Technically the easiest method of finishing the game with a permanoob is as follows

1)Get you permanoob up to around 18-20 (Honestly it’s a little time consuming but not that difficult the main thing is that you pretty much need to have Recipes For Disaster and maybe the second permanoob attack)

2)Farm Herschel until you have a big warchest

3)Respec to a relatively high frugality

4)Buy a ****load of synthol (with the increase in prices 5-HTP is no longer cost-effective)

5)Respec into a high defense build

6)Pwn Second Wife (Sure it’s tough and your attacks do **** for damage but you can enter and exit until you get a low power thread- pwn it and you should gain about .5 levels per thread if you’ve got a decent warchest you can probably own 2-3 threads insuring roughly a level a visit). Repeat this until you can relatively easily power your way through the remainder of episode 2. Once you unlock the final episode 2 forum then switch to it to powerlevel up the rest of the levels.

Note this strategy pretty much works for all the other clbumes as well if you want to shorten your time as a mid-level goon.
