Board Business / What the Flash-mc-Mob was that ?
« on: May 10, 2021, 05:14:52 PM »
Saturnday night into Sunday morning , 2 minutes of 2 a.m.
Bartender says :  "Last call.  For alky-haul."

Suddenly, twice the # of people who've ever been on bg / mmx , go :
"Hey, let's do a flashmob."

My kitty avatar is either confused or suffering flashbacks.

Haaaa.
The multiverse's most dangerous children are at it again.
Yunru knows his stuff, that's probably fine.
Class abilities better be life saving, or you'll be hearing it from the other over-deity.
How does a flying snake know about the Dragon Below?


My niece has a hospital play set ; and Santa Claus was visiting.
I said :  Oh it's just a check-up.  Anybody who can run 100 000 marathons in one night is in tip top shape.

I've mentioned 3rd party votes before.

This go round, the LIbertarians were shorn of the Paleos for Trump, and the Pragmatists for Biden.  That consistent 1 to 1.2% around the country, really made a difference.  The Libertarian vote was bigger (!) than the margin between the #1 and #2 vote getters in :  Arizona , Nevada , Wisconsin , Pennsylvania , and Georgia , and also the N Carolina senate race and the Georgia Perdue-Ossoff race.   Noticable effect.

Oooo , and don't forget real Dog Sledding to get some Alaska votes all the way in.


altP doesn't live in Wyoming ... (thinks)  < this looks like Gollum trying to answer Bilbo's riddles >

The trigger the majors (including fox) used, was PA going above the automatic recount < 0.5% margin.  Lo and behold, that was a tranche from Allegheny County --- also known as the altP infinity value vote deciding the whole entire election.  WooHoo c.o. will really be famous now.


Ahh Keldar, never underestimate the delicious shadenfreude of drip drip water torture on the losers (in this particular case the target was also the most drip tortured, making it all the more delicious) < and vice versa on previous and future votes > .

Robby and Strat, yeah the expatriot votes and the military votes, used to take pony + boat rides.

My original ballot never showed.  My post office district got a temporary on-time rating of 61%.  It's possible my ballot was returned to the local election office, despite the normal you have to deliver mail to that mail's address thingy // totally illegal oopsy-whoopsy.

Ahh but what's his face told cutie Anakin we shall be patient.

538 issued a very soft call on Nevada around 12:30pm BUT usually they back that up with real #'s. 

Georgia looks much more close than anyone imagined. (obviously I boo-boo-ed twice above)
Both Senate races are under 50% and will go to a run off ; minor Libertarian true believer spoilers going on.
Here's someone doing an exceptionally granular county count (site generally left)  but these #'s are spot on.

In case you missed it ...
(because you've got a job , family , life , etc.)

The Nebraska odd singleton 1 electoral vote, got called way late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.  It's a smidge complicated for normal news to explain in soundbyte time frame.
Fox News called Arizona before anyone else.  Trump threw a fit, multiple witnesses + sources.  The AP has since called it too, but most of the other majors have not.
Fox joined the others in calling Wisconsin.
And Fox called Michigan at the same time as the other majors, even though the AP didn't call it right away.

That puts Biden at 270 ... and so says Fox.
--- edit --- put sloppily,  IF Biden also wins Nevada THEN the 270 happens.
Nevada said they'll be done tomorrow early.
Pennsylvania is counting mail ins for at least 2 more days.
Biden is favored in both.
Georgia and North Carolina are still counting and while they're very close, Trump will probably keep those.
--- edit --- looks like both Georgia and NC are done counting = ~Trump wins those.

It's all over except the shouting and lawsuits.  Lots of shouting.
Whew.

I voted BUT hoo buddie it was tricky.

I voted in the primary by mail, and helped gramma + grandpa do the same.  There was a check box to receive the application for mail ballot for the general.  We each checked that.  The signature they had on file for me, was from when I was 17 years old = I haven't signed like that in a long time.  I crossed my fingers and waited.  The county commish went on tv to say all ballots were counted.  Bullet dodged.

Our applications never got sent.  Grandpa got grumpy and called.  Oops we'll send those.  Got applications late.  Filled immediately.  I hand deliver all 3.   State vote dashboard says they got them, and processed them same day.  And sent ballots on 10/3.  Gramma + Grandpa got theirs a week later.  Mine no showed.  Deadline approached.  I called party HQ but I didn't qualify for easy access place.  I called county elections, they said wait.  I said I'd been waiting.  They said wait more anyway.  I waited and called again.  Oops come on in and get new ballot, we'll void the other one.  Round in circles.  I get ballot on last day possible for vote by mail, and vote on the spot.  Couldn't expose gramma + grandpa, so I had to jump through the flaming hoops. 

I've never had a problem voting before.  Never.  Voided ballot isn't expected to show on Monday.  It seems to have evaporated.  Ahh the magic of voting.

Enworld has a screenshot of 2 powers ... uh whatever they're calling them.
The spell is a cross between Shocking Grasp and a 1 round Slow.
< has a 4thE feel to it ; if that could be said + received without grist/angst >
The cantrip is more likely to hit than most cantrips, and the rider might compete with advantage most of the time.
< too early for a verdict ; I wanna see a serious maths hammer on it first ; flavor is good regardless >

Wake the puppy !!
WAKE.  THE.  PUPPY.

Hey.
Small thing :  back in Junior High, I was in a sports club gaming thing.  Video games for people without opposable thumbs I guess.  Anyway, most of the dudes would never be able to balance a checkbook ... BUT ... they could handle the d66 counting with 2 d6s.  I was surprised for more than 1 session.

So I think the dice should work even with younger kids ( uh Pokethulhu for 200 wink? ).

belated Hugs upthread , even an extra page back

Rant -- that there's not enough ranting ...

Pre-emptive hugs downthread ; recognizing the Doctrine of Pre-emptive Hugs, is quite rather disputed (i.e. I don't consent to be hugged before knowing I need to be hugged either --- not that anyone can hug my kitty avatar's Tail anyway).


Hey  :fu hug you, you nasty mutha-hugger.

So how much of this works with your "Not And Say We Did" recommendations for PF Cavalier, Oracle and Paladin?

... or say a 3.5 Paladin with some pieces of PF mashup.

While it's likely difficult to ever be able to use the class...
There are two aspects of Maho-Tsukai that I've long overlooked and originally misinterpreted in my mind, a recent revisit had me realize...
1. It actually has the Wizard and not the Sorcerer progression for spell level known. This might be interesting for Ultimate Magus on the spontaneous side.
2. Conversion allows one to dip into about as many spellcasting classes as one desires, and then upon Conversion the spellcasting list remains available for spells known. Similar usefulness of Generic Spellcaster for particular PrCs such as War Weaver.
3. Conversion converts the level of spellcasting, and is not a replacement of the spellcasting class. By doubling up on spellcasting levels with Mystic Theurge, early entry, nets 9th level spells at 11th level.

Sweeeeeet.
googles
hmm ... I could see a singular class be counted, but can't see that as the Only possible answer.
Big thread decent arguments, similar direction :
