... 'Happy birthday to me". (33)



First of all, Happy Birthday, man! :D Glad that I could be of help to ya!

You're a teacher AND play Magic? We should talk sometime. While my interest in tournament Magic has long since passed, I still love the game, play, buy cards, etc. (If it wasn't for being in T1, I would have picked up my package of Khans of Tarkir rares/mythics from the post office yesterday afternoon LOL... gotta love eBay!) I'm actually very close to selling off my Vintage and Legacy cards, seeing as how I stand to make 1000% profit on my Revised duals and such. :D

I think Mobage "flavors" our episodes thusly:

1. Throw dart at big dartboard of episode titles, ignoring any previously done.

2. Go to tfwiki and search for the episode synopsis.

3. Reset dartboard with list of characters in the episode.

4. Throw six darts at that, rethrowing all doubles, making sure that you get four of one faction and two of the other. Flip a coin if it ends up three and three.

5. Unless there is a one-off character involved (automatically gets top spot), take the biggest toy and make him the top card for each faction (consult dartboard if all are the same size). For the bosses, arrange the rest by using the dartboard again.

I've compared the episode rosters to the TFL offerings in the past, and it seems that most of their choices are completely random. Guys with 30s of screen time are T1/top raiders. Don't believe me? Go back to the More than Meets the Eye episodes and TELL ME HOW MUCH SUNSTORM DID THAT EPISODE. I think it amounted to A FLYBY, and my man ACID STORM was the only one of the three Cybertron Seekers to have an actual reason to be there. Where was he in the episode? Oh yeah, fucking off in a corner. Trailbreaker had no reason to go to Cybertron with them other than to SAVE THEIR ASSES after Acid Storm showed up and did his thing. No one needed to save anyone from Sunstorm that episode.

(end rant lol)
