[Type4] Discussion of the Day 13 Feb 2005

I'm not talking FoF, GtR, or Kai. I mean obscure ones that you just kind of came up with and stuck. We used to, but started drifting away from it, mainly because most of the cards we had "good" nicknames for eventually got cut. A few straightfoward ones I remember are Avatar of Woe being Joey Lawrence (Woah!), Staff of Domination=the Magic Stick and Silklash Spider was The Punisher. Slightly goofier ones were making the crazy "The Ring" noise for Aladdin's Ring (Before you die, you see the RING...K-ch-ch-ch) and singing the hook of that awful Dave Matthew song for Gravedigger, which evolved into singing it for every other card it would fit with (such as Bone Shredder). Panacea became Panaca and then Captain Panaka due to a misreading. There used to be an interesting roar that followed Cromat. Aggravated Assault is The Escalator because we use an Italian version which is something like Escalate di Violencia. One day, BrassMan called Morphs Gorphs instead, and it just stuck. Nezumi Graverobber was the Shifty Rat for while because we couldn't remember the real name.

I think that was just about all of them, but most of those are retired (and retarded). Care to share any of your own?

I always call Bosh Bash, or something like that. We have a few other, but nothing really weird or w/e.

[Klep]

Gang-Bang Commander
Smmemnarch, obviously
Aven Cheatshaper
Church (my Clone, drawn on by Doug)
Brass Man Call (my Eladamri's Call, drawn on by Brass Man)

There's probably a couple others I can't remember at the moment.

Rudy: sure we do!

Disco Bomb (for discombobulate)
Tower of Life / Cards (for tower of eons / fortunes)
Holy Stick (for holistic wisdom)
Masticaster (for any creature with the masticore ability)

There's bound to be more.

Know what? I'ma make a pile, too. I don't own many of the bomb rares but I'm sure I can make an interesting pile out of some decent commons/uncommons. Like budget T4, really. The oerall power level would be lower (and I'm a bit concerned about the lack of mass removal) but I think I can whip up something nice nonetheless.

That Which Was Useless for That Which Was Taken.

We also use Bash and SMmemnarch.

We make laser noises whenever using a Masticore effect or Legacy Weapon.

Bringer of the Red Dawn is Bringer of the Big Target.

Flash of Insight is Cheat, as is the Planar Portal I cut from my stack.

Chaos Orb is "Rob's Orb" because he's the only person in the group that can use it well.
