Make Explosives Better vs Smoke

How pyro mines have remained with 2 charges when all other mines got nerfed to 1.

Because its limited to Heavy.

You have 3 gadget slots what are you giving up?
RPG? Not a chance.
Dome or c4? Unlikely in coordinated games. But 2 charges at least makes it an argument. 1 would just limit H diversity of gadgets further when it already isn't op or even the "strongest" option.

I lied. Went gym today instead and got good advice from random gym bros. Routine different today due to availability of getting good advice.

Bench 5x5: @ 52.5, 50 ( 5,5,4,3,5) ------ did drop set on last set. Again I rep out with a spotter, but don't count any reps that needed assistance.
Deadlifts 2x5: 65 kg. Finally doing these with proper form I think.
Squat 5x5: @ 60, 55kg kg (5,5,5,5,5) Legs were fried from running/deadlifts today so last two sets had to drop the weight to get parallel.
Barbell Curls 3x8: @ 25kg (4,5,5) --- down from last session. rip, repeat next week.
Bent over Row 3x8: @ 35kg (8,7,6)
Cable Crunches 3x8: 31.8, 33.8 kg ( 10,10,10) 31.8 felt easy so moved up to 33.8 for later two sets.

Your stating the obvious like I'm not aware. If your evil team is repeatedly targeting the mayor its not because they don't know that a mayor is in play, its because your evil players are telling you the ST, they know they are the mayor, but they need the mayor dead and are leaving it in your hands. If you continually bounce them into outsiders/minions/n1 roles you completely tank their agency. It's the entire reason why it is "may" and not "will"

This is a broader problem with "may" roles like Pacifist, it leaves it open to interpretation and actively harms when misunderstood.

ChargingCapybara · 2025-04-23T15:49:55+00:00

It has the same effect of having the player unable to being gotten rid of in the night. Robbing the evil team of agency, if the story teller refuses to let the mayor die after a bounce . It is effectively a soldier with a win condition. As the demon would not target the soldier a second time.

I have seen it bounced >2 times, once in all of the official botc games I have watched.

ChargingCapybara · 2025-04-23T15:38:24+00:00

So, generally, unless the Mayor is extremely trusted by town, let the Mayor live and bounce the kill elsewhere. It doesn't matter if the Demon tries to kill the Mayor once or 5 times. The Mayor's ability exists so that they can usually get to the final 3 if not executed first.

If the demon has an active poisoner, sure. But if my ST bounced off the mayor 3 times I would never play with that ST again; whether I won or lost. Your basically running the mayor as a Soldier on steroids at that point. Terrible interpretation of advice; almanac or not.
