    My biggest problem with BSG is that you can know the game is lost but still have 90 minutes left to play.

    i feel like i ran a marathon

    well no i feel like someone who can run a marathon just ran a marathon

    i feel like i ran 3/4 of a mile
    That's what we call a 75er.

    gonna get a .75 sticker for my rear windshield

    make the . really really small

    I had no idea what those stickers meant, but now when I see one I feel nothing but derision.

    it is funny how mad people get about them

    i mean, if i could actually run 26.2 miles i'd be pretty stoked

    a little sticker on my windshield announcing it to the world is pretty harmless

    I guess for me I'd much rather you announce that you want gore/lieberman 2000 than you ran for some time. then again I hate "here are all the members of my family in a dumb way."

    I hate basically.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    also ppups i almost said Blood Rage but I think rotating card drafting is one of the worst mechanics you can put in a game and it kinda ruins it for me since it's such a huge part of it :(

    Why you not like

    Card drafting like that relies on making decisions when most of the information is hidden and involved a ton of random chance. You're basically making decisions semi-randomly, and it's worse the smaller the number of cards being drafted is because you'll get fewer rotations and thus less information

    It also forces you to learn all the cards before you can really play with any seriousness which is kind of annoying.

    hmmmm what is another way they could use to also customize your mans as the game progresses so you start the same vikings but end up different vikings from each other

    i like Kemet, which just has you buy abilities like that from a globally available supply, though it does add extra mechanics to the game

  • Hahnsoo1Hahnsoo1 Make Ready. We Hunt.Registered User, Moderator, Administrator admin
    I feel that drafting works best in games that allow you to set a strategy ahead of time and see your opponent's strategy as well, so you can start drafting cards that either support your strategy or draft to prevent your opponents from doing the same. You should be able to make decisions in your draft based on the information that you have available.

    Drafting is fast, and less random than just straight drawing cards out of a deck. It's not a bad mechanic for a card mechanic. Most mechanics with cards are going to involve a high amount of randomness.

    My impression is that the US JDM scene centres around importing engines and parts to build into US market cars, because it's difficult/impossible to import the actual cars (as would be done in the UK). Is that about right?

    There's also the whole RHD/LHD thing.

    sure, i think em was saying that he doesn't like high randomness mechanics and it's unfortunate that such a mechanic is as large a part of blood rage as it is.
