GUESS WHAT MONTH IT IS

Probably what *this* should be called.

You don't need to make it a GG style bot trap where you have to post to get out of it, you can just make the top subforum on the boards the bot trap so bots post in it by default
Maybe do a food forum thing where anyone can edit the bot's posts so its not like, you and doug doing the work to take the bitcoin viruses out of their posts

It is very strange that they always post there

It's not strange, they're just posting on the first place they come across to post in. If you made the bot trap be at the top of the list of subforums they'd post there instead!

if this doesn't work i can put it on top of it's your turn in general topics

now as for what to do with robot posting posting for robots; who should be in charge of it, i could make it like the food forum and give moderation permissions to everyone, but then maybe it wouldn't be a fun place to post after that novelty wore off, but then but then, who would be posting there anyway

also something interesting is that we could make it password protected and then just see if the bots posted in there or not, if they could figure it out, or if they'd get an error and then not post at all, or if they'd just then move onto it's your turn. unfortunately (fortunately?) we're not getting a steady stream of them so it's not super testable

Hey my dudes, my 8 is suddenly crazy for his Pokémon cards again, & is actively building decks & sussing out the sneaky rules interactions. It's a bit random, but where is a good place to pick up singles online? We've been sporadically picking up boosters & whatever he scams off his less-savvy mates at school, but now I realise we do not have all the Eeveelutions, & I feel empty inside. Also there is playable Vileplume my Oddish deck needs.

Bring on the kung-fu amputees - no arms vs. no legs anyone? A bit of high-speed underground ninja-tunneling is always good as well. I wanna see some shit like that. Crazy monks with gnarly special powers can make any film good. FACT.

A cursory look tells me that stage 2s are way stronger than when I last checked in 1998.

Yeah, I have the entire WotC print run, as I worked in a comic shop at the time & ran the weekend Pokémon league... most of it is unplayable at today's numbers.

Yeah. They've reprinted a few thing, like Riptide Feraligator, with more HP & a cheaper, harder-hitting attack. Which is weird. That was like *the* combo deck back in the day, & now the main guy is more powerful?? Wild.

i just remember thinking Dark Charizard

was pretty badass, even though I knew it probably wasn't actually very good

i have the pokemon tcg game boy game, and I have it saved to some awful opponent so that if i feel like it i can turn it on and just obliterate that sucker with the original charizard card

He's almost playable! There is now a fire energy that re-attaches itself if a fire pokemon's attack discards it :omg:
