tedxtr wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 3:15 am so punish the fool seems like a pretty punishing ability for our team.

the best we can probably do is to make scum play whack-a-mole. we all need mana for something...

fix suggestion : everyone should ask for the mana they need (and that's it - just ask for the mana, don't say what it's for or that it needs priority, etc etc), irregardless of how good or bad their ability is.

loop holes : the mafia will target strong people this way, so we're a bit forced to spread the cards to someone they don't need dead. (PoEish targets that can reasonably be town)

my instinct is to say that 3 mana is a bit tough to gather? so let's not try to get caught up in an ability that takes quite a bit to use anyway.

thoughts / concerns about this?

You could talk like this, for starters.

I noticed you're paying particular attention to responses to your town core post. Is there a reason you didn't mention I also ignored it?

Nicol Bolas wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 9:39 pm I can't say I'm fond of the card I was given. It feels almost like a cruel joke. My alignment isn't to my preference either; having to work with the rest of town sounds beneath my dignity. I'll try regardless, though, I'm still here to crush my enemies

This already is more reads than I expected from Wilgy, and I don't like the departure from his typical behavior.

Everyone should probably say which mana types they can benefit from, unless we think scum has some kind of "targeted removal" which will hurt us for saying our colors. Which I doubt

I, for one, would like to know what the ability is, and why I should spend my colorless mana on yours over others.


I'm assuming everyone got at least 1 colorless mana land?

I didn't ask for Mana. I was simply explaining something. I also will likely not be fully claiming at any point this day

Well, maybe you're not directly asking, but you're like that friend when you go out to the bar, talking about how expensive drinks are, and money's tight, but you're having a great time! and it's been so long since we've hung out, and can you believe cover? wow, these drinks are pricey, awe man really? are you sure? thanks man, I love you, I miss you, we need to hang out more often

Then you're reading the intention of my posts incorrectly.

Wouldn't be the first time, tho it's the 1st time with you!


Can you clarify your intention then plz?

I am literally incapable of using my ability without people giving me a reasonably specific kind of mana. I don't want to ask for mana from people; assigning people to give mana is bad because of the Mafia artifact mentioned. Because of that, my primary purpose is giving out mana, which I have specifically 3 colorless of. I wanted people to be aware that I both need a specific mana, and give a specific mana. This means, imo, we to some extent need to understand *how* to give out our mana. I want to know that, because I will be giving mana

Which on that note, I want to say:

Everyone who can keep their mana and use it probably should

Everyone should probably say which mana types they can benefit from, unless we think scum has some kind of "targeted removal" which will hurt us for saying our colors. Which I doubt

I believe the OP said that there are no redirects. I bet they have the 3 artifacts and that's all.

The punish the fool artifact looks like it's only a good play if the wolves know who is likely to be receiving mana, if they use it on a player who is given 0, then 4 x 0 is 0 damage.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 2:01 am

and the reason to send someone mana is if you have reason to believe that they need more than they can personally produce?

Kylemii wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 2:04 am is there any reason to ever not tap a land?

Elaborations:

• Note that both this and the Wolf Pack are night actions, you can't use them during the day (you would have no mana to do that anyway)

• The purpose of this artifact is to prevent the town from breaking the game by making public plans on how to handle everyone's mana.

• Counter (as seen in this card) means roleblock or more specifically just "block". I won't be using the word roleblock anymore, its synonymous with "counter".

• Exiling a player removes them from the game and does not reveal their alignment (as if they were janitored)

• Which reminds me that upon death, players will flip their planeswalker, all of their land cards and all of the artifacts in their possession. The thing that they will not reveal is the state of their cards (tapped or untapped) as well as their current life total. More on the mechanics later.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 2:22 am so for example let's pretend i am *googles* uhhhhh Sorin, Lord of Innistrad, one of the hot vampires from MtG, and i have an ability that uses uh... .fuckin.... the spooky skull energy and whatever the red one is, and a kicker that requires some additional energy

if my lands are spooky skull place and red place, i wouldn't necessarily need to interact with the trading mechanic unless i want to use the kicker

Just call all colors by their color. That's their literal name

Blue
Black
White
Green
Red

Anyways, yes, you would be able to use the normal effect, but would need more mana to spend it on the additional effect of the kicker, if you wanted the kickers effect
