Why emo kids? I find it hard to believe that they have difficulty earning lemon scoops, or any other flava, given that they’re certainly doing as well on the speed run leaderboards as camwhores, and there’s no difference for vanilla or pistachio or chocolate or antifreeze.

I’ve never played an Emo Kid, so what do I know? Log in to see images!

Well, I’m sure Trolls can find a forum to speedrun but they are still disadvantaged because they can’t collect Pistachios at the same time (or at least it’s very hard). The more I think about it the more I like the idea of getting scoops for taking only little damage because that’s also fair to Camwhores – they need less attacks to pwn a forum and so they are less often attacked, that may even things out.

I hereby decide that this thread is about game balance and not about which forum is the fastest to pwn. Log in to see images!

I can get yellow scoops from fours and under, although I haven’t played another clbum I don’t really see what the problem is here – I even won two medals from speedruns. Do the other clbumes have it that much easier?

True. It’s probably impossible to balance the clbumes perfect, that would demand an insane amount of work but a better balance shouldn’t be to hard. The main problem as I see it are Lemon Scoops. I’ve never managed to get more then two and boy, have I tried. Log in to see images!

So either there should be a different alternative to get Lemon Scoops or another Flava better suited for Trolls and Emo Kids. For example you get 1-3 Scoops for taking only very little damage when pwning a forum to reward a high defense.

I definitely agree that better balance is preferred, but you can 3 scoop a few of the boards. You just need to find them…and you may need to rejigger your build (I didn’t have to do this, but a dedicated build would certainly make more forums scoopable).

I disagree that all three clbumes need to be equally balanced in Domination. Three of the flavors have nothing to do with how fast you can pwn or whether you can pwn multiple different forums in a row. Each clbum has it’s play style. The loss of a few Pistachios (which is the only drawback for Trolls, really) can easily be made up by good submissions, teamwork, and good gambling skills.

Additionally, if every clbum had 100% equal footing, then there’s no reason to have different clbumes.
