if you want to specify a thing that is from another thing, but that thing is not a person, can you still use "whose"? f.e, is "a lake whose water..." correct? sounds wrong.

bump. this was an actual question

I don't think "whose" sounds wrong. You could also try "with", or go full awkward and say "a lake that contains water (that/which/whatever ....)"

I would use whose. Anthropomorphization ftw

Also, I assume that "f.e." stands for for "for example," but it's not an acronym I've seen anyone else use. "e.g." is the standard in English AFAIK (short for Latin Exempli Gratia)

orly? i use it all the time. but i've never seen anyone else using it, now that i think about it. thanks, that's probably a good thing to stop doing.

okay, i consider myself lynched. with 4 it's almost guaranteed to happen.

you might still win without me.

But you'd like to never make it out? Granted I could do better in Middle School as an adult, but I wouldn't want to be there and I'd have to hang out with middle schoolers and forever is a long time.

I'd like to relive the entire thing, yes. and it's not about grades, it's about interaction with classmates. if i could do everything again, knowing everything i know now, it would be the best thing ever. I don't think I can really explain why I'd like it so much.

Oh I know you don't mean the grades. I just meant would you really want to have to be a middle schooler for the rest of your life? I corrupted it so you just "groundhogs dayed" middle school forever. I totally understand the desire to fix all of the social catastrophes perpetrated by one's middle school self though.

oh, oups. i didn't read that part. yea, that would be less great. though I might still do it, if it comes with immortality?

well you already voted for me several times, it's still two votes. if three more decide to make the same mistake, town loses one more member.

you could also be a scum who just wants to get rid of me. but i doubt it. you strike me more as misinformed.

I wish that I was allowed to corrupt other people's wishes without having to make wishes of my own to be corrupted.

granted, but you have to wish "i wish that others can corrupt my wishes again" before you can do your first non-corrupt wish.

I want the ability to go back to a certain point in my life and relive it from there, keeping all memories I've obtained up until now.

Granted, but that time is middle school and you have to live it over and over again. (Are middle school and its horrors a thing in other countries?)

you just fulfilled one of my biggest wishes

and yea it was pretty bad, but that's exactly why I want to go back there, I could do it so much better now.

also, you need to wish something too.

I wish that I would play better in gokodom/dominion league

Granted, but

I wish I had more time for the things I like to do.

granted, but the things you like to do most is now losing against me in dominion

I want the ability to go back to a certain point in my life and relive it from there, keeping all memories I've obtained up until now.

Goko Dominion Online / Re: f.ds platform for scheduling goko games

« on: July 18, 2014, 05:38:13 pm »

based on the amount of response i'll consider this idea a dead end. oh well. nothing lost.

I'm not sure I get it. I put when I'll be playing on this calendar? But I just log in randomly now as then. And you totally can play the same person more than once.

well that was the question, do people see a big advantage in a system like this. i mean, sure you already play several games now and then, but you also (or at least i) put up with uneven "one-shot" games pretty regularly.

Yeah, this is my thought as well. Actually, since you return bomb 1 before you gain bomb 2, I don't think you can even gain bomb 2 at all. I don't think you can gain something that isn't on top of the pile.

oh yea, i didnt consider that you return it before gaining

at this point, voting for me is a clearer indicator for being scum than anything else, since i'm obviously town. only scum would want to vote for me.

I would have shot tonight. (it is BM after all)

But you all killed me.

Are you guys going to lynch anyone else?  you better hurry up.  I know you have it in you to get that last lynch of the day.

well if i try any harder to make people lynch liop, I'll only be suspected of being scum. But if i end up being lynched, we have 2 less town members... I could just go with majority and vote arch, but if he's town, it'll be just as bad as getting lynched myself.

Granted, but you'll never play Dominion anymore.

So mean.

I wish I could gain some Dominion expansions for free.

Granted, but you have to pay for several bridges first.

I wish I'm never on the wrong end of a Torturer chain again.

the receiving end is the right end for you

i wish i had godlike powers and could do almost anything i want

are you really asking a complete noobie for game advice?

well if you only take in maths, killing someone directly is equal to a successful lynch, and again something you probably want to do. so you should do it whenever you could.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Signet

« on: July 18, 2014, 04:27:37 pm »

yea, I think you're right about both points. so the fixed version should probably be:

Signet - Treasure - Reaction - 2$
Worth 2$
---
Whenever you gain a card, you may reveal this from your hand. If you did, or if you have it in play, set aside the gained card and discard it after the next time you shuffle your deck.

you could also do "after your next shuffle", but that seems less clean

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Signet

« on: July 18, 2014, 04:15:22 pm »

The wording on the current version means that you have no choice but to set gained cards aside while Signet is in play.

that's intentional, otherwise it would be strictly better than silver

Also, it would be better if it actually said "in play" rather than "in your play area".

if it's "in play", it also triggers if an opponent has it in play. for example, if you buy a IGG with a signet, the curse i get will be set aside.

Fair point on the first thing; didn't notice it cost $2.

I think the second point is wrong.  It specifically says "when you gain a card", which should only apply to whomever has it in play, not to opponents.

if it's below a horizontal line it's a general rule, so I think it applies to everyone at all times.

Bomb
Action - $2
If there is a higher numbered bomb in the supply, return this to the supply and then gain the next highest numbered bomb. Otherwise, trash this and a card from your hand.
---
All cards in the Bomb pile should be in numerical order with the lowest numbered bomb on top. This is Bomb number X [1-10]

It's a pretty decent card overall. Takes a little while for you to arm your bombs, but eventually they go boom and you can start deck thinning with them. And we all know deck thinning is a powerful mechanic, and getting 1 card out of your deck for only $2 is really a steal. If multiple people (or heck just one person) is trying to blow their bombs up at once, you all get a bonus out of it. Think of it like an escalating thermonuclear war: The only winning move is to play.

I am not sure if the fact that the number of the bomb does nothing is intentional or not.   

It isn't. I'm a little rusty on esoteric rules edge cases here, but I assume it's because I didn't specify to look through the pile?

it does matter, but it doesn't quite work like you planed. when you buy bomb 1 and use it to gain bomb 2, bomb 1 is now at the top of the pile. I don't think you can gain bomb 3 now, but I'm not sure whether it is in the supply. it probably is, which would cause you to return bomb 1 without getting anything.
