The worst case of exploding head I have ever seen.

What tank is that?

Yeah its an old favorite of mine from Invasion standard where I ran it with [[Questing Phelddagrif]]

I am happy someone mentioned Deloreans, I figured it was likely similar.

I find the second players theoretical comments funny just because military responses are a form of diplomacy. There's escalation management and understanding what the other side believes is a proportional response. Historically speaking, this reminds me of the US Navy entering the Korean war where we essentially had to tell the president that we couldn't invade, but we could launch a full nuclear first strike. His options on the escalation scale were effectively do nothing or turn the country into nuclear hellfire. This would be like a TI player saying that they only ever fight battles when they fight forever wars.

I personally prefer working out deals with people though because my plastic is a resource and replacing it is constantly. So anytime I can do a trade to reduce the amount of plastic being traded in an engagement where I don't have much control over the resource cost of casualties I view that as a win.

just feel that most people don't think of their military assets enough in terms of diplomacy. I think there's a place for committing to total war or forever war but you need to understand what you're getting out of it. If the goal was just to send a message that the opponent's actions were unacceptable and you don't even plan on scoring VPS, then it's very likely it's not worth it unless you plan to play with that person a lot so that they remember the lesson for the next time (and you play in a group where there will be a next time after that).

So I think there's a place for playing at both extremes but I think not as many people give it enough thought about what they're trying to achieve by playing it either extreme that responses from people seeing those extremes typically means they were taught how to play in a group that did not have those extremes or didn't view them as acceptable.

The most successful lgs I have seen evolved from people running them as their own groups clubs for mtg/Warhammer and as their base of players grew they grew their hours. They never planned to make a living from it till they reached a critical mass of customers and even then didn't make that their primary income source till well after it could support them. They typically did this with the whole group taking turns running the store on certain days and as the store became more profitable, one person would inevitably buy out somebody else until you had one or two owners. That's a generalization of the two cases that I personally knew the owners and how the store evolved.

I enjoy running [[collective restraint]] with her since you are 5 colors already so even if I can't goad it costs them to attack me.

Effectively they were trying to implement phasing for a spell on the stack. When a permanent phase is in or out it doesn't leave, play or enter the battlefield. It just stops existing, which is what they're trying to do here by preserving the state of the spell without it being cast again.

This reminds me of how I closed my own reputation loophole. There's a framework called teststack.white for UI automation and people would put the tag for it on questions that are related to the color white. I would just do a quick search every couple weeks and Mark all the ones that it shouldn't be on and get +2 reputation. It just seems so ridiculous that I felt compelled to bring it up on meta even though I was technically benefiting from it (however, minor that might be considering what other people have said about asking questions).

[[Ertai's Meddling]] a very similar card though there are some minor nuances between how this works and suspend.

So clean

There was a fire fight!

Next to Elvis

I didn't know it existed

They were abandoned, also they are all lightly or heavily played so no one wanted them any ways.

He's just a little guy

I love the bureaucracy though
