Hello, I decided to write a mini guide for staying anonymous with para. There are a few things you can do early on that reduces the chances that you will be suspected. Killing the contained paras and, if captain, targeting brown can help. Also, if you have a general strategy when playing human that you use almost every game, people who play with you alot will notice when you do something out of the ordinary, have different items, etc. For this reason, try to use fairly similar items and keep strange behaviour to a minimum. Two of the best parasite players I have seen are deepee and bsw. Both of these players lie low and play subtely when playing para. However, deepee is uncharactaristically quiet when playing a parasite, and bsw refrains from tking as much as usual. In these ways even good paras have telltale signs. But how do you figure out someone who you haven't played with before? A few tricks can be used. Firstly, accuse them of being the para, but in a way that sounds like it could be simply a joke. If people aren't the parasite, they generally reply with 'lol' or ':P' or the like. When playing the parasite, however, the tendency is to deny it. Also, evolving is the time when most parasites are caught out. If you evolve at a time where the other humans all have company, you will be discovered. If someone sees you while evolving, the same occurs. Pick an inconspicuous hiding place while evolving. Contrary to popular beleif, a ship is NOT a good place. Anyone could see you destroy the cameras, and a good ai will simply scan the ship and find out who you are. Barracading a door is a good idea, as long as you can get a good excuse for it. Finnaly, minispawns. Minispawns are the brown colour paras, which you make from destroying blockades. These are massively helpful, as few suits/ais are good against multiple enemies, and few humans carry around cleansers to get rid of infection. If you can trap someone between a mental para and a minispawn army, theyre generally screwed. However, it is easy to be found when attempting to destroy a blockade. Using bombs is a big nono, as it kills minispawns for the duration of the fire. Instead, use a sigma vial to hide your identity, or the beetle vials, to destroy the camera that monitors the targeted blockade, and destroy it by hand. Anything else anyone wants to add? |

lol it's true.. i am almost always quiet when i play para.. i am just too busy doing para things. >< but i can also be quiet playing as ai/human. ![]() I have two tiny details to add: if you use a vial to destroy a blockade, especially the odesa beetle one, if you dont use all charges, drop it. if people find out a containment was destroyed by beetles are your walking around with a beetle vial with a charge used, they can generally put 2 and 2 together. and also, on minispawns, if you want oxy/power off, save yourself time and the risk of being found out and just send little spawns. this is handy when evolving. another thing to remember about mini spawns... or not so mini spawns, is that while most minispawns cant attack buildings, the final stage of minispawns... gargaunt-blabla can, this is one of the best ways of destroying containments, blood tester, auto doc and the AIs RSM without being found out/ putting yourself at risk, you could always use a bomb, but theres always a chance people will see you, especially with the RSM.

The one problem i generally find with the fully evolved ones, besides their speed, is the fact that like 2 of them uses all your food o.O |

Ugh, rsm takes sooo long to kell, and simply sell odesa vial. And i use teh uber odesa blink to get ur blockades hurr. And I tk to much? Hah, most of the time I go at the start LOL HURR IM PARA NOOBS IMA NOT USE CONTAINMENT PARAZ UNLeSS U TARG ME KAY????!!!1?! Also, make sure that you keep in proximity to gadget vendor when people are near power, God help those who die to being tracked while the power is off. And try not to use stealth glac maverick acid standard or ripper, you wanna use suits that have no para nerfs or ones that are not noticable. Say Hydro or antimatter(Not sure if the etheral gets bluffed for para) Also medic and nukelar recive no nerfs! |

I know about the stealth nerf, but what are the others? Also, uber odesa blink? o.O Also, yeah, you tk alot ![]() Also, in case you ever DO want to bomb something anonymously, it's a good idea to go para form and drop any telltale items such as card or disruption suit. Also, people can be found out even if they get rid of their unique items simply because they dont shuffle their inventory. And finnaly, always, ALWAYS go mental.
