Revision as of 18:57, 9 November 2007

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

11/9/07

BEN: present. I

--Gdaze-- Or lets just hold it at my place? I lack a good table but I think I can put something together... oh shit... were my 4x4s ruined in the flood...

--Edmiao 14:15, 4 November 2007 (MST) present, maybe cheryl also.

--Edmiao 00:07, 9 November 2007 (MST) Ben, I'll split a pizza with you if you want. post by 5pm so i know, otherwise i'll fend for myself again. as long as we don't get that microsoft millionaire expensive pizza. i could pick up pudge. what's the special you usually get? Gabe want any, we could get a single monster size?

BEN: I'm in. at pudge I get the "takeout special" which is a monster 1-topping...pepperoni or red onion are good choices.

--Edmiao 09:13, 9 November 2007 (MST) check. sounds like the three of us. ben, you showing up at 6? gabe if i show at 6 do we have something to do? set up the heroscape board? (ben has my magic cards)

--Gdaze-- If possible, I'd perfer you show up no earlier then 6:30! Well I've got one board set up... Hmm you could even arrive as early as 6:20 I suppose.

Jason, are you coming tonight? Can I just give you my HDC file tonight then? Cause it always sends as html... hmmm oh wait d'uh. I can just zip it...

Ranting and raving or other random comments

BEN: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!! My God, My God, why hast thou been so cruel to me (yes, it's gone already, I checked):
[1]

--Jason 12:10, 8 November 2007 (MST)Holy mother of fuck.

--Edmiao 12:25, 8 November 2007 (MST) jesus thou art a cruel god. In other news, i just spend 2 hours at microsoft doing a usability study. they usually give one gratuity, but they gave me two for a longer study. for one of my gratuities, i got MS Office 2007 Professional (a $500 value) that I already have lined up a buyer for $270. Apparently this buyer is in the market for lots of Office software. cha ching! The other one i am going to get in january and hopefully get another MS Office 2007 (if you go over $600 you have to pay taxes). if you want to do it, sign up here

Gabe: Daaaaaayyyyyymmmmmnnn! Hard to believe he gives all that crap away for free.

--Edmiao 15:30, 7 November 2007 (MST) Gabe, monochrome decks are for losers. that said, they will likely do well against my decks because i don't put much vs single color stuff in, but if we end up playing a lot i'm gonna have to make a white circle deck to teach you the error of your ways. dual color decks are very managable and the most fun. three plus color are real tricky.

--Edmiao 19:46, 8 November 2007 (MST)Ben, you're wecome to canibalize some of my decks, except the folowing because they are my favorite or are new: the red/green direct damage with Uzra lands, the 5 color deck, the blue white enchantment alteration deck, the unsummon blue and black deck.

--Gdaze-- Oh you use CoPs? Yeah thats okay, I mean those are little bitch cards but whatever floats your boat. YES, pre-emptive trash talking!

--Edmiao 15:52, 8 November 2007 (MST) CoP are as lame as monocolor decks and your mom.

--Gdaze -- Well your mama so easy her casting cost is one of every mana! (SNAP!) And you have a few mono-color decks!

--Edmiao 19:46, 8 November 2007 (MST) i do have some mono color decks. i made them for your mom.

--Gdaze-- Alright, I made a red and white deck, so now can Edie weddie be all better? Actually making the red and white deck was a lot of fun, a bit large though. I did a few practice hands and had a good mix of cards... almost too good as it used up my entire hand with-in a few turns. I'll see if I can't make a blue and green deck before tonight ends.

I may actually finish making the CoP deck I started to put together a few weeks ago. I like defensive play...

Other Non-RPG gaming Events

--Edmiao 14:15, 4 November 2007 (MST) Cheryl and I had a great time last night. thanks for cooking up some good grub Ben and Kim!

BEN: yeah, good times. it went from a quiet evening to a downright part-ay. we'll have to do it again next time kim is in town.

--Edmiao 12:02, 5 November 2007 (MST)i had forgotten how difficult it can be to learn robo rally. next time we'll play some easier to learn games.

--Gdaze-- Robo-Rally is hard to learn? Since when? If your losing just sit on an upgrade spot and blow everyone away!

--Edmiao 18:49, 5 November 2007 (MST) Roborally is hard to learn for some people who may have spend too much time with your mom and now are suffering from tertiary syphilis which has turned their brains into slimy goo. boo ya!

--Gdaze-- That sucked. Boo.

--Gdaze-- Holy crap! 99 pages of rules not counting the glossary! Reading these rules it awful too. The way they lay them out and the words they use to code everything. That is A LOT of rules for a CCG to have in my humble view, which is right, always, so shut up. http://www.wizards.com/magic/comprules/MagicCompRules071001.pdf

ALSO! Since when the fuck where magic cards so hard to find? I figured I'd pick up a new deck right? See what it is like. Toy R Us had known, despite having pokemon, yugioh, and some pony CCG. Boarder's doesn't carry any. No place in the mall did either (video game store and toy store). What the heck, I remember being able to get these things at 7-11's!

--Edmiao 20:27, 6 November 2007 (MST) Gary's games in seattle still has them, i presume that they would be at your local gaming store

--Gdaze 00:34, 7 November 2007 (MST) Yeah... and uncle's games has them here. The thing is there are none in Bellevue. So around my work... zilch. I pulled out my old cards today. I had a lot more then I thought but due to an event where my dad's tub overran, cause he wasn't paying attention, it dripped water on my box. Guess the damage was more then I thought. I have some cards I "think" I can fix... including a force of nature! GAH!

--Edmiao 08:47, 7 November 2007 (MST) brutal. would an iron work?

--Gdaze -- Hmm it might..., cept this morning my dad informed me our iron broke! Some were just totally damaged and have already been tossed, nothing too rare. I think the box absorbed water or something and I didn't notice it, and then the water transfered to the cards. Anyway, I really enjoyed playing last time and am looking forward to some more magic this Friday! I bought some new cards too, I have to say I really like the Asian expansion and the Future Sight series is pretty neat too. I got this one card that is disgusting. Its called "Ed".

ZING! Besides that, maybe we should just play at my place? I can clear off that table up stairs at least for the duration of heroscape. Oh! I also have some 4 X 4 boards I used for table top so we can just put one of those on the card table. Sound good, d'yeah?

--Gdaze-- Man nobody posts, lame. QUICK QUESTION! Since it is just us playing magic for fun, we can use cards from unglued and unhinged right? I found some boosters for really cheap... I will not get to into magic again... I won't, I won't, I won't... http://www.dacardworld.com/gaming/itemlist.das?Category=Magboxes&nCount=600&nPar=2 They have older cards that can't be used for fairly cheap...

--Edmiao 13:27, 7 November 2007 (MST) if you just want to expand your set, check out ebay and search "Magic the gathering lot". there is a lot of 750 cards closing in 8 minutes going for $1 plus $10 shipping. seems to be fairly regular occurence and at most these look like they go for $10-15 for the lot plus shipping. easy way to get a fuck load of commons (they all say "with rares" but who know how many rares are in there. I play with whatever cards, restricted or not. the cards that I own that are terribly unbalancing in just for fun play are Sol Rings (1 mana artifact tap to get 2 mana, that's ridiculous). I sometimes put them into decks that are fun but too slow.

--Gdaze-- Gotta love the Sol Rings, and cool cool. My other friend only plays tourny, and wins quite often, but I just enjoy the game. Reading the 99 page instruction manuel does not fill me with joy though. And sweeet, hope you are all ready for some magic! I'm gonna have hopefully 3 decks made, at least 2 reds and one black. I don't really do duel color... That is a nice deal but isn't as fun as opening new packs! Heh heh!
