| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 15:04, 26 August 2008 (MST) comment directed at ben, but i thought i'd post it in case others were intereseted. Ben, if you are going to write a book you may want to familiarize yourself with some of MS word's features as it may be a pain to go back an reformat an entire book and you had some weird section breaks in there. also, and this is the part others may be interested in, you can buy MS office 2007 for $60 right now, which is like $340 off the asking price, i think. You have to be a "student", which means you have to have a .edu email address [http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx The Ultimate Steal]

| − | JASON: You can pretty much always buy MS Office student edition for under $100, thats its regular price. The license agreement stipulates that you can only use it while you are in school and must uninstall it when you are no longer attending. You can find them on ebay pretty much anytime.

| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 16:31, 26 August 2008 (MST) Guy here at work says that this is Office Heavy whereas normally student discount gets Office Light. whatever, $60 is very reasonable for office, i think. that's why i just bought it and charged it to my work!

| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 17:25, 26 August 2008 (MST) My dad works at Microsoft. I could talk him into a company store purchase if you needed it.

| + | == Ranting and Raving == |
| | | | |
| − | --[[User:Matts|Matts]] 09:07, 27 August 2008 (MST)Any laptop appropriate for current-generation gaming is going to basically be the most expensive laptop you can find, and on top of that will likely not scale well, which is to say in a year it'll be fast but bigger than laptops of comparable speed, and in two years it'll be average-slow speed, and in three plus if it works at all it'll be out of date.
| + | '''Best Trek Movies:'''<br> |
| | | | |
| − | '''GABE:''' Great... I did find one for about 2,000 I kinda liked. I just want one that I can play the Sims II on, Sim City 4, COH, and perhaps WH Online. Oh and Spore, long as it can handle those I'm good.

| + | --[[User:Jason|Jason]] 12:38, 22 January 2013 (MST)Ladies and gentledudes, I have received an email from Ed and he is officially populating the earth with Edlings. He now has two kids, a boy (Theo) and a girl (Ella). He seems to be doing well, and I continue to be jealous of him. Reckanize. |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: I have had a lot of luck with Dell laptops. If you get them from the outlet they are cheaper and still perform and have warranties.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 09:59, 27 August 2008 (MST) I have an HP monster laptop, which is more like a portable desktop because it is so huge. I've had it for 6 years and besides the power button being kind of hard to get to trigger and the built in mouse buttons not working well it is great. pretty good for a 6 year old computer that i use constantly at work every day. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: I just looked on the outlet and I found an XPS M1710 with 2 gig of ram, Blu-Ray drive and the 512MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX for under $1500. Personally I buy mid to low range machines and sell the old one every year. They only depreciate about $75, so for that plus shipping I have a new laptop with a warranty every year. I have been doing it for 5 years, it rules.

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?
| + | |

| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 11:59, 26 August 2008 (MST) Okay.. I'm gonna check this more often even on weekends now... I would have been down for playing. I guess I should get work station up and running.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: I'll probably be doing more of the sporadic magic nights starting mid-september, when Kim is out of town...the next few weeks it'll be kept mostly to fridays, I think. <br>

| − | KIM: btw, I'm back! I'll be out of town again Sept 17- Oct 26.... Home Oct 27- Nov 4, Then back on the road again Nov 5 through the end of the year. FYI, I may get a bit greedy on the "bonding-time with Ben" for the several days that I AM here in Seattle according to that schedule. You've been warned.

I notice that Ben's car will be in Portland for the weekend with his sister, and Brandon will be MIA, I'll be shooting Friday late afternoon and can pick up pizza on my way home, if there are no other volunteers, and if everyone can wait to eat until 7 or 8... lemme know.

| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 17:27, 26 August 2008 (MST) I'm packing this week for the move, Gabe, so if you want to get some CoV going, let's set up a time beforehand. When you will be awake.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''GABE:''' Alright, I need to Email Matt#2 also. Um, how about today? Say around 8? Maybe play for an hour?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Weekly [[Magic]] Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: made two new decks: a blue draw deck and a green biggy deck based around morph creatures, turn to mist, and momentary blink.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | MATT: My Homarid deck did a lot better than I figured!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: I have lots of good morph creatures but I never use morph. Maybe we can make some deals. Also, let me know how Affinity fares on Friday.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 12:39, 25 August 2008 (MST) that affinity for artifacts dragon? i cast it last friday and used ashnolds transmorgant to make two enemy creatures into artifacts which were then removed from the game. but it was an emporer game, and i don't think the deck is fast enough to get the dragon out reliably before death. that said, i had an atog that i did not play which would have helped in the early game.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: no, no: Jason has an affinity for artifacts deck that he brought on saturday and I had so much fun playing it that I asked him to leave it at my place so I could run it against some other decks this friday.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 12:48, 25 August 2008 (MST)oh, i have no doubt it will kick the ass on my atog artifact deck. and probably most of my decks actually.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: It has a Megatog in it. It used to have 3. I cant decide if I like them.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 13:26, 25 August 2008 (MST) wow. we definitely have to match these decks up so i can learn how much i suck at making decks. mine has one Megatog in it (we only have one). It has 4 [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=83629 Terrarion], 4 [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=135279 Chromatic Star], and 4 [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=142004 Elsewhere Flasks] all designed to get card draw from artifacts sacrificed to the Atog.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: My big deck building problem is recognizing defense. I dont know what is a good defensive card (or when its over/undercosted) or how many to include. I made my mill deck and tried it against the Affinity deck, and it got WORKED. Ben totally took me to school. Same with my sacrifice deck, which is a good idea in theory, but it just doesnt have balanced defense (again, pwned by Affinity). When the combos work, they kick ass, but its too iffy. After playing that world championship deck, I know I need some help. That thing relies on one card to do damage that has only 2 in the deck and it works every time. I believe I have played 10 games with it and its 9-1. Defense plus card draw plus patience equals world championship.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: One more thing. You know you cant sacrifice something to two effects, right? So if the Terrarion is sacrificed to the Megatog you cant respond by getting the mana (you do get the card, however).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 14:00, 25 August 2008 (MST) Yep, i know. but all i want is in effect 1 colorless mana for +2/+2 draw a card, not a bad effect.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | defense is key. the trick is to have adequate defense against a variety of decks. it changes with the environment of what decks we are playing. with the current kinship themes of the block, creature kill has become much more important than it was. but then ben made a nice enchantment focused deck, which makes anti-enchantment key in our current play. and it's hard to drop key cards in my combo/theme to make room for defense. that's what makes magic fun!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: Affinity pretty much uses direct damage and Boomerang as its defense, and given how fast and versatile its offense is, that works. The sacrifice deck is black and red, so it has a couple of creature kills, a couple of land kills, and thats it. I dont know how to mess with enchantments reliably with those colors.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == 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]] ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Fun things for friday to look forward to:<br>
| + | |
| − | 1.) The Map of Amora <br>
| + | |
| − | 2.) The "Random Magic Item" Table<br>
| + | |
| − | 3.) The 11th hour characters (a blood elf ranger and possible others)<br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: well, we all know that I'm the most draconian of our group's GMs, so it's time for me to crack the ol' whip. I'm actually very pleased with the laizez faire attitude we've all taken to making characters, it fits exactly with my sense of the fantasy trope for story beginnings (5 strangers meet in a smoky inn...). HOWEVER, I would like very much to actually have looked at a FINAL version of everybody's character sheet before we start, promptly at 7, tomorrow. That means that if you no post'a you character sheet on the wiki before 5:30 or so tomorrow, you'll have to take precious magicking time to chat with me about your character. <br>
| + | |
| − | One more thing. The game will begin late at night, say around midnight on a Thursday night. You should all think about where your character would be at that time. ALSO, if any of y'all want to be connected to each other in any way, that's up to you to work out, I'm fine if the first session is the first time any of you hear about it.<br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Some restrictions, as I think of them:<br>
| + | |
| − | Tithe: You 'can't' start in the temple of the forge grounds. Typically, you are designated to guarding some of the holdings of the Forge Temple off the temple grounds on a regular basis: it's not terribly desirable work, and you are as close to a slave as it gets (slavery is outlawed on Caminus), so it falls to you. Only favored/trusted guards have been selected for keeping people off the temple grounds since the deadly crimson fever killed one of the lower priestesses. You have not seen or heard from Daenerys in a week or more.<br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 11:49, 22 August 2008 (MST) Quick request, although no rush in getting it done. Could we get a list of the magic schools that are open to most humans? Its really hard to find who can do what in that big list of nations.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Karthayans: Stone/Earth Magic<br>
| + | |
| − | Eburon: Summoning <br>
| + | |
| − | Csara: Shadow Magic <br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If a character is from these places they can practice the appropriate magic. All humans also have access to Hag and Druid magic.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 12:11, 22 August 2008 (MST) Ben, are the two psychological limitations I added going to be enough to add up to 30pts. of disads? If so, I should be all set. At least, I've spent all of my points, though there are some things that I'm not sure about given that point spending (see the ??s on my char. sheet). I'll repeat my request for someone to throw Tithe into HeroDesigner (or whatever it's called) and print him out for me. Otherwise, I'll just copy what I have onto PAPER using a PEN *gasp*.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]]-- Thank ya thank ya! (continues to ignore Brandon) Sorry, I actually slept all yesterday... Dieter can attest to that as I missed playing CoV, sorry man!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 16:23, 22 August 2008 (MST) That I can. After berating me for not being on. And after setting up a specific time. l4m3r!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: one small note for friday...I didn't like how I just deus-exed a special item at the end of last session, so I'm going to nix that. It'll just mean more story relevant lootz in the next few sessions.
