Skanky, your EQ is clearly not high enough

Who was it that eliminated Jaguar?

Day 15

The day where nothing happened.

...has yet to come. Today, Ljube decided to return the favour that Snoopy had been sending him every day for four consecutive days.

Snoopy chose the wrong time to be secretive. He thought the danger had passed. He was wrong. In fact, it was him who had passed, passed on that is.

Ljube sent 2 nukes to Snoopy destroying Pocco Rosso and eliminated him from the game.

Everyone else was watching silently from afar.

Ah well, well played Ljube ... though why you weren't targetted instead of (or alongside) me I have no clue

I think next NW, we need to drastically cut down on the allowed specials - at minimum 2 and 2, perhaps 2 and 1 or 1 and 1. People spend too long building up and not killing each other

[Ljube]

I wasn't targeted because all remaining players are my buddy buddies.

You're buddies with EVENTS?

2 things.

Firstly, I'll be away this weekend, hopefully getting engaged. Hence, there'll be no updates Friday->Sunday.

Secondly, I was thinking about this:

How about next time, we have everyone start with 3 bunkers and 3 spys, but unable to build any more of either, as well as 5 bases and a full stockpile. That would severly curtail the boring startgame, as well as increasing tactics as the specials would be more limited. The order allowed then change to:
build base
stockpile nukes
send spy
use bunker
deflect to
send nukes
I think it's also worth thinking about changing the deflection order as currently is far inferior to bunker or simply sending nukes to your intended target. Perhaps it deflects 2 out of 3 nukes?

A few hours left btw.

Ljube is actually the head of the Eventine Conspiracy.

Deflect should be immune from spying. That should make it more powerful.

Or perhaps Deflect should deflect spies too .

[Ljube]

That's a great idea, but I think it would make deflect way too powerful.
