Those mime lines are so awesome I felt myself become wiser just reading them.

And what would you have us do?  Engage in an "I hate debate attacks" circle-jerk?  It seems to me the conversation flowed fairly naturally in the direction of mimes as a new debate attacker.

New pantomime attacker you mean.

It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

Well I like debate attackers. They did convert one of my men during my first playthrough, but the idea of having people being able to resist by talking sounds fun. I think they are balanced already, just kill them if you want to keep your juice.

The whole killing them argument doesn't really work with police negotiators.  It alienates the masses if you even punch another cop when they're looking, which makes it a tricky affair.

True, but I'd chalk that up to making the game harder as society turns more Liberal. Since police negotiators are effective at taking out crime, you should have to deal with the consquences.

Kill them anyway. Alienate the masses, even the Liberals. You'll do some damage, but you'd hopefully be able to rebuild the trust later on.

EDIT: Or, on second thought, you could just try to run.

Get some debate attackers of your own. Liberal Judges are pretty good at this, with the added bonus of high Law and moderate Writing skills.

Hm. I didn't know juice loss turns your men into a baby. Then I guess you should have found out after the first few turns of crying, and then run.

That's not the point. I have to murder 25 conservatives to get juice back after one attack. And it's impossible to miss or defend against, and you have a 1/3 chance of not getting hit. At minimum, I'll lose 100 juice. Not fair at fucking all.

Jeezus, the game is the easiest it's ever been as long as I've been playing and you are still complaining about it being too hard.  Debaters aren't that hard, you are just determinedly using the worst possible strategy against them.  Things you can easily do:

1) Not sending in a lone liberal when you know there's debaters around.
2) Run away if you can't win a fight.
3) Don't use murder as your primary juice gain route.
4) Take debaters hostage before they can attack.

People keep trying to give you advice and you keep saying "STFU, this is so hard!"
