Are fucking bullshit. Seriously, 50 juice lost? That's more than I get raiding the Gentlemen's Club 4 times. Also, maxing out persuasion, psychology, etc? Does nothing, you still lose 50 juice. This way if you have a 1-man murder squad, you lose the second you come in contact with a news anchor. Fucking infuriating.

I personally think that at 13 psychology and 10 persuasion, if the News Anchor tried that on you you'd debate him so fucking hard he'd go into the fetal position and cry about being so damn wrong.

[Rezan]

I kind of do agree there. The Conservatives are much too efficient at taking out Juice; and I don't really know what you can defend against it with.

I think religion, science, persuasion and psychology should play in on the defence (depending on who you're attacking, but psychology and persuasion should always be part of it).

Oh, and the only way to "win" that with; is to have a full squad which takes him/her out faster than they can attack. I've never really lost much juice, considering my squads are always trained to the point that Special Forces would pale in comparison, and they always strike first, but I can see how it's a problem if you're unwilling to play like a sneaky, evil bastard.

Jesus is, well, Jesus. 17 tactics makes him completely unhittable but talking attacks can't miss, so...

[Rezan]

Step One: Find a sharp, relatively thin object such as a stick.

Step Two: Grip said object firmly.

Step Three: Stab it into your ears (one ear at a time).

You are now completely immune to all Talk Attacks!

[E. Albright]

Step Four: lose your entire squad to hubris and an Arch Conservative Simultaneous Sign Language Interpreter/News Anchor... or worse still, the dreaded Arch Conservative Mime.

Mime glares reproachfully on behalf of the silent majority!
Che remains strong.

Mime becomes entangled in infrared tape!
Che remains strong.

Mime is guided by the Invisible Hand!
Che becomes Wiser!
Che asks for guidance.

Mime reenacts Reagan's invasion of Grenada!
Che becomes Wiser!
Che searches for the truth.

Mime rides an invisible boat as it is floated by a rising tide!
Che becomes Wiser!
Che tears up.

Mime is trapped in an invisible Welfare State!
Che becomes Wiser!
Che begins to weep.

Mime heroically walks against wind of Liberal taxation!
Che is turned Conservative!

C - Reflect on your Conservative ineptitude.

Which of course would be countered with the Elite Liberal Clown.

Dear God, I need to find a mime to recruit.  What site are they in?

[E. Albright]

No Mimes are currently in the game, (un?)fortunately...

(Let's see, they'd need Persuasion, Stealth, and Disguise for skills, and would be found in the park, right? )

Hmm, and to put entirely too much thought into this, they'd not be able to Talk during site actions, and the more-common-but-still-rare Moderate and Liberal Mimes would be able to be found in any public place when Free Speech goes Arch Conservative. Yeeeeees...

[Karlito]

You can take debaters hostage, which stops them from attacking you.

[Rezan]

If I'm not mistaken, you can't do that to Corporate CEOs..

Who crumbles before the Conservative might of the Arch-Conservative Clown.

I like the way you think.  However, they should be able to "talk," but instead of talking they mime whatever they would be saying.

So, basically, mimes are like other Arch-Conservatives but they aren't necessary Conservative when encountered.  Thus their "debate" attack should be no more powerful than a guitar attack (which probably already trumps debate attacks once your skill is high).  Also, as sleepers they should act as weak cultural sleepers, along the lines of a writer with a writing skill of 1.

[Rezan]

And here I was thinking the Arch-Conservative Clown was Bill O'Reilly...

[Virroken]

Mime drops a pickup line.

Mime mimes,
"I have a genital rash.  Will you rub this ointment on me?"

I was thinking more along the lines of unique lines rather than "mimes <insert existing line here>."  Sort of like guard dogs barking and whatever.

"Sounds like a great idea. I'll bring my frat buddies."
