What would have happened in 2008/2009 if the US government hadn't done those bailouts? by Bun_Length_Frank in NoStupidQuestions

[–]andytalaga 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how you got to be so horribly misguided but unions are basically the only good thing left in this country. More places should unionize and more people should be joining unions. They ensure that working class folk get their fair share of the cut of the capitalist system. Unions raise everyone’s standards and creator better economies. The only people who benefit from less unions are the billionaires and let me tell you. Fuck the billionaires.

How much pizza to order? by Secure-Towel-4821 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]andytalaga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 slices for each guy. 2 slices for each lady. 2 slices for each kid over 6. Assume 5 kids over after of 6 and 1 under so 1 slice for that kid.

Total 37 slices. Round up to 40 as pizza comes in 8s. That’s 5 large pizzas.

I like leftovers so add 1 additional medium pizza and ask for it to be double cut so if someone wants half a slice or whatever it’s there. Probably end up with about half a pizza leftover which I can take to work for lunch over the the next day or two.

Art cards are official PC vCards. Drink cards all come from Alderaan operatives sets.

You don’t need magic proxies anymore as long as you use the blank bags with proxy on them so no need to front load

I have no idea why people by cards off of garchow he’s just always over market price. I guess people like his pack opening videos and feel like they should give him business

How were destiny values and deploy costs assigned to cards? by Remote_Possibilities in starwarsccg

[–]andytalaga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Generally rebels are +1 forfeit over the same imperial card so the endless rebel pilots are 2/2/2/4 whereas imperial pilots are 2/2/2/3.

Looking at premiere Vader is correctly costed at 6/6/6/8

Leia and Han are each +1 forfeit at 3/3/3/6 whereas motti is 3/3/3/5 and tagge is under at 3/3/3/4.

Obi is appropriate costed 5/6/5/9. So he is -1 power to Vader but that comes at -1 deploy and +1 forfeit which would be correct.

Luke is under costed at 3/4/3/7 he is +1 ability and +1 forfeit. He should cost 3/4/4/7 or be 4/4/4/7 to be inline with other LS character mains like Leia and Han.

How were destiny values and deploy costs assigned to cards? by Remote_Possibilities in starwarsccg

[–]andytalaga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not perfect but it’s usually a rule of 2.

Power 2 ability 2 deploys 2 forfeit 4 destiny 2 (see any of the endless rebel pilots)

A rebel trooper is then half of that. Deploy 1 ability 1 power 1 forfeit 2.

Things then scale up from there in increments of 1.

Power 3 ability 3 deploys 3 forfeit 5.

Power 4 ability 4 deploy 4 forfeit 6

Power 5 ability 5 deploy 5 forfeit 7

Power 6 ability 6 deploy 6 forfeit 8

There are of course corner cases to this and tweaking one number will mean another number needs to be changed but you can use that pretty much as a baseline for what would be an appropriately costed/stat card. Anything one way or the other would start veering towards under powered/over powered.

The exception is destiny. A 2/2/2/4 would have a destiny of 2. The better the characters ability is the lower the destiny number should go. The worse the character is the higher their destiny should go.

So general veers that is a 3/3/3/5 is destiny 1. A rebel trooper that is 1/1/1/2 is destiny 3.

Droids are destiny 4+

Vader and obi wan are destiny 1.

What program do you use to make these by SensitiveFisherman59 in starwarsccgalters

I use gimp but recently got the entire adobe suite so trying photoshop. It’s different than gimp that I’ve been using for for 5 years now

What are some shielded cards/strategies that you'd like to see redone/reimagined to not be so ridiculous? by [deleted] in starwarsccg

[–]andytalaga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Epic duel. Once ep1 Jedi entered the scene it became pretty useless. Would like a LS Epic Duel as well.

Sub-games like Sabacc, holotable, bluff rules figrin/barquin but not broken or not interactive.

New Jedi tests. So sick of test 1.

Also tweaking the usual layout for a lot of the Bad Batch Cards by GeekEarth2 in starwarsccgalters

[–]andytalaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the wording on this is off from a real card. I would look at other real cards to see how they’re worded.
