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
Edmiao been a long hiatus. who's in this week? I will be there, no pizza. what's the game, we did do a couple of supers in those "????" slots above, was it two sessions of supers, or did you all play on 4/3?
Matts supers is fine with me. Got to do some work to get caught up, but no problem.
--Gdaze 10:49, 14 April 2009 (MST) Matt should I email you about whats up with my character then? And I shall be attending Friday.
--Matts 13:39, 14 April 2009 (MST)Yeah, email me Gabe.

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!

--Dieter the Bold 11:52, 13 April 2009 (MST) Hey, now. I've been getting my geek on down at Norwescon 32. It was pretty fun. They had a fuckton of D&D luminaries there which generated some hilarious stories when you got several together and they started shooting the shit and reminiscing. I'm totally down for a pirates game! Watched Dorkness Rising and have to agree with a line from that movie, "Everything's better with pirates!" That said, if opinion went towards PA I'd be down. I totally didn't (and still don't really) understand the whole Dyson sphere setting, so I wasn't very enthused about it.
Edmiao still down for any game. just make a good hook
--Gdaze 10:48, 14 April 2009 (MST) Erased the above as it was becoming far too much. Anyway, with two down strongly for pirates I think I will write something up for that. As Ed said, it must have a good hook, or should... or I need to make one.
Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking
ED: anyone use iGoolge? mtg backdrop
--Gdaze 11:31, 30 March 2009 (MST) +5 nerd points. Although that is cool.
--Gdaze-- So the match ups up were pretty intense last night, several games with both Brandon and I at under 10 life. That said I think I can now say that my warrior deck is fairly strong in one on one games. (Brandon, how did warriors and elementals fair again?)
--Brandon 11:29, 6 April 2009 (MST) Yes, 'twas good. Warriors and Elementals were a good matchup. If I remember correctly, it was either 1-1 or 2-1 (in elementals' favor).
--Brandon 11:29, 6 April 2009 (MST) I apologize in advance to everyone - except Ed - for posting this:
"Q: In an EDH game, one player has both Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir as well as Eye of the Storm. Is that as broken as we think it is?
A: Pretty much. Copies from Eye of the Storm are played during the resolution of the Eye's triggered ability. That's a time when a sorcery normally can't be played, so Teferi stops everybody else at the table from getting copies out of the Eye.
It's also important to remember that the instant or sorcery that triggers Eye of the Storm gets removed from the game, so it never resolves. A copy of it can be created, but that does no good if it can't be played.
I'm definitely writing that combo down; I haven't been banned from my local EDH group, so my deck obviously isn't broken enough."
--Gdaze 12:18, 6 April 2009 (MST) I move that the Eye of the Storm's picture be changed to the 3rd ed. Terror picture. http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?id=1182
Brandon, do you remember that question we had that came up in play? Like we both had triggered abilities?
--Brandon 14:21, 6 April 2009 (MST) Here is the scenario in question:
I attack with a Spitebellows, Gabe blocks with a Changeling Berserker. Damage resolves, and both go to the graveyard. Since both leave play, there are two relevant triggers: the "leaves play" trigger where the Spitebellows deals 6 damage and the "leaves play" trigger where the championed card "underneath" the Berserker comes back into play. The operative question is whether or not I can target the championed creature with the Spitebellows' triggered ability. The answer depends, I take it, on the order that the triggered abilities resolve. So, the fundamental question is who gets to pick the order in which the triggered abilities go onto the stack. Thoughts?
--Gdaze-- Right thats it... I was going to add that I thought it was who ever had the priority gets to choose what triggers... but unsure on that, also who even has that?
User:Matts:Matts -- It would go to whoever has priority, which unless there's something wacky, would be the person whose turn it is. My guess would be that gabe could have his leaves play go off after your spitebellows if he so chose.
--Brandon 10:45, 8 April 2009 (MST) That's sort of what I thought, though since it was my turn (I was the one attacking), wouldn't I be the one with priority, so I could choose to have Gabe's leave play trigger before my Spitebellows? (btw, in this instance 'spitebellows' is not a euphemism for my cock.)
--Brandon 11:25, 8 April 2009 (MST) I'm thinking that maybe I should take down the Teferi/Eye of the Storm combo before Ed sees it. Thoughts?
BEN: we only have one teferi, I will just make sure it disappears. I have two royal assassins, so it shouldn't be too hard. Also, I thought the euphemism for your cock was "kithkin daggerdare"?
BRANDON: I think that you're getting it confused with the other one, "giant hugemotherfuckingcockdare," which I'll use to tap Teferi (handsome fellow that he is) so that your assassins can make short work of him.
BEN "Giant hugemotherfuckingcockdare": BBBBBBB: 10/10 1: Tap target card with an illustration of a hot chick/dude on it. 3: Tap target card with an illustratoin of an ugly chick/dude on it. 5: tap target card with with an illustration of a humanoid on it. 7: Tap target card with an animal or monster on it. 9: Tap target card that features only landscapes. 'this is for fighting, this is for fun'
Edmiao too late! but i think Teferi is lost in another deck.
--Brandon 14:09, 8 April 2009 (MST) Bravo, Ben. The casting cost is a very nice touch. And, Ed, ummmm, yeah. Teferi is totally lost in another deck, like forever.
Edmiao I know!! damn!!! maybe ben will help me find him?
--Gdaze-- How the heck did I get this Teferi in my deck...
--Brandon 14:50, 8 April 2009 (MST) Well, I thought that Teferi had a CLEAR place in your RG Warriors deck. You should totally keep it in there, like forever.
Edmiao I will see you all in HECK
--Gdaze-- Yes... it does... I can see the combo clearly now!
BEN: a new card, courtesy of Brandon:
Bob, Emperor of the Bobian Empire: W : Summon Human Bob Soldier : 1/1 : Banding, Phasing, Convoke. I have a sword
BEN: one other thing...I've probably spent an hour looking for my favorite planeswalker (TM) Chandra Nalaar, as well as Garruk Wildspeaker...anybody have a !@#%$& idea where they are?
BEN: and one MORE thing: Gabe, I really want to trade you for your bitterblossom. Any chance of that?
--Gdaze-- That would be pretty no, as I it is a key element in my sac deck. And I wuv my sac deck even if it doesn't win a lot, its fun to play.
Next step in Super Heroes
--67.170.22.232 01:23, 21 March 2009 (MST)Everyone gets 12xp!
Things that are going on:
the juice and his son are at large, not seen since they helped with the battle vs Emir
Emir abu kaliq is in prison, captured for putting a virus into wall street, taking stock brokers hostage, demanding ransom and killing one of them.
Oppenheimer, the radioactive power source corpse, is in an oceanic trench sealed in a concrete box. the feds want him back and they know we took him. we have been avoiding the feds.
The government was maybe using oppenheimer to make some weapon, they seem to need "quicksilver" ie silver serpent, to make this weapon.
The Artifecier (sp?) thinks the old ones are waking up. who is the artificer? who are the old ones?
The Explorators (SP???) work for the above named client and have brought back 3 ancient warriors, who are now at large.
Super Roids Factory Super roids factory was taken down, head scientist killed, links were found to Emir abu kaliq. got warrant for his office and found more incriminating evidence. this issue resolved..?

--Gdaze 11:30, 30 March 2009 (MST) You know, I wish Robert had been given the kind of power given to my hero's character... I dunno what to do, redo character, or create life on the moon...

Plans to save Danny-Girl from the dragon
These are the ones i remember.....
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?
BEN: that's...hmmm, I didn't think of that. That's a really good idea, actually. Oh, I'd also like to add: along with good insight in the last session, the bonus XP was due to Aefra's exceptionally commendable moral decision, to stay loyal to Grendel despite no perceived benefit. I tried ot make it as easy as possible to cast off from that, and I was very pleasantly surprised when Aefra did the heroic thing and said "FU, crotchety old bigot! BFFs 4 life!" So, a tip o' the XP hat to Aefra this past session.
Edmiao ha, groovey. seemed like the only choice she could make, actually, she's very loyal.
Yeah, gabe, they would have gotten their asses kicked by Lyra, but again, had to play the character. Calling in the guards seemed like the next best option to fight her without getting our asses kicked. it is much more interesting with her still at large, though. It occurs to me that the original plan was to have the flame put out to retrieve Danny-girl before administering the cure anyway, so folks must not have been too concerned about putting the flame out.....?
I like the Salazar's pet idea. foom!
GABE: Calling guards is a good idea, it makes it so we look good. And yeah, lets use the pet, bonus points Aten!
--Dieter the Bold 12:42, 19 March 2009 (MST) Nice idea, Aeten. And I vote we cut ties w/ Lyra. Not because Galen's super-pissed about the forge, but because I'm not sure we want to get involved with a very mercenary slayer who goes after the souls (XP) of powerful beings/things. I just don't think she's good peoples.
Edmiao If we cut ties with her, then we owe her some LOOTZ. what was the deal we made?
GABE: Um, she is no worse then me, and she sticks to her word, to the T. If we don't do it, we can't get the tears. Tears are very needed, with them I could perhaps make something to dose the dragon's breath. (Meta-game, we are still most likely going to loose some characters, but what a fight, with a dragon! Speaking entirly outta game, I wanna fight a dragon.)
Edmiao Metagame: haven't we wanted to fight a dragon from the get go? So, i think those characters with pride should suck it up and we should stay with the deal with Lyra, we need as much help as possible. She'll help us fight the dragon, and if she dies, cest la vie.
