To Tranq...or not to tranq...that is the question

Howdy...decided to make my first official post a poll to see how good Cainan is 
When given the option to do so ( Mime Maps )...do you see better results from Glueing and Shooting, or Tranquing and Shooting?
Notay de Zule!!!! ( I wish I could figure out what they are saying )

[gorf] Just realized the Poll was closed, opened her back up

Re:To Tranq...or not to tranq...that is the question
I like to glue and shoot.
Because sometimes you get a whole bunch of those suckers at one time.
Glueing and Shooting
Ichose glueing and shooting well pretty much because of what mel said but uh, sometimes its harder cause you gotsta swich weapons!
tranq 'em, and let Cainan sort 'em out!!!
i like to use the tranq,
Its a challenge to see how far i can get before they catch on.
not to mention its an easy way to cap the snipers.
Re:To Tranq...or not to tranq...that is the question
I happen to think the poll is flawed. You left out Electric Charges
. While it takes three of them to kill a mime it is the all out best way to do! Glue is second and The Tommy gun third. Unlike the Pros here, i'm not sutle enough for the tranqs.
I got your flawed pole right here!
Was that never pee on a burning dog or pet an electric fence? Or burn your dog while your peeing on an electric fence or do the electric slide while your eating a hot dog?
Im so confused

Gorf, Honey I'm just trying to look out for ya. I've seen what can happen (had to pay someone $20 for the pleasure
) and it's not nice. And if you really want to be careful don't blow dry your hair while taking a bath. It takes the curls out of it. 
"Shocking" Posts
OK Flora...I think I got it now....dont play with your dog in the bathtub unless its curly hair is on fire?
And Im not sure exactly what you paid $20 for...but Im starting to profile you..and its lookin scary!

I haven't really tried the charges too frequently. You should try combining them with the glue, because you can get lucky and stick two or three of them with one shot. Then you can use the charges or whatever to eliminate them one by one.
My favorite is the tranq, because it takes out the third floor atrium snipers (they fall forward over railing to their death) and because it causes neighbors to try to wake their fallen mates. The glue and charges don't usually bait other mimes into giving you a free shot like this. A sniper rifle does though
I know Cainan will back me up on this: when using the automatic weapons, short bursts tend to keep the enemy busy and do more damage than long streams of bullets. I read somewhere that the engine counts each long stream as a single hit. I think that's an oversimplification but the short bursts definitely seem more effective, and they often make the mimes stop firing.

The short bursts are also WAYYYY more accurate. The physics in this game cause the more powerful guns to ride up higher the longer you squeeze the trigger. Head to head, Ill kill a mime faster with a few short controlled bursts to the head than someone with a heavy mouse finger.

Kicking it back to the top of the pile since I opened up the Poll again
Re:To Tranq...or not to tranq...that is the question
Tranq-shooting rules. It's quiet, so you don't attract unnecessary attention. And it's fun... The things they say when the fall asleep. Heehee.
Re:To Tranq...or not to tranq...that is the question
Something alot of people online also forget is that Easy or Superspy, 1 hit with a tranq and down they go
Why enemies take less bullets to waste when unconcious is somewhat of a mystery to me though...
*edit: Dangit, I have accidently bumped up an ancient topic. Excuse me while I beat myself viciously*
TRANQS!!!
I think tranqs are the best basically because they last longer than glue bombs.
Glue bombs last for like a minute and tranqs last for 3 or 2 i think 
.Anyways glue bombs dont come with a utilit launcher.
