Revision as of 15:07, 14 August 2008

This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

Attendance and Food Preference

--Gdaze 16:48, 10 August 2008 (MST) So uh Brandon I guess, wanna magic some this Friday? Dieter? Maybe? Know your not the biggest fan o'magic. Also that being said, anyone down for a game sometime this week? Let me know in advance!

--Dieter the Bold 10:47, 11 August 2008 (MST) This weekend is the closest to my dad's birthday, so don't count me in for anything. We may end up celebrating it next weekend, depending on his schedule, so I'm not saying there's no chance, just not much of one.

--Edmiao 09:02, 12 August 2008 (MST)Deiter, I won't be coming over tonight. maybe wednesday, i'll just call and see if you are home if i get the chance to drop by.

--Brandon 00:36, 14 August 2008 (MST)I'm back in town, and down for some magic this Friday, regardless of locale.

--Gdaze 01:32, 14 August 2008 (MST) Congrats on the marriage! Well, I'm totally down, and I can offer my place. I don't think anyone else is down anyway... but do you need to get your decks?

Ranting and raving or other random comments

--Gdaze-- Dieter, you on for some CoH/CoV tonight?

JASON: Did you ever email Matt#2? He plays almost every night.

--Gdaze-- I will email him tonight! Do you know what server he plays on? I'm not really into switching severs.

--Edmiao 09:04, 12 August 2008 (MST) Hey Brandon, i assume congratulations are in order!

JASON: Gabe, I think he has characters on every server.

--Brandon 00:36, 14 August 2008 (MST) Yes, indeed, Ed, I'm a married man. Thanks kindly for the sentiments!

--Matts 09:29, 14 August 2008 (MST)Congrats!

Other RPG or Non-RPG gaming Events

Monthly Board Gaming Day

shindig on aug 30/31

JASON: Also, I will be having a massive shindig for mine and Rumi's birthdays on either August 30th or 31st. I would like to see as many of you jokers as possible attend. Mark it on your calendar. I am planning on renting a venue so we have plenty of space for games, Rock Band, and partying. Does anyone know of a centrally located, reasonably priced, venue?

GABE: I'd like to come, I'm trying to be more social. A central and big location for partying thats cheap? *insert your mom comment*

KIM: Oooh, I'll be back in town then, might have a job that weekend, but will try to keep it during reasonable hours so that I can show up and commandeer the potato chip bowl... *nom nom nom*

--Dieter the Bold 16:37, 21 July 2008 (MST) Will be moving into a new place, but should be able to spare a day. Consider me attending. The only venue I could think of that's sorta' central and maybe reasonably priced is an educational building. Gym of a high school, community college, Seattle U., etc.

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

--Edmiao 14:04, 10 August 2008 (MST) oh god. The Awful Truth

--Edmiao 14:16, 10 August 2008 (MST) Trying to make a deck using this card

--Gdaze 16:48, 10 August 2008 (MST) Dang, I don't know how I'd counter that goblin...

ED: Magic workstation count of creatures with protection from color. I was looking for protection from blue and thought it was underrepresented, turns out protection from green is the most rare.... # creatures with protection from: 9 green, 12 blue, 24 white, 32 red, 41 black. and two of the protection from green don't really count (masked gorgon and grotesque hybrid)

--Gdaze 23:41, 11 August 2008 (MST) So I was looking at my duel lands, and besides having one of each type from 3rd edition, I also have one extra Tropical Island (G/B), Savannah (W/G), and Underground Sea (B/Bl). I think I might sell them, I'm not sure how much shops buy for though. The first two are in really good condition, but not the last one.

JASON: I think they give about $15 each for them. I will do better than that in trade, though. What kind of stuff are you looking for?

--Edmiao 13:46, 12 August 2008 (MST) gabe, what was that set you just bought a box of?

--Gdaze 14:14, 12 August 2008 (MST) Hmm, I'm really looking more for monies. It was Guildpact, and to a lesser degree Dissention. Why? You gonna mock me cuz you found a lower price? Ass? Kekekeke.

So you wanna play sometime this week Ed?

JASON: I will give you $15 apiece for them then, how is that?

--Gdaze -- Hmmmmm let me think it over!

--Edmiao 08:36, 13 August 2008 (MST) i liked that set and in a fit of weakness i bought 3 boosters! Damn myself to hell! i did find 4 real cards for the blue creature that unsummons your creatures, and 4 of the artifact golumn casting cost 6 that has: sacrifice for WRGUB mana. not sure what to do with him, but it's certainly my style of card. Cheryl's got her surgery tomorrow, so no magic time for me.

--Matts 08:45, 13 August 2008 (MST)Give her my best, and good luck!

--Dieter the Bold 11:22, 13 August 2008 (MST) Indeed. Best wishes to you both!!

--Gdaze 12:01, 13 August 2008 (MST) Most important things first: Yes, please give her all our best, we are all hoping for a quick and safe surgery! I'm praying for both of you.

Also, yes, that block is really fun actually.

--Edmiao 15:00, 13 August 2008 (MST) thanks guys. yeah, i like that block, i like abilities like replicate and such, they seem less unbalanced than wither and are quite fun to play with. i'm thinking about a blue/red deck themed similar to your dragon draw deck but without the dragon.

--Matts 15:45, 13 August 2008 (MST)Dammit I'm planning on a blue-red nucklavee deck! What the hell??

--Edmiao 16:21, 13 August 2008 (MST) that's an awesome card. do we have it? that plus Izzet and Anarchist (we have one of each, i think). pair that with the four Vedalken Masterminds i just got.... and with the one Eye of the Storm we have. that was my thought. we could make this deck together...

--Matts 17:37, 13 August 2008 (MST)I think we have two or three nucklavees. Eye of the storm is an incredible match there. We should throw in our Jaws of Stones too.

--Brandon 00:41, 14 August 2008 (MST) I'm (also) sending good thoughts towards Cheryl and Ed.

--Matts 13:07, 14 August 2008 (MST)Magic the Gathering Nucklavee Deck

Next step in Super Heroes

What's the role of super hero? Is it to protect the innocent? Punish the guilty? Keep a captured villain in a closet and occasionally throw him some Sun Chips?

The Guardians are thinking long and hard about this moral conundrum...

GABE: That was super heroes at their bestest. How about what the heck do we do with all these people we keep beating up??? No place can hold them! I mean Viho only has so many closets.

Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy
