the sage’s prophecy states a brave shemale of brunette locks and eyesight poor will slay the twisted midden-wight king and restore harmony to the land… could you be the hero my people have been looking for…?

in general i do really like when the 'boundaries for rules and penalties for breaking the rules' are (correctly) understood as part of 'how the game is played' in competitive games. ppl always get really snippy about this kind of thing but i lay firmly on the side of "the spirit of the rules does not exist, the rules exist as they are enforced". and so anyway i just noticed you forgot your pact trigger earlier and you just tapped out for a spell, so im putting that on the stack now.

Actually! This is now the correct enforcement of the rule at competitive REL. Like any other missed trigger, the player is given the opportunity to put it on the stack at the point that they realize it's been missed, though they of course get warned (as does their opponent) for failure to maintain game state. So the correct way to catch your opponent out for forgetting a pact trigger *is* to get them to tap out some mana, then call over a judge and point out their pact trigger, at which point they cannot pay and lose.

You can actually see pro tour, magic world cup, and mythic invitational winner Andrea Mengucci do *exactly* this to (also) pro tour, magic world cup, and mythic invitational winner Simon Nielsen (mentioned just to point out even pros mess up, not glaze them for no reason) in this video (timestamped, it happens over the next 2 minutes). The exact situation mentioned in the OP. So Miss vitreous-sight has it entirely correct *and* that's actually the exact advice given by Mengu.

"so there's a divine form of truth that can't be grasped..."

"oh, like the truth that can be felt?"

"yeah, but this one is the shape of the vessel's emptiness rather than the water within."

"wait, but that's sick, because you can find meaning in stillness and silence."

"exactly."

the way that people critique "the western family" drives me completely up the wall because 1 the implication, often intentional, that families in eg India, china are actually good + woke 2 the fact that most people are qualifying "western" because they are afraid of being accused of being racist/imperialist so they instead imagine a mythical East of englightment

odd that in both DIE and The Power Fantasy Gillon has his genre-standard mental manipulation power user turn to camera and say "No, we would never use this to make someone have sex. That would be rape, and Rape Is Bad." For one thing because both are already meant to be questioning the inherently dubious nature of overwriting another's agency. For another because in the power fantasy, the conceit for it being said is a conversation where the other participant has, truly, no reason to believe it. And of course, because of the ways it unquestioningly treats rape as uniquely evil above any other violence or violation. It seems born of two factors to me: preciousness about wanting his protagonists to remain far from some lines and not others, and speaking to a less engaged audience than I to make sure they get it

we all know vagueposting rather than dming someone directly is bad. But, once you start vagueposting about how vagueposting is bad, does it suddenly become better? no, i believe that only once you are vagueposting about vagueposting about vagueposting does it become good, through a kind of chrysopoeic process.

Why should a VN respect your time? Have you perhaps considered that your time isn't worth respecting? Now back to it.
