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
3/21/08
--Dieter the Bold 11:52, 16 March 2008 (MST) Gone to Norwescon 31.
JASON: Notice that this week both Ben and Dieter are unavailable, so Gabe will need to host. If he cant, and you guys are interested, let me know by Wednesday or so and I could probably have a one shot available.
--Gdaze -- Well I know we still have Lee, Matt and Ed. I can host, I just recently up'd my chair count. I will also have a nice couch fairly soon, maybe even by Friday! Anyways, I can still run Werewolf if need be, granted we will have a much smaller group but I'd like to run it if the characters are down for it. I should be feeling better as well.
--Edmiao 08:30, 17 March 2008 (MST) glad to hear you are feeling better. we've always defined quorum as 3 players + 1 gm. so i'm good to go for WW.
Ranting and raving or other random comments
FREE CHEESE: Yep, thats right. I have TONS of cheese of reserve quality and anyone who wants some, come get it! Its way more than I can eat (10+ pounds). Its still wrapped in cheesecloth. Have at it, folks.
--Matts 11:21, 17 March 2008 (MST)HOLY MOTHER OF GOOSEDOWN POOP PILLOWS I want in on that! When should I come get it?
--Edmiao 11:30, 17 March 2008 (MST)dude. so want cheese. do i have to drive all the way to your house?
JASON: I can meet you guys both somewhere like Cap Hill, especially since I go to Half Price Books all the time.
--Edmiao 11:38, 17 March 2008 (MST)sweet. when? i could do after work today or any day really.
GABE: HOLY CRAP!
JASON: I am meeting Matt for lunch tomorrow, how about I give him your wheel too, Ed? You can grab it from him Friday.
--Edmiao 13:16, 17 March 2008 (MST) sweetness
GABE: Anyway I could get in on that sweet sweet cheese as well? If possible I'd like Matt to grab mine too... Thanks if I can, or not!
JASON: No problem, 3 wheels of cheese, coming right up!
--Gdaze 22:03, 17 March 2008 (MST) Sweet dude! Thanks! Although I know I will see you evetually if you want to give him a few hero clix maps kekeke, oh wow, moocher be me...
Other Non-RPG gaming Events
Game day seemed to go very well. After speaking with Dieter and others, I am creating the following page so we can track future events: Monthly Board Gaming Day
--Edmiao 08:30, 17 March 2008 (MST) Cheryl and i had a great time. sorry to ditch out a little early, you can blame Deiter's bean dip induced abdominal distress. Cheryl felt better after some flatulance and burping. I never wrote this.
-- Gdaze: Hahaha!
--Dieter the Bold 12:12, 17 March 2008 (MST) Dude, I totally had my bathroom all cleaned up. She was welcome to make frequent visits. Did she think it wasn't clean enough? Ben/Kim would've been fine if she wanted to camp out in their bathroom, I'm sure. I know I had to make more frequent visits than normal.
Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking
-- Matts: I got Magic Workstation, assembled some blue white decks, and am ready for them to fail!
--Edmiao 08:30, 17 March 2008 (MST)eeeexccelent. when shall we play? How about thursday? I'm trying to make a millstone deck without millstones out of our real set. kind of difficult
--Matts 15:11, 17 March 2008 (MST)Thursday no go for me; guests in town. We'll figure some time out. As an aside, what other good sacrifice-land-for-benefit cards are there besides Zuran Orb?
--Edmiao 17:06, 17 March 2008 (MST) Matt, jason played your blue white deck last weekend and he got the uber combo, cast balance, then he cast the 8/8 monster and gave all his lands to Matt#2. then matt#2 unsummoned the 8/8 monster. it was rad.
--Matts 18:11, 17 March 2008 (MST)Yeah, the thing getting bounced is sort of a problem. A guy online made a nasty deck with an enchantment that lets players choose to force a draw to go to the graveyard for 2 life, Zur's Wierding, I think. Really you need to know what the other guy's got in his hand. But if you balance at the right time, it'll take at least 2 turns for the other guy to get the mana to unsummon, right?
It's pretty pathetic that I spent a significant chunk of my weekend thinking up sky swallower combos. Damn you, card game!
--Edmiao 18:16, 17 March 2008 (MST)right, that was the problem that jason had. he balanced, then next turn he cast biggie. if he had 7 land, he could have loaded up the mana pool, cast biggie, given away all his land, and then used the 2 mana in his mana pool to cast balance as long as opponents had a creature. timing is important in magic. i spent a few hours trying to make a millstone deck and in the end i don't think it will work.
BEN: ummm...getting a little into magic, are we?
JASON: Unsummon only costs one blue. Its a chance you have to take with this kind of combo. Consider the instance where you opponent is playing green and/or red, little chance to send the creature away, they have to deal with it the old fashioned way. I would prefer to cast the creature after balance, ensuring nobody has any creatures but you. In this case you can maximize the damage it does before it goes away. Also, had Ed not been able to cast a bunch of instants in response to Balance I would have been able to draw a bunch of cards over the next couple of turns, which would have been critical.
