    Beyond Balderdash: Results of Question 7

    What is Chills Wills notable for? [list=1] He invented the process of crystalizing water now used in making popsicles (Apollo's guess) He was the voice of the movie star donkey "Francis the talking mule" (correct answer) He was a famous jazz conductor during the "Big Band" era (TomB's guess) He...

    Pledge of Allegiance, what gives?

    Saw in the Baltimore Sun from a couple of days ago that now the guy is trying to get references of God removed from the president's inaugural (or whatever it is in January) address, since Bush had a prayer last January in his.

    RPG...Chapter 4

    "Since the original 'body' was found at the docks, perhaps there's a ship that arrived recently that could give a clue. Galdan, do you know of any such ship that arrived or left around the time the body appeared?"

    Isn't the only difference that the restricted list in 1 is the banned list in 1.5? So really, all that's gone are the cheapo mana acceleration artifacts, cheapo taking an extra turn, cheapo drawing cards, and stuff that's lets you reuse the cheapo stuff :) I guess I don't really have a leg to...

    Subterfuge; Post revision cards

    No, the sacrifice of the Strip Mine is part of the cost, so it goes into your graveyard first. Then you can use Red Spider before Strip Mine resolves, putting a land in your opponent's graveyard. It was a "timing trick" used with Land Tax...

    When I say "compete", I mean "win" too. As in #1. :) "Local" Type 1 tournaments might not have such a problem if no one has the broken cards and might resemble 1.5 affairs. Although of course, if one person in the area DOES acquire them somehow, it might tip the field. On the other hand, if...

    Game from the 80's?

    I don't think MECC would have made this game; I have no idea if it was actually "sold" as I had a pirated copy at the time. BigBlue, what you describe sounds like Ikiri Warriors... got that game :)

    See, that's the problem. Players would have to get rid of the whole mindset of "it's been printed, therefore I have the right to use it" and instead just embrace the idea of taking another turn, or putting out a 0 artifact for mana. rakso (I think) believes that you can play Type 1...

    Author Search Disparity

    I can change it, although it would be easier to take out the alias and keep the real name. For your stuff, since you submitted a lot of stuff already, it would be easier also if you just keep it the way you've been doing it and adding the alias at the end.

    Baldurs Gate help

    For armor class (AC), the lower the number, the better. Even into the negatives. Commander Brage is actually northwest of Nashkel, although I can't remember which area exactly. Just work your way north and west. There's a girl in the same area who's looking for her cat...

    Rosewater's Article

    I guess I am and maybe that's the more viable format. I mean, the reason why cards are on the banned/restricted list is because they unbalance the game. Everyone likes cheap and "broken" cards but it's probably more healthy in the long run just to recognize that the early days of Magic was...

    Did Maro bust mtg.com?

    You gotta remember it's worth only what other people think it is (well, and scarcity). I think the same thing of people collecting baseball cards, stamps, or Beanie Babies :)

    Free Beer!!!

    There's some IRC channels that have people looking for games; what they are, I don't know. You might want to check E-League and see what they have; they run lots of Apprentice tournaments.

    New forum request?

    It was pretty much dead so Ed killed it during the reorganization.

    Also not being an expert (and not having seen what rakso has to say about it), I think it also makes sense, including the reason for the proxies (although since those sets are out of print, most people acquiring those cards are probably from other players). Here's an interesting question (to me...
