More Student Wars v2 CCG

You can download the cards here.

Worked some more on Alliances today. Yearbook got a couple interesting cards that let you basically treat the top card of your discard pile as in-play (attacking it, spotting it, whatever). All the keyword-based sub-factions got a helpful Persist Event that will make building decks based around them easier. Also dealt another blow against attackers with new “characters may not be damaged” powers and cards.

Did some general cleaning up so that cards are slightly less cluttered… mainly eliminated the across-the-board sub-faction abilities and stuck them on one character each instead. Still looking for ways to clean up cards further. Using symbols for some common terms and actions isn’t out of the question, but I have to be sure to not overdo it like my last attempt.

Also generally did some strengthening of GPA. I’m not sure if it’s enough.

If anyone has time and would like to playtest, I would be eternally grateful. The game needs a lot of testing and balancing (the Humanities faction, in particular).

McCain WTF

Posted on by

I have no idea what to even say to this

Cindy McCain lashed out at Barack Obama Tuesday [saying] the Illinois senator has waged the “dirtiest campaign in American history.”

It’s frightening if she actually believes that.

Edit: Just to make clear… I don’t believe Obama’s campaign is clean, I just believe that McCain has run a far, far dirtier campaign (and this is yet another example of it). Obama’s campaign didn’t throw me into an introverted depression for 3 days, thankyouverymuch.

Edit edit: The fact checks are telling. On the first page, all of the McCain criticisms that I saw were either True or True (but incomplete), compared to all of the Obama criticisms which were either Misleading or False. Seriously, who’s running the dirtier campaign?

Interestingness

Today was the Folsom Street Fair and it was rather interesting. Lots of nakedness, lots of tied up people, lots of leather.

I’ve been making tasty foods lately. Yesterday and today were avocado-and-egg wraps for lunch and sausage-and-broccoli pasta for dinner. Also been eating lots of oranges and pears. Om nom nom nom.

Yeah. I probably won’t be posting pictures from today for fear of violating my webhost’s terms of service, but you’re welcome to ask me for some.

McCain fail

McCain, WTF is wrong with you?

Stop playing politics. Seriously. Stop.
You were losing ground in the polls because you fail at handling the economy, and you decide that pulling something like this is the best way to make you seem like you’re on top of the situation.
Thank god Obama is calling you out on your shenanigans.

Between this, your outright lies in your ads, and your dirty campaign, I have lost all respect for you and what you stand for. You used to be the politician I respected the most… always spoke his mind, stood for his beliefs and what was right, and never yielded. Now you’re worse than Bush.

Now I hope to god that the nation isn’t so blinded that they won’t see this blatant political move for what it is.

Also, good job Congress for not passing Bush’s irresponsible bailout bill. Now find a way to fix it.

Edit: I see what ur doin thar.
If it’s really so important that you don’t debate this Friday, why didn’t you suggest that the VP debate take place this Friday instead and the debate between you and Obama take place when the VP debate was scheduled for? After all, it’s not like Palin has to be back in Congress for photo ops to politically benefit from fix the economic mess despite not being on the committee in charge of negotiating the bailout.

Edit edit:

Mr. Letterman told his audience that Senator McCain had called him directly on short notice Wednesday, to tell him he had to cancel his appearance.
…
Mr. Letterman said Mr. McCain had said the economy was “about to crater” which necessitated that he get to Washington right away.

[Mr. Letterman’s] critique reached a high point when he learned that at the very moment Mr. McCain was supposed to be on the couch next to him being interviewed, the senator was at the CBS News center three blocks away in Manhattan, getting ready to be interviewed by the CBS News anchor, Katie Couric.

Um…
I am so incredibly disgusted right now.
