You can totally still play RPG Launcher without any Ongoings or Environment cards in play.
You can, but you won't deal damage.
Im pretty sure the damage is not dependant on the destruction.
It definitely involves an "If you do"
I agree (and want the ziggurat to continue).
At the start of your forum turn you may hit Quote.If you do continue the Ziggurat.
Since I am on my cell phone, I hate you all.
Fueled by your hatred, the tower grows ever skyward.
I am intrigued to see that it only bolds the first two names in the magnificent structure, I wonder why?
I'm really beginning to think the forum needs to have a "no quote-towers" rule.
Why would you say that?
Envisioner fears the ziggurat. WE'VE FOUND HIS WEAKNESS!
This is pathetic.

I see your point about total damage, but Unload is no where near as good as Lightspeed in practice. Why? you might ask. Because Tachyon has card cycle built into her deck and can put mulitple burst cards in her trash a turn and 1/2 of the cards in her deck quallify. If I see Tachyon go through a game where she plays fewer than 2 LSBs and any of them do fewer than 12 points of damage it is almost shocking.
Expat on the other hand. Well I've playerd her more than 20 times and am seeing results like Donner. I HAVE seen her Unload with more than two guns out, like 2-3 times in 20 plays.
So in one case it happens multiple times per game, in the other it happens once every 8 games or so.
I see that you acknowledge this in the last sentence of your post, so I guess it is about how the rating system is done. If you are going to rate a card on how effective it is in the game, I give LSB a really high score and a Unload a really low score.
The number of copies of the one-shot is considered. I don't consider the deck mechanics, as there is a whole section devoted to that. What I consider is if you have the card, what is the value of that card in different situations. Unload can exceed LSB early game, late game LSB is better single target, while Unload is generally far more versatile in what it accomplishes. One requires your trash to get stacked and not shuffled, the other requires gun cards in play.
I put them at even. The fact that Tachyon's mechanics enable her to pull off LSB twice as often (average estimation) as Expat and Unload does not factor into the one-shot ranking.
Why not?

Could one of the admins change the thread title to "Giant text ziggurats (was: An attempt to make hero ratings)" so that the un-interested parties (notably those with mobile phones) can avoid it?
For the first time I'm viewing this on a 1024-wide monitor instead of an 800, so it's slightly less annoying than usual, and possibly even slightly cool. But I still think the people who are continuing to expand the ziggurat, even after people who phone-read complained, are being kind of jerks. (I know, black pot-kettles and glass-house stone-throwers.)

There is Victory in many places, but most of them are in New England.
So we have to pick which one?

Well, it is hard to get to multiple places at once, normally you need a single destination.
I pick... sometime next week. Whenever we start Sentinel Tactics playtesting. ... No one said it couldn't be a TEMPORAL destination, rather than a PHYSICAL one.

W're going to need a second Ziggurat?
Well, this one now has the earliest posts pushed off the side of my (actually rather large) monitor screen, so that might be a good plan

I can't wait till we eventually break the horizontal scrolling, I mean it has to happen at some point, right?

Yes, but how far can the horizontal lines go before something snaps?

It's getting hard to scroll to the bottom of this thread.
I just press the 'end' key, though admittedly this doesn't work if there are multiple new posts... unless you read the last few quoted texts too.

My mouse has a scroll wheel with a button next to it that detaches the clicky gear thing in it, so at the click of a button I can have a free-spinning scroll wheel. Makes fast scrolling super easy.
