Why are you RPing as a fantasy world Alex Jones?

I mean sure it'd be hilarious, but there's gotta be a greater context.

It's escapism from how great a person I am irl. Just a way to unwind after a hard day of respecting women, amplifying poc voices, and owning caremad berniebros with cory booker image macros.

Speaking of card games, do people still play the Pokemon card game? Or did that die-off fifteen years ago?

As an educator for the better part of the last decade I have seen a great many trends come and go. Mainly kids these days either sit and play with a god drat screen in their hands or they sit and play with their goddamn hands making video game noises.

I went through the masochistic exercise of listening to the Tony Blair interview on the Politico podcast. He says that Bernie and Corbyn's policies "aren't really progressive" and instead suggests education and... Tax reform!!

anyone here into MtG? i was looking forward to their new online game but it seems to be yet another stripped down version of magic

i want to play magic but not IRL with the people who haunt game stores

I have a friend who asks if I play every six months or so and once every couple years I actually do play since he goes so far as to buy whole boxes of the latest set and then hosts drafts and stuff.

decks cost as much as you allow them to, if you play tier 1 tournament decks then yeah they get that expensive

The regular sixty card deck thing is probably the most common tho I can't speak to practices outside of what my friends do. One of my friends likes Commander which seemed like a dumb gimmick.

You probably need to drop a lot of money to make a competitive deck to like go to game shops and kick rear end, casual among friends sort of play should be really cheap tho. Also I got dragged along to one of those game shop release night events a few years back and yeah, cannot really recommend tho I was shocked at how many people still do them.

Also they got rid of mana burn and added like 5000 keywords.

You can also play MtG for free using Tabletop Simulator, if you want to stop being friends with people online rather than irl.

quote:

Bernie Sander's wife succeasfully bankrupt a liberal arts college in Birmingham through careless spending. She said they can pay their high debts through donations and increased enrollment. Did not happen. That's alteady a clue of their financial management "capability". Not grounded on financial reality. Not to mention Birmingham College is a liberal arts school - not the most practical courses where you could have stable jobs.

Tariff proposal, against immigration reform (he was very much against Obama's immigration reform) demonization of foreign workers (echoes the GOP sentiment that foreign workers(those in HB-1 - most if them are in fields where there is labor shortage) steal US jobs, depress US wages, etc - despite the enormous contribution of foreign workers in agriculture, STEM and healthcare), rejection of NAFTA.

As a greencard holder, I am actually more of a threat to US workers than those who are in HB-1 visa. I came here semi skilled, got in state tuition rate which could have gone to a US born person, got a good paying job that could have gone to a US born person..but HB-1 visa holders get the flak and blame for the "crimes" I have committed against US workers and students - I stole their spot in school and their job. Yes, Bernie and his fans blame foreigners and foreign workers for stealing American jobs" - like Trump and his followers do.

Other than his "free tuition" and "free medicare" campaign, he awefully resembles the GOP in platform. Based on American exceptionalism.

Bernie is a wacko. Quite a Trump lite.

By the way, Bernie pushed for the F-22 project. The most expensive US plane that isn't good in anything...simply because it would have generated 400 jobs in Vermont. So much for his "anti-military-industrial complex" stance.

In general storytelling usage an alignment system is just something to calibrate world narrative.

the purpose of alignment is to restrict players actions in the game system and tell a story, it has absolutely zero to do with the real world.

as a corollary you should absolutely not attempt to bring that system into the real world.

Transcoding a system down to a lower quality and the transcoding it back to the original format isn't really a good idea, I agree.

So wait, wanting Tony Blair to spend the rest of his life in a US/UK "Black site" is funny, good. But if that "black site" is ISIL controled, it's just beyond the pale? :wtc:
