[Day/Night Game] Trouble on the Citadel - round "LE Part 2: Why Cerberus Is Right For You"

Well all, I hate to do this but I'm going to have to leave this to sit until tomorrow evening my time. I know it's already dragged on but its late for me and I'm in no shape to write up a coherent narrative.

Besides, Moonae has not had much of a chance to defend herself, and is apparently in Europe also, so I feel we should give her a chance to speak up.

Good night all.

That's exactly opposite to me. I can play DA (especially Origins) on anything higher than easy or normal at most. I think there are just too many options for every class and I spread the points too thin. Or I can't play strategically enough. But on ME I can get through on veteran or hardcore, with my favourite class  

Sigh. I figured this would happen. It's why I tried looking for legitimate reasons to explain my behavior. You know, to hide the fact that I wasn't in control? (I want to stay in the game! ) But I couldn't find much real reason to vote for pela other than "Tittus said so", so that fell apart pretty quickly.


I'll admit that it's no the strongest case. I was reading through a few days (I think?) worth of post all at once, after the fact, when I myself already had some distance to the situation and had it mostly figured out in my head. A lot of those post of yours were written just after it all went down, so the confusion is understandable. It just struck me 'cause I had just read adonniel's (at the time) recent post about how we shouldn't assume Tittus definitely had investigated her. And then I went back and read your post, most of which were either assuming or questioning whether gervaise had been investigated. As I said, these were written earlier on, and your opinion seemed to change somewhat over time, but it still stood out to me.

Especially since even back then, when it was happening in real time, your post were probably one of the bigger reasons I kept being confused for as long as I did. Yes, Tittus's behavior made no sense, but I started putting the pieces together. Then you came along with a otherwise thoughtful and analytical response in which you also kept talking about gervaise, and it put me back on square one in my assessment. I though "well, if she thinks this, then I must've missed something". And it makes sense for the other spies to try and distract from adonniel.

Again, I figured my vote on pela would expose me which would lead to me being voted off and I wanted to contribute SOMETHING to the discussion. Even if that something isn't the best argument. So I took that observation I made while reading through the posts, even though I myself had started to see the cracks in it before I even got to the end, and I wrote it down. It's a game about throwing accusations at each other after all.



Also, I sometimes write on my phone where gender icons are not visible, and I haven't had time to memorize everybody's pronouns. Sorry about that.

The only time I went for hard difficulty was for ME2. The Arrival DLC had me crimping fingers at one point; I'm sure those who have played knows where. It wouldn't have mattered if femShep went down early but dang, I wasn't about to let those goons walked over her. So I tried like five times, trying to figure out the best location to make the stand. It was a satisfactory feeling when femShep outlast the countdown.

Although the combat movement and biotic combos were a vast improvement in ME3, I never tried it on hard difficulty. I only did one PT initially and never touched it again until MEHEM came along and polished up properly. So it was two (maybe) years later that I did another PT for ME3. It's a little hard for me to replay ME3 because there're stupid parts in it (besides the ending) that make me smoke at the ears.

I went through Insanity on all three games. The best advice I can give regarding combat is use cover often and pick squad mates that can take down shields,barriers, or armor quickly, depending on the enemy. Speaking of which, try to be aware about the enemies you're fighting against. If you're fighting geth, squad mates with powers like Overload or A.I hacking are good picks, etc.

Also upgrade often and investing in heavy weapons and ammo can save you in some cases. If you're on Normal or Easy difficulty, I would stick with a balanced team, depending on your Shepard's class. So let's say you're a vanguard. In that case, I would choose another biotic/combat hybrid like Jacob along with a tech squadmate. Or I would go with a biotic/tech hybrid, like Miranda, along with a tech/combat hybrid.

Which parts make you mad? (Put them in spoiler tags for adonniel and fylimar, I suppose.)

ME3 may be my favorite of the trilogy, but I never had to play without extended cut.

I didn't really want to reveal that I was Diana. She's useless and likely to be voted off even as a good guy. I thought if I could find some reason to vote for someone it would seem, well, like I had a reason to vote for them, rather than just veing Diana. Admittedly it would put my fellow heroes in a tough spot if I could argue well against someone who might potentionally be a good guy (which is why Diana is likely to get voted off even as a good guy), but I usually have a bit of a "every man for himself"-mentality with this game. The way I've played it in the past eliminated players aren't allowed to participate anymore. So going out early is never fun. I realize the rules are diferent here, but old habits die hard, I guess. 

I can't speak for the rest of the players, but dragon and I wouldn't have voted for you if you hinted as Diana at first and romice's behavior and vote would have been the same.
I personally would rather place my vote on someone suspicious than to vote for someone who's role isn't helpful but their behavior seems like a genuine Hero.

I'm still suspicious, especially after the events of the Skyhold game! You were very convincing, and you make a good case right now. But I'm still not so sure about switching. If another player or two are swayed before time runs out is willing to vote for romice, I MIGHT join. 

ETA: I'm currently not swayed enough to switch my vote, but if another player or two is swayed and makes a convincing case for Moonae, I MIGHT switch to romice.


Infiltrator is different, but fun if you like setting people on fire, sniper rifles, and going invisible.
You can still take Miranda and other hybrids with you in this class. The squadmates I take with me the least as infiltrator is probably the full tech squad mates.

Ok Garrus, whoever you are, it's showtime. GET ADONNIEL, dammit.

Ha Heroes are doomed this round.
