Thoughts?
I voted No on Stir Crazy and The Promise since they're not nearly as prevalent as I'd expect for a card to be put in the HoF.
I understand Phil's logic. It's hard to vote for a card you haven't seen in awhile. I take the entire history of 2E into my decision. To use wresting language only Nathan will get, I ask myself, "Did this card ever have a run at the top?"
Meaning, if a card on a ballot ever had a period of time where it saw a great deal of play, then I'm voting for it. Past or Present. I'm judging the 'career' of a card.
Now it's too late to lobby Nathan, I was hoping he'd wait until I was out of the Penalty Box (I went in after Allen, does that mean he went into nothingness?), but he submitted his ballot. But since I've been chomping at the bit to answer him, I can't stop now:
Chula: The Chandra - This dilemma has seen non-stop play during the CC-era. It even saw more play once The Game came out. I was converted to Nate's "Missions First" thinking last year, but I think dilemmas are the priority in HoF. This is a game about facing dilemmas after all. Problem is, I think it's the card type we're most hesitant to vote Yes for. We think,
'shit... I use that dilemma and it works... I think I'll keep that one.' Don't lie, it's in your dirty little heart... I know because it's in mine as well.
The Promise - In the early days this was one of the best cheaters in the game. Klingon was a decent solver. They lost that flavor, save Sword decks played up North, after Krudge Denial decks ran Tier-1 for way too long.
Stir Crazy- It was the card that invented dilemma choke, no? This is another Yes if you were around in the early days.
Unexpected Difficulties - Scary to vote Yes, isn't it? Don't be afraid...
Hiren, Romulan Praetor - Last year P&P and GUYS were nominated. Almost all the ballots voted Yes for one and No for the other, cancelling each other out. Made no sense to me choosing between them. Either way you voted, that means you have to vote Yes for Hiren, right?
Par Lenor - I think the Berlin Wall incident should make him a lock.
Rom, Professional Soldier - Not as much of a lock as Par Lanor, but there hasn't been a Ferengi deck without him since he came out. He just won Worlds 2017. Pretty solid resume.

that the naysayers will show up for some productive debate. After all that faceless "California campaigning" from behind a screen it'd be a shame to not answer the bell.
