Gus_Smedstad:

That’s exactly what I expected it to do. The wording seems precise, it’s saying the game ends via normal means once the Ender of Days dies, which makes sense given the name. Why you’d think you got all the discarded honor, I don’t know, the text doesn’t support that interpretation.

The upshot is that you don’t want to kill the Ender if you’re so far behind that the 10 honor won’t let you win the game. Since we have lots of games with 20 point differentials, and a few painful ones with 50+, it’s very plausible that you could be in that situation. It’s another reason to dislike the card, it rewards the player who is already winning.

Dave and I just played a funzie with the new promos, and I got an early Nethersnare which I used to trap Ender of Days. That happened on turn 3 or something, and then I never got enough power to actually kill him, despite having one axe in play and like 10 heavies in my deck.

But having that threat there had a different effect, which is that I felt like I was pressuring Dave to end the game sooner than he wanted to, so that I wouldn’t be able to take advantage of my ace in the hole, so to speak. I’d be curious to know if AT felt that way, or if he just ignored it.

I didn’t know that you did that. :(

In Dave’s defense, he’s dumb as shit.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-09-21T17:06:53.000Z

I walked into that one!

pacman over ddtibbs 2-1

Two good close games (that we split) bracketed a middle game where I just got lifebound card after lifebound card and ran away with it. Nice games!

I’m sure it was the math. So hard, that stuff!

pacman over Pastose

Moment of Clarity can lead to some really great starts, like the one I had in this game. When I picked up the Weapon, Pastose bowed to the inevitable and yielded. Hopefully the next time we play it is a better one!

I have results to post, but have been too busy and irritable and then too drunk to sort everything out. Apologies to Dave and my opponents.

Still waiting on invite from Emos in circle.

Also I have a league win over Gus that didn’t make the chart.

Pacman14 · 2013-09-22T08:19:13.000Z

The point totals for Pastose and myself are off, I should have 6 and Pastose should have 3.

jaygittings > ColonelT
jaygittings > Pastose

Shaping up to be a pretty average month for me. Haven’t figured out how to consistently win against you guys. You all are really good. Perhaps you should go over and play Small World. I’m having much better luck there;)
