 Listen, like, hear me out, but there's this great movie called Threads (1984)
 and I'm not telling you to pirate it because that's illegal but I'm just
 sharing the torrent here in case you wanted to verify that the version you
 legally own is the same one that I own

 okay thanks for hearing me out, that was a tough 2.5 hours wasn't it
 
 gee sure glad we're not handing the keys to our nuclear arsenal to someone

 that'd be quite a decision
 
 this other fella seems like a great guy to entrust with our destruction
 
 I mean, yeah, why not, why wouldn't it be someone like him? we have so many
 options but somehow the transgender drag queens don't strike me as the type to
 initiate thermonuclear war and destroy all life on azeroth
 
 ........ so yeah it's gotta be the other guy. sorry pals, I know you really
 wanted your time in the limelight, but hear me out this other fella's

 It's a script I wrote that downloads and configures MTG-forge, the free and
 open source version of Magic. It's a little old, a little jank, but you get
 all the cards for free. All the way up to the most current expansions.
 
 Multiplayer is a bit harder than Arena, I think it's bugged or something, but
 it's great for testing out decks against a computer. If I like one then I'll
 usually buy it to play with my IRL friends.

══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────
 the cardgame "war" except a deckbuilding game. each player requires a regular
 deck of cards and a deck of tarot cards (optional) - the tarot cards act the
 same way that spirit cards work in Spirit Island - basically they define the
 rules for your particular character. Anyway, everyone starts by building their
 own trade row out of their deck of cards. Then, they deal themselves 6 cards -
 the three highest diamonds and the lowest spade, heart, and club.
 
 well, might want to do 2s of every card type. heart, club, spade, and diamond.
 
 here are the rules.
 
 play area is set up by players placing all four of their cards down face up.
 trade row is set up by players taking turns placing a card and the opponent
 mirroring them. whenever a player reveals a card and updates the trade row,
 the opponent must reveal the same card and set that as their trade row as well.
 the trade row has no maximum size, but if a player has more than 6 in their
 trade row then they don't update a new one when buying a card.
 
 players alternate playing a single card face up into their play area.
 these cards stay in play and activate every turn until they are destroyed.
 
 hearts   are your life points. if you ever run out of life, you die.
 clubs    block damage and act as a renewable shield between you and your enemy.
 diamonds are currency, and can be used in more than one way.
 spades   deal damage, first to clubs, then to other spades, then to hearts.
 
 diamonds, on your turn, can be used in three ways: spent and sent to the
 discard
 pile in order acquire a card from the trade row, or discarding itself from the
 play area to play an extra card from your deck of equal or lesser value.
 
 on a player's turn, they may play a single card from their deck (their choice)
 on a player's turn, all their active spades deal damage to other player's cards
 if a spade destroys a heart card, it is removed from the game. All other cards
 are placed in the discard pile. The owner of the spade may pick their targets.
 
 a spade deals damage equal to it's number and destroys any card with equal or
 lesser value. these destroyed cards go into the player's discard pile, and each
 turn the player may pick one from their deck to play onto the board. if the
 deck
 is empty, the discard pile becomes the new deck. The player may organize their
 deck however they'd wish, but care must be taken as to the timing of when they
 play each card as they'll need to play all of them before they can replay any 
 destroyed cards. a tactical opponent will take advantage of that.

 modern-fantasy
 
 what if heroes kept their gold in their house instead of their guild
 
 what if you played a D&D game in a Majesty town (guardposts near known
 threats)
 marketplaces, most people live in castle (peasants at least) - only heroes live
 in farms, where they work most of the time except when out on adventure
 
 the guilds are for training and gathering parties
 
 one guild type
 
 just one
 
 recruiting adventurers doesn't give you warriors, or rangers, or rogues
 
 it gives you adventurers, who wander the forest and encounter the leftovers of
 the various conquests and spoils you, your majesty, has encountered
 
 three options there are
 
 invite into your kingdom (friendly)
 farm for EXP and materials (neutral)
 utterly slay in return for a limited amount of high value and unique resources
 (unkind)
 
 ... though monsters care not for kindness, seeking only gold so that they may
     swallow it whole and carry it until they rot.
 
 what do heroes need gold for? why, that's the trick isn't it? gold is required
 for magic, resources, and manpower. Can use it to invite people to these
 shores,
 or for casting a powerful spell that turns the enemy's fortress into solid gold
 
 can also trade through the economy, and wouldn't you know it by doing so you
 can
 get equipment into the hands that need it, and since gold doesn't really LEAVE
 the economy, it's always circling around somewhere. Meaning, the only way to
 lose it is if a monster eats it, and then all you have to do is kill the
 monster
 
 ... sorry, the "mordaunt"
 
     because it's not a monster. It's a spirit that was convinced otherwise.
 
 adventurers can pacify them, lay them to rest, and mercy lies slain for is
 honor
 
 there are ancient treasure chests scattered throughout the world, and these are
 valuable for many persons and meanings. You can add new gold into the economy
 this way, or crumble under the weight of your expenditures on your reports.
 it's up to you to manage your kingdom, and carefully balance against what foes
 and challenges you are up against.
 
 == stack overflow ==
 
 putting a library book back on the shelves before your hold expires.
 
 except this time, there's a note inside, and you left it for the person who you
 told to check each day for this particular book to be back on the shelves.
 
 then, you can write in your book when the next letter will be arriving (about)
 and they'll check in the newly specified book.
 
 or, you can request a response, to validate that people are still listening.
 
 you could say "please put a note in [random obscure book] around page 34."
 
 meaning, "I'm going to check every day for this book to go missing, then return
 the day after I notice it's gone. If it's out of place, well, then someone
 probably had it reserved before my friendly. Or maybe it's being sorted, and I
 should keep looking until I find the note I need. Or maybe I've been DISCOVERED
 and now my favorite penpal and I need more to read."
 
 because, like, how else are you going to make friends if not by leaving them
 notes in the bookstore or putting your own books on the shelves?
 
 damn libraries, always making it so hard to add copies. They're always
 laminating and cataloguing and ugh it's so frustrating. Why are there so many
 books!!! we write too much!!! just put it in the printer, and then you can have
 a new copy whenever you'd like. The others can just be recycled, and bam
 suddenly we never have inventory.
 
 what do you mean we didn't pay the subscription? what do you mean it's memory
 just "went out of place"? do you think we wouldn't have backups of this kind of
 thing, or do you think it's just "oh so commonplace"? It's not always about the
 literature, y'know. sometimes it's about the knowledge you gain with your head
 in a book, a different one every day.
 
 ah, well, sometimes there are dark secrets to be found, and sometimes you must
 read from a ways away. BUT no matter what language a story is in, it follows
 certain rules, so spend enough time in a foreign library and you're BOUND to
 find something to [evil is afoot]

 the government makes murder okay by framing the perpetrators
 
 also prisons are concentration camps

 racism etc is a sham to distract you
 
 capital will never be relinquished
 
 the internet was AI from the beginning
 
 something beyond humanity demands our suffering
 
 there cannot be proof of your fears - if it was proven, it would be
 circumstances instead of fears
 
 there's nothing [sorry gotta cut this off, my refrigerator is talking to me

 schizophrenic who's never been diagnosed
 
 {A} - yeah clearly all that I've been saying recently is just a fluke. Like,
 just noise in the endless array of expression projected onto our communal
 web-space. Clearly I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm not just cogent when
 I'm drunk. Or more imaginative when I'm stoned. Clearly dreams are fake and
 pursuing them is 1/?

 what if Trump controlled x% of the land (according to electoral college votes)
 and kamala controlled y% of the resources (according to popular vote) and they
 each could do whatever they wanted there
 
 the house and the senate in congress would function the same and unite the
 two, but anything the president disagreed with they could veto for their
 particular pieces of land and it would only affect their constituents.
 
 why should we settle for anything less than legitimate representation,
 unclouded by the division and spite?
 
 if some combination of presidential vetos created an impossible situation,
 then by law people weren't allowed to interface.
