Music / Re: Rate the song above you

« on: October 03, 2011, 07:07:07 pm »

7/10, but had you asked me a few weeks ago it would've been a 2. Faulkner's music has grown on me quite a bit. Great guitarist though I think he gets caught up with trying to make pop songs.

Persefone - Sanctuary: Light And Grief

This is probably not to most people's taste since its a bit on the extreme side of music.

Explosion is the exception though. It is so extreme and efficient that the only way to compete with it is to use generic quanta or be free.

Pre-Smithy Ideas / Re: Tethys, the Mother|Tethys, the Mother

Putting the abilities on the Oceanid implies that the Oceanids have the ability meaning each Oceanid would spawn more. The intent wasn't exponential growth for each use.

PU/Fractal/Mitosis would be able to target it since Titan doesn't prevent targeting. It just wouldn't create another Tethys. I'm not sure Fractalling and getting a bunch of tiny vanilla creatures is optimal Fractal abuse.

Pre-Smithy Ideas / Tethys, the Mother|Tethys, the Mother

NAME: Tethys, the Mother ELEMENT: Water COST: 8 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 3|4 TEXT: Titan   discard a card named Tethys, the Mother: Put 2 Oceanids into play. Whenever you play a water pillar put 2 Oceanids into play.	NAME: Tethys, the Mother ELEMENT: Water COST: 7 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 3|4 TEXT: Titan   discard a card named Tethys, the Mother: Put 2 Oceanids into play. Whenever you play a water pillar put 2 Oceanids into play.

ART: IDEA: Uppercut NOTES: Titan: You can only control 1 Titan of the same name. Oceanids are 1|2 and 2|2 (upgraded) water type creatures. SERIES:

So now comes the part about my doubts. The text is almost twice as long as what Planplan's image builder allows. Is this idea too convoluted? Also, does it seem balanced? Should the formatting on the activated ability say to discard the card before or after the colon? The difference is the way it is currently formatted associates the discarding as part of the cost, the latter implies the discard is part of the ability.

Also, technically it should be "Titaness" but I figured that if the ability gets used again somewhere else it'd be better to not have multiple keywords for the same ability. Also "Tethys (1)" could work as it suggests that there can only be 1 Tethys and furthering that logic you could get things like "Name (#)" to imply a limited amount of something in play at once. I don't know. The idea needs a lot of working.

Religion / Re: The greatest atheist in history

Norman Borlaug, happened to be atheist but is better known for making advancements in the genetic engineering of crops and feeding thousands if not millions of people. Also from my home state so he gets props for that too.

Not really an issue since turn 3 kills are already a thing.

Yes, at the very end of the turn. Your creatures still attack, your permanents still have to trigger so your weapon gets to hit. After that is when you lose.

I won't take the time to read this thread, but based on the name of the thread: absolutely no.

Uninformed opinion is uninformed.

And what I'm saying is most EtG players also watch porn. The amount of people who do some unrelated thing on a forum doesn't really matter. Most of us take showers, but that doesn't mean we should have avatars of people taking showers.

You're jumping to conclusions that I didn't make. I didn't say "Most people here do something so we should all have avatars of that." I was saying that you're going to get a lot of hate from this thread BECAUSE of the amount of people on here who like anime.

Hey LongDono, in a completely unrelated topic, wanna start a troll thread?

I enjoy taking showers but I'm respecting your right to not see someone take a shower, or rather I'm respecting the fact that the EtG forum may not be the appropriate place to display images of showers, shower heads, people taking showers, or the places where showers happen to be taken. However, if you're interested in discussion of showers feel free to PM me as I am very interested in showers.
