Ok I've had enough of this.

The debate begins.

State your arguement if your for or against the blood testers role in parasite.

For.

The Blood Tester adds plot to the game, and a good parasite can kill BT without people knowing.

For example, I had disruption suit and I explored the right side of the room with the bomb vendor next to the BT.

I went into the BT with a bomb, I noticed Blue heading towards me with the beacon I jabbed into him earlier. I went and placed the bomb right next to BT and went down near the cam, Deto'd the bomb.

I got "O.O" and "crap" from the humans, and blue said "I'll check it" so I used Warp and jumped into the bomb room. I ran up towards the passage near the enterance to the BT where blue and green were, uttered "See anyone come out?" and got the reply..."No, sneaky para must of remote bombed."

Green replied "Maybe it wasn't Para?"

Comon, lets here your opinions.

I want to know why you hate it?

Well, if the para (or anyone else for that matter) destroyes it before anyone uses it, all is fine...
But if not, people test to prove it's not them, thus ruining the game.
It's like playing hide and seek with tracking beacons on all the hiders.
Once everyone knows your para any competent players will group up. Since 2 people can pwn either tier 1 or tier 2 mental with no spawns (dunno about phys, but thats boring anyay) para doesnt have much fun.

Personally, I destroy the BT in whichever game im in wether im the parasite or not. Sure, it makes the game last alot longer, but thats half the fun! Plus, people use the excuse that they tested to prove they arent para for the rest of the game which can screw up the game if they turn out to be a spawn later on.
My main beef is that it eliminates thinking from the game, and that the para is pretty much locked into a single-minded goal of destroying the BT before it becomes available. After that, everyone starts testing and blowing it up will reveal you as the para.

I also refuse to test on ethical grounds, wether im human or para, which of course makes everyone jump to the conclusion that im the parasite, thus giving the real cerb a free reign.

I don't like the bt because if the parasite is a noob he wont know to kill the bt.. at least if the bt is destroyed before hand the para will have a chance to learn the game and so forth.
Where as if everyone just tests ASAP he will get killed and basically learn nothing :\

Also, i have been in games where a group (usually 2 humans and AI) "guard" the bt from the word go until they can use it, giving the parasite no chance no destroy it at all.

BT FTL

What he means is me and some sheepish noob protect the BT XD.

Seriously the other day, dugong5 attempted to kill the BT twice, failing both times. The entire station hammered him as he was running out of the BT room and killed him (The Celebrate) GGing the game.

Second time, Dugong is A.I. I think to myself "Good, he wouldn't kill the BT." Just to be safe I PUT A BOMB in the BT room, but not close enough to kill it. Sure enough, Dugong rolls in on tank, goes into siege mode and bombards the BT. "Crap I think", I deto the bomb and a rock chunk lands on him (CRUNCH), I'm there faster then Speed Racer (saw it the other day >.>) and I nick his chip. Dugongs going crazy "WHERE'S MY ****ING CHIP?!?!?" while blue's interegating ppl. To teach Dugong a lesson once and for all I drop his chip in the Power Generator.

Now I thought after "Yeah that was harsh" so I head back to power gen, where greys got sentry drones blasting the gen. DG runs into the room "OMG GREY!!" and shreds the drones. Dugong gets pissed off thinking I did it and leaves.

Lawl I think it was ipeeonyourface but, Dugong apparently said "This Clan is ****ing messed up" to him, and logs off.

Interesting story, Shows how much I hate BTTKers because they aren't helping the humans at all.
Funny though that I guessed that Dugong was Alien first time >:D

i feel safe with the tester, after every1 has tested, its solid proof for humaness until about 10 mins later, easier to narrow down

Sigh.
I can't wait until DSG brings out the version where you can choose to have no BT.
then this debate will be over :P

A status report which lasts about 4.3 seconds....

It takes about that long for some noob to become a spawn.
