Oh, big yawn!
buffing the builder seems like it would pay really good dividends lategame and i think it'd be really good to get started on it now, personally - that said getting some details would, i agree, be helpful

regarding claiming, can you elaborate on this? like full roleclaims sure, but my feeling is that we need to give a little more information out in a soldiers game so that the builder has something to work with for strategy purposes

no that's a fair point. I mostly mean alignment/fullclaims. I'm waiting on clarification on something before I state where I fall re: combat/building. I either have a really neat combat capability if I'm reading it right or, if I'm not, it'd be a better ability for clutch play and not constant combats. Will update once I hear more. :v:

Got confirmation from mod, progress is lost.


So if there is an upgrade we *need* might be worth swarming, though risks scum having a way to block all progress on a specific build.

I would say we should probably pick 2-3 projects, forcing a split in response from scum.

That's it from me on strategy talk till we get more information on projects.

Why would you try to make a meta "town call" on someone you had little experience in playing with? I have a town read of AA, but having such a big to-do about 'oh, this is town AA' strikes me as scummy, performative behavior from the jump.

I'm very suspicious of anyone having a very strong town read of anyone this early in the game. And even if you, for some reason do, by way of something like a n0 cop (pls don't claim if it is a n0 cop), why would you come out to bat for someone this quickly, instead of watching to see who seems to be arguing without genuinely casing? I don't get it.
