RIP Rookie Sam "Bird" Ryan. In his first outing against advent, he was mind controlled and had to be put down by his own allies, only to be reanimated and put down again. You will be remembered fondly.

My team of teachers cried today over a student we lost (he got in a fight, accidentally knocked a teacher over, gone forever). The kid was smart, charming, and had a good work ethic. He had a bright future and I really hope him being expelled doesn't cost that.

Caring sucks.

Edit: seeing adults cry is weird. Crying with them is weird. Especially when no one died. Maybe I'm just not used to it.

In Texas that is the sort of thing that gets you sent to a displinary alternative school for a few months but not expelled. I work at one for a really nice district, and that is exactly how we get the handful of really great students we have that really do not belong with us and we are happy to see go back at the end of their stay with us and hope never come back. Expulsion is such an extreme consequence to put on a kid.

You healed up and rejoined the resistance after a 31 day recovery from your earlier wounds. You've killed 5 aliens in 3 missions, and are currently going for a hardcore killer build (I have given you every perk that gives extra damage, rather than added safety and sneaking)

Your shotgun also has a 5% chance to instantly kill someone

But you did give me the perk that doesn't trigger overwatch fire right?

While most people escape from battle decently well, you do make some pretty amazing kills. You just cut down a Mec while on fire (mind you tomm softened it up first with some pro sniper overwatch)

I don't know how I'm going to avoid buying this game and playing it.

But I shouldn't, because I still have plenty of purchased unplayed games to get through like Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Life Is Strange, etc.

There's Victoria lots of places.

Though thinking of the one in Canada makes me think of "War on the East Coast" by the New Pornographers, since it's namechecked in the first few lines.

More Fake Mafia Thoughts From Work:
  • If towns vote (on aggregate) for the most suspicious players, it is presumably not advantageous for scum to eliminate other suspicious players (my anomalous pair of night-kill-the-low-postcount-player scumteams aside)
  • In the current simulated meta, it is, for various reasons, imperative that the scum find the cop as soon as possible.
  • Additionally, it is reasonable that a cop, as they gain knowledge over the course of several nights, becomes more aware of who is and isn't lying, and thus can play less suspiciously.
  • Obviously, some cops remain suspicious even while having the advantage of knowledge. However, this can be reasonably modeled by a cop's suspicion factor dropping by a static value each time they successfully investigate any other player (as opposed to the exponential rise suspicion factor goes through over the course of a game)
  • Additionally, we can make it so that scum hunt at night via suspicion factor, either by an engaged roll or a flat numerical comparison----well, the opposite, where less-suspicious numbers become more heavily weighted. This reasonably models scum attempting to eliminate strong players and active scumhunters.
  • Building off of yesterday's thoughts, the doc basically has to try and protect a claimed cop the night after a claim. That can basically be presumed as an engine change going forward without any particular balance considerations.
