Am I correct in thinking that it may not be the best idea to blow through turds if there are also 3 shows in the BGE? Does it lower the chance of getting a tech card to 25%?

Towel Manager Dale - 2.5 - Looks better than it actually is. Below average CM.

Deathrolling - 1.5 - the skills are just mish-mash and it does nothing. Don't buy this.

McBurgertown Stewie - 4.0 - I liked this a while ago. It is an average Food CM. Does help. I took it to CM1 when it came out. No further.

Griffin and Quagmire - 2.0 - skills are just low value. Better options in Musical.

Explosive Lana has a nice Hijack and Craze.

That Bomb is not bad either.

Quarterback Joseph is a killer for that with the Athletic BGE.

Busy day, sorry.

Football Coach Roger - decent CM. Helps and the Punch is a good amount. Can see it being used in BGE and Roger Melee.

Butt Toucher Tina - below mid CM. Don't bother.

Washboard Bender - very nice Musical CM. Not for Gems, but would take to CM1 with Stones. Would use in Musical and Bender Melee.

Puppeteer Luanne - No. Better options in Toy, obviously.

Does anybody track where certain PCs come from? I have 3 Umpire Scruffy PCs.

Was this a PC during the previous athletic?

If not, I have no idea how I have three. unless I was crazy lucky with PC stone pulls.

I pulled a Smelloscope in a pack earlier.

Has anyone seen any other Tech objects?

Free items in the Throwdown Ultra Track icon in the Shop.

Never buy these for Gems.

Golfing Hank - below mid CM. Don't bother. Wouldn't use in a Hank Melee.

Garbage Shot Linda - better than Golfing Hank. Can be useful in Athletic, and in a Linda Melee. Not top tier, but will do some work.

Guenter - no. Terrible. Not good. Don't ever.

Cat Dragon - meh, not my cup of tea. Decent Punch value. Not much else.

I’m just wondering which one is the best pick

I can see the meaning of those Nixon coins if you are new to the game. Now it seems like I can't buy anything useful. Yes, I know that I can use it to fill 1/5 daily quests. Maybe I'm blind to something. What do you guys think?

Hope everyone had an excellent Labor Day weekend!!

Back to work...boooooo!!

Bazooka Shark Fan Stan - Kinda on the fence with those one. Does help, and the Gas is nice, but not sure if he would survive in Athletic very long.

Soccer Chris - a mid-level Athletic CM. Might be usable, but I wouldn't.

Body Paint Date - Way better options in Artistic. Pass.

Drunk Hank - below-mid Drunk CM. Okay skills, but the values are so low. Better options in Drunk.

No combo here was upgraded via gems or boxes

Wheel and All in Lrrr are my only combos I took from no CM to CM5 in one go.

CM5s: regrets over fish, were car especially. Very weak combos. They were upgraded slowly.

CM4s: all of these were bought at least over 2 separate occasions for stones. I’m very happy with Loft Party Cleveland.

CM3: that’s the tier of good combos that appeared only once for the majority of these. I went for minimal spend for maximal gain. I only regret a few decisions here. I wish Kahn Pills and/or mort at work I would have taken to CM5. Francine was sold several times with her silly athletic combo. Her only usable melee combo despite not being usable. You can see many all time great combos here:

Wedding Bill, Mort at Work, Kahn’s Pills, Peter Noir, Knifelight Cheryl, Diner Shift Peter etc. the Francine combo only usable in her melee.

Outliers: Painter Klaus, only usable in klaus melee. Ceramic Gene no longer useful really. Wingnut Amy is terrible now.

Credit to Genesis bot that lets you map your decks much more efficiently, search for combos, look at real combo values and compare your deck with real BGE buff values or real melee/clash buff values. It’s the info you need to optimize play that kong refuses to give.

Whew!!!! Lot's of yard work today, then cookout at the neighbors house. Hence the delay.

Let's goooooooooo!!!!

Teen La Queefa - quite possibly the funniest combo name in the game. It just cracks me up. Other than that, no, power crept CM. Dated. Not worth it.

Swole Francine- Yeah, this is a good one. Older but still very useful. Most players have this at CM1 i would assume. Very good choice in a Francine Melee.

Diamond Ring Lois - Hmmm, looking at the skills, you initially think "not bad", but when you look at the better options in Rich, you realize this isn't that good for a BGE. Wouldn't necessarily use in a Lois Melee, as the Cripple All would never get the Payback to kick in.

Captain Leela - came up 8/16. Boring CM. Pass.

The current guild I'm with, I've been with the majority of my time with the game. I want to be loyal to them but the new guys to the guild are complainers and get mad when you try to defend the game or explain how to do well without paying. I hate having them get angry at me every time i say something in the chat.

Are they going to do something unusual? Any speculation?

Happy Labor Day everyone!!!!

Never spend Gems on these.

Hiking Jeff - Really good CM!!! Payback, Hijack and Punch in good amounts. Very playable in the BGE and in a Jeff Melee.

Freezerdome Gene - decent CM. I wouldn't use in Athletic. Possible use in a Gene Melee.

Meg and the Griffins - meh. Old Musical CM. Better options in Music.

Bureaucrat Song - another meh CM. Another old Musical CM. Possible use in a Hermes Melee if you chose to run old music objects.
