You are confusing Magic with all the rest. Looney Tunes had a CCG. It was glorified war. Pokemon had a CCG. It’s best known card went for $3k at its prime. It goes for, probably 3 bucks now. Magic, on the other hand, Black Lotus, goes for $1,8 - $2k on a regular basis. ---

Leone has even gone on record with this. They happen at different times, with different characters, and not in chronological order. Also, “The Man with No Name” is not one man, and each has a name. Eastwood’s roles represented the archetype of the strong, silent, ne’er-do-well hero prevalent in Kurosawa’s works, from which Leone borrowed heavily (or blatanly ripped off in the case of the first movie). It only became a trilogy of “The Man With No Name” due to the marketing department at United Artists. [/QUOTE] ---

> [@CatInASuit](#): > > Good luck Meeko They told me, that “down the line” the “best I can do is 10-12 hours”. I simply said in response “It’s a lot better than what I have now”. ☹ But, then again, if you talk about hours to someone, that means you have a good chance, right? But, I also felt this way three weeks ago, when another job asked me if I had transportation. And to think, I went to College for an hourly job. [Then again, at least a LOT of people are in the same boat I am in – underemployed. So, again, not the life I wanted, but hey, it’s a life.] And watch me Die in game now. That would just seal the deal. ---

\*\*In the early morning, the townspeople began to amble their way out of their homes to start the day. They wondered if they had killed the right person and also wondered if any more of them died in the Night. “Oh……ewww!!!” cried out some one. It sounded like someone was vomiting inside the saloon. The townspeople entered the saloon, even those who would not normally go there. They heard that the vomiting was coming from the kitchen area in the back. When they entered, one townsperson was crying and the rest of the town saw some of what had made her vomit. “Look inside the barrel,” cried the crying townswoman. An individual’s torso and head were inside a barrel labeled: DOOM. And the individual’s legs were on the outside. There were splashes around the barrel that made it look like he had been repeatedly dunked in an out of the barrel of DOOM. The barrel also contained many straight razors, some with weights tied to them to make them float deeper in the barrel of DOOM. It was quite clear that when the individual had been dunked in and out of the barrel of DOOM, and that he had been repeatedly slashed by the straight razors with each dip. “The DOOM must have really hurt when it entered his new wounds with each dip,” stated one townsperson.” Floating next to the townsperson in the barrel was a piece of leather, which had something stamped into it. It appeared to be another note. It said: 50% “What is that supposed to mean?” asked one individual. No one answered. When they pulled the body out of the DOOM barrel, they were able to see who it was. It was NatLaw. He still had a look of fear, despite being soaked in DOOM. The townspeople left the saloon and entered the main street. Suddenly, two ghosts appeared before them. Oddly enough, no one was even surprised anymore. The first ghost was clearly Storyteller, whom the town had killed yesterDay. Storyteller chuckled and said, “You lucky fools! You think killing me, an ordinary Crimson Thorn, will hurt us that much? You are wrong!” \*\* Storyteller, who was an ordinary Crimson Thorn, is 100% dead.\*\* NatLaw, who had tears in his eyes, said, “You poor people. I don’t have anything to say. I was just an ordinary townsperson and now I am dead. Oh, you will have to be creative, by the way.” NatLaw, who was an ordinary townsperson, is 100% dead. NatLaw disappeared. Just as he did, Storyteller said one more thing. “I choose NatLaw,” stated Storyteller. And then he disappeared. It is now Day Four. Day Four will end on Friday, August 28 at Noon Eastern. \*\* ---

I’m betting that we have 50% as many Thorns out there now. By my math, and given what VERY little I know about Mafia setup,\*\* this suggests to me that we have 2 more Scum to go. \*\* That is, we started at 4, and we have lynched 2. 50% of that would be 2 left. 4 would not be out of place for a number of scum in this game, would it? [Then again, 3 scum did us in last time… so…] ---

So, we have another no kill. At this point I think we have the best doctor in history. I slept with NAF last night since he used his power during the Day and I think we need to start confirming people. I’m not at work this week so I’m going to be bit less chatty but I should still be around plenty. ---
