    If I absolutely HAD to go off grid, I could.

    I've done it before, I can do it again.

    The biggest problem is getting back ON the grid afterwards. Employers want to know why you have a three year gap in employment, and filing for back years of taxes is a bitch.

    Well, if you made $0 you don't have to file. You could always just say a family emergency came up. But if this was "holy shit the US is collapsing and Wally world runs the show" I don't think I'd care why I had a 3 year gap in my employment history.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    Oh I'm not calling him out on it. It's pretty unlikely he knows the Wild Cards series since it's pretty obscure. I just wanted him to relax about it because it's almost impossible to come up with a completely orginal character. Which doesn't have to be a bad things. Small twists on a character let you tell different stories. There are Captain Marvel stories you can tell that you can't really tell with Superman.

    all of my rage at board games is fake rage

    like i'll be all MOTHER FUCKER YOU BASTARD

    but that's just me kidding around, i'm a loud and animated dude

    if i'm not having a good time because one or more people are being dinguses to me i make it pretty clear

    and really that's the only time i get annoyed

    if it's shit luck or bad dice rolls or i just got totally played by some mad strats

    i don't bitch

    if it's someone being a cockfuck for baloney reasons, i talk to them about it seriously

    Last time we played TI, we played with the objective cards revealed (you still have your secret objectives, though). It made the game a lot better, we feel. Cut down on the play time a bit, too, since there were things to work toward that everyone was aware of, rather than only finding out ways to get points after many turns.

    There are an ample number of magic and occult based heroes. Wonder Woman is the most famous. But there are tons of them. And given that there is a virus green lantern, I'm sure a zombie virus could be made to work with the right backstory. The right backstory would be key.

    I did not know Wonder Woman was magic.

    just read about the virus green lantern here

    I'm sorry, but that is some retarded bullshittery happening right there.

    The virus Green Lantern comes from an issue of Tales of the Green Lantern that Alan Moore wrote. It's actually really good and he is far from the strangest Green Lantern. There is one that is a mathematical concept.

    yeah that's what we're doing next time.

    picking the strategy card that normally lets you flip an objective still gives you the power to claim two objectives in a round, which is still a pretty big benefit

    as much as I'm for interesting characters and whatnot I do find stuff like that rather annoying.

    because it goes too far and breaks any amount of suspension of disbelief I can muster.

    A virus just doesn't not have the real estate to fit in everything required for intelligent thought.

    also I REALLY recommend the new TI3 expansion, Shards of the Throne

    especially the diplomats feature, which actually makes the diplomacy phase more fun and interesting

    Except it really does work. That whole story is told from the perspective of a rookie Green Lantern and it's simply part of a larger whole.

    Sure but not hygienic in the least. I've seen some weird ass shit happen with urine that is not from a healthy person. I've seen it caustically react with the bowl if left there long enough. Like... like someone had taken sand paper to it or something.
