Meaningless!
Evil dominant
Discard any card in play, set aside, in deck, discard pile or Land of Redemption with a 2 John reference
Ecclesiastes 1:2 "Meaningless! Meaningless!"
says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless."
I'd like the card image to be the Redemption logo divided by zero. Don't feel like making the full 'shoop.

FioHP is useful now. ET+That=win the battle.

Meaningless 3: Protect all lost souls from rescue for three turns. Decrease all characters in play by X.
X = number of no special ability O.T. human heroes in your territory.

Here's the one we need:

Negate and Discard all spam currently in thread.
I like Meaningless enough, I think I'll make it.

What cards are 3rd John.

What cards are 3rd John.
There aren't any, that's the point of the card, lol.
-
Ohhhhhhhhhhh ok gotcha, now i love this card. :laugh:
-
Though watch a super-powerful 3 John card come through in Apostles 3 next year.
-
So, what exactly happens when you discard a card already in the discard pile?

You better come up with a proof that 2=0 real quick, or Imma call you a liar.

a = b
a – b = 0
(a – b)/(a – b) = 0 / (a-b)
1*2 = 0*2
2=0

so now, the point of this thread is meaningless.

Isn't it II John?

a = b
a – b = 0
(a – b)/(a – b) = 0 / (a-b)
1*2 = 0*2
2=0

I'm doubting some of your transitions in that equality. Let me try:
a = b
a^2 = ab
a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2
Factor difference of squares...
(a - b)(a + b) = b(a-b)
Divide by common denominator...
a + b = b
Substitute b for a, since a = b...
b + b = b
2b = b
2 = 1
It's not quite 2 = 0, but with a little manipulation, you could probably get there :)

/facepalm
I really need to shoot the thing in my head that's pretending to be my brain. Then I need to find my actual brain again.
-
Isn't it II John?
Yes.
-
And here we have the problem. (a-b)(a+b) is really a^2 - 2ab - b^2. You are missing the middle term.
Oops, that must be why I teach science and not math.
(a - b)(a + b) = b(a-b)
Divide by common denominator...
a + b = b
There's the real problem. The "common denominator" there is (a-b) which is 0 based on the given that a=b. Therefore you are dividing by zero which is impossible. Very nicely done though :)

I put 2 John in the first place. What are you guys talking about?
WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

a^2 - b^2
Factor difference of squares...
(a - b)(a + b)
And here we have the problem. (a-b)(a+b) is really a^2 - 2ab - b^2. You are missing the middle term.
Not quite. Using FOIL method:
(a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - ab + ab - b^2
Combine like terms...
a^2 - b^2
Bonus points go to the person who can name the flaw in my equality :)
-
You mean besides dividing by 0?

Congratulations to browarod and Prof U for solving the riddle! browarod was first, so he wins 9001 bonus points. Unfortunately bonus points are pretty much worthless; in fact, they are worth $-1/20th of one cent, meaning you now owe me $4.50.

Geese guys this is all my fault i thought it was third john not second my bad but the question now is there a card from second john.

No. Second John is the only book of the Bible with no current Redemption cards. I'm pretty sure it's been that way ever since Obadiah was printed.

Almost as meaningless as a dominant with no special ability. Like New Jerusalem in a deck with no Son of God. Hmm, that'd be interesting. you just have to time it so you drop it before your opponent drops his with Son of God. (If played at the same time as...)

NJ would still be useful. You could play it with Presented before the Lord, or discard it to get rid of Sin in the Camp or Confusion of Mind.

spam. that card is the same as the one posted at the beginning of this here thread.
does that mean I'm meaningless?
