Yep this morning the second and final season of The Punisher hit Netflix. We all know within days that Netflix will announce there will be no further series of The Punisher. Just as they did after the other Marvel licences hit. We all know why they are being dropped. And we all hope that Disney/Marvel pick up the shows and run with them.
But in the meantime we get to enjoy the show and cry at the end that we want more, knowing we won’t get them.
Although I’m not attending the midnight one today, it’s the start of Prerelease weekend for Ravnica Allegiance tonight. I am attending the Prerelease tomorrow morning. Which starts at 11am, and runs to about 4pm. It’s looking like there will be over twenty attending the session I’m going to. It will be good to see some faces that I only get to see at these events, and hopefully the WotC tournament software will give us a chance to play against each other.
Plus there is the fortnightly Fenland Gamers meetup this evening at The Luxe. It’s promising to be a good one with plenty of banter. Especially between Jonathan and myself over a rule in the Wingspan Rulebook that some-one asked about this morning on Facebook. I hope Jonathan is going to be wearing fireproof underwear and clothes because he is getting burned tonight.
So that’s my current weekend plans, what’s yours?

You have used the word ‘we’ six times in the above quote. Who is this ‘we’? Do you have a ghost-writer penning this blog for you. Perhaps you mean Nico? If none of those apply, I don’t think ‘we’ means what you think it means :D
And what’s this, writing about your cheating WIngspan ways? OK, it’s hardly a confession, but it’s close enough for me ;)
Royal we. Not my cheating. I plainly announced my actions and the cards I was activating. If you are unable to keep an eye on your board and activate your cards as and when, then don’t lay your bad memory from old age at my feet. Plus it’s unreasonable to expect opponents to know your triggers on other players turns. Especially if the player is on the opposite side of the table. I’ll give you that that game we were playing you were next to me. But I was more interested in my board, not yours. So it’s on you.
I think the official Wingspan rulebook disagrees with you…
It says should not must. But if as I said I’m paying attention to my board not yours. I clearly announce what I’m doing, Step by step. Remembering what is on every other players board is unreasonable. Especially if they are not within easy reading distance. Pace of game. You should be aware of your board and what’s going on. This rule takes away your responsibility of paying attention. But if it helps you get to sleep, thinking you could have won if only… then so be it. But we all,know the truth, you are getting old and forgetful.
Honestly though, banter aside, I do sometimes have trouble keeping up with what you are doing on your turns (game dependant, of course). In Heaven & Ale, I actually had great difficulty in following what was activating/triggering on your board as you tend to play quite fast at times :)
I think you need to play more MtG. Do you not use the downtime to plan your move?
More importantly 5 tonight so what do we play? Wingspan?
In fact it could be seen as you deliberately cheating by not remembering your have an action you can take and not taking it, and trying to trick other players into not mentioning it, and therefore claiming they cheated.
