussion, but I'm pretty sure we can all agree that when/if we claim, we should claim abilities we have as well as how/when we used them. Though a silo is going to be the equivalent of VT and at least two players will have it.First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.- Doombunny9

I agree with this but what I meant as the pointless discussion was the 'Game Mechanics Discussion' the 'Likelihood of not getting your X choice discussion' and the 'What abilities are pointless discussion'. We're almost into DEFCON 3 and should be beginning scumhunting now, not having pointless discussions that take up the majority if not all of players posts. Pointless discussion is fine. Pointless discussion taking up most of the focus of players is not.Hinduragi wrote:Well, not really sure what you want by good discussion, but I'm pretty sure we can all agree that when/if we claim, we should claim abilities we have as well as how/when we used them.

@Everyone to help get on track- Who is your top FoS and why?
Mine would be Enigma for basically starting all three of the previously mentioned discussions either directly or indirectly.- Papa Zito
