Since Sage skips over cheaper cards, this seems to fit thematically to me. And it can be the butt of jokes. I'll start:
Sage skips Chapel - they know there is no God.
Sage skips Fool's Gold - they're not fooled.
Sage skips Poor House - the intellectual elite can't be bothered with the needs of the poor.
-
Sage skips Hamlet for the same reason as poor house.
Sages like driving - if you have enough highways, the sage will just keep going!
-
Sage skips Duchess -- no time for shenanigans when you've got books to read.
Sage skips Copper -- he's not in it for the money, the work is its own reward.
-
Sage skips Duchess -- no time for shenanigans when you've got books to read.
But they'll certainly stop for a Harem.

Well, yeah, I mean, there's shenanigans, and then there's Cinemax Late Night.

Herbalists shouldn't ignore sage
Sage is a herb...

The Sage doesn't like having to stop for directions - that acknowledges ignorance.

Then why do they stop for Navigators and Cartographers? Just to lecture them?

The Sage likes having the Princess around - it keeps him from being stopped by Militia and Bureaucrats.

Did I mention gay?
-
A Sage normally stops for a Fortune Teller, unless they're on a Bridge or Highway (or a Quarry in a Black Market). A Fortune Teller at any of those locations would just be creepy.
-
Caution: Derp, not joke, just very-depressing mind-canon.
At the start, Sage will normally stop by to chat with most as he walks among the Shelters on paths of Copper. Soon, however, he must be off on his travels. After passing along Bridges and Highways, Sage has seen more of the world, no longer has time for idle chit-chat, not even with those whom he would stop by so often before.
He forgets the Horse Traders and the Trusty Steed that he won at the Tournament. He was once good at jousting to say the least, but that was in a former life, when he was little more than an Apprentice himself. Now he just keeps revisiting the same Province to relive those memories.
-
Sage skips Native Village, due to self-preservation instinct. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_apiana#Uses)
-
They avoid Apothecaries for the same reason?
-
Sage skips Vagrants and Beggars; he is above their kind.
Sage skips Mercernary; violence is for the uneducated.
-
Sage will stuck in a tunnel
But when he takes the highway, he can get through and even finds gold there!

Sage skips embargo and won't skip merchant ship. He doesn't like when merchant ship leave the harbor.
Sage skips transmute. Not a serious science for him.
Sage skips vineyard. He is not alcoholic.
-
Sage doesn't put his trust in scrying pool to see the future. Oracles always tell the truth.
Sage knows how to play checkers : forget about your pawns to save your knights and bishops !
Someone jealous of sage became saboteur, to kill all his disciples, and the sage too !
-
Sage skips Chapels, but stop for Bishops and Cultists
-
Sage knows how to play checkers : forget about your pawns to save your knights and bishops !
I think you mean chess.
-

I think you mean chess.
Also, he skips Trusty Steed because he knows it's really hard to checkmate with a single horse but a whole bunch of them can do wonders, so he stops at the Stables and Horse traders.
-
Sage will stop for every Urchin in the street, but once they've grown up, they're no longer his concern.
-
/necro
Sage has his own strategy when playing chess--he skips over the Pawns and goes straight for Bishops, Knights, and Kings (courts).
-
Sage skips Princesses and Duchesses, but stops for Princes and Dukes.
-
While knowing how to stay shy of a Poor House and ignore the obvious Beggars, his abstract wisdom is no match for the street smarts of a Swindler.
-
Sage skips courtyards, he does not like Mariott.
-
Sage skips herbalist; he does not want to be captured and mixed into a medicine.
-
Sage skips herbalist; he does not want to be captured and mixed into a medicine.
He also doesn't want to get involved in fanfiction...
(He didn't realize the Alchemist's part in it, though, for some reason.)
-
Sage skips Princesses and Duchesses, but stops for Princes and Dukes.
Sage knows how his bread is buttered.
-
Sage won't settle for an Estate. He is fond of Duchies and Islands, but he's oddly content with sleeping in the Tunnels. Maybe it's really quiet there.
-
Sage can't tell the difference between Mine and Mint, either. And he's a goddamned sage!
-
Sage scoffs at the Candlestick Maker and tells him not to bother him until he's crafted a Masterpiece.
-
Sage is mostly gay, but he's straight for Baker, Explorer, and Forge. He pretends that the Dames are men, though, and won't flirt with them unless they're wearing armor.
-
Sage and Wandering Minstrel seem to... find each other... a lot......
-
Sage won't touch Spoils, but he's got nothing against Ill-Gotten Gains. Some subtle distinction is at play, I think.
-
Sage isn't against religion exactly. He just insists on going straight to the Bishop whenever he has an issue worthy of his attention.
-
Sage has his opinions about construction, prefering wood(cutter) and iron(works) over stone(mason).
-
C-c-c-combo breaker!
-
C-c-c-combo breaker!
Sage skips over all of my jokes except for the ones about Mine/Mint.
-
Sage will not quest to save the Princess; he does not have time for silly adventures.
-
Sage will, however, stop and pay homage to the Prince.
-
Sage stops at the Bank for a Loan, because he can never seem to find his Coppers.
-
As wise as he may be, the Sage can never find the Cellar... I wouldn't bother asking him to look for a Secret Chamber.
-
Sage couldn't find his keys. Guess they must cost less than $3.
-
Sage couldn't find his keys. Guess they must cost less than $3.
He later replaced them with expensive $3 keys, but he literally found *everything else* worth $3 or more before he found the damned keys...
-
Sage stops for a Scout. Why? WHYYYYYYY?
Sage is actually Jon Snow?!?
-
Sage is an elitist. He will stop for an unpopular Peddler, but not if 2 other people have already visited the Peddler this turn.

peddler only decreases in price during the buy phase.

Not sure if the new expansion has me more excited about more cards, or more opportunities for Sage jokes.
-

At least Sage will be able to buy the new expansion. They usually cost around $40.
-

At least Sage will be able to buy the new expansion. They usually cost around $40.
But at 500 cards, each card only costs $0.08. So he can buy the expansion, but will not pick up any individual cards in it.

You seem to be saying the same thing as Marcory, not lio.

The joke is that you're not playing many Sages after Peddler's cost has been reduced. Therefore your Sages don't stop for Peddlers, for Provinces or anything.

Is that the joke? Then why specify two people visiting Peddler? Rather, Marcory's joke seemed to assume that the cost reduction occurred in the action phase. Thus, if you play 3 Sages in a row, the first two can find Peddler but the third would skip it. Your comment seemed to be saying the same thing.

Sage won't stop for anything
for anything
for anything
Why specify two people? Because Marcory specified two people.
-
Just saying, it was unclear to me, and probably also unclear to those who +1'd lio instead of you. Your statement implied that Sage was being played, i.e. still in the action phase.
-
Well, this joke died horribly.
-
Sage is into shady dealings. He will take no part in any Embargo. To the contrary, he is quick to help himself to the latest Contraband or Ill Gotten Gains, and he is known to visit the Goons who hang out at the Black Market.
-
Well, this joke died horribly.
You can't blame it, stopping at the death cart like it did.
-
Sage and Patrician's love affair was not meant to be.
-
Sage doesn't find the Necro.
But necro finds the Sage jokes.
-
Sage doesn't find the Necro.

I would've made the joke sooner if it were possible.
-
Did Sage pick up the Groundskeeper, or the Groundskeeper pick up Sage?
-
Sage doesn't find the Necro.
But necro finds the Sage jokes.
You wouldn't have to necro if you could sage on bulletin boards though.
-
The Sage is wise and usually avoids debt, but he can't help but pursue a Fortune.
-
Mine/Mint, Sage, and Game of Thrones in the same RBCI, and no upvotes! Tough room.
Grand Maester
Action/Reserve
Cost: $5
Put this on your Tavern mat. Gain a Sage from the Sage pile. You may play a Sage from your hand.
----------------
When you play a Sage, you may Call this. If you do, choose one: Mine costs $2 this turn, or Mint costs $2 this turn. The other costs $5.
You may not Call more than one Grand Maester in a turn. Once you have Called a Grand Maester, Mine and Mint are immune to further cost alterations for the rest of the turn.
Setup: Add the Sage pile to the sideboard. Mine and Mint supply piles must be included in the game, replacing other Kingdom piles if necessary.

Sage stops for Patrol. "This is an illegal arrest, officer, I protest!"

Nobody laughed at my Sage/Groundskeeper joke. It was the best in the world. For all intents and purposes, this thread is SAGE
...
Come on, that was a good joke.

I don't really get what Groundskeeper in particular has to do with it. Also, I'm still upset that Grand Maester didn't get upvotes.

Either Sage the man picks up Groundskeeper the chick, or Groundskeeper the groundskeeper picks up Sage the spice. It was perfect, and nobody cared.

I probably would've understood it more easily with Herbalist. Curiously, neither of them cares for the other much. I guess that's a joke?

You're the pun master. You're supposed to get these kinds of things. I'd bench you for Colin Kaepernick, but this isn't football. Plus, Sage would skip Kaepernick anyways.

Shoot. I picked the image because Pawn was kneeling and cost $2. I'm not calling Kaepernick a Pawn. :P

Do I really do that many puns? I thought I did... other stuff? I don't know. I'm really proud of the time I came up with Sift Lord, though. Probably one of my Top 10 moments in my whole life generally speaking. Maybe I shouldn't have said that last thing out loud.
-
Sage is really classist, like a bad AirBNB host. They will hang out with almost any random Traveller, but not Peasant and Page.
