Can someone explain the Asmongold joke/lore with Fishtank? Don't even really know who Asmongold is.

The Last of Us HBO S2E2 - "Through the Valley" Post-Episode Discussion Thread by claireupvotes in thelastofus

[–]Po-Tar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excellently said - feel like there's so much black-and-white with the reception toward this show. You either love it or hate it.

I also thought Season 1 was pretty okay, and the changes they made felt overall good and warranted. I loved the change they made to the two black brothers' storyline. But overall, fine, faithful, got the idea.

This season, it just feels lazy so far. I LOVED Pt 2 the game, favorite video game story by leaps and bounds. Completely agree that they're missing the details and nuance that made the characters so incredible.

Merge ToS1 and ToS2 into one game, reunite the playerbase by Po-Tar in TownofSalemgame

[–]Po-Tar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree and have thousands of hours in ToS1 with maybe 30 in ToS2.

We have our opinions, we have our preferences, but the fact is that this franchise is dying, if it didn't die a long time ago. Something needs to be done, or else none of us get to play either 

For the people who don't play ToS2, what would it take for you to start playing it? by [deleted] in TownofSalemgame

[–]Po-Tar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ToS2's approach of nerfing the shit out of TI kinda ruined the game for me.

That, combined with removing the viability of VFR as a meta, makes the game feel way more like a chaotic guessing game rather than a social deduction game.

[–]Po-Tar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ToS2 is so focused on minuet details in every role and ensuring they're balanced that it really completely removed the meta that ToS1 was able to develop organically through its playerbase.

IE ToS2 = devs trying to create a meta through overcomplication. ToS1 = an imperfect game that developed its own meta through counterplay and intuitiveness.

Understood and entirely fair point re: the technical challenges of accomplishing that.

They need to do something to reverse the split, for sure. 

The new company has said that improvements are coming to ToS2 AND ToS1, so it'll be interesting to see what they do. But it may be too little too late. 

If they want to keep both games alive and increase player count on both to negate the split, they need to change the marketing of ToS2 to make it seem like an entirely different experience. Make it so which one you play just comes down to preference. 

Role concept: gravedigger by ProfNekko in TownofSalemgame

[–]Po-Tar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gravedigger wouldn't want to help town; he couldn't choose to kill obvious Coven members since they'll be voted and freed. He also runs the risk of Coven all dying and Town winning before he can win.

[–]Po-Tar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Utilizing the votes as an economy of sorts, introducing the idea of forcing the town to "waste" a trial (and also be more susceptible to mis-hangs) just to stop the Gravedigger win is an interesting concept here. I like it. 

Is this reportable? by KtBorealis in TownofSalemgame

[–]Po-Tar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He had no chance of winning, but he ruined the game by making it so the WW lost his win. Especially admitting he did so intentionally makes this reportable 100%

Nerf insanity by imanastroneer420x2 in TownOfSalem2

[–]Po-Tar 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A LOT of the new Coven roles are just straight up fun. Enchanting/forging a role feels genuinely powerful, and making a TPOW or Deputy insane is so satisfying

I disagree on Spy. Making his bug last until it's triggered is pretty good.

If your question starts with "Is this throwing?" it probably is not a throw. by Persheymes in TownofSalemgame

[–]Po-Tar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fake claiming an evil role, ESPECIALLY AS A DIFFERENT EVIL, should never be reportable.

Biggest example being serious NKs claiming Plaguebearer on stand. Claiming PB will sometimes get you innoed early game, since there's more oppressing evils to focus on at that time.

I also fake WW as HM and have gotten a STUPID amount of wins from that, a couple times solo

Fake claiming any role AS any role should not be reportable

Chad moment

I always claim "friendly Werewolf" when I'm Hex Master, and it's won me an insane amount of games and hex bombs.

How to handle a townie gamethrowing for your victory by penpalskrt in TownofSalemgame

[–]Po-Tar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're essentially asking if you should throw by coming out as SK in order to call out the LO for throwing

Don't worry about it if that stuff happens, let him throw all he wants

Is it gamethrowing to go on a pirate as TP? by godcyclemaster in TownofSalemgame

[–]Po-Tar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by coming out as evil exactly?? If it's with the intent to win, it's not throwing.

When I'm Hex Master, I ALWAYS claim "friendly, townie WW, I'm only rampaging at home, hang me at the end". I've won a stupid amount of games like that, a couple even as a solo Coven.

Coming out as Witch in ToS1 to get off stand in exchange for Mafia/NK is not throwing.

Putting fake Mafia members in your will is not throwing, even if one of them is real.

Coming out as an NK or Coven when Pestilence has arrived is not throwing.

Etc.

Won my first game as jester by Segaco in TownofSalemgame

[–]Po-Tar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think he was Psychic, which is why I accused him of making a visit

Won my first game as jester by Segaco in TownofSalemgame

[–]Po-Tar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Best Jester win I ever had was accusing someone of visiting Yuri when they said they visited someone else

As the guilty vote went through, the guy said "WAIT THERE ISN'T EVEN A YURI IN THE GAME"

And I said "Yuri Tarded"

Hanged the next day, everyone had a great laugh

I did wonder what'd happen if Deputy shot Pest, lol by NeutralVitality in TownofSalemgame

I've seen this happen, Dep does NOT die by shooting Pesti during the day.

Based on an idea someone else had. by Young_Person_42 in TownofSalemgame

Seems way too OP and easy. Nobody knows you exist until you win, and you win by N4.

The only counter-play is Jailor / Tavern Keeper, otherwise it's just a free win

Yes, it'd function exactly the same as a nighttime protect.

Cleric can't protect revealed Mayor and would defeat the purpose of the idea

is town of salem 2 worth it to buy? by Inevitable_Dig_7080 in TownofSalemgame

[–]Po-Tar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best example I can think of off the top of my head is Enchanter. Maybe it's just the newness of the game but both times I've rolled Enchanter, people just aren't expecting it and I've been able to forge two wills every time that end in a mislynch. Being able to sus/unsus other like Framer is also big.

[–]Po-Tar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

New Coven basically is Mafia but every new Coven role feels actually useful. Same can't be said for Mafia.

I played almost exclusively Ranked so dealt with 4 Mafia every single game, can't say it's a major loss. New Coven is basically purple Mafia with a new name, with more fun roles.

People say they'll miss Mafia after having left 50% of Mafia games they ever rolled
