Current events
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?
--Gdaze 15:07, 14 August 2008 (MST) Well let me know if you still wanna duel this Friday Brandon. I was thinking around 7 pm? Avoid a bit of the traffic that way and no real need to start at six eh? Let me know, cell is 425-208-9143.
--Brandon 15:39, 14 August 2008 (MST) Hmmm. Yes, I do have to pick up my decks, and I'll have to figure out if I have access to a car, but I'm interested. I'll give you a call.
--Gdaze Noelle and I have transportation abilities as well. Known as a car actually, quite useful really.
--Brandon 10:22, 15 August 2008 (MST) Sweet. It actually would be really useful if you could pick me up, or come over to my place, or something. I'm not sure how I would get out otherwise. I still also need to figure out how to get decks. Dieter, when will you be home tonight? Even if that doesn't work, we can just play with your decks, Gabe. Holla.
--Gdaze I'm fairly sure Dieter doesn't work on Fridays, so depending on what time your out you could get them. Yeah I could pick you up, U district? Let me knows.
--Dieter the Bold 10:53, 15 August 2008 (MST) I'm actually working overtime today and then going to a co-workers goodbye dinner/party at 7pm. Our next door neighbor, whose apartment number I can get, has a key to help look after Loki. So I can email her and ask if she'd be cool letting you in to pick up the decks. I can't promise she'll be home when you show up, but she seems pretty chill.
--Brandon 11:22, 15 August 2008 (MST) Cool Cool. Gabe, I will be at my house, but could easily get over to the U-District if that's easier for you. Dieter, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, it'd be awesome if you can e-mail your chill neighbor. I imagine we would be swinging by (Gabe, we could drop by BnD on the way to your house?) in between 6:30 and 7ish. Let me know if I could do any calling/e-mailing to facilitate any of this.
--Gdaze-- I think your house will be a bit hard for me to find, but I know the street next to it well enough. That one with Dick's and the donut place. Just tell me where and I'll pick ya up there. And yeah, we'll swing by Dieter's and Ben's place after we pick ya up. What time I should pick you up?
--Brandon 12:12, 15 August 2008 (MST) I'll meet you in the parking lot of Dick's. I'm pretty flexible on the time. Does 6:30ish seem reasonable? Really, just tell me when would work best and I'll be there.
--Gdaze -- That sounds fine, or around 6:40ish perhaps. I may just grab a bite to eat there. See 'round dat time!
--Brandon 14:14, 15 August 2008 (MST) Perfect. See you then and there.
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
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
--Gdaze -- So I think for next time we should all try and make a theme deck. Not like elves, or goblins, or whatever. But like "Communism" or "Zoo" or even "The State Fair", and we put in only cards we think have something to do with it. For example, zoo wouldn't have any counters, but Communism mind have Mind Boogle. I dunno, just a way for us to use less used cards but in a themed deck, kinda like Matt's "Da Bears" deck or "I'm the Juggernaut" deck. If you like it post your idea here and maybe next Friday we can try a hand.
--Matts 16:49, 15 August 2008 (MST)dammit, the bears deck and the juggernaut were the same thing!!!!
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.
