Let's Talk Rapid Thought!

Btw, regarding the "Burn option" on cards - it might not be the best way of doing it. "Burn option" has a specific definition (== you can burn the card if you don't meet the requirements for playing it), which isn't really appliable to Minion Tap (or, that would mean, burnable when you control no vampire) or to vampires (unless you already control one vampire of the same name). I'd change it to "Must be discarded when drawn / seen" or something like that.

Hmmmm you may have a point regarding the terminology. Sounds like another good change to make.

I played in the tournament Bakija ran, and it was a ton of fun. I don't think it'd work very well without using decks specifically suited to it, but I dunno that standard decks would be unplayable in the format (assuming they took out any cards banned in RT), just not quite as good.

I really, really don't think it'd work very well with more than three people. While I understand people saying that three-player VTES isn't "real" VTES, a big part of the point of RT is that it's not standard VTES. If you want to be able to make crosstable deals with someone who isn't your predator or prey, don't play RT, which won't give you enough time to do so.

Honestly, with the rare event of a player successfully completing a Withdrawal in 5-player VTES... Why should we even consider allowing a Withdraw from Rapid Thought?

The requirements on a Withdraw should almost preclude it from happening in Rapid Thought.

(No pool changes, no blood/life on minion changes for a complete turn).


Rather than set up those additional tables that will basically never really happen... the only ones to consider would be the scenarios presented by Life Boon. Most of those would seem to be covered by the existing VP-splits.

Sorry right away: I have no time to read this thread through now.

I just wanted to ask if you guys have already considered to add Ashurs Tablets and Liquidation to the banned list (or watch list at least). An Anson Gunner, Nanalism, Khazar1s Diary, etc. could be off balance...
