Also I take it back, I do not conform

VOTE: Against

I remember reading about the difference between these but I don’t remember what I learnt from the process.

Consider this a product of my pathological need to be different.

This should be fun?

so we submit our choices for troops as soon as defcon 4 starts

troops are like PRs it seems. i think all else equal we'd like town to have these powers?

troops are unique. only 1 person can have each troop. there are more players than troops, so not everyone gets one.

if there's a conflict with drafts (i.e. two or more people want the same troop) than whoever submits the PM to the mod first gets it. lmao.

therefore, i propose we hammer into defcon 4 at some coordinated or agreed upon time in thread, to maximize the ability for townies to procure their desired troop. we have the advantage of numbers, scum have the advantage of coordination: we should try to even that playing field.

at the least, all townies should have the troop draft PM to the mod ready and waiting to go as soon as we enter defcon 4.

this is assuming i'm not misunderstanding something about the mechs. plz correct me if so.

wait what

that is a change from the previous run and also is just really really bad and unfair to people in different time zones from the mod (and also Cakez said that the setup did not change from the previous run with the exception of eavesdropper being maybe removed)

@mod can you explain how troops are distributed in case of a tie, and can you also let us know any other rules that have changed since the last run?

He changed the randomization to timing? That seems silly.

joqiza can be town for pointing this out and trying to strategize around it, though.

Hello, I'm back I'm still waiting for a school back after tha transfer to a neurosurgeon ready hospial. Guess I'll see whether he needs surgery or not tonight or tomorrow morning.

Anyway,

Mafia.
Gorilla, Prism, Sam, are giving out vibes but I'm not sure if they're town vibes or scum vibes.
Weak incline on town vibe for sam, but I'm not sure how I feel about the town bin.
I'm no sure how I feel about Deasveal following up as third either, not that I have a single clue what the difference between Def con 3 and 5 is. I took it to mean "more talky" "less nuclear"
I know we're here for the nukes, but the only reason we're all still here in this not nuclear wasteland is because people slowed down a little.

DEFCON 5 = voting on total war
DEFCON 4 = drafting troops (PR's)
DEFCON 3 = Day 1. Regular execution, no nukes, SK kill, no scum kill.
DEFCON 2 = Day 2. Regular execution, no nukes, SK kill, scum kill.
DEFCON 1 = Day 3 on to the rest of the game. There's an execution still (and factional kills), but also nukes.
