So what's the C19 preview date? I'm assuming Maro did actually announce it last night?

Btw, why is it that only few board users are using the thank option?
I'm using it very pro-actively, especially when i feel like i can't contribute a useful reply, yet want to aknowledge a post/thought.
I'd be glad to see the same from everyone else, as it would diminish the feeling of shouting into the abyss at times. But with the visibility of thanks given i'm more under the impression it's used just as scarcely as it was on Sally.

It's definitely already used more than it ever was on Sally. On Sally, it was really only ever used for mega-resource threads.
I think it's something that will come online more over time, and I do like that it's not overly spammed. If it gets used too much, I feel it loses its meaning.

I use it on every one of my posts, because I'm worth it.
I've actually found I use it more here than I did on Sally.

I've done a few thanks for people.
Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

I figure it's because on mtgsally it's something you "like", while here you're saying "thank you". To some people (many?), these are different meanings and that can lead to less use because of how we perceive it naturally. i.e. I can like something I might not thank you for, or I can thank you for something I may not like.NoNeedToBragoBoutIt wrote: ↑4 years agoBtw, why is it that only few board users are using the thank option?

I don't think about it.
I'm happy to make otherwise useless posts expressing agreement or to just not respond to things too.

Hey guys, help me out with a matter of flavor in a D&D game I'm playing. See, my character is a brooding, jaded, snarky private detective, who is prone to monologues that are meant as a parody of the film noir genre. Now, if such a guy had to be portrayed in terms of Mtg mana, what color would he be? He is of lawful alignment, so I was considering Orzhov, white for lawful and black for cynical. Thoughts?

I concur, to me it's either Orzhov for the specific alignment to law that guild has or Esper for the reasons above.cryogen wrote: ↑4 years agoEsper.

Cynical/Snark could also be Red. Which can align well with the chaotic fisticuffs that occur periodically.
Esper is easier to explain though. Probably the best fit.

Esper also gets the logic and investigation part of a PI in there better than the other colors. I'm guessing there's some actual investigative ability, not just brooding snark.

Agreed on Esper colors. If he's an alcoholic investigator then Grixis could be a fun way to represent his alcoholism since he loses his cool when jonesing.

I never got into these. I tried the first and it was just a bit too cute for me. Sort of read like a Sookie Stackhouse novel, which isn't the worst thing ever, but I found it a little disappointing. Maybe they get better though. For now Joe Abercrombie is my jam, on the last book of the First Law trilogy at present.bobthefunny wrote: ↑4 years agohttp://epicstream.com/news/JakeVyper/Dr ... -is-Coming

A friend of mine let me borrow his recurring Nightmare playmat so I can use it in a game with Sheldon at gencon. He also wants to get it signed by all four members of the rules committee.

They are definitely a bit more out there. They seem to start within a constraint of rules and set up an interesting kind of fantasy detective genre... but then the author lets you know that this is still absolutely light hearted and not to be taken seriously, and shatters whatever suspense of disbelief you have. But it all ends up in good fun.toctheyounger wrote: ↑4 years agoI never got into these. I tried the first and it was just a bit too cute for me.

Any specific books of his to recommend? I'd be willing to try one.

This is the first series I've read of Abercrombie's. The first is called 'The Blade Itself'. They're great books and really well written, but it is definitely grimdark fantasy, so reasonably violent and dark. Still funny though, strangely enough. Definitely worth a look if you haven't read him so far.
