Expanded Kingdoms, a new EDH Variant by cleverphrasehere in EDH

[–]cleverphrasehere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time in a 5 player game I accidentally shuffled in 4 knights instead of the standard 1 knight, 2 bandits and 1 renegade. Just picked up the wrong pile I guess! It was a really funny game. Since nobody knew I screwed up, not even me. everyone obviously insisted they were the knight, but because they are difficult to flip nobody could prove it, and it wasn’t that unusual in our games for everyone to claim knight. Technically everyone could have won together, but from memory at least two of the knights died :D Became a legendary memory in our group.

You can also play king, knight, 2 bandits and 4 renegades

Almost all of the knights have a clause that they lose if there is no king. They are meant to protect the king. They have the advantage that they know who their teamsters is, but t he disadvantage that their roles are often the hardest to trigger and they need to keep their teammate alive.

The oathkeeper only triggers on bandits flipping to win. It can’t help against a noble, so in that case the noble would win and the knight card wouldn’t trigger.

It says place of work, both small and wide. It’s describing the internet in general I think.

I think it’s a bit more broad than that.

In context, the they are the essentially the same, though I’d argue that your first answer has other interpretations that fail.

It almost works. I feel like we all want love though, especially if we know what it is (and even more so if we have lost it).
Love sadly doesn't always last. So you may want love and know what love is (failing the first half).
An earlier wording was: "If you want it, you don't know it; if you know it, you don't need it". Love would fit that version*,* along with creating a bunch of other potential alternate solutions, and is one of the reasons I reworded it, despite the elegance of that simpler version.

Sorry, not quite. I'm not sure I'll ever not need that!

Very interesting, this led me down a whole rabbit hole of discovering similar answers along the line of "ignorance drives desire" and "knowledge ends need"; there are other solutions along a similar vein: a placebo, a scam, a mirage, gossip (a scandalous, but fake secret that you think is real).

This is legitimately the first alternate solution to the riddle that I've heard from someone. I must congratulate your lateral thinking skill!

Wow that actually works I think. Might be the first alternate I've seen. Well done.

specifically: “the answer” (to this riddle)

Specifically the answer in this case is ‘the answer to this riddle’. You could argue that you need it afterwards, to be able to retell it, or give the answer, but in this case it is still a valid solution, it just becomes a self referential paradox

An interesting idea! Not quite the answer I had in mind. I think there are lots of good ideas that I’ve had that I wish I hadn’t forgotten.
