The Gaming Den

This actually is an ad hominem, by the way. It's important to point these things out, because so often people claim that things are ad hominems when they are really insults . It is an attack on your credibility. Because you are not credible. You also haven't offered a logical argument, all you have...

Igor Bezler: We have just shot down a plane. Group Minera. It fell down beyond Yenakievo [...] “Major”: These are Chernukhin folks shot down the plane. From the Chernukhin check point. Those cossacks who are based in Chernukhino. “Greek”: Yes, Major. I would call a guy specifying the group responsi...

Why is the DC Cha based for a fighter? Maybe the tragic fighter has a decent Charisma and that's the reason. Nah, I'm not sandbagging that hard. I was offered an artifact sword if I played a fighter, so I'm playing a fighter. Granted I have a higher Cha than average because our group allows 14 in e...

And then talked about how Dota, not LC, but Dota itself was badly designed. You also have to prove that. No I fucking didn't. Watch. So Dota has shitty champ design. A bold campaign to assert that words do not in fact mean what they say has been started today by Kaelik. Also I was talking with some...

That wooshing sound everyone just heard was the subtext flying over Kaelik's head. Yes Kaelik, the ability is never fair in practice, that is kinda the point, but the debuff is the same for both participants so the fight is "fair". I'm just going to leave these two sentences because the f...

Except that Legion Commander duels force both people to fight each other without the benefit of many items and passives, evoking the idea of a "fair" fight. So you smoke crack? You are right, nothing says "fair fight" like declaring that the Rapier and Claymore fighter are going...

For starters, Bioware had actual game designers

Fixed.

Maybe he just like big boats, and he cannot lie.

1) Dota II has a fucking identical matchmaking system to LoL, probably because it directly copied LoL. Since dota explicitly isn't using Elo it is not the same. So Dota has shitty champ design. Okay. Let me explain, that "Duel" where they auto attack? That is not a Duel, that is a taunt. ...

Moba fighting? Let's fucking do it . The thing is, all your complaints are refuted with "that is all old shit and none of it is true anymore except for Flash, which the game is balanced around now for better or for worse." Thought maybe you were being satirical about PL's complaints? I wa...

DotA is more user-friendly than LoL? You are insane. This is a game with global, auto-targeting executes (no warning), teleports that cancel if you click ANYWHERE on the map, couriers that can be killed, and no going to base to heal. DotA is legendary for having terrible user interactions and the d...

Do you guys play separate solo games, online or in person? Do you take turns, or just do time really carefully? I'm curious as to how this game is running --- cause it sounds totally awesome from my perspective. Well, we mostly run the games in 2-3 turn chunks and then halt when we end up with some...

And this is everything after. Saul has little to show for his march so he takes his army and heads for home before worse happens, perhaps rightly thinking that he is no match for the kytons. At this point some asshole Urgathoa herald shows up with a magic lamp that causes a foul miasma to begin spre...

This post is everything that happened before my PC shows up. The first session (Which I was not present at) involved the escape of the Lich King Saul (Lich Sorcerer 8 [Green Dragon Bloodline]) from a prison plane called the fugue dimension. Saul broke out with a crazy Urgathoa murderpriest who promp...

So, Avoraciopoctules is running a MTP heavy game about building nations/acquiring territory and power set in a game world that uses the Aran map from Dominions 3/4 as it's strategic layer. Most provinces have a couple of things in them that would be of interest to the PCs. Right now we have two acti...

Well shit, I staled that turn and have no one to blame but myself. Unfortunately, this was an absolutely critical turn for me and I suspect that my position is damaged beyond repair. I'd ask for a rollback, but I don't know if it would work across two forums.

Hey guys, I'm a bit busy at the moment so I extended the turn sorry for the delay.

Argalath is his pretender. The full name is Arglath the Underwhelming.

Two Banelord with high def, quickness, and two duskdaggers would work. For anti-SC work you want two weapons not a weapon and a shield. Axe of Hate has on hit fatigue so bringing one or two along is a pretty decent idea. Mind hunt with penetration boosters could work given the somewhat low MR. You w...

I delayed hosting because my dom3 computer has a hardware issue, which will with any luck be resolved this afternoon. Sorry for the inconvenience all.

Archers set on attack closest, oy. Also, Iron Darts isn't as effective as I'd remembered. I could've sworn it was +3/lvl not merely +1/lvl. Ah well.

I think that is Iron Blizzard that is +3 per level.

1 minute posts I can do. I have limited access to the Dom3 computer and am dealing with the end of the quarter. I had a 10 page paper due at 2:00 today and finished it at 1:58. Go ahead and let me stale, or find a substitute player. If I stale, I'll get back to the game when finals are over and see...

I'm not a big fan of marignon infantry or cavalry, greatsword wielders and men-at-arms have their place, but mapmove one really holds them back. And as I have already said the cavalry is more expensive than I can justify with no lance charge. You should probably just test to see if the productivity...

Drago: Your build is fine, you will want to be aggressive with it. As far as Evo goes, look to get fireball and then get phoenix power and then get falling fires. Earth access isn't that bad, you have to eat an empowerment, but you can get bloodstones and boots off of that, which will get you as man...

Well my point was more that having hidden in sand cast in an out of the way province is the default.

Mari can't make Jade knives out the box though, so if you're going this way you'll probably need to kidnap some druid and feed him blood slaves (not that hard). I did this in revenge of the den, but you could take a pretender with B4 N4 E4 W2 (gets 2 types of gem gens, blood boosters, much more sol...
