Indeed. The next and final wave will be going out within the next hour or two.

I would like to say "you're welcome" to my pod for getting all the good cards I passed... LOL!!! And also a "you're welcome" to anyone who plays me in the games, as they will be pretty easy wins for you...

I am a returning player to 2e, so I may have some questions as we play, so please have a little patience with me if you don't mind. I have been away from the game for a long time, and wanted to get my feet wet, problem is, no one told me I was diving into the deep end....

The junk was strong in that last wave. Just what we all wanted, more missions and events! :x

(Not intended at a shot at Daniel, more of the ID card pool in general. It could use some culling down of pointless verbs. :twocents: )

I will pass that along to the rest of the secret cabal who curates the IDIC draft pool. Also, Disaster? Really?

The potency of the dilemmas (and lack thereof) is a debate for a different day.

I am more focused on Disable Sensors, Heart of Glory, Cutting the Strings, etc. A 2+ cost verb that does not generate points has no business in the card pool. Period. In a format where you are racing to 2-missions, nobody is wasting a turn flying over to battle an opponent to get a couple kills. It is a game losing endeavor.

That said, some of these verbs are great and you should keep seeing them frequently (e.g. Astrolab, Quantum Slipstream Drive, Infinite Combinations, Endangered, etc.) But unfortunately verbs are coming up more than they should (in general) and several of them flat out suck. :twocents:

EDIT: This sounds like I am nerd raging. I can assure you all I am not. I just think we can continue to improve the pool, both for the new folks joining these events and us crusty old farts too!

I don't know who curates the Infinite Diversity cardpools, but I'd be willing to assist if needed. (Especially if I'm going to be running these on a regular basis.)

How is Pod Not-Mine going? Just about done yet?

Jules nearly had it in the bag. A lucky pair of things at the last minute allowed me to claim victory.
