hey, i have a question for forumers like myself who don’t really play ToL anymore (except under rare circumstances, at least)
do any of you feel that ToL is incredibly bland compared to FoL and FM?
after pouring 1,100 hours into ToL over 2 1/2 years, that’s how i feel, and why I decided to stop playing ToL, stop helping in the discord, and end my quest for attempting guideship
not sure how many other people feel like this, idk
I think that’s likely borne from smaller scale and much less variation
So it’s understandable
But if you really focus on reads then RTSDGs are still enjoyable imo
i’ve never played ToL with reads in mind (i only used mechanics and sheeping started by others others) and don’t think i’m capable of that
So that might be part of the problem
even super basic tells from FM are incredibly powerful in reading people in ToL because everyone is wrong about what’s wolfy
i don’t think i’ve ever tried to socially read in ToL or a turbo game
i just find that i usually don’t have the time and usually mechanics are all that anyone else focuses on too
ToL is absolutely winnable purely on mechanics but you’ll win more often if you use basic social reads
it makes sense that if that’s the case ToL would get old after a while
like, the fun part of playing BD in ToL is figuring things out yourself, not sheeping the fact that someone else has the gamesolve
I do but I mostly pretend the social reads I’m making are different from the reads I’m actually making because it’s easier to get people to sheep me if I say ‘5 was defending 10 and 10 was Unseen, jail exe 5’ than if I say ‘5 was hardpushing 4 as a counterwagon to 10 despite tacitly acknowledging that 10 was evil and 4 was a question mark, and carefully avoiding actually commenting on 10’
