I always wondered at that, it just gives up sometime. 'Putes has a real hard time with rampage, too. Often you can get it to multi block a guy if no single creature will kill it but multiples would - if dude didn't have rampage - Oh! Cleared your board.
I didn't see this until now...How the hell do you have rampage in your Shandalar game?
Daron.....hello.....How are you? We're doing fine. Good to see you again!
Ok...now...Who passed this measure...Canada's government? US's government? I haven't heard anything about it. Give me some more details. I'll do some searching. I know that Citi Group is trading at less than $1!!!:eek:

I can't watch youtube in the office!!:(:( I'll read the article and get back to you....stay on Facebook!
AND...
What I heard on the radio is that Citi group is trading at less than $1. Bank of america is WAYY down. AIG is well obvious. The big five stocks in the DOW are all trading at less than $10 a share. I also heard yesterday that China is looking into a bailout for their country as well. This would certainly help the value of nearly every other country's currency...especially the US. Now....these are all just things I heard being thrown around on the radio yesterday and today....I'm sure they're all connected.

Hey Daron. Nice to see you visiting. Been good round here...just normal clan contests and random chatting.
Haven't heard about any emergency bailout...think it would have been big news since every other bailout was big news.
I just logged into US bank and had no problems. So no worries there for me.
I am sad that City-group is under $1. Lost 2/3rds of my retirement cause of that. Guess I should have waited a week before investing.
Honestly though, I'm not worried right now and I am not sure why I should be. We've been through similar situations in the early 80's and 40's with bumps and dips in between and we have recovered. It's painful now cause so many crooks are getting away with ♥♥♥♥. ♥♥♥♥ers go out of their way to scam us and its legal. Like AIG. Come on, they insure bad loans then sell those bad loans to foreign markets, exploiting foreign market loopholes to show capital where none exist, all while maintaining their AAA rating...Which is no suprise since they pay the people who make the AAA rating. Completely legal...and we're collapsing cause of it. Though to be honest I don't understand why we have to pay the bad loans made by the banks then pay the bad insurance on the bad loans....isn't that paying for the bad loan twice? Couldn't we pay for the bad loans and just let the bad insurance...i.e. AIG...fail? I'm not an economist so I don't know.
Again, I am not worried. I'm still determined to invest in my retirement and am eager to utilize the downturn to bolter my ♥♥♥♥ing investments. I figure in 40 years things got to increase. In the mean time I just play it safe, buy what I can afford, live sustainably, and if I lose my job do what I always do and apply accross the nation/world.
Now Daron...I don't think there was a $500 billion bailout passed, but why would that bother you? I mean Bush had an $800 billion bailout passed, Obama had another $800 billion, and Obama's budget has a little over 1 trillion in deficit. So another $500 billion, while being ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and ♥♥♥♥ed up, is probably in store in the future anyway.
Cheers,
Daggertooth
Edit: your you-tube link didn't work for me Daron. And the article seemed to just show the Senet moving towards something and nothing passed emergency wise. I figure that our govenment can't move that fast...and considering the fiasco of the first bailout they will debate long and hard about a third.

Dags, I'm soooo proud of you! That's an AWESOME story, and I've had a few nights like that myself. LOL, last time it happened to me I tried to flag down a ride home, accidentally flagged down a State Patrol officer on his way back from work. Guy turned out to be really nice though, and gave me a ride home.
If anyone has a link to where I can download Shandalar from that would be amazingly sexy. Last time I played that deck I built UW control. I picked up 2x Timetwister pretty early on, so I'd cast a bunch of permanents (moxen, Ivory Tower, Lands, etc) then use Timetwister to recycle my spells till all I was drawing was counterspells, STP and Wrath.

Went to see Watchmen today, + even having read the comic many many times, I was unprepared for the ultra-violence! I skipped the whole Saw phenomena, though, so I guess I'm caught up now with what is deemed OK as far as on-screen violence goes.
A lot (well, ok, 5 or so) people left partway through. Too long? Too gory? Anyway, it's a pretty faithful translation of the book, considering how much is gutted. Anyone else here watching the Watchmen?
Oh yeah, before I forget again; Shandalar: rampage might only be added in for the sealed deck nonsense with the ManaLink 2.0 upgrade, but there are rampage dudes both in Arabian Nights + Legends, so there ya go, SP.

I was planning to watch it today but my mate bailed so I didn't end up going, I'd like to go see it sometime this week though.
On on screen violence: As far a saw goes I thought it was pretty tame, depending on which one you're talking about, I got no problem with on screen violence any way as long as its for added effect and has something to do with the storyline, violence fore the sake of violence is just boring imo.
Does anyone know if "the news hour with Jim Lerhre" is still on the air? I found it in the listings and told my technology to record it...but it hasn't recorded one episode. Meh, not the most important thing. News all seem to be doom and gloom right now anyway.
Still haven't found anything about $500 billion in the news. I have my doubts about it ever taking place. Though I figure there'll be more and more bailouts before this crisis is over.
I did see some interesting comments about this on Daron's facebook. He deleted it, but there were some rather hateful comments against america there (Not from Daron). I'm not offended, everyone has a right to their opinion, It just struck me that if there was that much dislike and hate no wonder Daron left when some of us started defending America. I didn't understand that until now.

I too saw Watchmen over the weekend. And I wish I could get those 3 hours of my life back. It started out good but just kinda died off. Too long? Definately. Too Gory? No such thing. And the ending isn't as obvious as it needs to be. I hadn't read the graphic novel. So, maybe it is becuase I sat there trying to figure out what was going on for 3 hours, but somone had to point out to me what the ending meant. The movie was both too much and not enough. After the second hour I was looking at the time on my cell, waiting for it to be over.
I did however like one quote: Rorschach- "None of you seem to understand.. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me."
.
.
According to reviews if you havn't read the novel you have no idea what's going on, I hope it isn't like that, because I havn't read the book but a definitely want to see it.
Played some senior students indoor cricket today for the school, was good fun, nothing like the real game aside from the bowling, hard game, very fun though.
Guess what everyone. I'm Rich! All my money woes are over now! I just got an email saying that someone named Anthony H. Fredrick died and I am his next of kin. Never mind I've never heard of the guy before in any family genealogy, he's worth 28 million and I get 40% of it. All I have to do is respond to this random email and I'll be a millionaire!
What will I do with all my money? Probably go Phishing.

Hey Travis. Did I tell you about that time I climbed Squaw Tits and hugged the nipples?
RE Shandalar. I figured out a partial workaround to my problem. If you right click where the deck is, there's an "add all cards of color X" option (and adding cards will also add the associated basic land). I'm a bit disappointed, since the deck I want to build pretty much needs basic lands to run. Of course I also don't have the cards for it yet, but that's a seperate issue. Heh, I forgot how easy this game is. The ability to only play a 40 card deck is just sick.
Most of the cards that are 1 ofs are crap you can only find in a dungeon. I'd loooove to play 4x Black Lotus, but yeah right. I do however have dual timetwisters already, and a full playset of Ivory Towers (I literally won 3 of them off the big dragon things that live in those ruins and hoard valuable cards).
It's a bit over the 40 card minimum, but whatever. The Ivory Towers makes it an ideal deck for dungeons and castles, since it effectively negates whatever starts in play, as well as counteracting the 'life loss carries over' clause. Still, games take forevvvar, so (and I've actually got this one completely built), my "walking around" deck is this
The idea of course being to explode out of the gate with cheap critters, refill my hand with contract(s), and finish him off with a Drain Life. COP black is just about the only thing I can't deal with. I even managed to outrace some jackass with Karma by going T 1 Swamp, Ritual, Mox, Erg, Knight. T2 Swamp, Bad Moon. t3 Contract, Swamp, Bad Moon. By the time he had Karma online I had already smashed his face in for a bunch of damage and was in position to *easily* outrace 4 damage a turn.
I haven't tested or tried this deck... at ALL. But given how slow most of the decks in Shandalar actually are, I'm curious to see if I can't get something like this to work.
I was told today that this kid on my team called 911 twice this morning and hung up both times. They called back and his dad answered. The reason the kid called 911? He got an erection and didn't know what to do. I wish I was making this up.
So...one last Extended PTQ to end the season. I'm driving up to Philly on Saturday morning and would like to get some thoughts about my Fae deck before I go. I'll post it up here this evening after I get home and post it on the extended thread as well.

Yup. The whole story can be found Here in my first and only installment of "Cooking with Chris." I was showing of my cooking prowess. Or to the trained eye I was showing off inefficiency and/or incompetence in backpacking. Nothing pre-prepared, carrying much more than needed, and using five times more gas than I should have. Plus I carried around a pound of cheese I never used. Still good to eat. :-p
Speaking of eating. I've been trying to eat healthier to be healthier. Something about my sedentary, high carb, high fat, no nutrient diet isn't going so well with me. Problem is I'm ignorant on this new food pyramid, plus it wouldn't hurt to brush up on the basics on nutrients needed, both essential and trace. Like how much Iodine I'm suppose to ingest. So I did some searching and here is what I found:
Quote from Welch et al. (2001) Visual morphology and feeding behaviour of the daggertooth »
Dissection of freshly eaten prey suggests that the North Pacific daggertooth, Anotopterus nikparini, sever the spine of small prey with a single slashing blow. The bite marks indicate that the immobilized prey is manipulated and swallowed head first. Frequent evidence suggests daggertooth wound prey which are too large to consume whole by cutting off strips of flesh. In either case the wounds consist of a single prominent slash mark on one side and a series of inconspicuous marks on the opposite side. Retinal morphology provides supporting evidence that daggertooths are visual ambush predators that attack prey from below, and should be considered as epipelagic rather than mesopelagic fish. Visual acuity appears to be high, suggesting that frequent attacks on prey too large to be killed immediately is not error, but a well-defined feeding behaviour. The daggertooth may be a significant source of mortality for economically important fish such as all sizes of salmon.
So Sever the spine of larger animals with single slashing blows and eat more salmon. Got it.
Cheers,
Daggertooth

My little brother did that, and I erased it when I saw the reaction, sorry dude. Between the persecution for being gay, and the ridicule of being an alcoholic (non-practicing), he has become bitter and at times hateful toward certain groups. Maybe he thinks he's getting back at people for all the isht that's been done to him, I dunno. He still has some growing up to do. (says the ultra-mature older brother.... hah!)
Anyway, the $500b did go through, but it wasn't actually a bailout, it's a line of credit. Basically the FDIC can now tap into half a trillion if needed. Their job, as you probably know, is to plug holes if banks fail. Word has it that JP Morgan is next, and most are saying if that goes, half a trillion won't even be a drop in the bucket. We're talking $100 TRILLION in derivatives and other nonsense. You can't bail that out. That's double the GDP of the Earth.
My US bank had simply been doing some unrelated cleanup right when that happened. Sorry for freaking out on you guys. Apparently the head honchos decided to close every account that currently had a zero balance. Since my US account is only used for accept money from PayPal and then sending it along to my Canadian bank, it's almost always at zero. Nothing in my user agreement said I needed to carry a balance, and my fees were all paid up, so what it comes down to is that they were trying to save money. Unfortunately it took me 2 days to get the account re-opened, and now I have to re-verify myself again by waiting for a code via snailmail, and so on. Disruptive.... my income (low as it is) is stuck in a frickin' US bank until further notice. I wish I hadn't come running in here when I was freaked out though, bothering you guys with exactly the same crap that got me out of here in the first place. Sorry
Watchmen was indeed good. I'd never read the comic, and never even heard about it, but enjoyed the movie.
It was pretty different. Luckily for it - it would have just been another crappy fantastic 4 knockoff without some of the quirkier elements they added, and imo they pulled it off.
There was something about the ending to get? Hmmm, maybe I need to look into that. It just seemed to fade out, from what I recall. Nothing tricky or interesting.

I do however have dual timetwisters already, and a full playset of Ivory Towers (I literally won 3 of them off the big dragon things that live in those ruins and hoard valuable cards).
4 Tundra
4 Badlands
4 Underground Sea
1 City of Brass
1 Library of Alexandria
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Black Lotus
4 Swords to Plowshares
3 Wrath of God
1 Control Magic
Permission
4 Counterspell
3 Power Sink
Card Advantage
2 Timetwister
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Mind Twist
1 Braingeyser
2 Serra Angel
3 Ivory Tower
1 Time Walk
It's a bit over the 40 card minimum, but whatever. The Ivory Towers makes it an ideal deck for dungeons and castles, since it effectively negates whatever starts in play, as well as counteracting the 'life loss carries over' clause. Still, games take forevvvar, so (and I've actually got this one completely built), my "walking around" deck is this
10 Swamp
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Jet
4 Dark Ritual
4 Erg Raiders
4 Black Knight
4 Hypnotic Specter
4 Bad Moon
4 Contract From Below
3 Drain Life
1 Mind Twist
The idea of course being to explode out of the gate with cheap critters, refill my hand with contract(s), and finish him off with a Drain Life. COP black is just about the only thing I can't deal with. I even managed to outrace some jackass with Karma by going T 1 Swamp, Ritual, Mox, Erg, Knight. T2 Swamp, Bad Moon. t3 Contract, Swamp, Bad Moon. By the time he had Karma online I had already smashed his face in for a bunch of damage and was in position to *easily* outrace 4 damage a turn.
Then an idea I just had for a bit of a challenge
5 Mountain
5 Forest
4 Earthquake
3 Distinitgrate
4 Fireball
4 Stream of Life
3 Hurricane
4 Mana Flare
I haven't tested or tried this deck... at ALL. But given how slow most of the decks in Shandalar actually are, I'm curious to see if I can't get something like this to work.

Yup. The whole story can be found Here in my first and only installment of "Cooking with Chris." I was showing of my cooking prowess. Or to the trained eye I was showing off inefficiency and/or incompetence in backpacking. Nothing pre-prepared, carrying much more than needed, and using five times more gas than I should have. Plus I carried around a pound of cheese I never used. Still good to eat. :-p
Speaking of eating. I've been trying to eat healthier to be healthier. Something about my sedentary, high carb, high fat, no nutrient diet isn't going so well with me. Problem is I'm ignorant on this new food pyramid, plus it wouldn't hurt to brush up on the basics on nutrients needed, both essential and trace. Like how much Iodine I'm suppose to ingest. So I did some searching and here is what I found:
So Sever the spine of larger animals with single slashing blows and eat more salmon. Got it.

For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go.

My little brother did that, and I erased it when I saw the reaction, sorry dude. Between the persecution for being gay, and the ridicule of being an alcoholic (non-practicing), he has become bitter and at times hateful toward certain groups. Maybe he thinks he's getting back at people for all the isht that's been done to him, I dunno. He still has some growing up to do. (says the ultra-mature older brother.... hah!)
Anyway, the $500b did go through, but it wasn't actually a bailout, it's a line of credit. Basically the FDIC can now tap into half a trillion if needed. Their job, as you probably know, is to plug holes if banks fail. Word has it that JP Morgan is next, and most are saying if that goes, half a trillion won't even be a drop in the bucket. We're talking $100 TRILLION in derivatives and other nonsense. You can't bail that out. That's double the GDP of the Earth.
My US bank had simply been doing some unrelated cleanup right when that happened. Sorry for freaking out on you guys. Apparently the head honchos decided to close every account that currently had a zero balance. Since my US account is only used for accept money from PayPal and then sending it along to my Canadian bank, it's almost always at zero. Nothing in my user agreement said I needed to carry a balance, and my fees were all paid up, so what it comes down to is that they were trying to save money. Unfortunately it took me 2 days to get the account re-opened, and now I have to re-verify myself again by waiting for a code via snailmail, and so on. Disruptive.... my income (low as it is) is stuck in a frickin' US bank until further notice. I wish I hadn't come running in here when I was freaked out though, bothering you guys with exactly the same crap that got me out of here in the first place. Sorry
Watchmen was indeed good. I'd never read the comic, and never even heard about it, but enjoyed the movie.
