i think i would call this "vanilla minus"
that was, at least, my reasoning for playing a deck i hate simply because it is strong and unaffected by the round rule.
we'll see how it goes...
the 5 damage cards could all be good with some hoops to jump through
goblin grenade is decent with 8 goblins. more would be better though. thunderous wrath is rough without any way to ditch it from your opening hand, but occasionally awesome shrapnel blast requires some tweaking
By the way, a question for everyone voting Ika: What has Ika done to make him scummier than, say, hansa or void?
the other inactive players are just MIA. ika is actively not giving a crap.
its not that he's scummier per se, but he's either scum or town that isnt going to help anyway
you could always start with confusion in the ranks and norin the wary (playset of each is less than 20$ combined) and fill it however you want from there.
convoke creatures and tokens are both a cheap way to finish it off, but theres lots of options
I also don't like that you are fishing for a lynch. It's not normal to try and see which wagon will wheel, so to speak. If you think someone is scum you should push them to make mistakes. I think you did just that with Sir Chris and got my attention. He's now changed his tone markedly to get under the heat and pass it off on someone else. It's solid play on his part, but as he says, quite transparent.
If you like Sir Chris, me or someone else as scum than make your case for it. Fishing for a lynch from a 3-4 person list looks shady as all hell.
i think ive sufficiently made my case for chris. and you may notice i have not changed my vote.
i just want to move on to other possibilities. this thread was dangerously close to a conversation between me and chris for a minute there. and theres already enough people lurking in the shadows.
as for my hunting for a lynch, thats just playing the odds. if we never lynch anyone, we will lose.
like, thats a fact.
how could you possibly have a read on cyan? hasnt given us anything.
when you are proven scum, im going to remember that you gave him an endorsement with 5 posts
Why are you asking to talk about me? You don't need anyone's permission. Just post your questions or ideas. You can direct them to someone or to me even.
This post might be important though. I want the others to watch if Tom suddenly changes his focus here. He's been on Chris really hard since the beginning and now he's asking Chris if it's ok to talk about me. Is he your coach? Did he tell you to bus him and then come around to his mindset as the "elder player"? Interesting, we might need to remember #358.
don't worry, i still think chris is scum. he just seems unlikely to garner a majority as multiple players have already said they were unwilling to vote for him as well as hunt changing his vote away from chris.
"can we just talk about tappingstones instead" was not asking for permission (which is fairly obvious, but whatever), but rather gauging other players interest in voting for you.
my list of players i'm willing to vote for in #301 is unchanged (though void gets closer to being on it the longer he doesnt say anything)
You can change that by, you know, giving a crap
Nope
@jobie it seems like I'm just gonna stay active. But I'll consider taking some notes when I get busier.
@rhand several people have done that. Why call it out now?

i will be revisiting sir chris, but jobie is right. too many have already said they don't want him gone.
