Yeah **** card limit

Or how about MIs stay, but they’re nerfed? Like they give you 1 scoop.

It wouldn’t change the strategy at all.

Or we could make cards cost 1 or 2 more scoops. That’d make the MI strategy more impractical.

still’d be the only way to keep scoops in competitive brackets though.

anyway whatever changes are made its going to settle on whatever known tactic works best and boil down to that every time. I don’t think removing the MI will increase strategic variety.

Ok, suppose the MI is removed. What would be your tactic?

easy you card up for shields, and thieves, and bumholes, maybe switcheroos, then at the last few minutes you do a coordinated lemon/pistachio run, and fill in gaps with thieves from people who aren’t really playing, or who don’t have shields.

if you can manage this while your clan is doing a last minute raid, basically you’d have it in the bag every week. probably also huge forumbuildr downvoting trends around that time as well.

it’d just mean more lag around the end of the match, and nearly identical scoop totals. trolls would be at a larger disadvantage than they are now.

Thieves are much less useful than modest improvements, since a modest improvement is guaranteed to give you the flavor you need. Thieves, on the other hand, very likely will not (unless for some reason you need lemon sherbet or pistachio.)

And I don’t see what this has to do with trolls.

I think maybe they need to make the “You are NOT posting in a RPG forum!” warning bigger.

(but also one of the only parts of the game that encourage comradery.)

Then again, since when is the internet about camraderie? Regardless, I agree. Removing -or better yet, changing- the bumhole card would also work.

Suggestion: New bumhole card removes one scoop from every player in the team.

The Modest Improvement is obviously the best “secure scoop” choice right now after the Shield. It has more flexibility than The Shield as you can decide what scoop it guarantees.

Raiding or not, the Mod is one of the few things that can give a troll (without the Mona Lisa) or re-re equal footing. A re-re isn’t going to be able to manage a 36 forum loop on any regular basis, and they certainly aren’t going to get lemon scoops for most of the forums if they did. The footrace is fun, but it very heavily favors certain clbumes. Maybe that won’t be the case with Ep. 2.

I would love to see a card limit theme week to try that out. You may only have x cards at one time, that would be an awesome amount of fun, but would also really push The Shield into being even more powerful. Who knows, maybe I’m wrong, just seems that with limited cards scoop protection would be the only real choice. *shrug*
