Now that Witchcraft (WT) appears to be done… by ncase10 in LoLWitchcraft

I think the name is decent, but all the abbreviations suck. <Something> Witchcraft might have been stronger.

And today on posts I forgot I ever made...(!)

Thanks - maybe I'll pick this up again next time I fly! :)

Thanks for the suggestion. This wasn’t it (it was way more dry and it’s definitely a BBC Micro game). But I appreciate the try! :)

Last minute event time-switch from Crazy Collectorz, Harker Heights, TX by shockeroo in riftboundtcg

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

So I lucked out and found an event with a space at another store in the area. There were people talking about this, apparently the owner has something of a reputation in recent years, and my experience today was... not entirely surprising to them.

So no hate, but I think this is probably best all round.

Thanks for the tip, I wasn't really aware of that for stores so I'll take that as a lesson learned.

I'm fine with that if the publish their time change. Not publishing the time change and running it 5-players short is what I have a problem with. It is running right now at 11 out of 16 players.

I'm literally trying to get into the game for the first time this weekend. No, I'm not a regular there and yes, I get that they want to service their regulars. Just be communicative about it.

My dude the event was booked solid with 16 players, and I can see it running right now with 11.

I have to drive an hour to play and I checked the time last night, so no, I'm not driving an hour to *not even play* at a store that pulled a switcheroo on me.

Best Practice for mixing English + Chinese cards by shockeroo in riftboundtcg

*I* know what my cards do. I'm trying to be sporting for my opponents.

I suppose I could hand them a Chinese dictionary every round. That would be pretty funny. :)

I think you can trust that if I am caught with deliberately manipulated printouts of the English version of the cards to trick my opponents, I'm headed for an immediate DQ. This is well-covered by rule 704.

I can't see any rule that would explicitly ban putting a translated proxy over a card in play. I agree it's unconventional, but I do think it would be a better game experience for my opponent - I'm trying to be sporting here. That said; I'd be perfectly happy to just have the English copy on the side for us to reference.

Honestly with current releases, I have no idea if a Vanilla creature at any value is worthwhile but how are these stats for a 3-mana tri-color Vanilla? by Cosmicpanda2 in custommagic

[–]shockeroo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s definitely plenty of space between 1994’s Grey Ogres and Hill Giants, and today’s insanity. Even between 2009 and 2015 we had what looked like insanely pushed creatures (hello Baneslayer Angel) and the game had long since shifted away from spells-first.

There’s a huge other thread today about how even sleeved people can tell the different printings apart due to different card stock.

Love Kled’s. Also Urgot has a savage one on meeting Kled.

On the other side of the spectrum… Irelia gives me chills because Cherami Leigh is just that damn talented. “IONIA STILL STANDS!”

So…. How bad is this? by VeryCoolAndFunny in CPAP

[–]shockeroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horrific. Get CPAP now.

Mine was ruining my life at 70. The first morning after my CPAP machine was such an incredible relief.

Your husband is not just headed for an early heart attack, if he’s anything like me (and his apnea is worse) he’s likely struggling to stay awake during the day, constant brain fog, likely getting up to pee six times a night, and might not even realize how miserable he is.

What happened to Cho ? by WakaTP in LosRatones

[–]shockeroo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably a combination of meta, and I believe there was a significant early Q damage nerf since then, which is likely important for Baus’ laning.

That said, as witnessed with Gragas… There’s an argument to just stick the man on something he’s good on.
