this is like a week old but
this bothers me. if someone misses a trigger and i'm spectating, shouldn't i point out that they've dropped the ball?

moreover, why is it judge policy to let missed mandatory triggers go uncommented? isn't that some form of GRV? talk to me about this. for example, if someone on 2 life misses 2 butterblossom triggers in their upkeep, wouldn't a real person point out they're deceased?

>>48450931
>if someone on 2 life misses 2 butterblossom triggers in their upkeep, wouldn't a real person point out they're deceased?

Well, if you think they're cheating then you should probably get a judge.

Anyways, the story of how we got to the current trigger policy is somewhat complicated and I'll leave that to gA.

>>48450931
>Shouldn't I point out
No, you shouldn't. You shouldn't ever "point out" what someone has done wrong in a game, because it's not your job to fix it. If something actually illegal has happened (someone put a 5/5 in the bin after a Languish, someone crossed out 15 and wrote 12 after not blocking a 2/2, etc), as a spectator the ONLY thing you should do is say "Stop, something is wrong. I need to get a Judge." Trying to point out the error for a 'simple fix' is tempting, but a nonzero number of players in history have turned 'sloppy play' into advantageous cheats, and also the 'fix' may be more complex than you think. It's admirable to want to help, but that's why I'm being paid; it's not your problem.

As for triggers specifically, you shouldn't even step in to say something is wrong (unless you think a player is missing their triggers on purpose). Let's compare it to one of the 'illegal' things up above. Both players are responsible for making sure the game is played in a legal manner, for things like "Doom Blade your Dark Confidant", so that's why it's okay for you to interrupt to get a judge, and why it's okay for me to intervene if I see it while Judging. But only one player is responsible for triggers: the player who controls them. If you're playing a game and your opponent whiffs on a trigger, you are 100% allowed to keep your mouth shut and let him miss it. How much would it suck if some random passerby were allowed to remind him of his bad play and he still gets his trigger?

For your Bitterblossom thing: you still shouldn't say "Hey, you missed those triggers". If you think they're missing them on purpose, you can stop the match and go get a Judge to explain what happened, but you shouldn't interfere beyond that. Let me investigate to see if it was a brain fart (which may kill him anyway if his opponent notices that he missed them, since the opponent can make him UN-miss them), or a DQable offense.

Amy's dancing with Razor Feathers, of all people, and it looks like the ruler of the Roost may be threatening to have a good time. The nobles, wealthy merchants, and officers invited to the ball seem nervous about the harpies in attendance - many took Henrietta's general invitation to Glen at face value, as she meant them to - but one brave young man taps Amy on the shoulder and asks if he might steal her dance partner. Your lover lets Feathers go with a broad smile and wishes them a pleasant dance.

"What do you think, Nate?" Brianna murmurs into your ear as the two of you dance close. "Start making friends now?"

"This is nice," you admit. "It's not often we get to just relax and talk..."

"It's not often that a Princess has her eye on us either," Brianna points out. You look over your shoulder and see her; Princess Amalie is a tall young woman, maybe your age or a few years older, with her black hair back in a loose ponytail and an interested expression. She notices you looking and raises her wineglass to you before saying something to a man that approaches her.

"What do you think?" you ask Bri.

"I think she knows damn well that Ettie invited us and she wants to know who these crazy adventurers are at the ball," Brianna answers, wryly.

> Keep dancing; you want to talk to Bri
> Meet with the merchants. They might be more useful than the nobles and easier to get along with.
> Maybe it's time you met the rulers of the kingdom that raised you after all
> Fuck it, let's see what Amalie is like

Lords of the Wild/Night doesn't turn you into an NPC and take forever-and-a-half to advance through.

As in, a situation in which this could happen?

I don't know, a curse I guess?

How might the character react to this?
How might his companions?
How might citizens who bear witness?
How might those of his holy order?

Daggers and staves are the standard for a reason. Casters are usually implied to spend their time investment studying spells, letting their melee capability slip. running out of spells means something has gone massively wrong, and a stick isn't going to be enough to fix it.

Having said that, a handgun / crossbow depending on the setting probably makes for a good fallback. It doesn't force the caster into physical conflict where they probably suck, and could allow for a dominant position even as a backup tool.

I'm more thinking about things that are cool visually than particularly effective. It should be worse than a dedicated martials melee, of course, but it should have some pizzazz to it.

Also setting agnostic, just looking for ideas.

The official forums have really shit mods, especially Bull, who will flip his shit if he thinks you're disagreeing with him, badmouthing CGL, or mentioning offhand that time that he got his job by being the keyboard warrior covering up the embezzlement.

Shadowrunners are anti-corporation liberalcucks so all I have to do is shout out "Vote Crooked Hesaby!" while asserting that I identify as a pangender demisexual otherkin who deserves to be placed in a safe space outside the corp.

The troll will look confused and ask me to elaborate, but I don't want to debate, I just want to talk about my pain. I'll light up a cancerstick and keep the trogcuck talking until the Knight Errant heavies arrive. Then it's an easy matter to pull a bit of overtime for Papa Renraku - if I'm working a 16 hour shift already, what's another couple of hours? - and get my workload for the day finished.

>>48460054
>How can you get out of this without seriously disrupting your workflow?
Stand up and politely but firmly inform these hooligans that their behavior contravenes corporate behavior standards, that their dress is frankly beyond the pale, and smoking on company property is strictly forbidden. I'm sure we're all reasonable people, and that these shadowrunner types will understand and leave post-haste.

Lord almighty no.

AoS is actually farther from 40k than Warhammer Fantasy was.

Lorewise.

The old WH:FB had small things dropped throughout that implied they could exist in the same universe. Orcs arriving on space ships, Sigmar arriving on a comet or some such, and of course the Old Ones existing in both settings as pretty much the same race. But the End Times basically stamped that whole thing out by saying the entire universe was devoured by Chaos, and that the AoS universe is multiverse where space is filled with ether and a lot of worlds are actually just flat.

Some blackshields are more than likely former traitors I'm sure

>>48454127

>>48454127
It's a lot harder because Chaos actually begins to control your brain. There have been cases of loyalists/traitors being civil with one and other. That one time when Iron Hands and Imperial Fists briefly called a truce is a notable one.

SAMMY!

You run games? I thought much like me you didn't actually do that.

Around her on horse, armoured for battle, were her generals.

Solid and hefty William Bures, Constable of Jerusalem, old grey Pons of Tripoli, dependable Hugh of Jaffa, the bulbous Count of Foix, ancient Pagan of Oultrejordan, owl-eyed Gerard Grenier, Lord of Sidon, Raymond du Puy and Archemboud, lords of the temple orders, and least in standing but first in her army, the young Lord of Ramla, Wilhelm.

They stood beneath the True Cross, the ornate standard of Christ that contained a shard of his execution.

The only sound betrayed beyond the loose of the trebuchet was the snorts and snuffs of their horses, the drawn sniff of Count Pons, a cough from Hugh of Jaffa. None of the high lords spoke, they waited upon Melisende's word.

She raised a gloved hand, lowered it to point at the distant walls. A horn sounded its harsh bleat.

The assault had begun.

pretty much all of this. They made Arthas so OP that the only way he could be taken out was by him going completely retarded, AND Tirion pulling an insta-kill out of his ass. If he'd just killed Tirion instead of freezing him, he would have won and Scourged everything
