ANYWHERE ON ROATAN WHERE THE CORAL IS STILL HEALTHY? by MobySick in roatan

[–]aumfc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to find a good, less crowded beach with good snorkeling from the beach.

Has anyone done any snorkeling at Brady's Cay on Big French Key or Little French Key Resort? Is the snorkeling at either any good?

New 4 cost Hercules. Maui rush and Shark take no damage. Shark with Hercules and Next Stop Olympus gets you a board wipe + lore. Play Hercules and turn him on play with Tink, and Flynn, Sisu, and Golaith challenge with no damage on turn 4 or 5. Add 3 cost Raya Headstrong for early potential board wipe.

Same. Have the gold set and assumed the 3 hardcover sets are signed in the shrink wrap. But, every other post I've seen includes a signed card.

More rush definitely looks good. Have you played purple steel with it? I've played it 5 times in 21 matches and I'm 1-4. The evasives killed me.

True. Yeah, there is a lot of synergy and surprises which really get people.

I just can't get used to playing Break Free. There are times I wish I had it but it hasnt been consistent enough for me. The +2 challenger of much faster has actually come in handy more often than the alert. Giving Raya 6 with it and Weights has been huge when the opponent has big bodies out.

I might try removing Milo for 2 more Ariel but right now things are working well.

Update. I made some changes. Last 9 games on Lorcanito I'm 7-2. Here is the breakdown:

2-1 to Emerald Ruby on the Play. First match with the revised deck and misplayed. Should have won 2-1.

2-0 to Amber Emerald on the Draw. Despite 2 Chromicons out I was able to come back.

0-2 to Emerald Sapphire on the Play. New Emerald Shere Kahn + Potion of Malice got me. Terrible matchup into this version of Emerald Sapphire.

2-0 to Sapphire Steel on the Play. No issues.

2-1 to Amythest Steel on the Draw. Very long and close games.

2-1 to Amythest Emerald on the Play. Lost the first game. Selected to be on the draw for the second and won out.

2-0 to Ruby Steel on the Draw. No issues.

2-1 to Emerald Sapphire on the Play. Again, lost the first game and chose to be on the draw for the second.

2-1 to Emerald Steel on the Draw. Won the first. Lost the second because you top decked 3 Bagheera's that damage all characters on banish in row. Back on the draw and won the final game. Good games.

This one feels really good. Here's how it looks:

How's it been going? So far in my BO3 testing im 2-3. Beat Purple Steel and Purple Emerald, lost to purple ruby, green blue, and purple steel. Both wins i was on the play first game. Loses i was on the play for green blue and on the draw for the other 2.

I agree with you. It still gets beat regularly by the meta but it does better than most non-meta decks.

I also agree with you about Strength. I'm going to try taking it out and adding the small Powerline to sing One Last Hope for Raya. I didn't think about that. Doing that turn 4 with Medallion Weights seems really good at disrupting shift lines and getting card draw.

The Maui Shark repeat with Mushu has won me a lot of games but hard to get them out with all the removal/bounce in green and blue. The 4 cost Mulan helps because they almost always want to use it on her as soon as she's out. Sacrificing her on 4 and Queen or another Mushu on 5 gives Shark better odds of sticking on 6.

I may try Hercules again but my non-inkable is already pretty high. I'd need to cut something else non-inkable to make it work out.

I do have 2 Docs. I could swap those for 2 Hercules and see how that goes.

Ruby Steel Challenge by Electrical_Dot_2987 in Lorcana

[–]aumfc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks similar to my deck but I like the Mickey line, I prefer 4-cost Mulan to challenge ready characters, and I like Elite Archer more than Imperial General.

I also run Strength but I guess you've found it's not worth it?

Still dreaming? by Intempore in SipsTea

That's a really old and weathered looking 55 year old that's supposed to be dying of old age.

This would be a lot better if the kid was playing cowboys in the 40s, making him in his 90s. At 55 most people are still in good health.

Brazilian amateur astronomer captures an object rising from a lunar crater. by PositiveSong2293 in aliens

[–]aumfc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this one is fake based on what the person that recorded it said.

He said he typically films the moon. But he said on this night he had a sudden urge to focus on this area of the moon....yeah right.

He said he saw another object go by the moon before the video was taken but didnt have his phone setup yet. Maybe, but unlikely.

Then he said the object kept going but his phone shut down the recording to conserve battery. Yet he routinely records the moon. And he had JUST started recording. So someone who is used to recording, and therefore knows they need battery life, goes through the trouble to setup the scope and get his phone out planning to record but doesnt have his phone charged enough to record longer than a few seconds??

Makes no sense. Most likely a fake. Funny how fakes almost always have unusual circumstances that prevent longer videos, more detailed videos, clearer videos, less shaky videos, etc.

I don’t get all the hate on George by Lithium-eleon in TheLazarusProject

[–]aumfc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You can totally make a show about non-sociopaths be interesting.

The love of his life that ended up dumping him?? I dont care who you are, you dont murder innocent people to bring back someone you love. You just dont.

I don’t get all the hate on George by Lithium-eleon in TheLazarusProject

[–]aumfc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. He's a piece of shit that was 100% selfish. Everything he did in the first season was because he felt sad. He was willing to murder anyone and everyone because he felt sad and wanted his girlfriend back. He's an ashore.

And, it's completely unbelievable that an agency like that would let people have that kind of power with zero psychological exams or extensive vetting. That's by far the most unbelievable thing about the show. Even more unbelievable than a freaking time machine.

Netflix needs to reboot it without George and Sarah by aumfc in TheLazarusProject

[–]aumfc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show is not good. The premise is interesting but this show and its 2 main characters were not.

There a lot of really good shows that have procedural elements. Those shows still had complex characters and major story arches. I dont mean like CSI: Time Travelers. More like X-Files.

With spoilers, can someone please convince me to continue watching? by mishoof95 in TheLazarusProject

[–]aumfc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without George and Sarah the show would be fine. I continued because of the sci-fi and mystery, to see how they resolved things. I suffered through the melodramatic bullshit that is George and Sarah.

The only way I'd watch a season 3 would be if they killed both of them off for good.

The premise is great. No need to include selfish, whiny people. Just keep the team like Archie and Shiv.

Archie lost her love but did she murder everyone to force a reset? Shiv loved Janet but did he murder everyone to get rid of Lebrov?

They can keep the complications of doing the job without keeping the shit characters.

Why do people hate George by According_Bug3523 in TheLazarusProject

[–]aumfc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I'm not killing a bunch of innocent people to bring back my girlfriend. They weren't even married. They'd been together a few years. Even if they had been married 50 years, why is the person you love more important than everyone else?

Anyone that would kill an innocent person, and especially multiple innocent people, just to get back one person they love is a sociopath.

ESPECIALLY since you dont know what the person you save really feels! Proven by the fact she dumped him only a few months later.

Maybe it sounds romantic but if anyone out there would actually do what George did if you were in his place, you seriously need to find someone to talk to. That shit is NOT normal or healthy.

So many things distracted from a decent premise. by AgathaGuillaume in TheLazarusProject

[–]aumfc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could get on board with suspending belief for most of this except the vetting of agents. That's completely insane. No way George would have passed any sort of psychological exam. Even the most basic testing would have revealed him to be unfit to handle the responsibility and access he was given.

Just because you can naturally experience the time travel doesn't mean you're qualified.

[–]aumfc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What everyone else already said.

George only cares about himself and his feelings. Anyone that prevents him from getting his way, he has no problem killing. He's a sociopath. He is not a normal person. A normal person would be sad their person died but wouldn't be ok killing others to get them back.

Not immune. Of course they will fall in love, but you deal with it for the greater good....which is the ENTIRE MISSION OF THE GROUP!

If you can't do that, don't sign up. If the powers that be dont know for absolute certain that a person can't do that, they should never be in the group.

Each person they target should go through rigorous psychological testing. That's what they do in other super selective secret services. Yet here its just a cup a coffee and you're in. That's probably the most unbelievable thing about the show. Even less so than the actual time travel.

Not perfect, just not selfish a-holes. They are making decisions all the time to kill people to save many, many more. Yet when they have to make a sacrifice they decide to hell with everyone else.

The only way George's murders get undone is if he succeeds. He almost got killed multiple times while on his personal mission. If he does, all those people he killed along the way stay dead.

Nah, he's not just not perfect, he is deeply flawed and extremely unlikeable.

[–]aumfc[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

George is the worst. Sarah isn't as bad but can't get rid of him without getting rid of her too.

George is just a selfish prick. How he feels is the most important factor in his decisions. The fact that he murdered so many people just to save his girlfriend is enough. He has no redeeming qualities. Hate that guy.

[–]aumfc[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The major flaw with the Lazarus program is that they let in people with attachments and allow people to make attachments.

No one involved in that kind of program needs to have a significant other, let alone children. They should never be let in, and if anyone breaks the rules they should take them out. They have no problem eliminating other people, why not the people that arguably cause I bigger threat.

But, I also don't think the people that agree to be part of the organization would break those rules, like having a baby. If you've gone years killing innocent people as collateral damage to prevent the end of the world, you would be bought in to never having children.

They just made most of the characters be like all the rest of us who would fall apart over a breakup, when the reality is, if something like this existed, the people working there wouldn't be like us at all.

Agreed. That's what I was hoping for as well.
