No, he said Black was third in his post just above mine.
I thought it worked by adding all of them together? Someone votes [1] for Blue and another [2] for Blue and it gets a total of 3 at the tally. Then the one with the lowest number wins 1st place?

I think it works through instant run-off voting, where if the thing you prioritized most loses (meaning, it gets the least number of ones), your vote switches to the next one down the list that you have, and then the program rechecks the tally to find the next loser (this is why I wanted everyone to list all of the options in the order they were most comfortable with them/liked them the most, so that no matter how badly any given vote did, your choice would still matter, bringing the final vote to whichever one got the most overall support. end vote was red vs blue, with red wining by about 3-4 votes).
I'm not entirely certain though, since I'm not the one who made the program. for that you want Kinematics.

Unfortunately, most animals would not cooperate with his attempts to do this. A Phoenix would have attracted too much attention.

I find it concerning how difficult it is to argue with this logic.

The argument is we went red, we should already have enough firepower that our wish should probably be used on something that isn't more destruction.

Pfft, saying you have enough Dakka. You're funny.
There is a point though, too much Dakka and you start blowing up even the things you really didn't mean to.
Our character has no way of knowing other ways of obtaining magic are available. And I'm not sure if such a cold, logical approach suits her.

Some people don't like making everything explode all at once. Sometimes, they want to save something for later.
You don't have to procrastinate if you don't want to. Trying to avoid collateral damage is considered by many to be unnecessarily difficult.

Yes, because blowing up a city block isn't going to bring trouble in its own way.
If we could get something out of it via Black-type draining spells or something, that'd be another thing.
With magic public, doesn't that mean collateral damage has real consequences now?
I mean... I don't want to discourage us from making big booms, but unless QB is covering the costs someone has to pay for it.
... I WISH TO BE PROTECTED FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS!
edit: on the other hand: No collateral damage in a witch barrier.

"I wish to suffer no ill effects from explosons."
And yes, a bill from collateral damage counts as an ill effect.

No, but we do know she's lonely, and might want a wish that helps her make friends.
Course she could also still be feeling sad about herself and wish to be better, or to be able make a difference. There's a lot of wishes that feel pretty Red.

Since passion in general is Red, anything you feel enough for to essentially sacrifice your life for is essentially Red.
Emotion, action, chaos and generally self-centered to one degree or another, kind of. It is bordered by Green and Black, which is a bit misleading as well since Green's Society bit is nearer to White.
Anyone have that big Color Wheel that breaks down and shows where the traits of each color fall inside of them?

huh... thinking about it, just about all the colors have elements of sacrifice, don't they?
Red: willingness to sacrifice much for the sake of a cause.
White: willingness to sacrifice the self for the sake of the people.
Black: willingness to sacrifice much, including the people, for the sake of the self.
Green: willingness to sacrifice comfort and reason, for the sake of primal truth, a world of strength without lies.
Blue: willingness to sacrifice time and strength, for control and knowledge of what comes.

And all of them can be taken to far as well. Red into Anarchy, White into Greater Good Mentality and sacrafice of the few for the many, Black into sacrifice all for yourself and your goals, Green into... well Laws of Nature I guess with no Civilization, and Blue into Emotionless (and thus non-empathetic) pursuit of knowledge.
And more besides that I'm missing.
Relying on mana to get explosions seems like a big mistake to me. We're not going to have access to many mountains to bond with, and even if we find or research a suitable, cheap explosion spell we'll only be able to use it a few times per day. That's unacceptable in my eyes.
An explosion-based magical girl would be able to toss them out like nothing, comparatively.

We're playing MTG-esque, not actual MTG.

So we can probably assume general principles from the color pie, but best not to go looking up which cards in that color usually do what. It's gonna be on a more conceptual level, I think.
Uh, okay? My basic point is that we'll have vastly easier access and more explosions. Which should still be true.
