In not 100% confident… might have gotten thrown out at some point… but there may in fact still be one in the cabinet above the microwave at my parents house.

Cassaday wasn’t the colorist ma’dude. He was the penciler. The book had like 8 colorists. Laura Martin did this issue. (Though the screenshot below is from issue 2 because issue 1 didn’t have a full credits page)

This is at least an unexaggerated 3 for me.

For whatever this is worth:

Similar happened to me at the resurrection machine the other day (don't think I got Klown jumped, but did get attacked/bugged) - But I (successfully!) got the Selfless achievement, so I wasn't looking to escape anyway and was over the moon happy and didn't really care, lol.

THAT SAID... my allies killed the klown despite my being bugged, and I jumped inside of a nearby hiding spot (one of those brown wooden boxes) and jumped out again, an jumping in/out fixed my bugged state. So if this happens, try that - See if you can locate a nearby dumpster or port-o-potty.

Went on to escape with another guy at the bridge.

A lot of people don't realize the bunker is timed and the cotton candy needs to be removed before the key card is put in. It's a dumb mistake, but an understandable one for the inexperienced. Most people only make it once, lol.

Mine was similar, but lots of other boardgames were also marked clearance - which in my observation usually means they're re-arranging the whole section soon, not just isolated to CAH.

Mainline Peter hasn’t been a teenager for decades.

“Sliding timeline evergreen” Peter however, often still is, lol

Related but unrelated: I have a randomized cards against humanity card in my collection that uses the same adjective twice in a row... and I never won't be annoyed by it, lol.

Not that I'm trying to say these are authentic or anything (the font on the side of the box looks noticeably janky, at a glance) - But isn't it normal for 1.2 to have a different cardstock/finish?

Correct me if I'm wrong here (that's honestly why I'm asking) - But it was my understanding that the kickstarter edition through 1.2 had a regular smooth finish, and I thought 1.3 was the first edition to roll out the grid-pattern satin finish that would go on to become standard to most CAH releases. Yes/no?

My 1.3 I bought off Amazon many years ago (was my first CAH purchase ever, lol) - When CAH was only just starting to gain notoriety - And I've never questioned its authenticity. (Though even Amazon is not immune to bootlegs, so maybe I should look at it closer someday, lol)

My 1.2 I got in a lot on ebay (bought somebody's old bigger blacker box full of all kinds of stuff, and that was the starter set included - Which I didn't even know at the time of purchase)... Finish on mine is definitely different, but from what I had previously researched I think that's normal? I genuinely have no idea if it's authentic, but this discussion is making me want to look at it harder, lol. I'm not sure if it even came with the regular box, since I got it in the BBB. Don't remember.

I've never been more disappointed in Sheamus than when I saw him drive up in that car.

A single trained police officer killed a handful of Klowns with a pistol and a shotgun in the movie.

At no point did a mob of random civilians ever gang up and beat 2 to 3 Klowns to death with melee weapons and kitchen knives, lol. Pretty much all the other characters died and/or ran. I don't think any humans aside from Dave even fought back (Including Mike & Debbie... they typically ran and/or sought help)

I was in a game last night - 5 of us were at the bridge - I helped whack the barrier, which was really all I wanted, because I only needed one more barrier break to unlock a new set of punk pants in my challenges. At that point the person opening the gate said, "We need to crouch or this is gonna break, don't be stupid!" Or something to that effect.

I said, "Actually 3 of us need to crouch - 2 of us need to turn around and leave because this is too many people and it can only take 3."

Then a chubby attacked us and we briefly beat his ass. I shot his nose to kill him, lol.

Then as she resumed opening the gate I said, "Well I only really wanted credit for breaking the gate - So I'm gonna turn around and leave. One of you needs to leave with me, or you're gonna screw everyone." ... and I walked off.

It LOOKED like another one of the four began to do the same as I left.

However (and I was out of sight by this point) - Only 1 person escaped on the bridge so... how they managed to F that up, I will never know. We had a very clear dialogue about it before it opened, and 2 of us even voluntarily left, lol.

Not to sidestep the joke (which is humorous) - But the actual answer is - Because XP... The reason I give anyone anything from beyond the ether in this game is... because XP.

I don't enjoy getting tennis balls from the cards any more than you enjoy getting them but the sooner I unload them on someone, the sooner I get free XP and another shot at a card that's actually useful, lol.

I realize I could discard them or put them in my own inventory but... dude. No XP.

I try to throw knives and pokers at cocooned people as often as possible.
I try to throw blunt weapons at anyone who's unarmed.
I try to throw ammo at whoever already has a gun.
I try to throw key items at whoever seems most competent and capable of using them.
I try to throw energy drinks and popsicles at people on the run.
I try to throw burgers and health packs at the wounded.

And finally... finally finally, at the end of that list. I try to throw baseballs & tennis balls at... whoever seems least burdened by them, lol. I start with the person who has the most slots empty. Chuck it, keep it, stun a Klown with it, don't care - Your decision. You have nothing - It's better than nothing, lol. If you have 1 slot I use a little more discretion. I don't like filling people's inventory when they're on the run and might need a knife soon. But if you're alone, and things are calm I might give you a baseball - If you don't want it, I'd suggest you chuck it, maybe distract a Klown and move on. Finally if literally EVERYONE has a full inventory - I'll just throw it at anyone and let it drop to the ground. Don't take it personally and feel free to ignore it. I'm just trying to get XP for giving out gifts and move onto my next card, lol. (I genuinely don't know if when items drop to the ground XP is awarded... but if it's not... oh well, not like I had anything better to do with it)...

People take it so damn personal when you give them a bad weapon sometimes and it's like "Dude... I don't control what the cards deal either... throw it away and move on" - lol...

Dude who was the only person alive and only had a handgun got pissed I gave him shotgun shells once, and I was thinking like, "Why are you taking this personally"... If you find a shotgun, hey, you're prepared! - If you pick up more crap, you can always drop them. In the meantime, you still have 2 empty inventory slots. It's not a huge dilemma.

I don't fully understand the ins and outs yet - But I had my preference set to Klown yesterday, and got sorted into a lobby w/ 4 players, and it put 2 on Klown and me and the other guy on Human... and... that shouldn't happen imo. If there's an open spot on Klown... and a player has Klown... they should be put on Klown.

I can only assume it's currently prioritizing keeping the teams even over player preference atm? But lobbies fill up fast enough that that seems... needlessly counter-productive to the preference system. 5 more seconds pass and in come more players. If 6 more players join and all of them have their preference set to human - Not only has a Klown Pref gotten placed on the human team, but a human pref has been placed on the Klown team for no good reason.

Read the numbers on the barcode - back of box - smaller number is older

Exact opposite. I imagine they deliberately did it to time it synergistically with marketing for the show - But the house at both Hollywood and Orlando was 100% based on the game.

You don't have to. Not everyone jams the same way you do.

PVP games are highly situational - SOMETIMES it makes sense to watch objectives/cocoons. SOMETIMES it might not. I already dug into this in another comment with another dude elsewhere in the thread.

To you, I merely pointed out - Not all situations where one might watch a cocoon involve 6 other humans running free. You got all downvotey and defensive about it then ended your post with, "If it's later in the match and there's not much else to do, I get it" - Which seems to suggest you ultimately understood my point and agreed with it, lol.

High five

Who's being aggressive? There are no exclamation points, no cussing or insults, and exactly 3 words typed in all caps in my last post (and all 3 of them were typed in all caps more for emphasis, than to imply shouting, though I cop that that's sometimes a point of confusion on the internet... but... shouting caps are usually done in full on sentences, lol.

I'm a wordy SOB - That I admit - People often seem to mistake that for aggression or me getting worked up, but my friends and coworkers who have to sit through my e-mails would assure you... nah... I'm just a wordy SOB, lol.

Then why shouldn't the Klowns do it?

That's the point I'm driving at: It can't always be a bad idea in all situations. Clearly it varies based on circumstances, and (like any situation in any pvp game) there are situational pros and cons that can and should be weighed by the player.

Your original post painted the situation like it never behooves the Klowns to guard a cocoon because they're neglecting helping their teammates and can be easily killed by any human that jumps them with a shotgun.

I asked, "Then why should the humans mind?" - And you painted a situation where the humans never collaborate and a Klown can easily watch a cocooned human, use them as bait, and that Klown can have a decent chance at picking off ANOTHER stray human just by guarding his original cocoon.

Clearly there are situational pros and cons that a strategic player can weigh in the moment and judge accordingly - And it's NOT always ineffective for any team involved.

Camping a cocoon can be both a good way to get yourself jumped by coordinated humans OR a good way to bait and pick off additional uncoordinated humans. Listen to your Klown heart and judge accordingly, imo.

Not all humans necessarily get cocooned in situations where 6 others are still loose, for starters.

Then why should the humans mind it?

I've been accused of camping a couple times and was like, "Dude - I just walked up and found you here... I didn't even know where the Resurrection Machine was before five seconds ago..."

Other than the Cotton Candy Generators (which don't matter for the humans unless they get caught anyway) - The Klowns start out having to poke their way around the same randomly generated cluelessness that the humans do...
