The pretender discussion

What do you guys think of the new class added to throne of lies? After the long wait for a new neutral class we get The Pretender and I can say I was almost 100% disappointed. I thought there was so many good ideas we suggested for a new neutral class.

The new class just seems very plain with finding royal blood and trying to become king. Even afterwords when you are king good luck surviving woth no guards

My personal opinion is that this class was created to add more claim space to the game. My wishes for the future is that they add new abilities to this and introduced a new mechanic to the game

Tel me what you think

No opinions here as i havent gotten it yet

That is understandable. I know what classes they new but I have played as the class twice now. In one game I openly claimed and in another game i stayed silent. In games where I openly claimed or other people openly claimed they were ignored or killed. In games where people tried to secretly become king by claiming a BD class or when I tried to do that, they were usually killed before coming king.

sounds like something a few morons predicted, like this one https://forum.imperium42.com/t/new-neutral-the-pretender/71648/182

Yeah and I agree with you on that. Just couldn’t look through over 100 post and find your post about it😂

Neutrals are not claimspace

Neutrals will never be claimspace

Good luck getting that message through.

I’ve lost count for the amount of times I’ve had to argue with people that the damn Scorned out of all neutrals is not a good fakeclaim here, so~

Everyone knows Fool is the best fakeclaim.

Getting back on topic what do you think of the class

hasnt it already been established this is a class you actually have to play the game to win as. its not just another old alch where you win most of the time because your a second better phys. there is no point in claiming pretender because it doesnt side with bd and never will as its a nuetral class. after you become king you have to decide whether to side with bd and risk getting killed by evils or side with evils and risk getting hung. its a decently high skill class after all.

Personally I don’t mind Pretender. Night immunity is nice. I just sit back and try to come up with a good claim and some good logs. Today I claimed Sheriff, gained the courts trust until a Paladin was killed. Then the King was killed. There were only a handful of us left and I staight up told everybody I was Pretender, got voted in. We exed the remaining BD and won.

I was thinking maybe she could have more effective day abilities (maybe I need more practice)

of random curriosity has anyone managed to get voted up as pretender via methods other than pre-psycho king NK meta (IE outright announcing pretender at the election and hopping the BD favors a neutral king to a possible evil king)

I haven’t but I’ve seen others who tricked everyone that they were BD King until the final 3
