« on: July 24, 2014, 11:34:20 am »Ooooh I know, change it to "when you discard this card, Trash it". That way you can be Prince of Bombs and play it every turn~! (I think.. you can choose "Set Aside" from Prince to happen before Trashing, right?)
Or how about Time Bomb. Does something nominal. When you discard it, trash your discard pile.

There once was a bug catcher who was determined on catching an igly worm. So one day, when he had researched them far enough to know how to fulfill his wish, he went outside and caught one. He put it inside a small glass jar, and in the evening he put the jar on his bedside table and fell asleep happily. When he woke up the next day it was gone. He really wanted to catch an igly worm though, so he went out again and caught another one. He put it in a small glass jar, put that jar into a bigger jar and pasted it up carefully. He fell as asleep happily that day, but when he woke up at the next morning, the igly worm was gone again. He really, really needed to catch one though, so he went out and caught another one. He put it inside a small glass jar and put the jar into a large, iron safe. Then he went to the bathroom. But when he tried to wash his hands, what came out of the spigot?
Water.
Water.

Trash a Bomb from your hand or reveal a hand without a Bomb and gain a bomb.
Bomb (Action) - This card is not in the supply
Trash a card from your hand
When this card is trashed, return it to the pile and +3 Cards and trash any number of cards from your hand.
okay, let's see. a copper at play and you gain a bomb. If they collide you gain the effect of 2 labs, a chapel, and a peddler. pretty sure that's too strong, because even though you need to build a lot to make it work, the payoff is just so good, and neither card is dead if they don't collide.
but something with this concept could probably work. it's not a terrible idea.

Right, I just remembered why I didn't do this in the first place. I didn't want people to be able to run out the Redistrict pile by Redistricting Coppers into Redistricts. Maybe it's not so bad, though. Probably I should test it this way.
so, you redistrict a copper. now you can either gain nothing, or trash the redistrict and gain another redistrict. both doesn't get you anything except that there'll be ones less redistrict in the supply with option 2. but i doubt that using a terminal trasher without any benefit on a copper is ever attractive enough for people to do this just to drive down one pile. I don't think it's going to be a problem at all.

maybe being familiar with other disney movies makes you unrealistic expectations on the new one. i haven't seen any disney movies before, but i'll explain why I thought frozen was great. The first third was pretty much worldbuilding of the the most cliché possible setup you can have, but instead of continuing in the same style, the movie then showed that it was aware of all the tropes it has used and was making fun of them in a very subtle way, with the "you're marrying someone you just met" and also the entire character of olaf. and in the showdown, instead of using the love on first sight, it completely skips any romance. it's basically a fairly smart story build into a cliché setup. I'd even say that it parodies overused characters, because the actual dialoges in the middle part were pretty sharp.
and in the end they do have a romance scene, which kind of weakened the message, but i understand why they put it in.
i thought all this was obvious, but judging from the movie sin counter video...

i thought the movie was really good. kind of cliché, a little bit silly, but very self aware and very fun and cute. you could argue that it could have been avoided if characters were smarter, but it's not really the point of the movie to be super intelligent with a tight narrative. it was good for what it was.

I'm having trouble understanding how the original wording isn't clear.
it means the first gained card. buh?
well, you can always do
oh and this should work too:

People were having trouble getting what "the first gained card" meant.

trash a card from your hand. choose one: gain a card costing exactly 1$ more than the trashed card; or trash this and gain a card costing exactly 1$ more than it, and a card costing exactly 2$ more than it, in either order
oh and this should work too:

trash a card from your hand. gain a card costing exactly 1$ more than it.that's closer to the original wording, and probably a little bit shorter than the choose wording. you could also replace the last "it" with "the trashed card", to make it completely clear.
You may trash this. if you do, also gain a card costing exactly 2$ more than it.

« on: July 22, 2014, 09:53:08 am »me too. i don't think rebuild is a good idea in most engines that beat rebuild, so you do ignore it completely.your missing my point. Yeah, theres lots of stuff thats faster than rebuild, but Im talking about cases where you can ignore rebuild completely.Like...are you asking if its viable to completely ignore Rebuild here? My answer is an emphatic "no". Id say in 95% of Rebuild kingdoms this will be the case.
no... this doesn't sound right. more like 80%. there is a bunch of stuff that's faster than rebuild, you just have to stay calm and accept that you'll be drastically behind in points for most of the time.
