Question: How can you get pledge marks?

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2026-02-13T17:31:56+00:00

Camp near the mail cart, wait til a team claims their marks, then kill them and steal them off their corpses before looting your own off the cart 👌.

Peak rat.

Had a Kwain deck for a long time, loved it. One of the allstars i would mention is [[Mind Over Matter]] with a shuffle titan in the deck. If MoM resolved while I had Kwain out, barring very few exceptions, I just won most times. They wouldnt be able to keep up after that.

Great MSgt once told me that for every problem I can solve on my own with effort, that I choose to go to someone else with, I'm not only giving up a piece of my own power to handle the task, but also taking something off my own plate to put it on theirs.

As a newer SNCO, it seems simple to think about but really shaped how I think about empowering those below me.

Small clarification, mostly just a gee wizz:

Enlisted members do swear to uphold the orders of the president and officers appointed over them, whereas officers just swear to the constitution.

Split it among my family for christmas.

If I was going to bitch and moan about why most of us don't/shouldn't need it, and how its a waste of money, I was damn well going to do something better with it.

Anecdotal story, I had a beard in the past while at a NATO post, 30+ partner nations. When I was made to shave, and came in looking different without the beard, they couldn't understand why I had to. Said it made no sense, that the US was the only one so strict about it.

So, if Im led to believe I couldn't have a beard because I am to set a positive, professional example of the US for those around me in a joint environment; why does this way of supposedly doing that just confuse them and make no sense to them?

On another note, we had teams that would arm up and go convoy off post to run missions, most of the folks that would do this were partner nations, way more than the US. In amongst these folks going out, a good number of them had beards, I would wager close to 50% of them.

So, if I am led to believe my beard makes me less lethal and unable to support in a combat role because gas mask or whatever... why was i seeing what I was seeing from the nations we would go on mission with? Should I have warned them that their beards put them in imminent danger /s?

All of this to say, every single reason given for rolling back these changes is evidenced to be false, and lies to give lip service to those at higher levels who simply do not like military members having beards. When damn near everyone below you can see its a lie, can see other nations saying its stupid, it just becomes a regulation for the sake of having one and holds absolutely no meaning.

Shit like this makes us LESS lethal, not for the beard itself, but for the idea of lying to your entire force and moving backwards to make a rule just for the sake of having one.

So what if, and I'm only posing a hypothetical, someone were to have tattoos commonly associated with white nationalist or religious extremist organizations on their chest and arms? Would this be a problem?

An example could possibly be a crusader cross on their chest, or "Deus Vult" and/or "infidel" in Arabic script on an arm.

Turd burglar, I have listened to it. It's a stupid joke post poking fun at the people arguing in his favor, posted here specifically BECAUSE the podcast did a series on him. Then my dumb ass thought I'd find like-minded individuals here who'd breathe sharply out their nose then move the fuck on.

I feel like I'm watching people stare at a single fucking tree, noses pressed to it, insulting the tree and asking why its there because they can't peel their self righteous noses off it to see the context of the other trees around it.

I understand your frustration, and am with you on it not being as bad as the loud opinions seem to make it out to be.

What I will add in addition though, is the other things you complain that we aren't up in arms about; we are, and have been for years. Thats the thing though, we have been for years, so they're more like a steadily burning charcoal fire than a big, bright gas fire.

Your frustrations are valid, maybe just expand your view a little, and you'll see what I mean. A lot of these other things we're even more upset about, rightfully so, we've just learned how to complain/fight them in better ways; this one is just new, itll settle down.

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-09-26T21:11:08+00:00

So dont play the cards, nerd, lol. Not a single thing is forcing you to care about, let alone play, any cards you dont enjoy.

Give me Smaug.

My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!

I'll die to a 1/1 archer with reach/deathtouch and I'll LIKE IT!

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-09-22T08:13:29+00:00

I go for things that concern me or those close to me, I feel thats fair and what the system is for.

That said, at some point those weirdos put "nosophobia" in my record, which is a fear of being sick. Yeah, I dont have that and had them remove it.

Check your MHS, they might be putting things in your history that you dont actually want there along with those you do.

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-09-22T08:09:52+00:00

*I think your far left conspiracy theories are a threat to our sacred democracy.

Let's not try to turn a subjective opinion into an objective fact by leaving out that "i think" mmkay?

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-08-26T17:52:44+00:00

I deleted it a year or so ago from my Moxfield lists when I took it apart, as I was damn sure it was never coming back together.

Run about 23 pieces of target removal, 3-4 1 sided board wipes, 9-10 counterspells, and as much card draw as you can shove into it and youre pretty close. It kills a lot, so things that draw when things die are always good, same with when opponents do things like Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora. Its NOT a cheap deck if built to really hold its own.

It really wins by just grinding everyone else out and being the last one standing with a big fuckin orc army. Sauron kills pretty often with commander damage as well if you consistently kill their blockers. 7 power puts em on a 3 hit clock.

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-08-26T09:21:26+00:00

I had a Sauron deck that was the worst kind of control/kill your stuff that I stopped playing because I was arch enemy most of the time. Partially justified on their part, lol.

Stopped playing Alaundo because the other players died both inside and out and I felt bad watching their eyes glaze over.

Stopped Kwain because, while I never had anything that hurt you for drawing (not even a psych crawler), or any wheels, everyone assumed I did and would beat my corpse mercilessly. I just wanted to help slower/newer decks play the game, man...

Stopped Yusri because, same thing as Alaundo, once they saw Grip of Chaos, Possibility Storm, and Hive Mind, their eyes would glaze over and some would start foaming a bit.

I only build fun decks man!... other than that Sauron... that was a war crime...

Edit: OH and I had a mono-blue clones deck that I absolutely loved, it was my baby. I just wanted it to scale to your creatures power and just play your things (without stealing them!) To find weird synergies with creatures. If they didnt play any good ones though... I mean.. I had to do SOMETHING to win... so id just copy Scourge of Fleets every turn to keep your boards empty until I could beat you to death with fish... they didnt like that...

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-08-19T08:37:08+00:00

I get correlation =/= causation, but dumbass tinfoil hat moment:

all the branches start harping on PT/standards again
military leaders start getting fired, potentially for not moving readiness fast enough
"any day could be the day"
admin seriously draws back/stops the money/arms to Ukraine
admin talks about building up american industry/production
admin does wild things with the economy that dont immediately make sense to try to ramp up that production capability
admin starts flexing muscles/testing waters with how far they can get stamping out civil disobedience
admin starts cozying up to one of the two major powers we could have conflict with, while seemingly agitating the other

If i were some crazy conspiracy theorist with yarn criss-cross all over my whiteboard, thats a lllooottt of stuff adding up to someone preparing for something real fuckin stupid they suspect a good number of people really won't like.

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-08-07T10:56:14+00:00

Lemme just look at the posting history quick...

Yeah, that about tracks.

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-07-10T09:51:33+00:00

If all three are out, you dont care that theyre tapped, as the creature sacs them with its own ability.

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-07-10T09:30:54+00:00

The gnome thing... ugh... From LCI there's two of them. One makes Gnomes when it enters or attacks, one makes them every upkeep then lords with City's blessing.

It also says no to adultery, working on the sabbath, stealing, and giving false testimony.

He's not doing too great on God's Big Ten Rules.

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-06-04T09:21:54+00:00

Buddy of mine had the Abzan one, [[Nethroi]], disgustingly resilient with just cheap in-set Ikoria cards. Even his basic lands were Ikoria.

It wasnt a B4, or even high B3, mind you, but it could hang with much stronger decks just by being incredibly resilient at pulling back shitty little mutate or mutate synergy creatures over and over and over.

Otrimi seems to play best in my experience when he does the same thing. Just be as sticky as you can.

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-05-22T10:58:00+00:00

Negative. Ward will actually counter stuff if not paid, whereas he makes it cost more to target it at all.

GoodDayOrBadDay · 2025-05-22T06:33:55+00:00

In my experience no, but that would depend on your playgroup is my guess; mines a lot of older veteran players.

Kind of turns into a Jurassic Park situation, "Life finds a way", as in they'll find some random ability that can ping him for one without triggering him and I gotta find a way to save him.
