FWIW I more or less wrote myself out of that, I didn't expect to get back in after leaving for Dominaria. So yeah.

Everything scares me... kitties scare me... squirrels scare me... corpses....corpses bring forth a pletora of confusing feeling which i prefer not to dwell on...:p
I think my brain just imploded due to this math insanity:
Three business men were traveling on a business trip together. They hotel they were staying at only had one open room, which cost $30 for a night. They each payed $10, since they only had to stay one night anyway.
After they had gone upstairs to their room, the manager remembered the hotel was having a special discount, and rooms were only $25. He gave $5 in one dollar bills to the bellhop to return to the men.
The bellhop realized that the men weren't going to be able to split the money three ways. He decided to give each man $1 back, and keep $2 for himself as a tip.
He gave the men each $1 back, then went downstairs. The three men were happy that they only had to pay $9 each for the room, instead of $10.
But if the men each payed $9 for the room ($27 total), and the bellhop kept $2 for himself ($29 total)... where did the final dollar go?

The hotel got 27 total (25 manager, 2 bellhop) and the three men lost 27. Manager has $25, Bellhop has $2, Men have $3. 25+2+3=30.
No money lost.
The issue is that the bellhop TOOK $2. 27-2=25, which is what the manager has. Men pay $9 each, $27 total, from which the bellhop snatches $2. That is $25, and the money Manager has for himself.

The Sage is occupied with the unspoken
and acts without effort.
Teaching without verbosity,
producing without possessing,
creating without regard to result,
claiming nothing,
the Sage has nothing to lose.

Exactly. Not many people notice. I sure didn't when I first heard it. Took me a long time to finally figure it out. It's easier to get people to ignore that fact when you're talking to them in person.

It's less a math question than it is a wording question. Kind of like that old (and stupid) joke: "There are three words in the English language that end with -gry. Angry and Hungry are two of them. What's the third?"
"Language". Because I said, there are three word in 'the English language'.
Verbally, this works because they can't hear where you drop a period. In text, however...
Tricky because of how its worded. They make SENSE, but you have to REALLY pay attention. So, kinda a trick question.
Green creature, which is supposed to be about community and strength in numbers and nature and flowers and butterflies, right? Yet she adds to your mana pool, the color most associated with selfishness and ulterior motives?! Obviously a scum trying to pretend to be town.

Wow.... getting addicted to the pron powers of FFXIII made me completely unable to post! but after 50 hours of constant gameplay and 15 hours of me IMPOSING myself to grind some Gran Pulse in fear the Cradle would be a hard fight (my god was i WRONG! is this a new trend of of XII and XIII? make the second to the last fight impossible but the actual boss fight stupidly easy??? actually no.... FFVII did it as well but still! i mean that was just so anticlimactic! I had more challenge trying to kill 3 tonberries before i 'cheated' and did a Sab-Med-Sentinel Lineup and just spammed Death), i am now back and happy to join the chaos, and to that end... SHORYUKEN!!!!

2. I think Giga just made the group face the second hardest fight in the woods area of Rasharaf.

He would have been good, except for the fact that he's insane.

The men have $28. It's more like $9.33 each.

My helpdesk should you need me.
Vote Lich Lord of Unx
Flavour is anti-town. Ability is that of a cult leader, if not reminiscent of the time when someone claimed Yawgmoth and the town was under attack by zombies. But anyways, obvscum.

He meant Brigid and Xen. Don't worry, you're still in Estark.
Also im incredibly disappointed at the lack of comments regarding my Shoryuken
And I'm drumming up cute ideas for Lightbringer, Sep. Gonna try and have something for lunch here.
