    Yeah, I have an annoying long list of questions about how a unit would be capable of moving in a game of battleship considering all of the various utility uses and other ways it could possibly be used...
  2. Shade939
    I thought he had placed vote sooner than that, but a 4 hour gap isn't that big a period to be AFK in.
  3. Shade939
    He would have been sabotaging his own objective in that case, which would definitely throw me off if he did do that.
  4. Shade939
    Here's when Voe's vote was cast for reference.
  5. Shade939
    Based on when they voted, I would go with Voe to be the more likely of the pair to be Town. But that's mainly because he didn't change his vote on JackoDerp and I doubt he'd basically leave a vote on a Scum teammate before going AFK.
  6. Shade939
    They both lynched JackoDerp in what was a rather close vote.
  7. Shade939
    One problem though.
  8. Shade939
    Yeah, it's not a very fun role to have when you can easily wind up helping Scum win the game based on practically nothing more than RNG.
  9. Shade939
    It could still easily be my least favorite role to have in the game. I'd basically call it a negatively neutral role in terms of what it's ability does in game for Town. It's probably somewhere around there with a Bodyguard role that can only die instead of another player.
  10. Shade939
    There's only one thing you can do, try to do some preliminary scouting before the airfield is discovered, and then try to outgun Scum with superior firepower. Also, at that point it's likely that Verti would reinstate the quadrant reveal mechanic to help narrow down who's firing from where.
  11. Shade939
    And that's my biggest complaint about the Spy Plane's role if it reveals tiles, it's ability is likely to lead to it's elimination from the game itself. And yet the only time when we should need it's ability is after it should be eliminated from the game, and we can't lynch players so we have to shoot them instead.
  12. Shade939
    At the moment, we have a single players claim that they received a message to the effect that the Spy Plane is responsible for that action, until you're role is proven or validated by other players, there are some doubts if you aren't making that claim up. But when you have Jeod, Category 5, Voe, and yourself claiming to be informed of unusual events that occurred during the night, I'm not really inclined to dispute your claim or think you're making it up. Also, your claim was made after my claim you know.
  13. Shade939
    There are multiple things in game pointing to the fact that not everything is a valid target for the NK, some of which is the fact that Depth Charges usually don't work as well on land.
  14. Shade939
    On the other hand, if that is the NK, I've now made things much more difficult for Scum to freely use that ability to scout around, and made everyone aware of the possibility if it turns out to be true.
  15. Shade939
    KY, my entire claim that the Scouting action is the NK instead should be incredibly easy for the Spy Plane to disprove if that's it's ability, and if anything I'm pointing out how they're sabotaging the Airfield by using their ability as they are?
  16. Shade939
    It's one of those balancing issues that'll need to be addressed later on. Revealing tiles on them map is only really useful for proving that a player is there and letting them use submerge, or letting everyone shoot at a player at those coordinates. The later which the Spy Plane seems to be more focused on.
  17. Shade939
    What else would use an ability to reveal tiles on the map for though? It's honestly more of a scummy ability than it is a town aligned one.
  18. Shade939
    You wouldn't be focusing on filling in the map, and spacing your action out so it'll effectively eliminate any hiding place for the Airfield. If anything, you should be directing it at confirming players locations so we can validate if they are telling the truth about where they are, one very effective use of the role would have been to target Jeod's coordinates since no one shot at them yet, and so no one would need to waste a shot on that area and a player's role could at least be semi confirmed.
  19. Shade939
    If you had an ability to reveal four tiles in a cross section on the map, what would you choose to focus on scouting first?
  20. Shade939
    No, I'll insist on the fact it's a good theory, but I don't think it's how it actually works reviewing what was said in some of the initial rule posts. I would argue that the NK functioning as scout/killing action would be a better mechanic for it in a battleship themed game though. And I'll still point out that the Spy Plane has basically eliminated the Airfield's position from about half of the map now...
  21. Shade939
    Taking several facts together Orange, I find it more likely that the Spy Plane has a different action to scout the map, and that scum are trying to present the NK as scouting action instead.
  22. Shade939
    If shooting a tile won't reveal the unit type in it, then I don't scouting that tile is going to do so either.
  23. Shade939
    That would differentiate between detected land and detected ocean still, and reveal unit/weapon types. So no, no it wouldn't be that easy.
  24. Shade939
    Also, it's not land or sea Orange, its' a detected unit.
  25. Shade939
    Or should I say N0?
