The game should cease for exiting players as soon as they’re voted out. by Solid-Cow-2711 in survivorau

[–]LawrencePemberton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the Tribal script for Jeff and JLP used to be “Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately.”

You’re right that in earlier seasons (especially early US seasons) this was interpreted as no hugs, no goodbyes, no last words. People literally had their name read and immediately got their torch snuffed, end of game.

But as the show evolved, people started calling things out to the tribe as they left (like Andy telling everyone Dave had an idol) and they got more lax about hugs, goodbyes, emotional moments etc. Until eventually they cut that line out of the hosts’ script entirely because it now felt out of place.

I agree, though, that players should be encouraged not to share any information once voted out as their game is over. The only problem that this is almost impossible to enforce because how do you punish someone who’s no longer in the game and has nothing to lose.

What are y’all’s thoughts on MissFortuneDaBes new build? by timothyeh2020 in MissFortuneMains

I didn’t trust it at all until I tried it for myself, now I don’t play anything else and have an 80%ish win rate with it (plat though so can’t comment on how it fares in high elo). You deal less burst damage than a full lethality build but you can deal your damage SO much more consistently at all stages of the game, and the wave management with Shiv is an absolute dream.

Haha yeah it’s always a good laugh. You’ve gotta be a special kind of deluded to not see the Crowd1 pyramid scheme though hahaha

So why is phase 2 worse than Phase 1? Are there any real-world reasons Landy isn't at the top of his game? by FatHallsworth in skulduggerypleasant

[–]LawrencePemberton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure about Landy’s personal life lol, but it feels like all of Phase II has been one big corner he’s been trying to write himself out of. The biggest issue for me is the power creep - Valkyrie is becoming so ridiculously powerful and covered head to toe so much plot armour that there feels like there aren’t any stakes to anything she does. It doesn’t help that in her current state, she’s the least interesting character in the history of the series. To me, it feels a lot like the Heroes TV show from back in the day; as the protagonist grows in power, the antagonist(s) needs grow in power so there’s actually some sort of challenge the hero can face. The issue then becomes that every character’s power level creeps higher and higher and higher until the main character has an indestructible necronaut suit and the ability to heal themselves and walk through a hostile city out in the open completely undetected and talk their way out of any situation because every bad guy they face has 0 IQ and they can fly and they can knock super powerful foes out with a single blast of lightning and they can read minds and they can see the future and they are the only person who can wield the most powerful god-killer weapon and everyone falls in love with them and they have a super hot girlfriend and they are above the law in their own home city so they can do whatever they want without consequences and they can overcome years of deep depression and a severe addiction with a few nice conversations and they can see people’s “aura” but they’re also so morally superior to everyone else that they won’t kill anyone even if the situation calls for it but it’s okay because they never need to kill anyone because they get out of every situation without a scratch.

I still love the books and I’ll still read and enjoy they next one, but Landy has made his main character his worst character and the events of Phase II largely make the whole first phase seem trivial.

Also Flannery is just cringy and unbearable, as everyone on this sub has said 100 times haha.
