CLWheeljack:

Feel free to resurrect that thread with an open challenge. We probably don’t want more than 1 game going at a time, but there aren’t any rules about who can post or anything :)

Challenge posted in the exhibition match thread.

Game on over in the other thread.
Thanks to Justin for straightening out the rules for me.

I’ll be the Queen bee. I had no idea I would be a queen, but if the dress fits…

So it’s us vs scottagibson. Lets go get him!

Here’s a direct link to the Hive Mind action!

This 2 of 3 stuff is hard to pull off in a month for me. Finished the following matches
Vesper > Prolix 2-0
Vesper > jaygittings 2-0

Hey, that worked!

If anyone sees a discrepancy, let me know soon. Meanwhile, I’m going to bump out anyone who did not play most of his or her games, but those folks are always welcome to join back in.

I think you and me have a tiebreaker left. Not that I think it’s going to mean a lot for my chances for the playoffs.

Hey, that worked!

The best part is we can dimly see your reflection.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-08-04T11:47:06.000Z

Heh! I’m at a horse show and there ain’t any wireless.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-08-04T14:00:57.000Z

Oops I did the bonuses wrong. Fixing. Lots of reflections in these.

Check it over and the playoffs start tomorrow! Looks like fuzzyslug and dannimal are the two who really want to take a close look.

The summations for the SCE side of the table are all slightly out of sync!

Dave_Perkins · 2013-08-04T17:36:36.000Z

The bonus isn’t quite a simple sum.

Pythagorean Theorem water demo.

Gus_Smedstad1 · 2013-08-04T18:26:04.000Z

I want my 2 points back.

BTW, I’m at a horrible family outing, contact may be sparse. The Wifi seems erratic.

Vesper · 2013-08-04T18:37:27.000Z

It was fun this past month, but I’m going to have to go to [1] for August. Can’t keep up with 2 out of 3.

opkopk · 2013-08-04T18:39:45.000Z

I wimping out back to singles as well. Triples hurt my poor brainhead.

Gus_Smedstad:

but not so overwhelming as Arha Rising or Moment of Clarity.

I’ve heard you and others say this about Moment of Clarity, to the point where I’m starting to think I’m missing something. I don’t understand how you all are creating combos out of it. At best, I get an extra draw per turn, which is difficult to parlay into much else. Arha Rising is far more powerful in my opinion, as I can control it more. Care to share what you’ve been able to do with that event?

CLWheeljack · 2013-08-04T20:43:16.000Z

Moment of clarity is as powerful as the deck grants you. Since you draw with every Enlightened card, each one you draw walks your deck. But since you just bought an enlightened card, it probably tells you to draw more cards, right? So if you draw pile is empty, you can draw the card you just bought, which makes you draw even more cards, etc. If you are buying other cards in the meantime… Even, say, a mystic, you may draw the mystic, which may give you enough juice to buy another enlightened, etc, etc.

Arha rising is limited to the number of fanatics you can buy, usually only 1 or 2 per turn. Moment is limited only by what the deck serves you.

If your deck and the center are even moderately enlightened heavy, it’s not unusual to get full deck wipes on consecutive turns.

What do you mean. Are you using the even in conjunction with a Honey Siren or something? How would you have a guarantee to draw the card you just bought.

Hmm would it be better to go back to where everyone plays each other one time instead of two separate divisions playing one or three games?
