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
7/25/08 -
--Dieter the Bold 16:35, 21 July 2008 (MST) Will be there. Down for pizza, as always.
GABE: Will be there of course, 6 magic on for anyone?
BEN: present, starting at 6 for magic. Also, if we end early, I may be going to First Pick Games to play in an eventide sealed deck at 1:30AM, in case anyone is crazy enough to join me.
--Edmiao 16:47, 22 July 2008 (MST) hardcore. i will not be doing that.
GABE:-- So Brandon, Matt, you guys coming? Also Noelle really wants to try out rping, so she may play Shadowgaze...
--Edmiao 09:40, 23 July 2008 (MST) that's great! would be fun for Noelle to join in. i am upping my chance to miss friday. maybe 25% chance i will be there, and not until 7pm at earliest. we may have inlaws in town.
--Brandon 10:46, 23 July 2008 (MST) Yeah, I'll be there and will be interested in pizza. Cool that Noelle's playing!
GABE: Tis all good Ed, I may give you an email tomorrow then about what your guy will be doing, or rather want to do. Brandon you there for six o'clock magic as well as Ben as me? And no pizza for me.
--Brandon 15:39, 23 July 2008 (MST) Yes. I plan to be there for six o'clock magicaction.
GABE: Anybody wanna help the economy tomorrow and draft? I'll be down for getting some cards, or paying people back who do.
--Brandon 22:25, 24 July 2008 (MST) I'm conceivably interested, though I won't have a car tomorrow afternoon/night. I might be able to pick up cards earlier in the day, but I'm not sure.
EDIT: Sound off if you are interested in drafting, especially if you think you might want me to pick up cards. We could possibly do Shadowmoor/Shadowmoor/Eventide. I'm also down with just playing constructed, so I'm not trying to force the issue. I'm just following up on Gabe's suggestion.
GABE: You know, its kinda late I guess to do a draft. Plus I realized I need to play my decks a few more times to test them out. I shouldn't expect a deck I make to win right off the bat. That said, normal magic for tonight eh? Also, assuming someone doesn't try to steal Noelle's car again today, we can can people rides home who needs them.
BEN: yeah, i'm gonna go play tomorrow, so I'd rather play constructed as well.
--Brandon 10:52, 25 July 2008 (MST) Sweet. Constructed it is. Gabe, I would love a ride home. If someone is picking up pizza at Pudge, I'll tag along with the pizza. If not, I'll bus it. Just let me know so I can plan accordingly.
Ranting and raving or other random comments
--Edmiao 14:50, 19 July 2008 (MST) Jason, mind if i copy a few pages out of ultimate skill sometime? i just want the like 7 pages on ultimate scientist, but couldn't justify buying the book for just that table.
JASON: Depends on what you mean by copy. I dont want that book put on a copy machine (it breaks the binding), but if you just want to look at it and write down what you need, thats fine.
Gabe: Just for others who don't know. They have a fifth edition, and a fifth edition revised at the Half Price Books in Crossroads. The revised one is only 20 bucks.
--Edmiao 14:24, 25 July 2008 (MST) actually i'm gonna buy it after all.
Other RPG or Non-RPG gaming Events
Magic this thursday 7/24 7pm
--Edmiao 16:28, 21 July 2008 (MST)anyone, anyone, beulow?
-BEN: I'm in. The faerie deck manhandled the elf deck last friday...I'm going to make some more changes to it, see if I can't return it to its former glory.
--Edmiao 17:09, 21 July 2008 (MST)shame on your family name for generations to come! what time? we can also discuss character concepts if needs be. i want to look up a cat in the bestiary.
--Brandon 23:44, 22 July 2008 (MST) First of all, props to Ed for the Ferris shout-out. Second of all, I really quite doubt that I can get away. 'Twoud likely have to involve subterfuge of some sort. Our washer is broken, so one possible ruse would be if I could do laundry at the BnD spot while we played. But I do not promise that I could execute such a plan.
--Edmiao 09:41, 23 July 2008 (MST) i got to give ben and brandon respect for their magic dedication. gabe, i'm happy to play series of head to heads trading off with you ben and i. odd man out can make decks and such. or we could do 2head giant where one person plays both heads of their team. that would be interesting.
--Gdaze-- Yeah they are hardcore. Sure, we'll see if I can't come by tomorrow. I been finishing off organizing my cards and would like to tweek my pestalence and draw deck... but we have Friday to play too. I couldn't play too long on Thursday, gotta work on the adventure, of course, plus got some other things going on.
--Gdaze-- UM QUICK QUESTION... Where is this one tonight? Ben's and Dieter's as usual? Let me know, thanks!
--Edmiao 13:46, 24 July 2008 (MST) yes BnD 7pm
KIM: Hello from Burbank, and kick some butts, you magicking peoples, you.
GABE: I think you meant MAGIC KINGs. Mwuhahaha.
shindig on aug 30/31
JASON: Also, I will be having a massive shindig for mine and Rumi's birthdays on either August 30th or 31st. I would like to see as many of you jokers as possible attend. 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?
GABE: I'd like to come, I'm trying to be more social. A central and big location for partying thats cheap? *insert your mom comment*
KIM: Oooh, I'll be back in town then, might have a job that weekend, but will try to keep it during reasonable hours so that I can show up and commandeer the potato chip bowl... *nom nom nom*
--Dieter the Bold 16:37, 21 July 2008 (MST) Will be moving into a new place, but should be able to spare a day. Consider me attending. The only venue I could think of that's sorta' central and maybe reasonably priced is an educational building. Gym of a high school, community college, Seattle U., etc.

Do any of you jerks want anything?
BEN: hah, I'm getting some more shadowmoor/lorwyn/morningtide cards tomorrow :).
GABE: Wow, actually those ARE pretty good prices, on average about 10 bucks cheaper there were I order my cheapest stuff.
--Edmiao 09:50, 18 July 2008 (MST) how much are those boxes going for?
GABE: I think the number infront is how much they are.
JASON: Yes, the first number is price and hte number after is how many he has.
GABE: Are you still in contact with this dude? Too bad he doesn't have any of the guild sets...
JASON: Yes, I can email him. He is kind of being a jerk about meeting though, he is refusing to leave Kirkland and I dont know if its really worth it to drive out there for cards at these prices (good, but not great). If you want some stuff, then it probably becomes more worth it to make a deal.
--Gdaze 21:43, 23 July 2008 (MST) Oh I just got this... http://www.trollandtoad.com/p141081.html Kinda cool!
BEN: turns out the eventide tournament is SATURDAY at 1:30 PM. Glad I got that sorted out. I'll probably end up going to that. I also, against my better judgment, played in a shadowmoor/shadowmoor/eventide draft tonight. Made some errors in drafting, made some errors in play, but went 3-2, each match best 2 of 3, so I'm happy. I played mono-red, so I've got a couple of nasty cards in red/blue, red/green, and red/white.
--Gdaze-- Sweet dude, I think I just need to play my decks more to I can figure out how to improve them.
The Next Step in Werewolf
--Gdaze 13:59, 16 July 2008 (MST) The Caren is under attack! What will our heroes do? Who do they save, who can they save? How did villians find them so quickly?
Oh ALSO, should I make this the last run for WW? Do we want to start fantasy after Matt's next 3 episodes of supers?
--Edmiao 16:27, 21 July 2008 (MST) OAAAA seems to be accelerating. i am fine with either. I will likely continue to have several absences or tardies over the next several months with visitors and surgeries and such (cheryl's surgery probably august 14th), so i defer to others on the decision, and would anyway since i'm fine with either.
--Edmiao 18:41, 21 July 2008 (MST) thought about this more on way home. i think that, gabe, if you have some interesting plots brewing or have directions you would like to see the game go, then we should continue. if you are scratching your head, or if you are more interestedin OAAAA, then we should switch. so i defer to gabe, not the other players.
