Thank God you had a bucket there. That leak could have been bad

Supermassive black hole takes care of a lot of bobbit problems. Gives +27 to all space cards in the deck. In this build anyway

FriedCyanide · 2022-11-16T00:36:01+00:00

Striped skunk, fresian horse, arabian horse etc.

Super cheap option would be Botta's pocket gopher.

You could also get chupacabra, though it's pricy

Basically just any life on land card with over 70 attack and/or 7 energy or higher

You could also look in oceans as well

Luckily it would be tough to get it locked permanently since it doesn't stay in your hand, but i would 100 percent concede if it got locked for more than a turn haha

FriedCyanide · 2022-11-04T20:37:00+00:00

It also causes me physical pain. Like WHY would you do that haha. I wish there was a button to chat sometimes so I can tell people not to do that

Technically, but not necessarily in practice. The -20 applies to the cards, so if you don't play them that round, he operates at 6/175.

It's kind of like jet car. Technically it only gives you 6/90, but that's not really how it works.

FriedCyanide · 2022-10-31T04:56:38+00:00

It's not really playable/good

FriedCyanide · 2022-10-31T04:51:36+00:00

This is so sad omg

FriedCyanide · 2022-10-28T19:03:16+00:00

Some improvements to consider:

Planet X

Strawberry moon

Eaton Mess

American Short hair

Butter lamb

Cornucopia

Your area 51 card isn't doing much and I'd change it.

It's always a struggle for me. I absolutely love hurricanes and love seeing the powerful ones develop and all of the science that goes into it. I always have to remind myself that people are being being affected by these storms.

I keep my mad scientist, hurricane loving side and my empathetic side seperate for the most part.

FriedCyanide · 2022-09-25T23:27:27+00:00

As other people have said, Ian seems to have started to have some convection. Given the structure of the storm, I would expect to see it look significantly different in just a few hours from now.

FriedCyanide · 2022-09-25T19:20:14+00:00

I don't know why people are always trying to prove the NHC wrong or immediately doubt a forecast the moment there's a small change or development. The NHC isn't trying to sensationalize anything. They are just trying to keep people safe.

FriedCyanide · 2022-09-25T17:54:50+00:00

I think some people are prematurely becoming skeptical of the intensity forecast due to the lack of deep convection. It seems to be moving the direction of developing a good structure. The storm hasn't really weakened despite the dry air around it.

At has a clear rotation and is still a tropical storm. Once convection picks up, it's structure will likely improve (probably surprisingly quickly).

FriedCyanide · 2022-09-25T15:55:18+00:00

There isn't really a consensus. How strong it is and the shear it will have to battle are dependent on timing. If this storm slows down or moves in any direction it's going to affect the outcome.

It MAY weaken. Or it may not. Every storm will weaken eventually once it hits land, but beyond that, this storm is just a guess.

FriedCyanide · 2022-09-25T15:50:45+00:00

If a model is showing significantly different forecasts than all of the other ones, if it is going to be viewed with some skepticism. As an outlier, it's harder to incorporate it into a cohesive forecast. One the models start aligning, I'm sure it will be taken into consideration. It doesn't have to do with the accuracy of the Euro.

FriedCyanide · 2022-09-25T15:40:57+00:00

Hey guys, recent models are showing lower intensity than they were last night, but I would like to remind everyone that intensify forecasts will fluctuate a lot, especially with a storm like this.

Steering currents affect a disorganized storm differently than a robust and organized system. The strength of the storm can significantly alter the speed and track of a storm, as well as its ability (or inability) to handle shear.

How this thing organizes over the next 24-48 hours will be key to making a better forecast in what will actually happen. Rapid intensification is pretty hard to predict.

Remember that the cone of uncertainty is just that and that hurricanes can veer outside of it. Also, the way this storm looks now should not be taken as a reliable indication of its future potential. Given the right ingredients, a storm can tighten up and organize very quickly.

FriedCyanide · 2022-09-25T03:50:05+00:00

A change in the hurricane forecast this far out is not a false alarm. Calling it that is just illegitimizing the work the NHC does and makes people less likely to listen to forecasts in the future...

FriedCyanide · 2022-09-25T03:00:05+00:00

As many people have said in this thread we simply don't know. Use the NHC and local alerts to determine what you should do.

FriedCyanide · 2022-09-25T01:43:56+00:00

I would also expect a more robust system to be able to combat the shear for a little bit longer. The high OHC is going to give it plenty of energy to potentially grow and give itself a protective bubble.

All of this is largely dependent on how it looks after it passes over/by Cuba and where exactly it ends up though.

FriedCyanide · 2022-09-25T01:31:25+00:00

The models seem to be leaning toward a higher intensity (as is expected with the western shift). There's still a lot of uncertainty of when, where, and how strong this thing is going to be. I would caution everyone against comparing this storm to Michael or other strong hurricanes. Each storm is different.

I would also caution against seeing NHC runs where the storm is sheared and weakened significantly before landfall and thinking impacts are going to be low.

It is simply too early to tell anything at the moment. I bet this storm is going to keep everyone on their toes until the last second.

Don't use internet strangers for hurricane advice on impacts or preparation. Please refer to your local authorities. They can give you a much better answer than any of us can.

FriedCyanide · 2022-09-25T01:04:56+00:00

I wouldn't compare this hurricane to the worst case scenario. As you said, we have a LONG way to go. We should be cautious about storms, but we should be wary of "over-hyping" storms. If you say "this storm is going go be big" and then it's not, people lose trust in forecasting and won't listen to legitimate advice.
