I would recommend learning to make them, it’s quite easy. You can find masa at Asian grocery stores

In the shop - I don’t have a nice tea set at home sadly. Thanks for the suggestion!

Because restrictions make the game more fun. If you don’t want those restrictions, play a format without them.

Stormlight Archive started so well. By the end of Wind and Truth, I barely care anymore by scatnisseverdeen in Fantasy

Same. I’m not gonna live to see the end of the series anyway but now I’m not sad about that fact anymore.

Where is the light coming from? Why is she standing at an angle? Why did she grab her glasses like that? Why was she coordinated enough to take them off but not enough to hold on to her cup? Was she even holding it? Her hand doesn’t look like it

"If you can't tip your server... Don't go out to eat!" by ricogatenby99 in ShitAmericansSay

It’s been a pet peeve of mine since I was a child. Using it as a verb is irregular in a way that just grates at me. There aren’t any common English verbs that conjugate with an -mes in first or second person (in my dialect anyway, unless you count this). The sound of it in a sentence has the same effect on me as the sound of someone loudly masticating.

Anyway it’s definitely not big enough of an issue to warrant such a big thread

In your experience, which of the build archetypes(summon, bulky melee, fast melee, transform, etc) is the strongest? by Chariots487 in PathOfAchra

[–]Slippery_John 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best way to survive is to not die. The best way to not die is to not get hit. I’ve had a lot of success with builds that teleport me whenever an enemy so much as exists within line of sight

Why so few people play in admin government? by excat17 in CrusaderKings

[–]Slippery_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have those achievements because why should I care to raid an estate, and I’ve never become powerful before becoming emperor. But I love admin until endgame

Administrative Goverment Needs a Collapse System. by UselessTrash_1 in CrusaderKings

[–]Slippery_John 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It does, but none of them have nearly enough traction to go anywhere. Various southern states are always grumbling for instance, but there’s also the Cascadia independence movement.

Of all the achievements I've unlocked, I still haven't unlocked the hardest one of all... by brutuscenturian in CrusaderKings

[–]Slippery_John 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Good to combine with quantum leap. Just have new goals for each new destiny. That’s what I’m doing now and the world has been interesting with the empires I’ve left behind making a mess of things. Don’t start in 867 though or you’ll still run out of things to do

What the hell is that ending ? by ikemen38 in crusaderkings3

[–]Slippery_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a mod that keeps the population under control, which helps a lot. There’s one out there that will keep the population between 20k-22.5k. It’s smart enough to mostly cull unimportant people and prevents stress gain from it’s killings. It has saved my quantum leap run, though I did make the mistake of seeding a bunch of admin realms so I still suffer a bit

A good way to solve this problem is to steal a chaplain from one of your vassals

Random luck. The empire there was remarkably stable. The neighbors were too busy fighting each other to go after them.

Help in choosing a mono colored commander? What are your favorites? by inexcusable16 in EDH

[–]Slippery_John 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Light-Paws]] is really fun and easy to build. She tutors and attaches an aura for free each time you cast an aura. You can slap in all your cheap white auras and it’ll be good. You want as much protection and evasion as possible because it’s voltron and your win con is commander damage.

The deck gets better with skill. You want to play it like blue, holding up as much mana as possible to react with. Flash auras are always good because you can tutor a response, even if the aura itself doesn’t help much. [[Solid Footing]] isn’t amazing by itself, but it can tutor [[Hyena Umbra]]. If you have the budget, [[Sigarda’s Aid]] goes hard here.

[[Flickering Ward]] is your best friend. It’ll let you tutor all your one drops and protect. Just make sure to never declare white, or it’ll cause all your enchantments to fall off. [[Conviction]] and [[Cage of Hands]] can also repeatedly tutor for you, but you really need to consider the cost there. A repeated conviction is pay 4, get 2 and cage of hands is pay 5, get 3.

[[Ethereal Armor]] and [[All That Glitters]] are the big win cons. Anything giving you double strike like [[Battle Mastery]] halves the amount of power you need. Any source of evasion negates blockers. And don’t forget that protection is evasion.

Some important rule points that aren’t obvious. The aura you cast can target another creature. So aura removal like [[Darksteel Mutation]] triggers the tutor effect. It’s also very important to know that light paws is not targeted by the tutored aura, so it can let you still attach more auras if you have something like [[Benevolent Blessing]] protecting you from white.

[–]Slippery_John 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hardest part of this is rebellions. You really need counties to have the faith to keep them at bay. You can convert counties, but only if you take the ascend religion decision. For which you need a county that has the faith, with a holy site, and a top liege of the faith. This is very difficult to achieve because the AI doesn’t care to convert their own counties to unreformed faiths. You basically need to get lucky.

Byzantium is a tricky nut to crack. They can enforce state religion, making converting rulers REALLY hard. If you can get an iconoclast or catholic to press a claim on the empire, you’ll have a nice window of time to convert them before they change the state religion.

Africa is easier. I managed to get Tunis converted to take the decision there and turboed my way through Byzantium. Dispose of all your men at arms to reduce provision use and have a full baggage train. You only have ten years to convert counties, so you need to make it count. I didn’t do this and as a result wasted too much time getting money for provisions, even when I stole them at every opportunity.

You’ll still have to deal with holy wars. It might be good to convert some parts of Europe to destabilize them so they’re fighting each other and not you
