Title: A LOT is missing this time
Post by: TwiNight on October 21, 2012, 12:56:41 am
The complete list is 26 cards, plus 3 honorable mentions

Thief
Saboteur
Outpost
Herbalist

If there is no or little progress in 2 days, I'll give a hint

I have a vague idea.  Would Watchtower, Spy, Alchemist, and Scheme count, for example?

None of those are correct. :(

Here comes the hint:
City             
Hunting Party
Beggar       
Black Market
are on the list

And you guys can choose your next hint:
1. All the missing cards in the base set and Intrigue
2. A hint on the criteria itself
3. One of the honorable mentions

EDIT: btw, feel free to post thoughts even if you don't have a solid idea

One of them is an honorable mention, but none on the list

Post by: TwiNight on October 25, 2012, 12:18:59 pm
Jester!
No

And, as no one choose the hint, I will just choose one myself ;D
Torturer is an honarable mention

Same 3 choices for next hint

Has to be Haven then

Post by: TwiNight on October 27, 2012, 06:08:04 pm

No.

Hint: The criteria only has to do with the description of the card. Nothing related to the name, type, expansion, cost, whatever

Same 3 choices for next hint

Is beggar's inclusion based on its reaction or its on-play?

Reaction

This one is really bugging me for some reason. The big thing I can't figure out is what quality Herbalist has that puts it on the list but excludes Scheme.

Cards that "net" a change in progression through the cycling of your deck?  Since Scheme offsets its topdeck with +1 card, but Herbalist does not.  Maybe something along those lines.

Read #16.And that "whatever" includes card mechanic

Now I'm really confused... You say it has to do with the description of each card, but not the mechanic? What does "description" mean then? I assumed that it meant the text in the card's instructions, which is the mechanic. Do you mean the card image?

I'm with GendoIkari on that count.

Post by: Ozle on October 29, 2012, 02:00:10 pm
I would say description means the answer would have been on the actual texts. 'number of lines'. 'mentions numbers',
Whereas mechanics is what it does 'makes you draw a card', reduces cost'
Title: Re: A LOT is missing this time
Post by: sparky5856 on October 29, 2012, 04:40:53 pm
I would have a hunch if it weren't for the fact that Minion isn't on the list and Torturer is only an honorable mention.

You got it, sir

Fishing Village?

No.

New hint (actually, getting tired of choosing it myself): Tournament is another honorable mention

So.... at this point we might just need an answer... or at least a much bigger hint...

Lighthouse?

OK, here is the big hint:
Thief is the only one in its set, so as Saboteur
and
Over half of them are from Dark Ages
