I feel too much responsibility for too many things.
Did I say that before? I forget. Today has been a mentally exhausting day.

Let build it up more! I heard that this version of Butcher2 will revolutionize not just the game, but our entire paradigm on game-design itself! I heard that Chuck Norris michael's Butcher can kill two stones with one bird...

I think the reading comprehension hint is important - I heard somebody tried playing it without carefully reading all the rules and ran into a divide-by-zero error.

I managed to transcribe my various design goals and notes; that's all. (Random work emergency calls, even when things aren't so bad by the time I get on, mess with me far more than they should.)
I should really go to sleep.
I'll try to work on this stuff tomorrow...

I've got the writeup mostly finished. There is one specific ability on his card that everybody is going to look at, fixate upon, and lose their minds about. I know, I checked. Before I post stuff, I want to set some ground rules about that ability, namely: Back up your claims with math. People are going to assert all sorts of wacky things as truth. If you do that, I'm going to need you to show your work. I'm also going to need you to acknowledge that theory and practice, while related, are not identical, and acknowledge that it's usually plausible that terrain and other factors will influence outcomes once models are on the table. Somebody's going to theorymachine up some crazy and implausible scenarios along the lines of Juris' "Haley2 beats everything all the time in every situation no matter what" arguments on the old forums. (Not picking on you if you're here, Juris, but c'mon, we were all there.) So, basically: it's going to be exactly like a normal day in CID. Anyway... Just be cool, m'kay?

Back up your claims with math. Math is OP.

I would rather launch baseless character assassinations at you instead. Like you said, just a typical day in CID.

So, all that is stopping me is deciding how to post this. Do I just post the card, do I post the card and my "in-depth dev talk" about why things are the way they are, or what? Decisions, decisions!

Just post the card and run giggling from the room...

Just post the card and run giggling from the room... If the card doesn't merit full on cackling* when leaving the room, all this build up won't be worth it.
*insane laughter or MWAH-HA-HA also acceptable.

Post the card so we people can see it without you explaining it, and see what conclusions they come to without your input.

Forget the rules, I will personally be upset if the card is not made with my custom card creator.

With this build up, I want a full CID entry. So, I want the card, the concept description (but not a long narrative...think: Pithly Like Pagani), and new concept art.
