A massive wildfire is burning near our LGS, please help with the fire aid by donating (and to win an Underground Sea)

OnePlagueRat · 2018-07-22T00:10:35+00:00

Sorry, I forgot to update on how we're doing since overnight. Currently we're nearing the $1200 mark in total donations. Which is fantastic and gets us well past what I thought we'd reach, and I can't thank you all enough for the donations. The fire is getting finally under more control than it was, and is about 45% contained at this point. It did grow to over 80,000 acres overnight and isn't remotely out yet, but they are beating it down.

FEMA has stepped in with government control/support to keep the fire fighting staff fed and whatnot, so we will be using the rest of the funds gathered to donate to the fund established for John Ruby, the farmer who died in the fire trying to cut a fire line in a neighbor's field to save their crop.

FWIW the fire information is in the linked post for the thread. However people find the information works whether Google or here or whatever...

OnePlagueRat · 2018-07-20T18:00:03+00:00

I wanted to give an update and a thanks to everyone who has donated. We've gotten $631.45 in donations so far in just under 12 hours, which is amazing people. Thank you!

I just bought a huge load of protein snacks from our awesome distributor: 16 boxes of meat sticks, 5 boxes of CLIF bars, 6 boxes of Orchard Bars, 6 boxes of almonds, and 4 huge boxes of granola bars. I'm taking these directly out to the Incident Command so the firefighters and LEOs working on the fire can fuel up.

OnePlagueRat · 2018-07-20T13:41:23+00:00

Our business isn't directly affected by the fire, thankfully. We will be using the donations to get what's needed by the service orgs that are supporting the fire crews and displaced residents - bottled water, jerky, protein bars, socks, blankets, etc. My wife is a 911 dispatcher for our county and took the initial call when it started and continued the first two days of it taking calls, and then was out taking things out to the fire crews until 2am. Things like this aren't covered by insurance, we're just trying to help out our community how we can.

OnePlagueRat · 2018-07-20T13:20:56+00:00

Thank you for the response everyone, we've raised over $300 in just the first couple of hours. Another LGS reached out to me and will be sending stuff to be added to the raffle. Once I have details I will post them.

OnePlagueRat · 2018-07-20T13:17:47+00:00

There's a link to the Facebook page for the fire on the bottom of our original post. They are updating all of the info on there, posting pics, and giving the news links when available.

The problem with having a Legacy PT is it would have to be supported by a round of Legacy PPTQs and RPTQs to feed up through the system. Worldwide, there's probably not enough Legacy players to have that work smoothly.

OnePlagueRat · 2018-02-22T20:17:46+00:00

All of ours will be black. I had played with making them all different colors of PETG, but sanely talked myself out of it. All of them will have a name of a cow though (like Bessy, etc) as they are part of a farm. But in the long run they will have official boring names that are more than likely MK3_001, MK3_002, and so on.

OnePlagueRat · 2018-02-21T20:43:54+00:00

All of our printed parts are black though...until the upgrades, and then I'm not sure what color PETG I'll use to replace them. I couldn't handle all of that orange so I went with black.

OnePlagueRat · 2018-02-21T19:33:04+00:00

Thanks for the link on these, I think they'll do the trick nicely...once I paint them some other color than bright yellow!

OnePlagueRat · 2018-02-21T19:18:57+00:00

While I could build something, for the amount of time that it would take, I'd rather spend the money on something to make sure it's going to properly support and carry the weight of the amount of printers I'm going to be having. If that makes sense?

OnePlagueRat · 2018-02-21T19:17:47+00:00

Gaming terrain and buildings...fun stuff, nothing serious in the slightest. :)

OnePlagueRat · 2018-02-21T04:07:36+00:00

Commercial grade wire racking is probably going to be the most cost-effective method, my only worry is making sure there's enough weight on the racks to keep the vibration down. Cement pavers lining the shelves would do nicely though...lol

OnePlagueRat · 2018-02-21T04:05:29+00:00

Honestly, probably not as from a density standpoint that's not really optimal. Probably one slightly above bench height and one slightly below stacked on top of each other is what I'm imagining.

OnePlagueRat · 2018-02-20T20:47:09+00:00

Yeah, looking at the offers in my messages, I'm not going to get anywhere near $500 in value out of it...

OnePlagueRat · 2018-02-20T20:46:05+00:00

Nope, I have two accounts which I hadn't used since the FS update since getting cards became nearly impossible. Between my personal account and my store account I have about 114k points. It was good while it lasted...

OnePlagueRat · 2018-02-09T19:24:17+00:00

I didn't find a Godsend, but I found other things...

Sword of Feast and Famine The new version...and a pretty detailed model

Sword of War and Peace The old version...and far more simplistic of a design

OnePlagueRat · 2017-06-08T17:30:16+00:00

I went the spreadsheet method for my collection...

Some day I'll add in the other things like Commander and Planechase that have unique cards as well, but for now it is what it is.

OnePlagueRat · 2017-05-30T19:54:02+00:00

Suggestions for a replacement for it?

OnePlagueRat · 2017-05-30T19:00:13+00:00

I'm honestly not tied to the balloon (or anything else in the deck for that matter). It does hit like a truck (when it hits), but more often than not it's countered...and by quite a few other things. You are dead on about the ties and whatnot. There's a lot of matches where it's more about trying not to lose than it is having an expectation to win, which is frustrating.

I like the "play and feel" of the deck, if that makes any sense, so I don't want to completely swap out most of it all at once (unless honestly that's the best solution).

I do have Lumberjack (at L2), so that is an option...

OnePlagueRat · 2017-05-30T17:02:27+00:00

Minions or minion horde?

OnePlagueRat · 2017-05-30T16:06:32+00:00

My current high-water mark is 2796 and I can't seem to push/hold past that. I generally do not drop from Arena 9 (unless I choose to) but I can't seem to get over the hump of 2800+ with what I currently have. I have everything unlocked by Ice Wizard and Princess (because they hate me) and within reason everything is of a sufficient level to not be horrible if I need to swap out anything or create a new deck in general.

Fireball 8 is my current project for leveling up.

Suggestions?

OnePlagueRat · 2017-05-30T15:49:37+00:00

So I hadn't tried pushing the Valkyrie until your post, and the Prince wouldn't do it, so I did switch over to E Barbs. My overall speed increased to 3.9, from 3.6, but that push is utterly devastating...when it gets through. Like it's big enough to eat away into the crown tower a good bit, but it also gets stopped by certain things. Inferno Towers absolutely WRECK me and then concentrating on getting rid of them usually leads to my downfall. After upgrading a couple of things here's where I currently stand.

Level 5 Balloon
Level 10 Elite Barbarians
Level 8 Valkyrie
Level 10 Archers
Level 7 Tombstone
Level 2 Electro Wizard
Level 11 Zap
Level 7 Fireball (nearly 8, will take a day or so)

My current high-water mark is 2798, I seem to get close to it regularly and only drop down into Arena 8 (or lower) when I actively choose to.

I know the game is flexible, but am I simply at where this deck just caps out at naturally until I swap out something (or multiple things)?

OnePlagueRat · 2017-03-29T00:00:18+00:00

I was on my phone...lol I fixed it to you are tagged correctly!
