Yesterday, I got to fire a real M72A5 LAW anti-tank rocket. Today, I got to fire an APILAS (although the APILAS was with a training rocket). For the record, extremely few people get to do either of these things during the military training in Finland, and both of these things are indescribably amazing experiences.

Imagine my excitement when I first heard about this tremendous opportunity to do the right thing... and the ensuing disappointment upon learning that Swindler was still there :(

On first read through, I missed Swindler still being in the game and I got up and cheered. I actually ran around the room excited that this terrible, swingy card was removed from the game. But then I saw it was still there.

This happened to me with Chapel. Except I didn't actually run around the room.

Can we, uhm, get the official FAQ for Sauna/Avanto?

Will Sauna/Avanto ship with a FAQ, or will one be provided later, like with Summon?
I haven't written a FAQ

It's not a fun feeling to look at a board and think "welp, looks like this is only a 7-card kingdom this game" because three shitty cards were thrown in.

Unless the remaining 7 cards make for an interesting game.

It saddens me that so many people will still be playing with the removed cards just because. Removing the dud cards was more important for improving those sets than adding the new cards. If you play with all of them, you still have a bunch of almost-useless cards clogging up your Dominion games.

The dud cards are a great resource for kingdom design, because sometimes you might want to restrict the power or the availability of certain strategies by filling up the board with cards that don't play any role in any strategy available in the kingdom and there's also endless possibilities for designed kingdoms to actually have the rare circumstances where the dud cards can be useful.

I still think the simplest fix to Scout is making it cost $2.

That still doesn't fix the problem that you almost never want to have Scout in your deck even if it's for no cost at all.

So I guess the big question is do you get both full sets out just the update packs. I'm leaning towards the full sets because I'm a nerd.

The real question is, do I go out and buy first edition Intrigue while I still can, or let the chance to own Scout slip forever through my fingers?

Buy it, don't unwrap it.  Will be worth huge moneys.

You'll get $4 for each Scout.

Quick make scout jokes while you still can.

I don't think there's any danger of Brick becoming canon.  But still, it combos with Ironmonger better than Rats does.

I think the joke is that Scout is in danger of getting removed from the second edition of Intrigue.

Anyone else considering buying the entire new editions just for the they pronoun cards, bold text +Whatever, and errata cards? maybe these are too few cards to be worth buying whole new sets for, but I could give away my old ones.

I've always had gender neutral pronouns on all of my cards.

This title is really out of date, the current templating should be "Creature - Bugs".

FTFY

Also, it would probably be Insect instead.

Probably it's more moral to donate charity and not download the games illegally than it is to donate to charity and download the games illegally. So if you are trying to optimize your morality I guess you can't play games.

How is it moral to not download games?

But unsurprisingly, not as useful as food.  Having a bunch of fans who will then also illegally download your stuff, and no one who pays even the smallest bit, means you starve.

Only if I work for free.

It would be cool to have everything crowdfunded. I wouldn't disagree with that. It couldn't work with everything, but I don't hate crowdfunding as an idea.

Why couldn't it work with everything?

If nobody pays for it, there will be no product.

That's how it would work if all creators did what I'm suggesting they should do (i.e. crowdfunding every project and not doing the project if they don't get paid enough money for it to be worth their time). The way most creators do it now, the creators create the product for free and then if nobody pays for the product (regardless of whether or not they acquired it through other means), they just spent a lot of time and got nothing in return but the product definitely exists.

if everyone is a utilitarian who thinks the way that you do, why does anybody have to pay for anything?

I don't think there exists a utilitarian who thins the way that I do. I'm not a utilitarian, I'm an ethical egoist (which is why I download stuff for free and then don't donate to charities outside of special occasions when I happen to feel like donating money either to a creator I like or a charity I like). People have to pay for certain stuff that has value (like services and physical items) because that stuff is limited and not freely available to everyone.

...Who will then also download it illegally.

And tell their friends about it. By the end of the day, you've gained a bunch of fans for free. That's super useful to a creator.

The argument itself was bogus, presenting only two options where more exist.

It was eHalcyon who was suggesting that silverspawn should neither pay for entertainment nor download it illegally, because reasons.

Why is it better for the developer? I would rather nobody use my product than someone use it and not pay for it.

Because if someone uses it and likes it, they're going to tell their friends about it.

But why don't you donate without illegally downloading all that stuff?

According to utilitarianism, it's better to illegally download stuff that you enjoy than not having that stuff at all.

Better for you, but better for the developer? Absolutely not. Utilitarianism is thinly veiled selfishness disguised as a legitimate ideology.

Better for me and better for the developer.
