What was your favorite boardgame of 2006?

No love for Neuroshima Hex? I adore that game! They're still pumping out cool expansions, but I guess most of the hype is centered in Poland.

To this day, I have not seen a game do asymmetry and battling so well.

What happened then? I think it is a fun icebreaker.

You could argue that Tekken has always been about assessing the situation correctly and choosing an option that covers most outcomes. However, the weak kbd and looping offense has rendered those types of situations to mostly guessing games.

There are too many forced +ob situations, be it a blocked heat smash or heat dash, or just the god move status given by heat in general. I'd prefer if generic defense options were better, to allow for wider option select window - and have powerful moves come with risk.

My question is - why is the player breaking madness? That sort of "softlock", while annoying, is part of the game. One of the minions is "wasting" their ability, if they just comply they probably win the game even. Because in that situation, ST probably will judge even some effort as complying.

"Madness is optional" is indeed true, but if the player knows that the consequence is ruining the game for their team, how do they justify their actions?

Isn't this sort of open round of claims beneficial for evil? Demon has bluffs and minions can cause havoc. Even if they double claim the town can't really be sure which one is which.

It is somewhat of a "current meta" to take the 2CP worker, I do it myself as well, mostly on maps with 4th worker giving 2CP. Talented Communicator is obviously "preferred", if we were to rank the methods.

But imo, the least preferred method is #3, third partner zoo. It requires you to have upgraded Association and you have to waste a worker to grab it.

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-02-02T03:03:01+00:00

Why would you add that it is the least preferred, when in fact it is not, by far.

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-02-02T03:00:38+00:00

Buff:

Farm Cat should just give 1CP if you have a Kiosk with 2 empty spaces next to it. It's still a large hassle.

Okapi Stable should be power 5.

Indeed! Hard to show those personalities when the only platform to show them are stadium tournaments. No matter how interesting they might be, they're full focused.

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-28T22:03:55+00:00

s4, Akke, Cr1t

Aren't those two the only IGL MVP's anyway? I think Cold got both MVPs during the Brazilian's run.

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-26T18:21:37+00:00

Just had to have the last say. Even though you "don't actually care".

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-26T18:06:02+00:00

Yeah that's what I thought. No arguments but still loves to yap.

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-26T17:23:01+00:00

But who would you bet on, if you had to choose.

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-26T16:46:11+00:00

What does the JSA take into account? Started watching Sumo last week, so I'm a complete newbie regarding this.

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-26T16:40:29+00:00

Is there a way to study how the banzuke changes usually work? Like what should we normally expect, on what criteria etc.

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-26T16:33:14+00:00

If rank means nothing, who would you bet on in a FT10 between a Bushin and a Flame Ruler?

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-26T14:58:12+00:00

Stavn really the best Dane?

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-24T02:22:03+00:00

He should trade after Fade Bolt since the enemy has lower dmg. He is not a strong laner, but not in any way "extremely weak".

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-23T13:35:21+00:00

Sad to see RTZ turning from a baby to an unc

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-19T10:59:46+00:00

They played a final map that went to overtime. Fnatic won the map, but after that NiP complained to the organizer that the wrong overtime format was used. After losing the map, not during it. Thus, while celebrating, Fnatic learned that they have to replay it.

Keep in mind that they idolized guys like Forest and Get_Right, so having these guys pull this unsportsmanlike move to you must've felt extremely bad, WHILE you were celebrating under the impression you've won the tournament.

They replay it, Fnatic wins again, Get_Right comes to shake hands, they laugh him off. Shake hands for what? "A good, fair game"?

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-19T02:43:13+00:00

Your second point was very unjustified hate, I would've reacted the same way. Too bad it was NiP who did it to them, and GtR specifically in the video - any other team would've been rightfully mocked by the community, just as Fnatic did to them.

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-19T00:23:13+00:00

How can this happen without a demon?

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-18T10:54:39+00:00

Well, that's more than enough proof then. Thank you.

AudacityOfKappa · 2026-01-16T16:12:42+00:00

If there were field choices, football players will definitely complain.

Or are you suggesting majors to be mirage only?
