Very easy. The best thing is that generally you expect to die as a Counselor so if you die early that's fine.

Also ignore anyone who gives you poo poo for hacking and slashing as Jason. Though you shouldn't kill anyone with it because it's lame as gently caress.

If you have a counselor not trying to get the gently caress away from you and they don't have a weapon, they're trying to bait you into grabbing them because they have a handy collection of pocket knives.

Hack them down to limping and then go look for their friends. :murder:

Got chosen as Tommy in a round the other night and ran to the four seater I got killed at. Sure enough everyone's still swarming the car with Jason around because the keys are in and they're trying to distract him long enough to start it up. I keep yelling for people to get clear so I can shoot but no one really clued in.

Jason grabs a counselor, I imagine knowing I'm trying to shoot his rear end, so I do exactly that. Sprinted up directly behind him and drove a shell of buckshot straight up his rear end in a top hat. AJ gets dropped, Jason drops too, we all bounce out in the car.

Thank god Jason's got badonk or someone would have died there, besides me beforehand I mean

Don't even give them the chance to heal, if any counselor is alone and acting like King poo poo Walking Tall trying to take you on toe-to-toe you just cut them down. Maybe they're hoping for a weapon stun, but more than likely they have a pocket knife.

Also helpful advice to newbies, if Jason sees you you're dead. It's pretty much just inevitable, the only way to save yourself is to call his attention to other people and hope he decides to latch onto them instead. If you're hiding under a bed and he doesn't get you, it's only because he was distracted by somebody else nearby. The hiding did nothing except buy you a little more time.

Jesus gently caress I hate that bug where, if a counselor hits you, as Jason, after you pull someone out of the car, you have a chance to just go rocketing away from them at high speed across the map. It's even worse when you just morphed to the car so you have to hope you hit geometry or the cool down finishes before you leave existence

I like that as Jason I can stand in front of the driver door and no counselor can get in the vehicle but they always stay huddled around it allowing you to hack 3-4 of them to death. (if it's the 4 seater at least)

Once I got the shift car stop down a little better it made a huge difference. Now if I stop it once there's a good chance I can keep it stopped most if not all of the rest of the round.


Still no Tinfoil at it, but I can be feared a bit more at least.

I wonder if I could have just ran around full sprint for the remainder of the match instead of trying for the car as it did not seem like I was losing stamina at any point.

I also should have went into the water too see how AJ's demonic possession felt bout swimming.

Whatevet, there's always the next time someone pointblank flaregun's Tinfoil during a grab attempt.

This happened to me. You will float above the water and Jason will not be able to grab you. You can also chase other players around with infinite stamina while pretending to be a ghost. I found it polite to let Jason kill me at the end of the match so no one could accuse me of exploiting a glitch.

Floaty counselor is best councilor.

I don't know if I like Adam anymore. His character design is great, I mean honestly I pretty much dress like him on a daily basis and I even had a mullet once (more than once). But I find my play style gets me killed more often as Adam than AJ. I honestly like the lone wolf stealthy gameplay of AJ. I like being able to help behind the scenes. Be a fairy godmother to the other players, coming out of nowhere to drop off a battery or phone fuse and then run away. Or, you know, totally pull a Chad and steal the boat when no one is looking. Which still never works for me but I won't stop trying.

Adam is my favorite for sure. You can really just beat the piss out of Jason and never get grabbed if you're enough of a fucker with windows and stuff. Just make sure the rest of the counselors know Jason is chasing you and to use that time wisely

I've found Adam is best for when I've been having bad rounds and need to blown off some steam. It's nice to be able to run stupid fast and whack Jason real good with a bat or axe.

I've been maining Deborah mostly because I like fixing stuff for XP, although I keep getting hosed because I fix the car and then someone runs off with it.

AJ with the Lone wolf perk and Night Owl is super fun though.

Adam is high risk high reward. Yea I have plenty of games where I single handedly repair the car or call the cops, but then I also have games where I get killed in under two minutes. Basically, as Adam, I'm never running from Jason. If I'm running away momentarily it's just to find a good weapon to beat him with. It's an attitude that leads to some early deaths but Adam doesn't think Jason is a big deal man, he can take him no problem.

Just had a pubbie match where I managed to 7/7 the counselors before hitting rage mode. I'm not sure if I'm getting better or if it was just a bad batch of pubs though. They were actually doing an okay job of helping each other so they had that going for them

One of the counselors I caught while smashing a door in combat stance, they tried to run past me while I was occupied but Jason locked onto them as they ran past :discourse: You can always count on Jason

Your favorite furry wrestler.
So after our rousing rounds of fun goontiem I decided one last pub session before I watch a movie and drink myself to sleep was in order. It was an experiment I had tried with goons and it failed. I decided to try it with pubbies. As soon as the round starts I (Tiffany ) jump immediately in the water, swimming as fast as I loving can to the island. I get there, and then... wait. And I wait. I wait some more.

Time passes....

The entire round I'm moving my mouse around like loving crazy watching for Jason. Occasionally I'll sidestep, just to keep the idle timer off me, but it looks like just moving the mouse might have been enough. Everyone who dies sees what I'm doing, notices Jason has yet to notice me, immediately ragequits. By the time the server finished there were three players.

Now, you might be asking yourself... how well did this plan work?

Well, I was the last to die for one. Yes, I did die. But how? I'm guessing Jason either sensed me somehow, or I sidestepped and he saw the noise bubble. Either way he warped his rear end directly to the island and proceeded to search it... and then went away. He couldn't find me! And then I sidestepped again and he returned, this time with full blown sense going. He searched and finally found me. I ran around the island with him chasing for a little bit, no weapon no nothing. He finally catches me, and proceeds to put me out of my misery.

I got 668 points that round. I've literally gotten less XP when I actually loving try. Keep in mind: I did nothing else that round either. No barricades, no arming myself, no fixing poo poo. Just run, hide, and point my flashlight away from where Jason will look. If my perks were better, I had three knives, and brought a baseball bat with me... I could have gone the entire round without speaking to or helping another player, and probably still died but goddamnit I would have ruined someone's night.

Nothing is more Chad than that.

It's interesting to me how different everyone's experiences can be. In 100 hours of playing with random people on the PC, I don't think I've ever heard anyone scream at someone else because they aren't good. I've heard people attack each other for pretty much every other reason under the sun, and use all the most popular slurs. I myself have asked people if they are playing with their feet instead of their hands after they've slammed into a fifth or sixth tree in their attempt at driving, but I've never heard anyone scream at another player because they suck.

I guess it's all subjective. If someone were to ask me about this game's community, I'd say that it's quite a bit more pleasant than others I've encountered. Sure that means that my race/religion/sexuality/ancestry only gets attacked 1 out of every 10 rounds or so, but that's still better than something like Overwatch, or godforbid, CoD, where the hate is just loving constant.

effective countertroll: saying they need some perspective in their life if skill at a party game is what they get bothered about

if they keep it up, i suggest that they go to church (or mosque or temple) to thank god (or allah or yahweh) for their incredible blessings since they can obsess over party games all night
