I actually just found out someone else is doing Otaku, so I though I would let them take over...but their translation is just riddled with errors, so I guess I'll keep doing it! Here's a short bonus chapter of it!

I'll probably put it up on batoto or something soon.

For Drinking Girls I only have one chapter left in volume one (which is all I have), but I'll try to get my hands on two or three more chapters after that since it looks like volume 2 won't be here for awhile.

Yeah, whoever is translating it for Batoto right now sucks, do not give up on Otaku.

As a note, re: Macross Frontier, you are incorrect about Ranka and Sheryl. Sheryl is ultimately the love interest, rather than Ranka, though this is made more explicit in the movies than the show. Ranka's just the cute, bubbly and childish one. Sheryl is more adult and aware of her own sex appeal.

Man, I would kill to win that way. I love deck stealing, been trying for it since Theros.

Incidentally, for those that don't follow Magic, go look up art from the next set to be released, Kaladesh. It is loving beautiful.

I forget if current mtg terminology is activate or use, but I think it is activate.

During your turn, spells your opponents control cannot be cast and activated abilities your opponents control cannot be activated.

They work really hard to clean this stuff up, at least. But...yeah, there's an entire division dedicated to rules text management and figuring out how the rules work in edge cases.

That one is actually fairly simple, but wouldn't be worded that way any more.

These days it'd be:

Sliver creatures you control gain hexproof.

Hexproof, of course, is 'cannot be targeted by spells or abilities your opponents control.' It's the modern take on an older ability, Shroud, which was 'cannot be targeted by spells or abilities' and stopped even your own stuff from working on the thing that had Shroud. They changed it to Hexproof because Shroud confused people and they acted like it was Hexproof anyway.

Yeah, they've changed it so global creature-type buffs are now exclusively only on those you control. This includes Slivers. Slivers haven't been published in a few years, but they're still crazy in combination because that's the Sliver gimmick. However, there are ways to deal with it. General board wipe is my suggestion.

Yeah, hexproof, shroud and that sliver all only stop targeted abilities, which are any abilities that specific target <X> - creature, permanent, whatever. That's why untargeted board wipe or untargeted global debuffs are great.

That's correct, you can take tests to get varying levels of Judge rank, and higher rank requires greater mastery of the rules, knowledge of how to spot cheating, and so on - as well as some enforcement of the social rules of MtG, these days. Judges are supposed to intervene in events of cheating and abusive language, too. Judges are there to handle all rules disputes and enforce tournament social rules, etc. Lower levels are volunteers, the top ranks are Wizards of the Coast employees.

Typically, your average game will not need a judge's call, but even expert players can be unsure in some rules interactions, and of course at high-level tournaments, players will be aggressively trying to interpret the rules in their own favor and push it as hard as they can, because money is on the line.

E: Slivers own, yeah. I love the stuff Magic gets people to play. The current set looks like it's going to be full of doing goofy shenanigans off of enters-the-battlefield triggers and using the new resource they introduced for the set, Energy. Also, it is pretty as gently caress.

Permission, maybe, but burn control can be really fun. I mean, your opponent at least gets to play their creatures for a short while. And deck theft control is loving awful, generally speaking. But hilarious when it works.

The quality of Japanese whiskey is literally down to a single man who fell in love with Scotland and decided to try to make Scottish whiskey in Japan after going to Scotland, getting married and training under Scottish brewers.

I have been periodically looking into the bizarre and horrible terrarium that is the Batoto comments for zoglin's series...es? Otaku comments right now are arguing the temporal definition of slut and who should be called a slut.

And have been for over a month.
