73 A werechameleon just showed up at my fortress. Which looks like it's really going to stink for me, as I have literally no military and no way to keep it from getting into my fortress. The few traps I've laid are useless against werebeasts; I do have a door to close off the main entrance, but there's a secondary and much longer entrance right next to it that I haven't gotten around to trapping yet and there's also a tunnel leading to some spot a few floors below where I haven't yet gotten around to putting in a well. There is a floodgate down there, but there's no lever attached to it yet, which I think means it's open.

My only hope is that I can delay the werechameleon long enough that I can cobble together an ad hoc militia and arm them with the half-dozen crossbows and quivers that randomly appeared in my stockpile at some point. Hopefully they can knock out the werechameleon before it can infect anyone.

73 it seems that mtg now has a difference between colorless mana and colorless mana. Reason: apparently colorless mana was confusing (like this isn't /s)

74 it has to do with generating colorless mana and spending colorless mana for example
{tap}:add {3 colorless} mana to your mana pool
and
{3 colorless} mana:untap this card
had 2 meanings with the colorless mana, at first it was add 3 colorless mana that could only be used as colorless mana and the second one is spend 3 mana of any type. Thus they decided to make a symbol for colorless mana making this card probably read something like this
{tap}:add {C} {C} {C} to your mana pool
and
{3 colorless} mana:untap this card

so.....yea....I get the idea, however I fear for confusion with older cards.
they apparently also changed it slightly that if a card has "{C}: do something stupid" (which will exist) you can spend only, and I really mean only colorless mana on it thus mtg has effectively 6 colors now, white,blue,black,red,green and colorless but don't be afraid as colorless is technically not a color (its the lack of one) mtg has still technically 5 colors :p. (and before you say that colorless is not a color as there are no basic lands for it, apparently the new set will have basic lands without a type that generate colorless mana(thus the {C}))
