| − | JASON: Dieter and I have been talking about doing a board gaming day/night, and the 15th is our chosen day. I can host at my house or if Dieter is amenable we can do his place. I will be bringing the following games if it is not at my house (if it is they will all be available as well.):

| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 13:08, 3 March 2008 (MST)Interested! been trying to work up a board game session for months. also would love to introduce y'all to [http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/3076 PuertoRico]. Might be able to host as well.
| + | Attendance: |
| | | | |
| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 14:02, 3 March 2008 (MST) I'd be down with having it at the apartment, but happy to trek over to your place if you'd prefer. I'll look over the games and see what strikes my fancy, but I'd probably vote against Dune, since we've already played it before and I want to get something new on. | + | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 10:09, 10 March 2008 (MST) Yes for Cheryl and I |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: Puerto Rico is great! If we have enough people we might even be able to do two games at once. Rumi is in as well, and possibly the elusive Matt#2. And Dieter, I would be fine with playing the new games, love to try em, but Dune will be around as well for backup purposes.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 14:08, 4 March 2008 (MST) Schweet. Always good to have backups. I'll talk to Ben and see about our place. Which would you prefer if our place is available?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: uh...I'll be out of town from the 14th to the 23rd (the two friday absences are already noted above) visiting my sisters and Kim's family in New York, so the house is all yours, dieter. If you throw a party, just remember that there is to be NO poop in the fish tank. Thank you.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: I suggest we do it at BnD or at my place, just because I will be on call that weekend and Ed's is less convenient if I have to go anywhere. My house is much better organized than it was previously, if that makes a difference. Either way, its on!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 13:43, 5 March 2008 (MST) If we could do it at my place, I looked through my concerts and there's one Saturday evening at 8pm. So if we can play at BnD, I can roll until 7 and then have to bounce out.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: Its settled. BnD lets say about 11 or 12? How is that for everyone? I am going to consult with Rumi and see what kind of food we can bring, hopefully it will be BBQ weather.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 16:48, 5 March 2008 (MST) 11/12 works for me. I know we have briquets and the like, so whatever you want to bring should work, Odin permitting.

| − | BEN: hey gabe, can I borrow one of your demonic tutors? I want to incorporate it into a deck this friday. Also, Brandon, I've found a bunch of goblins in my old cards, and I think I'm going to disassemble the TIM deck, so you can have those spikeshot goblins, which should nastify your deck, I think.
| + | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 10:09, 10 March 2008 (MST)Brandon, didn't have time last night. how about thursday evening for magic online? |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 15:17, 5 March 2008 (MST) remember, turor is restricted, one per deck. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I know, but I think your cards have at most one, and if so, its in a deck.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 15:36, 5 March 2008 (MST) Sweet, I like nasty goblinssss. Ed, I've been having fun with Magic Workstation, so thanks for that.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: Just to rules lawyer a bit more, if you are a super competitive type, restricted doesnt mean you can only have one in your deck, it means that you can never draw more than one from your library during a game. So, you could have 4 of them in your deck to increase the chance of drawing that card, but if you happen to get two in your hand, or draw a second one, you lose the game. Of course, the opponent only knows this if they inspect your hand and graveyard after the game (which is legal and encouraged in tournament play).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This is null and void if the rules on this happen to have changed...;-)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 19:37, 5 March 2008 (MST) that's nuts. i think we should not play that way. and there are zero demonic tutors in the big set. Brandon, we should play on magic workstation. i have some decks and it has an online play function. i've tried it out once or twice, it's ok. it doesn't do anything for you except make decks and show you cards. ie there's no auto resolving damage and such, you tell it when to throw creatures into the graveyard. but it's free and you have all the cards. i have several decks made and you can use the world tournament decks to kick my ass. when i played with my bro in law, we used skype to talk.

| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 21:57, 5 March 2008 (MST) Yeah, I've been playing online (in fact, I'm about to play in a second) with a piddly T2 goblin deck, and a ridiculous elf deck I found online. I get disconnected a lot, but it's fun and free. Let's arrange some time to play before too long.

| − | BEN: alright, say I have an enchant creature that says, "1 colorless: creature gets +1/-1 until end of turn" if I cast this enchantment on an enemy creature, the enchantment is still under my control, so I get to do the mana spending, etc, right? Or can my opponent do it instead/as well?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 12:12, 6 March 2008 (MST)you control the enchantment, the enchantment targets some creature. only you can pay the cost
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: just looking on the WOTC website, found a crazy deck with 0 lands. basically uses a bunch of "discard x color card to not pay the casting cost" cards, along with 5 color legendary cards. Hilarious, and potentially deadly. It's in the blog about last year's World Championship.

| − | [[Ignotus]]: gentlemen, events are heating up. with war thrust upon us, we must think quickly: for war represents both great risks and significant opportunity for those who know how to use it. <br>
| |
| − | If we can think how to make best use of it, the River of Echoes represents by far our most valuable asset. This river would allow us limitless smuggling from tilea: not only that, but because kreutzhofen sits at one mouth, it could be turned into a massive source of income for the town and catapult it to the forefront of local trading. We may also be able to use it to rapidly move tilean troops into the empire, something of significant value in the current conflict (at least in the baroness' eyes, but more on that later). There are, of course, still challenges to this: first, the cave is completely overrun by rat men. Second, the oriental fellow insists that a water demon, or water monster at least, infests the cave, and I imagine it must be dealt with before navigating the river is possible. Third, we know nothing of the geography of the cave. Fourth, it is absolutely crucial that we keep the existence, and the locatio of the cave a secret: if others were to realize its potential, they would be quick to take it from us.<br>
| |
| − | The cave, to my mind, also raises interesting questions about the baroness: I can think of only two reasons she would ask us to get troops from tilea, clearly an impossible task given over land or sea geography: either to get rid of us by giving us an impossible task, or because she knows that we know of the location and identity of the river of echoes. Let us assume for the moment that Dimentis' reports rule out the first: in that case, how could she know? I think the fact that she found nothing regarding the water poisoning is important evidence here, because to me, it suggests that the baroness von toppenheimer should be a prime suspect for being in league with the rat men: they are the only ones who know of the cave, and if she were in league with them, she would have been able to cover up the existence of the water plot and then, to free herself of suspicion, attempt to seek it out nonetheless.<br>
| |
| − | regardless of whether she is in league with the rat men or not, I am curious what her motives are for summoning a mercenary army from the notorious city of miragliano. Nevertheless, I see this as a golden opportunity to increase our own power: we represent the crucial conduit between the baroness and this general. We are also the primary conduit between the count and the baroness. Regardless of how we wish to proceed, I think that we must think long and hard about how we will protect what we have won first, and how we will increase it as well. I think that we should seek to get as much of the credit as possible for bringing troops to the empire's aid. I think that we should search for opportunities in all of this chaos to replace the Count as wardens of this region. And I think we should seek to consolidate our control of the river of echoes, and to begin exploiting it as quickly as possible. <br>
| |
| − | one other point. The castellan-countess von liebowitz is a notorious schemer, who is rumored to be arch rivals with Salud-al-din...but what if she is in fact in league with him?

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.
