I don't, because they were scary as hell. Resident Evil isn't supposed to be scary.
You more then likely would have got most of your team killed then, this was the same team that killed the "PAIN Las Plagas" with no real difficulty(I ever flashed banged them).:clown: I had to lure one of their group out to kill him, and it took a horde of zombies on "feeding frenzy" mode to kill him.:sweatdrop:
Point is that the detective was one of the most well-protected townies to the end of the game...I ever stole some weapons off them and they still let me join their group because I could be scanned and was not outright scum. The other person I was with, they told to go away or die.:laugh4:
We killed the queen in one round I think... And two plagas and then 3 tyrant spawn later on, even if we didn't get the killing blow on all. Now Leon did have massive damage output and could probably kill 1-2 of us in 2 rounds, if slighly lucky. And he was pretty much the only scary thing left. The odds for anyone against us to survive more than one round was minimal. We had total damage output of 26 and 10, 10, 8 in combat. Him in a tank was scary, but that alone wouldn't been enough, unless he got very lucky. When we killed the queen, we had 22 damage I think, we didn't have the minigun yet.
Let me put it this way, in the biggest people battle (I think there was a larger zombie horde at some point); 16 went in (to be fair 6 npc zombies), 4 went out. 3 of them were systech mercs.
I do have some of the old stat mails left. I was hardest to kill with 10 combat, 7 luck (I'm not sure if I had a vest, then it should be 9) and 7 vit. Wis (aka Leon) had a good sword and stats to boost it, so he did 2 attacks 5 damage and had 66% shot of a third attack. He had 7 in combat.
So his average damage would be 10+5*0.66=13.3. My damage reduction would be 13.3*0.35 (chance to hit)*0.51 (luck)=2.37, so about 3 rounds to kill me.
Didn't FH maul the townie squad quite badly when transforming? And make Wis paranoid enough that he killed a townie?
Well, when me and the doctor met your group, and you were also carrying a number of unaffiliated townies around with you, we (Me, the doctor and other two I can't remember who they were) knew that you weren't typical policemen, and we did briefly discuss attacking you (Mainly out of fear of a likely prospective betrayal) but we decided against it since you were going to give me the Metal Detector (Which I wasn't sure if it only worked for one person or for everyone) that I needed, and because we were badly armed and you were armed to the teeth, and once the 2/3 mini-tyrants came before the bridge crossing to the Military Base, most of my trusted group died, so I was forced to stick around to you and hope you'd give me the Metal Detector so I could make my escape close-by. Luckily, it all worked out fine, but with people dieing left and right, I wasn't too sure I was gonna make it.
Besides, I think the biggest battle in the game was with the big group vs El Gigante on the bridge. ATPG?
It saddens me to see how much the other players didn't see how exploitable the "Speed" stat was...all it ever is is "Combat skill...all about the combat skill".:no:
There is a very good reason why every players speed stat is now 10...I had a speed stat of 13 by last games end and unless someone had a sniper or something, I could just avoid them or if I had to fight them I had a ton of combat rounds to kill them in. A Combat of 10 with a speed of 1, would pretty much be a death sentence unless they were in a group. I could outrun the tank Wiz was in, but I made several mistakes which cost the Zombie horde badly...and Wiz crushed me badly for that.:shame:
I didn't know that the omega also was bumped to 13 in their primary stat? I knew the tyrants (queen spawn) was. Speed was good with a good melee weapon, decent combat and preferbly some strength on that, but speed was better at running away than anything else. Also remember that we started as a team and expected heavy combat.
I mean 13 combat vs 6 combat => 15% hit chance. Sure having 2 extra attacks/round is great, but you also need to hit with it. Compare 4 rounds with 15% hit chance vs 2 rounds with 85% hit chance. Or even better 10 combat 1 speed, vs 10 speed 1 combat. Even if the 10 speed guy get 10 attacks/round vs 1 attack, he'll lose.
Speed doesn't win out on a certain hit until combat 10 vs 8 with a 2 attacks/round melee weapon, even if potential burst damage is certainly higher.
Being able to pick your battles are great, but you still need to win when engaging. Luck was a pretty crazy stat though, that one I understand why it'll get locked. I think the tank gave 10 speed. I know that Wis had 7 in speed normally.
The weapon I had pretty much guaranteed my victory against someone with 10 combat but 1 speed...:book2:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Sad part was, I gave it away before I "turned" to that group to gain there trust after stealing from them, that backfired big time. I also only had +1 added to my speed when I went Omega...I had 12 before from speed herbs...and a luck one as well. I still think everyone was crazy to fight El Gigante when almost everyone who did died...not to mention every SK/Zombie/Las Plagas knew they were there, like some giant hunk of meat hanging near the bridge...:laugh4:
Yeah...you can tell I favor running away and only fighting when given no choice.:bounce:
Impressive, I think you were the only human to get 12 in a stat.
iirc ranged weapons didn't get a speed bonus, only melee weapons. And that makes sense. So that's a 6 damage/round weapon, both for you and the 1 speed player. Now, there was a 3/2 melee weapon that you could turn into 3/4+whatever strength bonus you had (+1 and you had the highest damage potential for one player actually). Still, do you remember your combat rating? Really, 40% and below hit rating is horrible. It stops being reliable (if you ever played Battle for Wesnoth you really know that).
I don't remember what happened to the El Gigante surviviors though, me and CB joined up at the bridge and bypassed him on our way to the objective.
It depends on the role and stat determination on what I favour. I do tend stand and fight, but the role rules most. It is possible that I've would done a high speed char if I was a townie, but as a merc, with combat objectives+searching mission in a high danger area, high speed at loss of combat would've been a stupid idea.
I was in 6 battles and never took damage.
Jolt, since I did reread your qt a bit, we did tell our stats exactly for scare effect (since we suspected that townies could be scared, thus stupid, but not suecidal), but I'm surprised you had Psycho(naut) at 8 and not a bluffed 10. Could someone scan stats or was it shown combat calculations or something that gave it? Wis pushed most for the battle, since he was the only one with an objective to take us out.
Rereading the game thread, there wasn't that many that attacked El Gigante, the biggest battle there was taking down a serial killer, that killed most (all?) opponents. That was a 5 man battle.
Stumbling upon this thread, and with a quick PM to ATPG, I find myself accepted as a competitor in this epic. Dare I say, I'm excited for the carnage! :2thumbsup:

Gonna want to start asking to gain entry if you haven't already, peoples. Still a bunch of space left after VIP invites went out, but when open sign-ups begin, the remaining slots will fill rapidly.
Why is choxorn in a different colour? I'll simply have to vote him for the lynch on Day One.
It's very hard to tell, but chox has a darker shade of blue.
You can all chalk that up to a very very mild colorblindness on Askthepizzaguy's part.
I cannot see the difference on my screen at all. It means precisely zip, as I won't rand the characters until I get 50 players.
No-one can SEE the difference, but when you quote your list... number of color is different :)
It is not so apparent, so it must be VERY important...
It's visible. I think the town mercs had that colour in the old game, while the rest of the town had the other blue. Town hero evidently.
I'm not sure, because ATPG deletes the older list, but I think Choxorn was pending before he ended up with the different colour.
It's only visible to those who can see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
I don't think shameless plugs are appropriate topics in public forums where the minimum age to join is under 18.
Estimated time of inception?
I'm still under horse tranquiliser-like medication. PM me the details, I'll probably remember it when this thing wears off.
Or, you know, I will ask Takhisis.
It was in choxorn's CFC signature for awhile.
Hey guys.
I came to kill some zombies.
Am I on the right thread?
Yes! Yes you are! *high-fives*
I came here to kill zombies and chew bubble gum.
And I'm all out of bubble gum, bullets, weapons in general, medicine, stats, and health.
I'm gonna take some zombies to the bank.
TO THE BLOOD BANK.
Oh my god, Steven Seagull. Why anyone would find him entertaining is beyond my power.
You could make a Steven Seagal movie by just obtaining a very large block of cheese and putting a black jacket on it and a pony tail, and then propping up signs with badly written one liners on it. Edit in some explosions and fist punching noises, if you want to be thorough, but quite honestly its not even necessary.
Why would I not want that?

Yeah that's right. Beefy AND TheFlax are back, bitches!
Hey, uh, so like I've been mentioning literally everywhere for the past 3 weeks, I've been sick as a dog for most of the past.... 3 weeks.
I was willing to play some mafia games to relax and pass the time, but designing the game is pretty labor intensive. Especially the map and role PMs.
So, the launch date is not going to be Halloween as I had planned.
Right now? Aiming for November 13th, a couple weeks after Halloween and still on the scary and evil day which has a 13 in it.
So it's NEARLY scary.
Ah well, we would have launched on Halloween if I hadn't been in agony for a week followed by 2 weeks straight of coughing up fluid so I can't sleep.
:bounce:
BUT WE ARE GOING TO PLAY THIS THING, DANG IT!
You see, I actually designed and created and then infected myself WITH the actual Omega virus. You know, to get into character.
Turns out I wasn't immune. :shocked:
But that's okay, I'll be transforming into El Gigante shortly.
And then, I'm going to eat you all.
Welcome to the game..... Gregoshi!
Yeah, that's right. Gregoshi, people.
Hahahahaha!
Who's next, Privateerkev?
Or @Renata
Or @Diamondeye
Count me in (from 2+2)
What's up! I'm a mafia player from 2+2.
I expect to be killed early in a particularly gruesome fashion :)
I promise if and when you die, they will be coughing up pieces of you from their lungs.
~~~~~~
Also, everyone please show a warm welcome to the new members, who are not new in any other way shape or form. Experienced peoples from the otherworld that is 2+2, they are.
Show some Org spirit and be nice. Nice meaning not in the sarcastic sense, either. :stare:
Remember, I can spam-o-matic you people back to the stone age in a blatant and flagrant abuse of power.
Andres isn't looking, is he?
Welcome, new people from 2+2! ~:wave:
Askthepizzaguy is awesome! ~:wave:
A beautiful oil painting.
He is clearly the blue one on the right....
:hide:
Once we get to 45 VIPs I'm going to reserve the final 5 slots for premium VIP seating.
Chair exists for Diana Abnoba, Diamondeye, Renata, Romanichine, and another empty seat for anyone else I consider to be my special guest, and can't get in the game otherwise.
If those chairs don't fill, they will be open when the game is about to begin for those who are late to the party.
Well I do deeply apologize about that, let's see where you are from.

Ok, so the first gruesome casualty of this game was johnhughthom, and it happened before the game even started.
That's a new record!

Conglaturation, you are winnar.
I think in this context it matters far more which site he first started playing mafia at, not which site he first joined. But you probably already know that.
This not a mafia game Zack. I was only introducing people based on where they were from, not where they played mafia. Which should be irrelevant in a non-mafia game.
But you probably already knew that.
Don't cover for john, it's about time I nailed him. I got him right in the secret shame this time! *DING*
Well, looks like I may have persuaded Diana Abnoba to join this game. Which I've been gunning for for two months now.

Point me to a single man on the list that has never slain another in combat. These are hard men, warriors bred to battle in open fields, not to slink through shadows as they do now.Quote:
Point me to a single player on the list that has never played a game of mafia. These are mafia players.
:inquisitive:
I've never played mafia. I have played a superior game called werewolf though. ;)
Also, no need to be nice to me, since I probably won't be nice to you....at first.
CFC FTW!
Pfft, join date? Post count would be a better indicator, or the fact that this place decided to grant me a member status I didn't want or ask for. The org clearly loves me.
your nonpride bothers me Johnhughtom Yo will never experience a site such as TWC, the best a man can get.
