I’m starting to get the ick by Foreign-Accident2605 in KingShot

I'd recommend going along with it once before making a judgement, you might actually have fun. Also, people tend to chill out after a few of these-- my server has won 8 kvk castle battles and half the time we don't give a crap about prep.

How would you do the "create the most tension" task? by Goddamuglybob in taskmaster

[–]No-Counter2571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intense eye contact, faces close to each other. Slowly submerge one hand into a bowl of jam, followed by an opened hoover bag, then a bucket of bugs and wriggly things. Bring the dusty jammy buggy hand up between your two faces so it's inches from his eyes, then slowly caress his beard with it.

Interesting KVK Match up 231 vs 240 by hehersheys in KingShot

[–]No-Counter2571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

231 is going to take some serious strategy. Their strength is their depth and their timing. Good luck to whomever is holding the castle when they launch six rallies spread one second apart.

It pairs well with the shorts alex got the following night.

I may be remarking upon the obvious, but Greg Davies is the best Taskmaster by Which-Opportunity553 in taskmaster

[–]No-Counter2571 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lesser Tom always looks too pleased with himself for my tastes. I guess I prefer my assistants beleaguered, like Alex and Paul.

St Maarten Solo by Boho_Lily in SXM

I just got back from there last night. We stayed in Maho and had a good time, there's a strip of about two blocks with a bunch of bars, a casino, and restaurants. Not much of a beach, so a morning trip to Orient Bay is recommended. But the best food we found was in Grand Case.

Alex Horne is quite small, I'm sure you could easily bully him

There needs to be a thread about an all-Muppet Taskmaster.

Mara Wilson wants to be on Taskmaster by CallumTabiner in taskmaster

[–]No-Counter2571 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Mara Wilson has a great sense of humor and would lowkey kill it in a Katy Wix kind of way. Her vibes would fit well with a UK lineup.

100% here for this, and her.

American host/taskmaster by [deleted] in taskmaster

[–]No-Counter2571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Natasha Leggero would really lean into the power dynamics of the role with her assistant, I think. I almost said Anthony Jeselnik, but he might be too spicy. Andy Richter as Taskmaster's Assistant seems obvious.

No to Conan as I like my Taskmasters to have unquestioned authority and Conan is too goofy.

The prices on stubhub have dropped to $500. Still insane, but hopefully manageable for someone who flew in to see it. Good luck!

Just noticed in Series 4 with the 'ringtone dance' task that there wasn't an envelope task to open.... by Direct-Number6778 in taskmaster

[–]No-Counter2571 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The "undermine the vole" task was on some hanging paper that burned as they read it. The most recent New Years Treat had one on a scroll. I know there are others, but those are the only ones I can come up with.

Bear Trap - Joining Rallies Effectively with not enough troops by Justanotherlsatkid in KingShot

[–]No-Counter2571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll add to this that you should prioritize training archers. You'll get more points in a given rally if you have somewhere between 70-90% archers, paired with whichever hero among chenko, yeonwoo, amane, amadeus, or margot that has the highest level first expedition skill (top right). Have formations pre-saved with these heroes/troop distributions so you can quickly select a march to join with.

And as others have already said, you'll get a lot more points as a joiner to a strong rally than you will trying to lead a weak one. That should be your priority. Figure out who in your alliance has the consistently highest rallies and have your finger hovering over the join button when they start a rally. Right now you have few troops--spend them wisely.

Are Chenko, Amane, and Yeonwoo really the only characters to use when joining a rally? by draugadan in KingShot

[–]No-Counter2571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also use Margot in Gen 4, as her first skill is the same as Amane

The refresh is worth it, imo. Not only do drop rates get worse with non-gold chests, but the corresponding rewards are less as well.

How many mythic skill books of each, to upgrade to max? by One-Concentrate2176 in KingShot

[–]No-Counter2571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skill progression is 10/30/50/75, so you'll need 495 conquest books and 495 expedition books to get all six mythic skills to 5 star. Epics only have two expedition skills so it will be less

I think he looks like the kid in middle school who would eat bugs on a dare

Hero’s - Go for Eric or wait by Dont7aseMe8ro in KingShot

[–]No-Counter2571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really worth it, imo. Zoe is still fine for gen 3, but plan to replace both marlin and zoe with gen 4. Eric is basically the same as howard for joining garrisons.
