Quote from: arcee on July 11, 2016, 04:47:14 pmDo you give any thought to the alphabetic distribution of cards in sets? For example, Empires has 7 piles beginning with C, and 2/3 of its cards in the first half of the alphabet. Cornucopia has most of the set beginning with F and H.I do not give that any thought at all.

Admit it, you're ex-ist.
The best reason to lynch Haddock is the meltdown we get to witness on the wagon runup. I mean, we should totally wagon him every day just for the lulz.
So I taught this to someone recently who really loved it (and she's not a gamer). She wanted to know if there was a Dragon card or something similar. I said that you tend to keep it within reality and not fantasy, but she pointed out Witch. And then there's also Scrying Pool, Transmute, Transmogrify... a few things that are more fantasy than reality. So my question is, would Dragon be the type of thing that could exist on a card, or does that seem outside of the theme for you?

We are all Roadrunner7671.

Did you consider a card shaped thingy that was both an event and a landmark?
I thought you thought it was a slip because I said 'Jake's partners' instead of 'Roadrunner7671.'
how much was the starting deck with three estates influenced by the three estates
The question posed backwards ("how much was the choice of name for Estate influenced by the fact that there are three of them") would still hold some validity given your response but as estate as a plot of land and estate as a rank in society are completely different matters it would be a bad pun so I guess the answer would still be "zero".

A bad pun doesn't rule out a card name though; it's Baron because he's a real estate baron.

Witherweaver is a smart person.
pacovf has a neopets account. It has 999 hours logged. All his neopets are named "Jessica". I guess that must be his ex.
Also, Duchy must clearly be a foreshadowing of the eventual bad translation into the language of the Netherlands.
Arter Adventures, you made a promo event. Enpires is out now. Do you plan to follow a similar pattern and make a promo landmark?
