Ambassador war.
can someone explain this to me? it's not an oxymoron, it's not uncommon, why is it funny?

Ambassadors are generally diplomats for peace.

hm i see i always thought ambassador = fancy word for messanger

Among the true oxymorons posted, DG's "discard treasure" is one of my favorites, but I'm the only one who has upvoted it.  Treasure is also a verb, you guys.

Discard is a noun, too. A discard treasure could mean something you really value but threw away. Kinda.

The point is that edge cases aren't usually relevant by definition.

Most of the edge cases described in this forum are extremely contrived and rarely found in normal play. Heron is making fun of this... feature... by drawing your attention to the fact that we have to point out when an edge case is actually relevant. Some members found the level of self-awareness funny enough to upvote heron's post.

Of course, there are edge cases to everything I just described, but they are probably not relevant to my point, nor your enjoyment of the joke, which I just increased for you and everybody else for that matter.

Technically, you could (EDIT: not) upgrade spoils into:

Super-Duper-Mega-Cool Planet of Doomy Doom Death
113$
--
Worth 741 VP

(Disclaimer: theoretical maximum, I haven't checked the viability of pulling it off in a single turn)

How is that the maximum?  I can only see KC + Bridge * 10 + Highway * 10 + Princess = $43.  If it was an action, you could also get ten Quarries to make it $63, but it's not an action (I think).  You can't use the Procession-Rogue/Graverobber trick here because Processioning a Bridge makes it cost $2.
