Writer's Block: Back to School

[Error: unknown template qotd]Reading the "view answers" page for this is as predictable is at is boring.

"OMG! I want to go to HOGWARTS or SUNNYDALE HIGH because it would be all special and magickal and I wouldn't just be some extra who gets killed by Death Eaters or vampires at all!"

I was happy going to high school where I went. I had a pretty great HS experience. I don't think I need to muck it up by going to a new one infested with monsters.

You missed the high school from Twilight.

If I could be guaranteed surviving, I would go to Sunnydale. But that is because I am a Buffy nerd.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

It would be hard on the eyes going to Twilight High. Everything has a blue filter over it.

[tempest-azure.livejournal.com]

But Edward is there *swoon--gag*

Sunnydale High is a BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

Speaking of big holes in the ground, I had this weird dream last night that I was playing Doomtown. It was some kind of Blackjack/Sweetrock hybrid deck that was really amazing. Of course, none of the cards actually existed so that might be why it was so amazing. Perhaps we need to get together and play soon or something.

I'm down! Let me know! (I've also bought some of Samurai Edition recently, Fortunes help me.)

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

Any new and exciting rules changes to SE? I'd heard that Winds were a bygone concept so how does the Favor work now?

[kakita-shisumo.livejournal.com]

Not really. The dueling rules are still the biggest weirdness for me, but that changed back with Lotus. Favor usage is pretty much back to what it was when the game began, though you can't rehonor people with it anymore, and drawing a card requires you to discard a card as well as give up the Favor. (Sending someone home with it doesn't bow them either, but that's been the case for awhile.)

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

Any new game mechanics? Any that have gone by the wayside, other than the ones were already being phased out in Lotus? (Naval, Yu, etc.) I'm still trying to decide how I feel about the new card faces.

[kakita-shisumo.livejournal.com]

Naval is still around, actually, and has been made easier to use but harder to gain an advantage from. You can now declare a naval invasion if you have even one more naval card than your opponent - no longer are entirely naval armies required - but, while you do get the first action as the attacker, that action has to be performed by a naval card in your army. So nothing out of your hand, and most of your OMG HUGE ranged attacks are on non-naval Tsuruchi. Oh, and Ranged Attacks no longer require you to bow as their default, but they also don't seem to be combinable any more.

I hear the 'kensai' trait will let you attach two weapons as of the next expansion, but I've not seen a rulebook to confirm that.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

That's kinda cool, and it makes sense. I think they introduced the Ranged attack change while I was still in, toward the end. Yay! Spearmen suck less now!

I heard that Terrains might be going away. Any truth to that?

[kakita-shisumo.livejournal.com]

Nope. They're still here, though they can take effect immediately now, rather than waiting until a separate "Terrain Resolution" step in combat. Formations are gone, but that's not exactly surprising - they were an awkward fit in the first place, I think.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I remember formations leaving. They were a nice idea, but not practical in the long run.

I wouldn't want to go when Harry was there, but I chose Hogwarts. Harry is lame. lol

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

I would take Harry's place so I could have a shot with Ginny Weasley! :P

[ravenbrenna.livejournal.com]

Meh. Ginny is okay. But I would totally go to hogwart's so I could get with Fred and George. :D

[rustie25.livejournal.com]

I love the Weasley twins....

[ravenbrenna.livejournal.com]

ME TOO! lol. Obviously. *clings to them cause I loves them*

[batchix.livejournal.com]

My high school WAS infested with monsters of the diet coke buying bitches type. if I could go back I'd want to do home school.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

Or at least go back and make them perish in a screaming huddle of blood and tank tops!

[redstar826.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm in the "there is no way in hell I want to go back to high school!" camp.

[fadedsecret.livejournal.com]

I'd go to Hogwarts *is lame and follows lame trend* But I'd be forever trying to get Remus and Sirius together, and trying to make out with Lucius.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

If Remus and Sirius need lube tell them to see me in the Room of Requirement. It'll be stocked with the stuff for my date with Ginny >:)

[fadedsecret.livejournal.com]

lol! If I were going to do one of the girls, I'd be Hermione. <3

And if I were going to do one of the teachers, it'd be Snape.

And if I were going to do a magical creature, it's be Firenze. Yeah. Hung like a horse.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

That would be one heck of a foursome. Might have to call in German pornmakers for this one.

I put those people in the same category as the SCA wonks who think it'd be good to go back to live in the Dark Ages because they're SURE they will be reincarnated as the .005% of the population that is royalty and lives a good life, and not everyone else who has the life expectancy of a lizard.

I would go to West Beverly High School, from the original 90210. The campus is all outside, the guys were hot, and they never had to go to class! Plus obviously I would be rich. Andrea and I could hang out and be nerds together. It would Rock! Also, the high school kids were all in their 20's!
