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

--Dieter the Bold 12:08, 23 April 2009 (MST) I will be there next week for Supers, OAAA or magic or anything. I have been too long from your warm embraces. And I apologize for this.

--Gdaze -- Present. No pizza. Yes magic!

--Dieter the Bold 15:29, 28 April 2009 (MST) Oh yes, pizza please.

Edmiao absent

--Gdaze -- So is it just Dieter and me? Matt you coming or what? I have some things to ask your character.

--Matts -- I'll be there for sure.

--Dieter the Bold 10:59, 1 May 2009 (MST) So are we all doing our own thing for dinner or we getting a pizza or two?

BEN: I'm in for pizza, matt should be too. If you want pudge, you'll probably have to swing out there with my car to grab it...otherwise it'll be Hot Mama's, which is about hte same price. Just post here before 4:30 or so and let me know what you want to do.

--Matts I've actually got lunch leftovers that I plan on eating, but I'll get the pizza if it's from hot mama's, since it's on the way.

--Dieter the Bold 14:36, 1 May 2009 (MST) We'll do Hot Mama's, then, since it's just the two of us. Thanks Matt!

Quote(s) of the week

Elemental: (to police chief, who thanked them for their good work) That certainly isn't going to help Viho's colossal ego. (or something like that...)

CyberJesus: I'm so sick and tired of this bullshit Thomas Kinkaid police state!

Ashbury: I grow plants that may or may not be used for pharmaceutical purposes

Ranting and Raving

--Dieter the Bold 10:29, 3 May 2009 (MST) I'm going to Star Trek in the IMAX on Saturday, May 9th. Aiming for around 1 or 2pm. If people are interested in a group, let me know. My preference is Southcenter, but if a group gets together for Seattle Center I'm down with that.

Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events

GABE: Matt have you read Dungeon yet? I'm curious to see what you think of it.

Matts - It's a pretty inventive and well-told story. Definitely some chuckles to be had, and there's a surprising depth to the various characters. I'd have to say I'm in favor of it.

GABE: Cool, so far everyone I know whose read it likes it, although they've all been nerds or semi-nerds.

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

BEN: 3-1 in the sealed, 3-0 in my first draft, then an embarassing first round loss in my second draft (single elimination)...still don't really know how that happened the guy was a tol' n00b. But I won 13 packs! Got some great rares, including sen triplets, lavalanche, 2 knight of new alara, and a rafiq of the many. Behemoth sledge is disgusting, as are quasali pridemage and pale recluse. Including the cards I opened for the actual events, I have about...20 packs of Alara Reborn now for us to play with.

--Brandon 13:35, 26 April 2009 (MST) Sweet! Well done. I move that Ed not be allowed to read the ability text of Sen Triplets. Ever.

Edmiao Do i hear a second? no? well, let's just see what all the hub bub is about.... AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! must make control deck, cast other player spells...

BEN: the sen triplets are mythic, so I'm not giving them up until I know what they're worth. I did get "cloven casting" though, I think ed will shit himself over that one too, and its too expensive mana wise to ever be really valuable.

--Gdaze -- Man, these drafts sound fun, maybe I'll try to come along for one. Oh Brandon played his beat down deck (um, the one with the dragon?) against my warrior deck and I have to say I really enjoyed those match ups, twas bloody.

Edmiao you got cloven casting? that's totally going into eye of the storm deck. except that it's only multicolored spells, so only works for electrolyze, i think. It doesn't say "from your hand". What are the rules on copies, are copies of instants considered to be "played" when you put the copy in the stack? ie could you cast electrolyze, copy it, copy the copy, etc until you run out of mana? that would be 5 electrolyzes for 7 mana. course that think costs 7 mana, which is just as much as the eye of the storm.

503.10. To copy a spell or activated ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack; a copy of a spell or ability isn’t “played.”

negate all above comments. that card is worthless at 7 mana cost.

Next step in Super Heroes

-> 3. Drug dealers and criminals all over the city are getting beat up, and quotes from Oliver Cromwell are left at the scene.

Edmiao guess we missed that plot point entirely?

Matts No worries, if you guys tracked down every spitball I threw up, uh, the game wouldn't be very fun.

Matts - Indian Point Nuclear Reactor Pipe Leak - see what happens when you store a radioactive genius underground??

Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy

Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 215 XP

Plans to save Danny-Girl from the dragon

Fight the dragon, kill it

Lyra told us where to find the freezing Tears of _____ so we can put out the dragon's breath, right before she extinguished the eternal forge flame in our temple (bitch) by sucking its soul out like a vampire. She will help us fight the dragon. In return we agreed to let her strike the killing blow IF we successfully obtain the Tears. Other allies could also be enlisted in the fight.

Swindle all around

Talk to Grundbad, get him to fight the dragon and kill it. Also, talk to Oryxis, pledge to deliver the ruby shield in return he frees Danny-girl. Dragon dies: Danny free. Grundbad dies, danny free. Win - Win.

Deal with the dragon

Give the dragon something he wants more than Danny. Say the Ruby shield or freeing Iximion.

Dragon vs Dragon

Free Iximion, tell him Oryxis is getting up in his magic shit and doens't he want to kick the shit out of Oryxix for learning magic?
