Just thought I'd point out that Shield protects from the attacks of monsters. Monsters being goblin, ogre, troll, and giant. Elementals are not protected against by the use of shield, but are protected against by the use of the appropriate Resist {Heat/Cold}

"Looks like we're in for a cold round here, Bob. We can already see the makings of an ice storm and ice elemental spells."
"Hey, looks like Milamber is starting to go transparent. Seems that he's decided, like Perry, that invisibility is a solid option."
"Oh, but look at that, Rakvol casts Dispel Magic. It seems that it's time to wipe the board clean again. It's a shame all those spells were countered."
"Well, it appears as if the summons already out have something to say about being banished. They both get their shots in before they go."
"Would you look at that, looks like another do nothing round."
"I wouldn't exactly say 'do nothing', Bob. Perry got of a small missle on Anton. Speaking of Anton, he now has a Giant on the field. No effects other than that, but still, there's a freakin' giant."
"Whoa, folks. This is a doosy of a round. Look at Milamber firing off that almost suicidal Ice Storm. It looks like he's determined to take as many people down as possible."
"Tyron seems to agree. He's taking the full advantage of this opportunity to knock Lord Feyd out of the competition."
"Oh, but not before Lord Feyd uses Anton's Giant to provide a vengeance strike against his killer."
"Would you look at that. It appears as if Perry and Rakvol are trying to play the long defensive game. Let's see how that turns out for them. This coming round aught to be interesting. Will the low life wizards be too appealing as easy targets or will they all become afraid of Perry's position?"
"Only 5 left, it won't be much longer now."

I'm curious how you would handle it if another player casted invisibility, atseal.
Same way I've been playing my moves. They would send me (and it would be published) md5 sums of their moves to be verified at the end of the game and they'd just let me know if they were casting a spell.
"Well folks, it looks like it could be all over here. Anton seems to have given up on this game and is deciding to take out the field with him."
"Wait, what is this? Perry is costing himself the game with that Dispel Magic! I guess he wasn't expecting a player to force a win for him. Such a shame."
"Oh well, I guess the game is still going."
"We had a slight delay in the game, but it's set to get back on track. Anton's looking to give up. Such a shame. Oh well, we still have 4 competitors."
"Make that 3. Perry just cast cause light wounds on Milamber to take out the last bit of his health."
"It looks like he got too close, though. Milamber is using the opportunity to stab Perry in the gut. That's gotta hurt."
"You said it, Bob."

My sincere apologies to people for messing up the 'C' rule so much that game. I'm going to take a break from hosting this for a while so that I can write a program to keep track of all the different movement rules for me.
At least we found out what one hand clapping sounds like.
But yeah, I probably should have picked up on it too. Sorry everyone.
The official rules probably should have a parentheses next to all the C gestures though.
I have it on good authority that the Phyrexians are going to win. However, Venser is then going to teleport the whole of New Phyrexia inside the Zendikar Hedrons, leaving the Phyrexians and Eldrazi trapped in an eternal struggle of the mechanics that nobody likes.
The next set will feature both infect and annihilator, and be called Maro'sWetDreamia. It will also feature a new Jace, to ensure that it sells well.
At least we found out what one hand clapping sounds like.
But yeah, I probably should have picked up on it too. Sorry everyone.

That's what truly screwed me up. Most of the time, I would just compare moves against the movement list to make sure they were legitimate. Remembering that C had to be done by both hands almost always slipped my mind.

I feel violently cheated. And that's the kind of violence that is neither satisfying nor hilarious.
(atlseal? BronYaur? Anybody?)
Good thing I was stabbing you Rakvol, otherwise you wouldn't still have your shield up when I stopped, and you would have been beat up by a troll!
You don't have to thank me.

You know what's funny? I totally expected to die this round, and looked on in pleasant surprise to my still living wizard.
Likely exactly the opposite of what Ced is feeling right now, having taken Lightning and Ice to the face and dropping from 6 to -3.

Makes sense. However, I don't think he should be able to use any spells based on that gesture (should essentially count as a blank).
He can use one from the P gesture, but the C, correct, won't be able to be used in the future.
