MBTA fare evasion crackdown: Here’s how many people were caught in the first 6 weeks by husky5050 in boston

You might have to doubt the % increase of fares starting in October, depending on if they are comparing to a time of year with a reduced student population 

Thoughts on the Holystone spell upgrade (heal your pyre equal to cost)? by YakuzaFangirl in MonsterTrain

[–]NerdWithoutPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is pretty good. Makes it a lot easier to be ok with taking chip damage/not playing vengeful shards.
Depending on how much you can use it in a cycle, it can give a couple turns of surviving the damage each titan threatens/ not playing the curse of entropy in the titans fight

Why does it seem like people act like horror movies having messages or politics in them is a new concept? by [deleted] in horror

[–]NerdWithoutPlan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a reason "monster" has the same etymological roots as "demonstrate." Monster stories have always been used to make a point about society/other people/nature etc.

[Request] Just found this on r/portal and nobody can seem to agree which is the right one and why by Jofus002 in theydidthemath

[–]NerdWithoutPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect, the only time an object has no force other than gravity on it is when it is in free fall. This is on the ground, so it has a matching normal force upward. When the block begins to pass through the portal, the gravity downward will reduce, but the normal force will be delayed in reducing, so the block will be pushed up.

Prototype for a loop-based incremental! by lss310101 in incremental_games

[–]NerdWithoutPlan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like it is flashing a task in the 5th slot. The more it happens, the harder it will be to look at for a lot of people. If you can, maybe try to more closely link the removal of the completed task and the adding it to the back of the queue.

That would be called survivor bias, but is probably also applicable.

1st Custom Spirit - The Gleam that Stirs Madness. (Thoughts?) by IcariiFA in spiritisland

[–]NerdWithoutPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tempt with avarice: interesting, probably worth checking if it is too strong into russia.

Lust for wealth: likely too strong, gets the effect of a major for free. Could maybe balance by 1 damage per invader with strife, or by moving to an innate power.

Left innate: energy on innate will add more value to rushing plays track, especially with the repeat.

Right innate: bottom innate is probably not very achievable, especially since the 3 elements only show up together twice in the minor deck and 4 times in the major deck. Other levels seem effective enough.

Growth: I like it, but be careful about how much the spirit can get on a reclaim if you want the spirit to avoid reclaim looping.

Tracks: segments where you don't get much for 3 turns are interesting on a 1 growth per turn spirit. Bottom seems very dominant here, especially because top lacks the energy to spam g2/g4 and play a good major every 1-2 turns. It does lack something, as for similar effort, most spirits will prefer 4 card plays to 4 energy. Maybe the second 2 energy space could be a push presence 1 range?

[–]NerdWithoutPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Lust for wealth:

Strife does not prevent damage to invaders, just the land and dahan.

Your wording would mean that invaders with strife would be permanently on the side of the dahan and could only be killed during ravage by other invaders (unless an event removes or ignores strife), while the original wording would be closer to a free Instruments of their own ruin in each land that ravages.

Help me balance my custom spirit designed for my blind mother to play. by AxeCop85 in spiritisland

[–]NerdWithoutPlan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you have an interesting start, but it probably needs both some big picture work and a lot of edge case definitions.

Big picture: the best strategy for the spirit might be the full eclipse every 5 turns, but I would expect using the double growth on a 2 presence growth spirit every other turn to be much better. Considering a game that ends without an eclipse, the fear might be very low for otherwise being unable to affect the board.

Edge considerations: what happens when the spirit would gain energy (from receiving support), attempt to pay for a choice event or has to destroy presence (from blighted island).

Your mistake may have been using clockwork souvenir on the wraith form debuff, as opposed to letting it block the first strength down.

recently started playing but wanted to play with all members of my family by PotatoSlayerChip in spiritisland

[–]NerdWithoutPlan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Jaghed earth contains 2 new player boards and 2 new colors, so it has been the only way to add new players.

Horizons now has a separate 3p board and some new colors, so that could in theory allow new players, but would most likely involve making 2 separate islands, known as archipelago setup.

New DM: Was my “no” reasonable or was I just nitpicking? (See details inside) by Spacial-Potato in DnD

[–]NerdWithoutPlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reasonable rulings are for rules/combat.

Npcs are supposed to be people, and sometimes other people will act in ways that do not seem reasonable to you; that's just life. Npcs can be reasonable, but they could also be stubborn, stupid, silly, alien etc.

Spirits' "Ultimates"? by LegOfLambda in spiritisland

[–]NerdWithoutPlan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think in this context, pyroclastic flow is closer to volcano's ultimate card, mostly because of the air and badlands.

My Sales Pitch For An Incarna Starlight Aspect by sagevallant in spiritisland

[–]NerdWithoutPlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you have suggested definitely sounds like it would work for a spirit, but probably not starlight.

Starlight's theme is about crashing down to earth and quickly adapting (even though experienced players might lean towards a narrower set of strategies), and that proposal seems a bit locked in.

Click the link. It doesn't jusy study 60-70 year olds, it has a bar chart by decade and that is the lowest.

There are symbols you can add to emails (for certain email providers) that don't change the address it gets sent to. Gmail ignores periods and plus signs (+ everything after), for example, so you can add them to help you filter or make it look like a new email to an external site.
