Huh, that was my 1001st post, I feel I should have celebrated somehow.

What are the likely abilities of the scum Dp101? I've never played XCOM...

You must remedy this at once.

If it's on sale, I'll consider it.

Steam sale is on, everything is on sale.

I went over this during N1, but essentially, we probably killed either a roleblocker or strongman, the Specialist will probably have a doctoring or rolecop ability, Sharpshooter might be vig or tracker, and Ranger was almost certainly the dayvig.

What? All you need is a DOSBox.

Why are you so certain that there are four of them? Somehow everybody's buying Monty's story about numbers of roles when already the number of ADVENT Troopers doesn't match his claims.

Because there are 4 basic soldier classes. There can be any number of advent troopers, they are a very generic grunt unit, but thematically based on manasi's flip it would make sense for all 4 of the classes to be paired with roles.

Playing with DOSBox is garbage, just use OpenXCOM.

Advent are town, independent of scum roles. As I Said, there must be either 4 mafia and 1 neutral, or 3 mafia and 1 hostile 3p, which is about the same thing. Right now 4 scum hypo is the most plausible and acknowledged default.

We'll have to see after the flips.

One thing at a time. First the original, then the revamped version. It is not our fault that Csargo did not play it back in the days of DOS, so we had better lead him through it gently.

So you think it's possible there are two scum with 1x vigs?

No, the analysis of each class's abilities was done in a vacuum. I think the Ranger is the most likely dayvig, which pits the sharpshooter at an unlikely tracker. I really don't know what they might be able to do.

A tracker might make sense. It'd help them pinpoint town roles.

Barto, Bsmith flipping scum clears Cuth better than novice flipping scum.

Why don't we flip BSmith today, and see if novice flips tonight? He's publicly poisoned!

Claims, content, spew: everything right now points to Bsmith now, novice (if necessary) later.

I don't see any Psi-Ops soldiers there.

[Montmorency]

Cuth lock town

Aaaaand rip my predictions, I was not expecting the fifth class to appear, given that it has to be unlocked via tech rather than being available at the start like all the rest of the classes. I don't feel confident any more in trying to guess at the scum roles.

Explain plz

[El Barto]

See #1904, Monty.

[Dp101]

Explain plz

There are 4 basic classes in XCOM 2, Grenadier, Sharpshooter, Ranger, and Specialist. However, once you have researched the right technologies, you unlock a fifth, the psi-operative, which you can turn rookies into via a special building. I discounted them as a role because it would make more sense for the 4 regular classes to be represented, since 4 is a not-unusual size for a scum team. Apparently I was wrong, and we could be dealing with any number. I refuse to consider 5 scum.
