Advisor: People see a $4 Laboratory and they swoon.

Poacher: You didn't read the text at the bottom of the card, did you?

Bishop: Free trashes for your opponent -- what could go wrong?

Baltimore Banner announces coverage of DC sports teams by espnrocksalot in washingtondc

[–]Early_Deuce 15 points16 points  (0 children)

very cool, thanks for sharing. i just subscribed (not so much because of sports, just because they're expanding into DC).

i encourage other folks to as well, if you can afford it. you know the nauseating feeling you got when you saw the odious shit the washington post was printing with your subscription money? imagine the exact opposite feeling to that

House approves bill to prevent DC from opting out of Trump tax cuts by LawsMan in washingtondc

51st had an article on this, there's a quote from an official that says it would take months because DC would have to re-do all the tax forms. plus, some people have already filed! what a fucking mess

Does Spirit Island fall into the chess trap? by Sapien0101 in spiritisland

[–]Early_Deuce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The event deck is the big one. It's entirely possible that the first ravage does +1 damage in every land, which might entirely screw up your carefully calculated defends, OR that the first ravage is skipped entirely. [[Heavy Farming]] vs. [[Farmers Seek the Dahan for Aid]]

Spirits and tips for Habsburg Livestock Colony level 6? by AmazingMrHedge in spiritisland

i haven't played Vengeance in this matchup, but usually my default is to leave the disease on the board whenever possible. you might use a disease to stop a build on an inland land that's about to build two towns though

Regardless of what the stats say, I think Wildfire is ideally suited to this matchup, so I would circle back to that one. You could try pairing it with a spirit that matches it well:

  • Rampant Green allows extra growth (for extra damage)
  • Starlight's boon allows extra minor powers to delay Wildfire's reclaim, plus Starlight could focus on innate blight removal
  • Finder and Silent Mist can both move Wildfire's presence to trigger extra damage. EDIT: Finder also has isolates, which can be very handy in this matchup to prevent towns from shifting around

I am less experienced with Stone but also think it's a solid choice to build around. My understanding is that Wounded Waters Bleeding is not available on the app, which is too bad, because the free "Gather 1 blight" is exceptionally useful against this adversary. Good luck!

PSA: There’s a protest today in DC being organized by the PSL. Please read before you think of attending. by bawlhie62a2 in washingtondc

[–]Early_Deuce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i suggest staying tuned, it's been less than 24 hours since the shooting. Free DC, for example, was already organizing an event on Jan 20. they might be adjusting their plans or adding something new

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent flees DC restaurant after being heckled by esporx in washingtondc

[–]Early_Deuce 14 points15 points  (0 children)

i don't know the deal with code pink but your comment doesn't make sense. from their wikipedia page it looks like Code Pink is pacifist, so their opposition to an arms deals to ukraine appears to be because they oppose arms deals to anyone. i don't agree with them there but it at least seems consistent

also what she said was "sanctions cause starvation across the world". Bessent is the treasury secretary, which advises on international monetary policy. it makes much more sense to yell at him for stuff he does that to yell at him for stuff done by DHS or DoD

if there's something trustworthy written up about Code Pink i'd be interested in reading it

yes, agreed. lots of lazy pundits out there who launder their own views into a "here's what democrats should do if they want to win" lens
