$75 for the Commander's Arsenal? That sounds like... a lot of money.

Unless I was missing something about the contents, $75 seemed severely overpriced.

Also, that calendar post reminds me of a certain quiz you had a while back on Sporcle.

Why do you people still have that avatar?

That has already been explained. Its a show of solidarity for an unjustly banned forum member that we respect for all the good he did while here.

Just because you had an issue with him doesn't mean that everything he did here was bad. He did a lot of good while he was a WCT mod and since then has been working towards a better direction for the staff as a whole. It is because of him and people like him that Rian was finally removed from admin, that the staff have moved to being better at open dialogue between the users and themselves. And that's just a couple examples.


edit sorry Crafters. We should keep the politics out of your thread. Sy PM me if you want to continue this line of discussion.

I will be quite disappointed in myself if I end up purchasing the Arsenal.

Unless there's absolute gold in it.

I am not sure, DQ. I have a feeling Wizards can't possibly justify that cost. That's 2freaking commander decks! There would have to be platinum in there!

*shrugs*

I dunno. Maybe if it had some crazy good stuff. I really want that die and those sleeves... Wizards! Stop tempting me!

Commander's Arsenal is suppose to retail for a whopping $75... However... there is a foil Sylvan Library!!! If there are other amazing goodies like that... then I won't be too sad. I see a foil Mimeoplasm as well... hmmm... it'd be a waste of perfectly good space if they came out with foils for the 10 tri-color commanders then 8 other cards... that'd not be worth $75.... unless the other 7 unknown foils were like Tarmogoyf, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Maze of Ith, Force of Will, Natural Order, Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor...

Is what I said a few pages back... I doubt that'll be the case though...

I'm debating going to see a movie sometime this week... what should I see? Dark Knight Rises, Bourne Legacy or Total Recall? And don't say all of them... -_-

Commanders Arsenal is just too pricey for what it is (least from what we know so far).

Pika, go see DNR. The original Bourne movies were terrible enough I can't imagine this one being good. And Recall is a really ****ty remake.

Oh thanks for reminding me Kank. Need to kick start my clan into working on the CC

If you haven't seen Dark Knight, that one. The other ones are meh. Though, that's just my opinion.

@Tor: I'm willing to give Wizards the benefit of the doubt.

The Commander Arsenal would have to have some extraordinarily impressive cards in it to justify the price.

Also, the clan mafia signups will end pretty soon. I'll create a quicktopic for clan discussion as soon as I receive my role PM. Anyone who wants to join in, let me know either in this thread or by PM and I'll PM you the link once I make it.

I've never done a Mafia game before. Exactly how do they work?

... what, more evil dictator avatars? Am I missing something? Should I put on some fatigues, high heels and sunglasses and pretend to be an extremely tall and bald Kim Jong Il (or perhaps Un since I'm significantly overweight? ).

Kank, your talking to a Black Mage here I cant make any promises

Quote from Kankennon

You got it my man! No stealing our ideas, 'kay?

They're encouraging total clan participation on this. I think it may be fun to not know your role and then just try to play no matter what as if you are a good townie trying to get rid of the bad guys. Therefore other than secret information, you should indeed share what is going on in the game with the clan as a whole.

I think our discussion has to be limited to the clan quicktopic rather than the clan thread. I'll keep my role a secret though if you want. Since it's whole clan participation, I'll mass PM once I set up the quicktopic.

I've never done a Mafia game before. Exactly how do they work?

Mafia is a game that has two main teams: Town and Mafia (aka scum). The town usually outnumber the scum by a factor of around 3:1, and win by eliminating the scum and all other anti-town players (neutral serial killers and cults). The scum on the other hand are seeking to be at equal numbers with the town, at which point they control the town. Scum also have the benefit of knowing who the other scum are. There may also be neutral players. The three most common types are Survivor (wins with either side, but only if they remain alive to the endgame), Serial Killer (wins by being the last person alive), and cult (recruits a member each night, wins by comprising half the town)

The game plays out in a series of day/night cycles. During the day, everyone has a vote that they can place on any other player. If a player reaches a majority of votes, that player is lynched: They are removed from the game, and their alignment is shown. Alternatively, a majority (sometimes exactly half depending on the mod) can vote for a No Lynch, killing no one. After a lynch or No Lynch, it becomes night. Most abilities happen during the night. The chief among these is that the scum can talk to each other and decide on a player to nightkill. That player is removed from the game, and their alignment is shown, same as if they were lynched. (The process of being killed and having one's alignment be shown is called flipping, you may hear players say that "I think X is scum if Y flips town").

In addition, most roles have an ability that triggers during the night. I can point them out in the quicktopic along with any expressions and abbreviations as they come up.

The more the merrier!

So how many players are participating? One rep from each clan (and then the clan collaborates the move)? Or is it going to be a giant mafia game where everyone in every clan plays?

I don't like Mafia... They're not fun... 3:<

Anyway... Kank, I think the card's compleat... >:3

One rep for each clan, with the members helping the rep.

A giant mafia game with everyone in every clan playing would take years.

lol. That's what I figured. Good luck WG! Let's get Iso and Tordeck first...

If recent games are any indication, I will probably find Iso scummy lol.

Its Iso are there any games where he doesn't act scummy for one reason or another?

Anyways, random attachment from my calendar.

There is no 'e'

@Dictator avatars: Meh. I could pass on that one.
@Clan mafia: The clanwide participation sounds really cool. I'll help in any way I can with the limited time I have
