I'm a real old fart here who hasn't played for a long time, could you explain to me why Green is the best of all of them?

At first glance, the only thing Green has over the others is better base strength/toughness for the same mana cost. Is that the only/real reason?

I can see the other four colors being played/utilized in devious ways, but Green looks so... straightforward, with no tricks.

Very easy to remove, and you have to wait a turn to get any benefit from it. No synergy, so it won't scale itself or anything else as the game progresses. If you're trying to get damage out quickly, you'd run the Red. If you want a big brute, you'd go with Blue since it's damage is tied to the game's length and flying is a much better evasion trait than pseudo-intimidate. White synergize with a summoning engine (White weenies ftw). Black is payable at instant speed so you can hold mana to prevent your opponent's moves.

Green sucks tbh.

Also to note, Conor has been acting out in general recently. He slapped a Bellator staff member and rushed the cage during a stoppage, and threatened and shoved the ref. That's an unaffiliated organization and his actions jeopardized the safety of the downed fighter in the ring as well as employees of the State's Athletic Commission. His behavior isn't staged, he's just losing his inhibitions with his success.

This is all just stunt to generate more interest in the UFC and McGregor. They want to take in more dough like they did on the Mayweather fight.

No, Dana White fucking hates this type of stuff. Dana's business motive is to frame these fighters as legitimate athletes like Lebron James and Tom Brady, not as aggressive, barely contained criminals. UFC surged from a cult following into mainstream sports culture on the back of respectable fighters like George St. Pierre, Anderson Silva, and BJ Penn that laid a foundation of legitimacy for the sport. Shit like this undoes it all.

Not to mention this is Connor's first upcoming fight after Dana let him spend a year and a half looking after his newborn son and then, instead of returning to defend his new Lightweight belt, opted to fight Mayweather. It's a slap in the face.

Lol @ gun nuts claiming the mosin nagant was banned by the assault weapon ban. Where do they make this shit up?

Nobody claimed the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban banned the Mosin. It's banned by the one currently being legislated by Congress, since that ban calls any firearm that is capable of taking a magazine over ten rounds an assault weapon. The Mosin fits that descriptor.

2. A "Large capacity ammunition feeding device" attached to a gun does not automatically make it an illegal gun--Only the "Large capacity ammunition feeding device" is illegal to own. A gun by virtue of being able to feed from an illegal feeding device alone does not make it illegal, a gun itself would only illegal if it meets the requirements of being an assault weapon as outlined prior.

Which one? I'm familiar with H.R. 5087, and it most certainly does not:

1. Ban the Mosin-Nagant by name.

2. Ban the Mosin-Nagant by magazine, since the ban prohibits magazines greater than 10 rounds and the Mosin-Nagant has a 5-round magazine.

Furthermore, the standard M1 Garand is specifically exempted as well, contrary to your claim.

https://www.howlingraven.com/Mosin-Nagant-Magazine-Extension-p/hrme.htm

That's a ten-round magazine for a Mosin Nagant. That means that the Mosin Nagant is capable of accepting a ten-round magazine. That means the Mosin Nagant is an assault weapon as defined by the currently-written assault weapons ban.

Also, the only Garands exempt are the ones specifically machined to only accept 8 rounds - ten round models are banned.

Are you done being intentionally obtuse yet?

I'm not being obtuse, you're being remarkably, consistently wrong about claims you are making. Like:

1. A "Large capacity ammunition feeding device" per the law is a device that allows MORE than ten rounds, not 10 or more.

2. A "Large capacity ammunition feeding device" attached to a gun does not automatically make it an illegal gun--Only the "Large capacity ammunition feeding device" is illegal to own. A gun by virtue of being able to feed from an illegal feeding device alone does not make it illegal, a gun itself would only illegal if it meets the requirements of being an assault weapon as outlined prior.

3. A Mosin-Nagant cannot be a fucking assault weapon by the law because it is not semi-automatic, even if you attach an illegal feeding device, forgrip, o it.

4. M1 Garands are, by standard design, an eight round magazine. 10-Rounds en-bloc fed magazines would still be legal without need for exemption because, again, cut off is MORE than ten rounds.

Too bad the assault WEAPONS ban does NOT exclude bolt-action rifles, defining ALL semi-automatic weapons OR ANY weapons CAPABLE of accepting a ten-round magazine.

Mosin Nagant bolt-action rifles and WW2-era Garands fit this description. The Mosin Nagant is also explicitly named in the assault weapons ban.

Uh....

Yeah, it does exclude bolt-action rifles.

SEC. 110102. RESTRICTION ON MANUFACTURE, TRANSFER, AND POSSESSION OF
CERTAIN SEMIAUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPONS.
(a) Restriction.--Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is

Bolt-Action Rifles cannot, by definition, be Assault Weapon per the AWB of 1994. Furthermore, the Mosin-Nagant, or more specifically the Mosin-Nagant M91/30 that most people refer to, is not one of the 19 specifically listed banned assault rifles. Those would be:

Norinco, Mitchell, and Poly Technologies Avtomat
Kalashnikovs (all models);
Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil;
Beretta Ar70 (SC-70);
Colt AR-15;
Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR, and FNC;
SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9, and M-12;
Steyr AUG;
INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and
Street Sweeper and Striker 12;

https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/house-bill/3355/text

We aren't talking about the one from 1994. We're talking about the one in Congress RIGHT NOW, that defines "Assault Weapon" as any weapon capable of taking a magazine holding ten rounds or more.

The one from 1994 cost US taxpayers almost a billion dollars over its lifespan, and had no effect on gun crime.

Why? The biggest reason is that rifles are rarely used in gun crimes compared to handguns.

Which one? I'm familiar with H.R. 5087, and it most certainly does not:

1. Ban the Mosin-Nagant by name.

2. Ban the Mosin-Nagant by magazine, since the ban prohibits magazines greater than 10 rounds and the Mosin-Nagant has a 5-round magazine.

Also the difference in rage is another one that's possibly even more significant in terms of damage potential.

I mean I'd stand 3 or 400 yards from you and let you shoot at me with a shotgun any day. Not gonna do that with a rifle.

And if I'm firing slugs, you're not going to have a good time of it. A 1oz slug can easily range on you at 2500 feet (~830 yards)... Maximum range at sea level is closer to 3500-4000 feet. (For reference a 660 grain 50 bmg round is 1.5oz...)

No, you are wrong. Maximum effective range of a standard foster slug from a choked barrel is about 100 yards, after that the ballistic coefficient and sectional density are so wretched it will pitch down substantially. At about 200 yards your hold over is so extreme you can't even effectively sight your target, let alone the disastrous MOA deviation down range. If you are getting it out to 2500 feet it's because you are pitching the barrel at about 30 degrees, and at that point it's about as effective as trying to accurately lob a smooth-bore musket ball that far--A barely viable proposition for an 18th century column of musket men trying to hit volley fire another column of infantry half a mile away, not so much for a individual trying to accurately target another individual. Which isn't even getting to the issue of actually IDENTIFYING your target at those kinds of ranges, since human eye sight in field conditions can barely identify targets out to 300 yards without magnifying optics.

No, assault rifle is a select fire weapon, usually capable of burst fire, but also capable of automatic fire. It has an actual definition, which the TC did not use correctly in his shitty attempt at classifying a small game hunting rifle as an assault rifle.

He said "sporting rifle" is useless as a term, and I said that so is "assault rifle" when a bolt action gun with a detachable mag, telescoping stock and a pistol grip can qualify as one. Stop trying to gunsplain. I know more than you.

I would argue that the lethality of a shooter is going to depend heavily on circumstances other than firearm itself, such as the location, their proficiency, etc. At its time, the Vriginia Tech shooting was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history where 32 people (I believe ) died and it was carried out with handguns.

To add, the Congressional Baseball Shooting was done with a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62x39, a larger round than 5.56x45 and yet all the victims lived.

The rounds were designed to wound. Kill one and the enemy is down one soldier. Injure one and the enemy is down one soldier plus the soldiers bringing him back to base for medical treatment.

No it fucking wasn't. The rounds was designed to maintain supersonic ballistics at moderate ranges for consistent performance out to 500 yards while still maintaining a low recoil impulse to facilitate automatic fire--The AK-47 is closer in design philosophy and combat doctrine to a submachine gun than it is a rifle.

The 5.56 and 5.45 are essentially the same but with more emphasis on smaller size and faster velocity for improved logistics and better ballistics with flatter trajectories, designed for an infantry rifleman combat doctrine.

Why not just play dnd

No group of people to play with, but before I moved I used to with a small group of friends and my wife. Still, though, this sort of stuff has more historical context and background than D&D.

Oh cool i guess. So it is a well researched bunch of magickery things back in time?

Like a collection of real life myths and beliefs and rituals? It is cool of so.

Yeah, pretty much. I mean, it pretty clearly takes a believer stance, but it's almost impossible to find any books on anything like that which don't take some sort of perspective on it. However, it's got rituals and spells from a wide variety of traditions. I've noticed Celtic, Hindu, Norse, Hoodoo, South American, some early Christian fuckery, and a few others so far.

Unfortunately, it's a really neglected area of study in academic circles because, "haha, magic's not real!", which is fine and all, but completely neglects the fact that these were common ideas in societies that we often study while ignoring what the people actually believed. It's sort of sad, considering that a lot of the same guys will study the intricacies of an organized religion on a specific society, but completely ignore folk beliefs or shamanistic practices because 'they aren't real'.

I also collect Tarot Cards because I think they are cool. The thing is that 'magic' can serve a pretty straightforward purpose; it's a thought experiment that utilizes creativity and helps one to sees things differently or offers comfort when there is no reason to have it. Sometimes I use Tarot cards to solve problems or write stories.

It's not that there is any actual magic behind any of it (not that I wouldn't want that sort of power) but being able to visualize your plans or give yourself a placebo effect is a power of its own.

To say rituals and "magic" are neglected subjects in anthropology is not only bizarre, as there is a plethora of excellent literature on traditions of the supernatural through many cultures and many centuries, but to conflate this book with anything resembling an academic interest is also frankly disappointing. This is a collection of new-age bull crap curated by someone with no academic qualifications, care for authenticity, or backing of historical relevance.

It's one thing to write fiction under the pretense of fiction, it's another to peddle delusion as reality. Any human, frankly, should find that offensive. There is a reason the snake-oil salesman is distrusted, there is a reason the fortune-teller is shunned, and there is a reason conman is reviled. A person with no interest in reality, or worse, who is happy to exploit lies for their own gain are a detriment to society and so is any vehicle by which its ideas are shared.

Every man should learn how to defend themselves but all intelligent people know that even if you are the best fighter on the planet all it takes is a 8 year old with Decent gun training and you are dead.

Or that no amount of self defense training will make you immune to attackers friend to fuck you up by surprise. Unless, you really train HARD martial arts, you won't improve your chances to actually win against someone. Just going to some Mc dojo once a week to train against some silliest attacks ever won't do anything. Its mostly because in pretty much all martial arts you don't get nowhere near actual fight simulation, and the aggression and all that makes most people to forget all their training and they don't want to get up close, because they are afraid to get hurt, or even die.

It does not take a tremendous amount of training to become significantly better than 99% of people who would try to fight you. A year of good boxing practice alone will vastly increase your odds of winning a fight.

AK-47 uses a worse cartridge, has worse accuracy, has worse ergonomics and handling, worse perceived recoil, and less customization.

Get an AK-74m if you want an AK. The 5.45 is an excellent cartridge, many designs are fairly customizable, it's accurate, it's controllable, it's more reliable, and its recoil is minimal.

I'm not sold on 5.45x39 being better than 7.62x39. One is even smaller than 5.56. The other is .30 cal.

Speed is more critical in a spitzer bullet with ample rifling and sufficient mass, not diameter. The 5.45 is a flatter trajectory and the wounding potentials are about the same due to increased velocity/cavitation wound. The only thing a larger diameter bullet like 7.62 is better at is penetration due to increased mass, which is a secondary characteristic at best.

The best was when he got exposed last week. His whole gimmick is killing is bad this that n the third but then in a death penalty topic he was talking about they need to just shpot amd kill people that are on death row quickly . lol

If someone walks onto your property, then you don't assault them. You walk onto their property, as that would be a proportional response.

Fucking lmao

The average sized dude probably could, yeah.

Nah. Also, I remember people saying the same about Cyborg. Lool..

Yeah, it's pretty cringey. Even just kickboxing Ronda Rousey would knock out any dude that doesn't train, and she is not a good kickboxer. Mix in grappling and most guys would get straight merc'd.

White girls don't like black guys.

Statistically speaking, the only women that don't seem to discriminate against black guys are black women.

A mean, a more accurate statement would be,

"If you need to add something to food to enjoy it, then you don't like that food by itself."

Which is actually correct, because it is just a tautology.

To say I don't like brocolli when I only like it with a cheese sauce is logically untrue: I enjoy a subset of brocolli with certain conditions. If I didn't, I wouldn't say "I like brocolli with cheese", I would say, "I'll eat brocolli and cheese because I like cheese, despite not liking brocolli". In this latter case, it can be assumed that the subtraction of brocolli would not decrease my enjoyment of the dish, but in the former it cannot be assumed that the subtraction of brocolli would not decrease my enjoyment. The brocolli may be a part of my enjoyment in that dish, and thus in that context, unequivacably I enjoy brocolli.

If you have to cook chicken to enjoy it, you don't really like chicken. You're just using heat to literally change its chemical composition so it tastes better.

I usually try things on their own first just to see.

It is a game far ahead of its time. None of its aspects or mechanics are better than modern games, of course, but its worth playing just to appreciate the ambition it had for an SNES game.
