Semsith on eBay

Strictly FYI: There's a Meddling on eBay. 3 days left, it's going for $24.50. I predict it'll close above $40, and I wouldn't be surprised if it broke $50. gomi -- Blood, guts, guns, cuts Knives, lives, wives, nuns, sluts

Maybe I'll go to the Storyline Chicago, after all. That'll make 4 Meddlings that I can sell for $50 each... Regards, Noal

[ quoted text not captured ] What I find 'amazing' (well, only a little, but still). I'm Mr. Anonymous-has-only-been-a-prince-for-one-month, and I decide to host a Storyline Tournament. WW, being the loving people they are, send me a prize package - and 30 Meddlings to distribute. Do the math. 30 Meddling * $ 50 = mucho dinero. I'm somewhat touched by the faith WW has in all us princes. Therefore, I would like to say (I guess on behalf of all of us): "WW": Thanks much!" Tobias Deventer P.S. Of course, I am an ethical being. The Meddlings are going to my players this upcoming weekend, and any I have left over will be additional prizes in future tourneys. I want to make it clear that I am NOT encouraging anyone to think larcenous thoughts, if you keep MoS for yourself as a prince, you are a lowly bottom-feeder. (And, like most WW books say: most well-adjusted people won't need this disclaimer. Those that do: go read a book on ethics, that you bought somewhere.) > > Regards, > Noal

And I thought it was stupid that the Carrion Coffins were going for 8 bucks. Yaa! Chase power promos! Going for $25.00 each! That is *always* good for a game environment!

Dan Murdock used to go for big figures on eBay, remember (it broke US$30 at one point - after it had been distributed willy-nilly at tournaments, cons, and free for the asking via SASEs - I forget what height it actually reached). Or do you consider him a power promo as well? The fact that Meddling is a promo-only (and currently only available at Feb. Storyline tournaments) is sufficient to explain the price on eBay. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

Paying $30.00 for Dan Murdock is likely to get you nothing but a complete set, which might be important to you, but isn't going to affect your ability to win games--the "12 Dan Murdock Deck" isn't likely to make any significant impact on the game environment, and in all likelyhood, will just get you killed. Semsith is a power promo. Paying $30.00 each for a handfull of Meddlings is likely to get you a very powerful deck that will have a significant impact on the game environment. The constant attempts to compare Meddling to Dan Murdock really don't go anywhere--yes, they are both limited circulation promo cards that provide unique abilities to one extent or the other. But where Dan Murdock is essentially equivelant to an elready existing vampire but has a corner case special ability that is unlikely to have significant impact on the game environment, let alone a particular game, Meddling is a powerful card that will have a significant impact upon any game it is successfully played in, let alone the environment as a whole. >>The fact that Meddling is a promo-only (and currently only available at Feb.

Didn't you used to have a "civilian" e-mail that you used to respond in a non official fashion? It seems kind of silly that you feel it is neccessary to respond to random, snarky complaint not directed at anyone in particular with an "official" response. [ quoted text not captured ]

I happened to look at Dan Murdoch again recently and discovered that his disciplines were a perfect fit for a deck I was building. And the Giant's Blood schtick seems quite strong as Giant's Blood is itself a strong card which has shown up in many tournament winning decks. On the other hand, I've yet to be really impressed by Meddling. I have four copies of the card now but can't see me ever doing more than splashing a single copy into a deck - a toolbox option to hose decks that cycle like crazy. IMO, Dan Murdoch is the more powerful promo. I have the impression that thousands were put into circulation but the price has held up quite well (I paid $8). Andrew

Do my eyes deceive me, or is this a challenge? If I can make Clan Loyalty into an extremely effective card, I can do wonders with Danny Boy. *ponders* Can I use a 6 Dan Murdock and 6 Uriah Winter crypt? Regards, Noal

Boy if that promo card is released anywhere else...like scryre...I would feel pretty dumb for shelling out $30 bucks. Andrew S. Davidson <a...@csi.com> wrote in message news:<852DDCF84565684B.9D97B2D0...@lp.airnews.net>... [ quoted text not captured ]

A challenge indeed! >>*ponders* Can I use a 6 Dan Murdock and 6 Uriah Winter crypt?>> Seems fair--that way we'll have less moaning about "But *I* don't have *12* Dan Murdocks! How can I compete!" That, and they make a nice looking pair. I'd hand out with both of them. They'd make me feel manly. [ quoted text not captured ]

Well Peter, your so far wrong. Semsith is currently selling for 29$. Its got aways to go to hit 50$, but I think it could happen. Raille
