Preparing (Day 0)

[Skiddles]

So...we're with the bugs. That's GREAT.

Let's see what we can do to get everyone killed... This thread is to discuss troop placement etc.

REMEMBER- orders are final, so think before you order!

[Skiddles]

Also to keep in mind:

So. We have 2 player kills a day in a 20 player game that lasts 7 days.

What the hell???

[Skiddles]

So. Rane has clarified that nothing bad will happen when we kill people, that we have more kills over 7 days than there are players (much less villagers), and yet this is balanced.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there are resurrections in this game, which is going to suck balls.

As for my day 0 placement, I'm thinking 3 guys in the middle building, and 2 guys in the shack around P13.

First off, it's a 9-day game. The ship gets here on the seventh, leaves on the ninth.

There are med packs, but they won't help rez squads, it appears.

If you die, we do lose some kills, so that's kind of important. Beyond that, not sure what makes this balanced lol, but we'll find out!

Dunno about placement yet, I'll think on it.

Skid's Squad SMRT Placement:
1 (Lisa)-H10
2 (Marge)-J7
3 (Homer)-P13
4 (Maggie)-L8
5 (Bart)-O13

I'll be gone for most of the afternoon, by the way. I'll send in my placements sometime after I get back.

So should we target some of the more experienced Phalla players right off the bat?

Like I was thinking Burnage. But that would just be cruel to day 1 him again.

Also maybe I should read my villager PM more carefully, since Burnage is in my squad.

Now I'm just totally confused.

[Skiddles]

I don't think that Burnage will be a good idea.

In fact, someone who would make a poor network head would be ideal, given our speculation on them getting resurrected and being a known villager. So maybe start with someone somewhat inexperienced (but not new) and/or prone to being absent?

I'd say Tommy for our first kill, maybe? I've missed a bunch of phalla, so maybe he doesn't fit the bill...

[Skiddles]

Yeah, you don't have a squad with other players.

You have 5 guys in your squad, with ranks 1-5. You can move em together or independently etc.

If they all die, you are removed from the game. If you get vigged, your squad is removed (theoretically?).

So now you should be placing your squad by giving a PM to Rane.

I would like to comment

and i think i mentioned it in the mafia role PM

when kime came up as a mafia member I literally said "OH OF COURSE" and threw up my hands

DeWitt's Dolls
1 Echo Q3
2 Alpha B13
3 Whiskey I8
4 Sierra E8
5 November O9

Based on this from the villager role PM:
"Look – you search that tile for items. Items are doled out based on order of rank and of availability. Keep in mind that looking on a tile excessively will cause bad things."
I think we should run a bunch of LOOKs early on inside the walls. If we coordinate on one square, maybe we can get a hole to pop up inside the walls, out of range of the turrets.

[Skiddles]

That might be okay.... Although having a bunch of our guys on top of the holes might be counterproductive.

I don't think that we should all do any one thing, just like in any standard mafia game. Do your own thing, and you'll stand out less.

But if we can get some flash or regular grenades, we could really screw with the goodies... So doing a bit of searching with your guys isn't a bad idea.
