@Cerberus Come spend a bar in WMT. We've been attacked by an upstart with crummy decks. I'm spent and preparing for sniping. )))

Also, @kit was going to kick some ass IIRC...

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Robusto

@RegDwightѬſ道 He's not going to fall for that one again. Not unless you offer some other inducement.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Well actually I was meaning to ask for something for quite some time. Even if you don't have the time to fight, please do at least log in once a day, so that our activity bar goes up. Otherwise it's really hard to recruit new people. They will join, see that we are only half full and only half of us are active, and they will leave right away. @Cer @Kit @Rob @Vit

Robusto

@RegDwightѬſ道 I do log in at least once a day, and normally put in multiple fights on multiple wars.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

I know. So does Vitaly. I'm just pinging everyone.

You know that we are really laid back and all, and in fact Team AFK got to the top 30 with the same philosophy, but they are full. And that's what I'm trying to achieve: get us to 50 people, then the core people can just completely relax once and for all.

Robusto

My decks are getting stale, though. I have new cards but am not really sure how to put them together into viable forces. I've tried a bunch of things that have failed miserably against plain old def decks. Still getting a lot out of Draconecrosopras, but Gorelesup is just about dead against any really competitive factions.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Yeah I find myself surging with LtW most of the time.

Robusto

Same.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

2:38 PM

I kicked out OPollo from my Gorelesup, in favor of Hephatat, and it does work fine against certain factions, but only against certain factions.

Robusto

Though that's when I run into nasty stall walls.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Oh yes.

But anyhow, the idea is to get us to 50 people then for all I care we can all collectively switch to Fight with empty decks.

user19161

I feel like I am missing out all the fun. But I really hate gaming.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Wills gonna hate.

Robusto

@RegDwightѬſ道 I wonder how it would affect game play to have a Super Surge, in which you would give up two moves before you had to commit to a deck.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

2:40 PM

Hard to tell.

More people will be running Pathdalia, I guess.

user19161

Is there any reason why this is not closed yet?

Robusto

Yeah. I wonder if there's anything I can add to my Draconecrosopras to make it more versatile.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Cowbell.

Add seven cowbell.

Or even eight.

Robusto

@RegDwightѬſ道 What are the stats on cowbell?

RegDwight Ѭſ道

2:42 PM

Actually I still don't have Necrogeddon.

@Robusto OVER 9000.

Q: usage of up(or down) after a verb

There are lots of instance of using 'up' or 'down' after verbs. Instances: eat up, drink up, meet up, finish up, start up, fill up, clean up, wipe up, tie up What do they add as meaning to a verb exactly?

meaning

Robusto

It's pretty nice. I've defeated Pathdalia with it.

user19161

Interesting question which I think should remain open.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@WillHunting We've had something like that with another preposition. Robusto answered it.

"Speak out" or something.

Robusto

@RegDwightѬſ道 I left myself open for that one.

A: What's the meaning of 'out' when it comes after a verb ?

Usually when applied to a verb involving speech, out involves the addressing of a group, normally a non-specific group, as in "anyone who will listen." John spoke out when he saw injustice being done. Mary shouted out for help. The bailiff read out the charges against the defendant....

@Robusto And don't forget to multiply by eight. Or at least seven.

user19161

Checking up in a dictionary gives over 9000 meanings. One can say it is a GR question, or there may be some deep theory behind it.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Anyhoo, I'm out for half an hour or so. See you on the front.

user19161

See you at the back.

Robusto

@WillHunting It is gen ref or else a list question, because you really have to learn all the uses. To "live something up" and "live something down" are not opposite in meaning, for example.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

And "give up" has two completely unrelated meanings.

Robusto

2:48 PM

Also you can screw something up, sweeten it up, mark it up, look it up — all different in meaning. You can knock someone up and knock someone down. Unrelated.

The question really is unanswerable in our SE format.

Matt Эллен

look someone up, look someone down, look someone up and down

RegDwight Ѭſ道

There could be an etymological pattern though. I'm really on the fence.

user19161

We can also do it sideways, like a crab!

Robusto

The most common ground is using up as an intensifier. But it's not common enough to make a general rule.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Yeah...

user19161

2:51 PM

I thought you are going out?

Robusto

@MattЭллен How do you look someone down? You can stare them down, but that's not the same thing.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@WillHunting I am going up so you can sort it up.

Or down.

But now I'm out.

Robusto

@RegDwightѬſ道 Speak up, if you're going to speak down to him.

Matt Эллен

@Robusto hmmm I proabbly meant stare them down

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Listen up: you guys should take this transcript, clean it up, then write it down as an answer

Robusto

2:52 PM

Actually, @Reg is over and out.

Matt Эллен

but you can look down on someone

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Then it can be voted up, or voted down.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Let's not out the ante on this one.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@RegDwightѬſ道 Ok. It's up to you.

Robusto

@RegDwightѬſ道 Why do people insist on bringing up things that only bring me down?

Matt Эллен

2:54 PM

@Robusto lighten up! you knew what would happen when you came down here

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

My son brought something up last night while he was sleeping. I had to clean him up then put him back down.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@Robusto You know, if you are going up, why not go up in style?

►

Robusto

@RegDwightѬſ道 Because I would only go down in flames.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@Robusto You mean annihilation. From another galaxy.

user19161

Reg is not over and out but still in.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

2:55 PM

I have to be in to make up for your being out.

Robusto

@RegDwightѬſ道 I'm still not going to make out with you.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@RegDwightѬſ道 WTF?

user19161

You can make it up to your partner by making out with him or her.

user19161

Just be careful not to make extra stuff.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

I wake up, I make up, I take my time and I don't feel I have to hurry, I no longer need you.

For No One

"For No One" is a song written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney) that originally appeared on The Beatles' seventh album, Revolver. A baroque pop song about the end of a relationship, it was one of McCartney's most mature and poignant works upon its release. Mostly performed by the composer, the track is distinguished by its French horn solo, performed by Alan Civil and used as an obbligato in the final verse. John Lennon said of the song, "One of my favourites of his—a nice piece of work." Writing and recording McCartney recalls writing "For No One" in the bathro...

A Day in the Life

"A Day in the Life" is a song by The Beatles, the final track on the group's 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Credited to Lennon–McCartney, the song comprises distinct segments written independently by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, with orchestral additions. While Lennon’s lyrics were inspired by contemporary newspaper articles, McCartney’s were reminiscent of his youth. The decisions to link sections of the song with orchestral glissandos and to end the song with a sustained piano chord were made only after the rest of the song had been recorded. The supposed dru...
