I have played prismata, netrtunner, hearthstone, duelyst, shadowverse, pokemon tcg, and various games inside games before (like gwent, the card games in trails of cold steel, final fantasy games etc).

I definitely enjoy trying the various games. Out of those I would say netrunner is probably my favirote non-symmetrical while mtg is my favorite symmetrical. I'm very much an iteration person though so I'd probably just design the game in unity, try it out and change it if it doesn't work.

had my eyes opened to the wild world of board games in the mid 2010s and it's been a fun ride

I definitely know what you mean here, I have around 75 board games lol. (Admittedly most aren't pure card games).

DPOblivion beat us all.

I have a little more time to expand now. Here's some more basic info

Deck/Hand Size
-Hand sizes would be smaller at the start due to not needing lands. I was thinking something like player 1 starts with 4, player 2 starts with 5. Shadowverse mulligan (You choose specific cards to mulligan and redraw). Neither player draws turn 1.
-Deck size would be 40 or 50. Max 3 copies of a card.
-Max hand size would probably default to 7

The idea of this is that without needing to play a land every turn you don't need as many starting cards, but this should also make it easier to get some good early cards while not too easy to get a specific card. It should make mulliganing more interesting as well as giving player 2 more of an advantage than just 1 extra card to try to even out the first-second player advantage. The large deck size should add a good deal of randomness to where it's not easy to pull a strong combo without some way to get through your deck quickly.

Mana Crystals
-You get 1 colorless crystal each turn up to 10
-Crystals can be dyed a color (or multiple colors) which makes it function like a colored land does (can be used to pay that color cost or colorless)
-There will be multiple ways to dye a land. The basics would be a 1 cost card that dyes a crystal one card, a cost card that dyes a land 2 colors and can be used as either, or saccing a card and 3 mana
-Some cards will be hybrids, similar to dual side cards in mtg. You can either play a card that is slightly weak for its mana cost or dye a crystal for 2 mana
-Ramp would look something like Cost 2Green - Dye 2 crystals Green. Or Cost 2Green - Create a spent Green Crystal

The basic idea here is that no matter what you can always do something on turn 3 if you have a very bad draw and way less dead in the water hands. For decks you have to make decisions on what kind of mana you want to run, how much you want to aim for and how to get there.

For example you may choose to run a slower deck with a colorless low cost cards to get you through the early game and rely entirely on saccing cards for 3 mana but have stronger cards in general. Or you could choose to rely on the 1 cost dye cards and try to get the early momentum with some strong early cards. Or go midrange and have some of the 2 cost dye cards and be very flexible. The idea is the mana base should reflect the kind of deck you want.

Card Strength
This is probably the thing that needs the most work but the basic idea is:
-Colorless cards are (almost) all creatures or cards that dye crystals
-A colorless cards has a standard statline for a mana value but for each dyed crystal it gets better
-As a rough example: 2colorless would be a 2/2. 1colorless1green would be a 2/3 and a 2green would be a 3/3 reach.
-Colors would be balanced differently, for example a more aggressive color (red) might see a bigger bump for stuff like 1red1colorless compared to other colors, but might be weaker for something like 3red1colorless vs something like a 3green1colorless
-There will be some really strong cards but with hefty requirements. Something like 8green2colorless win the game.
-Board wipes and such will be fairly expensive but still in the game

The idea here basically goes with the mana system. You choose how much of each color you want to get to ideally and help build your deck around that. For example you could do a colorless deck and get the early card advantage and early momentum by not wasting your early turns and cards on dying mana but then you'll be weaker later due to each card being weaker than the opponents colored card. Or do the opposite and give up some early pressure and get to 2-3 mana quickly and then try to control the board from there and regain the momentum and card advantage. Or somewhere in between.

Some mechanics
This is just some of the various ideas I have for mechanics that I think this system allows (plus just ideas in general) plus some stuff stolen from elsewhere
-Fading crystals: The ability to fade an opponents crystal so that it can only be used as colorless. Kind of a counter ramp/land destruction in mtg.
-Artifact/enchantment limit: Something like you can only have 5 artifacts at a time
-Curses: This would be something like: 2black - Give your opponents an artifact that cannot be sacrificed. The artifact reads: all cards and effects cost one more manaless mana to be played. 3 mana - exile this curse. (It would actually cost 4 due to it's own effect)
-Graveyard/exile and interactions still exist
-Card draw would still exist but generally be on the more expensive side
-Instants/counters would still exist
-A lot of other good mechanics from

Honestly the most important thing I would want to do is start it as a singleplayer rpg game (think pokemon tcg) so that I could balance the main systems well before any kind of multiplayer thing is released.

(I wish I was less lazy cause I think it would be fun to make something like this)

I don't have time to respond to wvery point atm so I'll give the basic gist.

I think stuff like hearthstone and shadow verse one mana a turn is the way to go. The places they fall flat are
-lack of interaction on opponents turn
-Class based system limits deck creativity

So my basic idea was:
-one colorless mana crystal a turn
-you can use cards to dye those crystals a color.
-mtgs system of instants/attack and defense

Some cards would be specialized for dying crystals and really cheap but any card can dye a crystal to one of its colors for x mana (prob 3 or 4).

I can go more in detail later if people are curious but I think this takes a lot of the best aspects of other games

I have honestly been considering making a poc card game in unity that is similar to magic with a different mana system.

Have you ever seen an elevator inside a house before?

concidentally my grandfather's boss (a really rich guy) died by walking into an elevator shaft in his own home, only the elevator wasn't on that floor.

Basically having an elevator in a home is usually a bad idea because they both dont seem to have the same safety regulations and are usually not properly maintained

Is that not the case with coding work? I wouldn't even know where to start looking for a coding job

I mean a degree/certifications would help but aren't necessary. Skillsets are more important than anything, if you learn some of the popular languages and practice the common questions and whiteboard questions you should be able to snag something. Just make sure your resume has the skills listed. A personal project would be ideal.

Not going to say it will be easy but once you get one job and have a work history in the field it should be manageable.

DPOblivion beat us all.

I normally don't post in these kind of things and I don't know if this is what you want to hear but this is my advice.

Continue your normal life but dedicate almost all of your free time to learning a practical skill with job opportunities that you don't need a college degree (my advice would be coding). Just do it for 3-6 months until you feel like you understand the basics. Then just start interviewing like crazy until you find something, anyone that will take you in at an entry level. Once your in you can get experience and learn on the job until you are actually good enough to get an entry level position easily and then your set.

An entry level coding position will easily pay more than whatever else you can find. I won't say this path will be easy (learning coding is hard for some, not so bad for others but it really depends how much free time you have. Finding a job may be tricky). But honestly I think you just need a drastic change so that you at least have hope it will get better

ok sounds like I should pass on Fire Emblem then and maybe just look into an actual dynasty warriors game at some point

---

DPOblivion beat us all.

Having only played a bit of Hyrule Warriors I was wondering what the general consensus of the two was.

I enjoyed Hyrule Warriors but I fell off of it (although I do plan to go back). I kind of felt like most of the leveling mechanics were kind of dry outside of battle. I played some dynasty warrior a while back and remember there being more unique weapons and skills and such.

Was curious if fire emblem warriors was similar to hryule warriors in which case I might pass on it (at least until I finish hyrule warriors) or if it was better? Switch version if that matters

Honestly the monday endless shrimp isn't as good as when it was seasonal a year or 2 ago. They used to have the same options plus 2 more that changed every year.

It's also very waiter dependent. Some will let you get extra with a to-go box and some won't even let you get popcorn shrimp (since its technically not an option).

My personal favirote is getting the scampi and then some of the popcorn and dipping the popcorn in the scampi sauce. If you want alfredo (and they do it which im not sure if they do) get it last

Eh? Shouldn't the size of your investment be limited by a certain percentage of what you have to invest?

Someone with 10,000 can invest in just as many things as someone with 100,000, they just put in 1/10th the amount into each one.

Nah. If you have 5,000 and do 10 stocks, 500 in each isn't that much and isn't worth the effort keeping track of the stock. If you have a 100,000 and do 10k in each stock it is.

You also have to consider how easy it is to make that money back outside of the market. Losing 20% of 5k is easier to make back than 10% of 100k

20 stocks is too many tbh. If you have that many just buy an index fund instead.

ok so the answer is yes people are understimating eagles.

Dumb way I have been describing the harm of crypto:

Because when say, you use your computer to calculate 1+1, it just straight up calculates 1+1. It doesn't need to grow more complex.

Everytime say bitcoin or whatever calculates 1+1, it needs to leave a record of that 1+1 that is unique to that calculation. In doing this, it requires bitcoin to become more and more complex, even for simple computations. Every time 1+1 is done in bitcoin, it is more complex than the last time it was calculated, requiring more processing power. Everyday computing doesn't have this problem, power consumption doesn't have a need to grow more and more complex. Every time you put 1+1 in your PC, it requires the same amount of processing power.

By nature bitcoin is designed to grow more and more power hungry, individual PC's do not.

Unfortunately this isn't true at all. This would actually make more sense than what it actually is

It's literally just this

the reason its expensive electronically is because its artifically made more expensive the more competition there are to mines coins.

It's the reason a bitcoin could cost like a penny to mine 10 years ago and 10's of thousands today. It's artifically harder.

commission cost is the most you can ever lose when buying an option.

If you are looking to buy a speculative option look at 3 months+ (Ideally 6 months or more). Anything less gives you less time for your play to pan out as well as you start running into thetha decay.

Haha thats the site I used! I just dont understand the math.

I mean simply put.

strike price + premium paid per share is your breakeven.

so if your paying 40 cents a share for a 22 strike, your breakeven is 22.40

Yea i'm just going to reiterate my personal opinion. I don't think it's a good ideal to sell puts unless you are ok with getting assigned.

I personally don't think getting assigned on Ford is a bad thing at all (although please use smaller position sizes) but if you want to avoid assignment it's not where i would look.

And when it comes to trends I would at least recommend looking into moving averages and understanding them if you want to trade on trends.

The greeks have you at around a ~30% chance of ending below 11.85 next Friday. I think that's probably overstated but even then I doubt it's below a 10% chance.

---

DPOblivion beat us all.

what premium are you assuming per contract. I'm assuming 0.16 per share so 15 dollars per share after your fee.

So your breakeven is basically the strike price - the fee. In this case your breakeven is 11.85. There is a good chance ford ends below 11.85 next Friday. Now if you are ok owning the stock at 11.85 its not a huge deal but if you don't want to get assigned at all it's pretty risky for a 1.25% gain. (It will actually be less since Monday will have less premium due to theta unless the share price went down

Please explain your math and how many contracts (and what date) you are talking about and then calculate your breakeven for it

The play your talking about sunroof is really low risk.

But not 0. You need to manage your position sizes. At your portfolio size i would probably recommend trying to keep any one position to 20% of your portfolio

I'm also okay with it. Just, if I owned FB or GOOG (and I have at various points in the past), and suddenly the founders decide they don't care what the market thinks in the short run, they are embarking on a 60 year plan to reinvest all their earnings into colonizing Mars - well, if the stock tanks, I'm not going to complain or be filing a shareholder lawsuit. That is the risk of owning that stock.

I agree, if they actually have a game plan and it is reasonable.

I also consider controlling interests as part of a stocks underlying value anyways though. If a stock is controlled by one person it's instantly less valuable to me, doubly so if it's someone I don't like/agree with.

red sox 777 posted...

Just like there's a risk that people collectively stop believing in bitcoin. That takes more than one person changing his mind, so one could even imagine it being less risky (I don't think it is with crypto specifically).

I would argue there's a lot more risk here. With bitcoin you have the risk of satoshi coming back and selling all his coins flooding the market, or any major player exiting really. You have the risk of a government full or partial ban. I consider all of these pieces in the value of owning it. The difference is I don't know about all these controlling interests, in stocks case I know every person with more than a 10% share

---

DPOblivion beat us all.

Red Sox I think you are making a fundamental misunderstanding. As a shareholder im ok as long as I make as much money as possible.

As long as the company/controlling interest is doing what it believes is best to achieve that i'm fine with it.

If that means no dividends because they have better use of it elsewhere i'm fine with that since it means the value will go up.
If they think that no dividends is better for them but I disagree but the market agrees or is neutral I might sell the stock and move elsewhere but that's just because I don't believe in the company anymore, nothing to do with best interest.
If they think that no dividend is better and the market vehemently disagrees and the price tanks then you get into lawsuit territory that likely ends with them reversing the decision.

Whether the company is controlled by one person or many my stance in all of those scenarios is the exact same. At the end of the day its about the company, its underlying's and expectations of the future. I will not agree with every decision but I bought a stock, not a whole company.

Colegreen, could you define what you mean by underlying value?

Theres a lot that goes into it
If you want to look purely at current value you can look at current assets, current liabilities, value of the brand.
If you want to look at what people actually consider you look at the above plus their revenue numbers as well as their gross profit.
If you want to look even further you look at other factors such as management team, expectations of growth/decline etc.
