You are way off base.
A watcher of the show can discuss where they might go, whether he sets out for Tommy or even gets that far. He and Tess were planning to go to Tommy before he got stuck with Ellie.
When those who played the game start talking about their trek west, they are immediately confirming guesses from non-gamers.
So yeah, those who have played the game should not be posting guesses about the show on this thread, because they are drawing from both the show and their knowledge of the game. There is literally a whole other thread they can post their own guesses on. Why post them here? It's really not that hard.

In the first ep, pretty sure it was Casper, Wyo to get where Tommy may be.
Btw - 48 year old non-gamer here. My last gaming was ncaa football, madden, and tiger woods LOL. Dont have to worry about me spoiling

Ok, just so we all understand the rules about posting here, if Taco had said, "Assuming they make it out of Boston and do go west, it will be cool to see the ruins of other cities."
Would that be OK? Just trying to establish the exact phrasing that must be used not to piss off people.
And to restate, again, there are multiple games and some people haven't played both while some have only played part of the first. So those people are more than entitled to post here (assuming they don't post spoilers).

It's mentioned in the first episode that Tommy is in Wyoming and Ellie explains to Joel that she was supposed to be transported somewhere out west where scientists are working on a cure. I know this information from the show and NOT the game. If you've been paying attention it's obvious they are heading west, also because from Boston that's pretty much the only direction they can go.TCTTS said:
Seriously, same. I assumed they're going on a journey of sorts, but again, can gamers - even those who hardly played it - PLEASE shut the f/ck up about the game/speculation??? I've tried to be cool about it, but it's like you guys just can't help yourselves.
Seriously, some of you need to relax. This complaining is getting over the top and ridiculous.
Then I guess you haven't paid much attention. Joel's brother is in Wyoming and Ellie said she was being taken somewhere out west for a cure. I got this info from the show and NOT the game. Relax.Chuck Cunningham said:I didn't they were leaving Boston based on the show. Thanks taco.barbacoa taco said:
I didn't play much of the game (gasp I mentioned the game!) so I dont know where the story takes us, but I'm interested to see which cities they visit on their journey out west. It'll be cool to see their depiction of different cities in ruins like they did for Boston. In a very haunting way.
Goodness gracious. They talked about Montana in the show. Joel looks at a map and follows an interstate pretty dang far west.
Edit: Montana or Wyoming. One of those states

yeah, I thought it was Wyoming? but maybe Montana. Somewhere desolate in the west, which makes sense given the post-apocalyptic circumstances.
more arguing discussing rules than the damn tv show.
How do you know Montana/Wyoming is west of Boston?!? You must be a GAMER!!
There is nothing to show they actually succeed in going west. Nothing.barbacoa taco said:Then I guess you haven't paid much attention.

I'll shut up about this. Until it happens again.
Char A: I'm going west
Char B: Gotta go west
Char C: let's leave here and go west
Texags posters: no telling where they might be going

Nothing in my post implies anything about them succeeding going anywhere. I just said I'm interested to see what the cities they do visit look like (assuming they even go to any cities, which I do not know).

I'm with DallasTeleAg on this, 100% (shocking, I know).
Is what taco said super spoilery? No. Again, it's obvious they're going on a journey, and it can be inferred they're almost assuredly leaving Boston. That's not the issue, though.
It's that we JUST laid the ground rules that you DON'T speculate if you're a gamer. Yet, not even 24 hours later, taco posts that he *had* played the game, and then went on to "speculate" in the very same post. It's the principle of the matter, one that opens the door for others to do the same thing.
The juvenile bickering over a tv show has been just as entertaining.

lol. One of this board's most prolific posters couldn't help himself in the House of the Dragon thread. After being spoiled twice in that one, and seeing the gamers in this one... it's at least a really interesting case study.Teddy Perkins said:

I don't like spoilers. Modern day trailers give way too much info.
Do you step outside the theater during movie previews or stay seated, close your eyes, plug your ears and go "la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la"?

"I assume the prospect of political virtue signaling breaking out in any given thread keeps you up at night as well?"
"No."
"No? Alright, well that's our show."
"But just to be clear, you *do* think mindless political debate on the entertainment forum poses a threat to our sanity and our fun?"
"Oh, in the most dire terms."
"aTmAg? The Debt?"
"No."
"You like saying 'no.'"
"Yes."
"Not aTmAg. Not The Debt. So…"
"Gamers."
[Laughter from the audience.]
"Yes, that's the usual response. Gamers seem harmless enough, but many of us non-gamers know otherwise. Because there are some gamers who seek not to play games... but to spoil. Political discourse can get heated, sure, but spoilers can alter our very minds..."
...
"Any one of them can become capable of burrowing into our brains and ruining whatever it is we're watching. Not spoiling just one of us, but *dozens* of us. Dozens of us with spoiled minds, plundered by the gamers' one, unifying goal; to spread the spoilers - what they call "speculation" - to every last person on the board by any means necessary."

This thread sucks. And I can't read the other one because I haven't played the second game.
