@mod can we please use the randomization to resolve drafting conflicts that was in prior games? having it be timing based is arbitrary and unfair
As the game has started, I can no longer change the setup in any way as it would compromise game integrity.

Could you PM us when Defcon 4 starts so I can spam it then?

I can foresee a great number of problems with this draft method

imo Air Base needs to go to Bell and anyone else ranking it at all should be a scumclaim
if you don't understand/don't share the read, all you need to know is that he is one of the most divergent players on site. Make him unnightkillable and force scum to nuke him if they want him out

Since this is dependent on speed, if anyone is super lazy/will struggle to put together a list in time for DEFCON 4, here's a sample draft that should work fine for town.
If you want a nuclear weapon go Submarine into Silo.
If you want to prioritize PRs here's my general suggestion or template:
1. Espionage
2. Fighter
3. Battleship
4. Aircraft Carrier
5. Submarine
6. Radar
7. Counterintelligence
8. Strategic Missile Defense
9. Covert Ops
10. Eavesdrop
11. Silo
Mix it up as you want. If you think drawing a scum PR is lame, gimme town PR or nuke, go for it. I did not include Fail Safe, Fallout Shelter, or Air Base in this list as I don't think the first two should generally be picked and I think Air Base should go to Bell/have scum burn a pick to block him getting it.

Submarine isn't single use actually so maybe move it up to 2/3

Yeah, I'm taking air base.
Sorry scum team/serial killer.
Look on the bright side, I tend to have opinions and if you manage to fool me into thinking you're town, odds are I'll defend you like an idiot.

Am I missing something that makes fighter good

Telling scum who the air base is seems pretty bad but ok
Posted: Sat May 01, 2021 9:56 am

Yes. A rolecop in this game is very valuable because scum can use the submarine as a daily second kill and it catches the SK outright, among other uses.
The value of Bell specifically being the person w/ Air Base outweighs the benefit of a single stopped kill.

(And scum claiming submarine defeats the utility in their picking it to begin with)

I suppose it is worth clarifying with Cakez/looking at previous games to see exactly what Fighter returns, "Troop" or "Silo" would not be particularly useful while a specific troop or which silo mode would be.

(a) that's a completely unfounded assumption based on how you imagine town would play, and (b) I don't even really care about defending myself, I'm trying to understand your thought process so I can read you-- and I have a leg up here, since I know that you're entirely off-base, so I can try to figure out whether I think you made an error or whether it was more malicious.
As it is, it seems like you just dropped a buzzword down and then tried to retroactively justify it, which is probably slightly +scum, but only slightly.

Denial, mostly.
Also potentially good for catching scum fakeclaiming a PR without outing that PR (not super likely to happen, but it did happen last time
)
Though actually, it's probably better to just say that taking fighter is a scumclaim, because then if scum do take it they'll have to counterclaim a different troop.

As someone who was scum against an eavesdropper in the last game, no it doesn't.
