Yeah well...goes with what I was feeling I guess.
Lots going in here over the past few weeks. I've read through the posts and I'm on the fence for the other peeps. We'll see where they go from here and make determination revisits in a few months.
Got a Grand Prix coming to town in a couple weeks. Gonna play some token *****es and see what I can pump out. Pretty much gotta go X-2 to make day 2. Made day 2 at the last GP I played in DC. Looking for a good showing here.
DUX has returned to the site....wow....been a while.
Glad you're working Nick...don't **** it up this time!

Come on Yuk..
It was a joke man, you know me well enough to know that, no need for ill tone. I'm the one who put "Being an Admin, he only has time for an occasional bathroom break" in your Bio.
This is why I don't think I could ever do what all you guys do.
I think obligation would take away the fun of posting at a forum.
Kpimpsta' - Why you gotz no Mod title? Just a non-offical Gutt thing?
J'eds - Oh.. looks like we got the same question in the batcave.

Sorry about that. I honestly didn't intend to have my post be as *****y as it was.
Arg...Life sucks...okay it doesn't at all. But it's both going aggravatingly slow while maintaining a pace that I can't keep up with. Two diametrically opposed properties that should cause the universe to implode. Bah!
I'm going to maintain a semi-hiatus state until I get my act together. Thesis reviews are due, defense needs to happen at the end of the month, I need to do more carpet bombing applications than crovax to out compete him, and I need to work more cause I'm down to my last two months of funds.
Conference was awesome as usual. We're kind of a smallish professional community, with only 1500 attending the international meeting. The undergrads in my range club...which I think is all of them except me...rocked it by winning several awards and getting very high placements in a variety of contests.
I missed the climate change talk, which I regret cause it was apparently somewhat controversial (But didn't have anyone foaming at the mouth like last years wolf talk). One guy pointing at all the unknowns that throws a wrench in every prediction model out there. I did make it to an interesting talk on C4 and C3 plants which I think had results opposite from my own understanding...but I kind of fell asleep in that one so I'm not sure.
er...in other geeky news?
I went to the prerelease...Got both Olivia and Bloodline Keeper and figured I I had the nuts. And I did win most of the time. Got smashed by a Red/Green deck that ran all his rares sans one, we're talking the 1 drop rare green werewolf, the double striker, and the brawler...plus some other incredible goodies. yeah, he went 5-0. Then I lost to a mirror match to a girl that had everything I had except the rares. Just luck of the draw really. She asked if I wanted to draw at the beginning....which confused me cause we were both 3-1...I didn't think 3-1-1 would get into the prize range.
Found time to play pathfinder...where I died. Apparently a level 3 archer can't take 38 damage in one hit. I guess holding my ground when the level 5 fighter cowers away was a bad idea.
Cheers,
Daggertooth

And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.
Dux, I swear to god you made the exact same post as that around two years ago but I can't be assed to search for it.
...and that trip back to the first [Called] thread was terrifying. I have no clue why you guys accepted me back then. I wouldn't let the old me into the clan.
The [Called] are: (13/13)
I'm not 100% savvy on the clan history, but isn't this the first time in forever that we've had a full roster?
I'm not 100% savvy on the clan history, but isn't this the first time in forever that we've had a full roster?
Naw....Ria way back when was the unnofficial 13th member before he became the official 13th member....not sure if we even had an official number back then. Then again I'm uncertain if he really did become the unofficial 13th member because he joined around the same time JJ did, right after the whole drama with MTGnews. I don't think we survived that completely intact. Oh I think most of us made an appearance or two to show we were active, but I don't remember how long some of us, like bellowing fool and sakatabu, lasted after the change.
I think our numbers really dropped around the time that Alex+, Belgareth, and Binary Angel left. Hadn't really been back to full strength till recently.
Of course that also depends on our "sometimes" list. Since "some" people in this clan post maybe once every other thread.
Cheers,
Daggertooth

So i'm just along for bites on apps. I'm gonna get something. Question is when.:monty:

Got home from Sydney today, back to the real world. I drank a lot of beer and ate a lot of good food and saw a lot of good art! Brisbane sucks, I need to move to Sydney ASAP.
Can I come too CharD?
I likes themz down under girls.
Ria knows what I'm talkin' he was born in the states, just look at him now. ->
Good thing you were in Sydney, seems everyone is still in the batcave.
Wait, did I lock everyone in there?!!...
..whoopsy, doopsy..
Now Called is mine, ALL MINE!!! - Bwah‘Hahahaha..
I begin my reign with a card from The Vault:
Water Araneae - GU
Creature – Spider (R)
Reach
Whenever Water Araneae blocks a creature, put a +1/+0 counter on it.
Whenever Water Araneae deals combat damage to a player, put target permanent on top of its owner’s library.

Are you a pilot or a creator??
[B][COLOR="Sienna"]Good thing you were in Sydney, seems everyone is still in the batcave.
Funny you mention batcave, I recently purchased Batman: Arkham City after beating Asylum months back. So far I'm having fun with it, it seems like a much deeper experience than Asylum but something about it seems off... it's still a good game but I think I like Asylum more at this point.
Also have a history assignment and math homework that I am still procrastinating on.... it's the beginning of the semester though so they're not huge...
I am also thinking about joining a band with some friends of mine, but the problem is that they seem to want to play music that I'm not too fond of (Blink182 kind of stuff.... so punk rock I suppose?). Should I just join to have fun? (The whole point of me joining....) or just not bother.
Anybody who still wants a mini-demon'd av, lemme know. I took a break on the weekend & came back to having received my real admin powers so now my plate is pretty full of Stuff I Could Do To Improve the Site
Meanwhile, let's get the judging done blah blah et cetera
I really, really shouldn't use MWS. I think being anonymous turns me into an ******* and I just become one of THOSE mtg players, acting like a dick, thinking I'm the best... It's just so frustrating! Not having any kind of easy communication just makes it too hard. I have two weeks off work now, since we're renovating the store, so I am just going to spend the whole time at the local shop testing against real people.
Speaking of renovations, here is an image of the now empty shop:
It was a pretty awful couple of days after I got back from Sydney, moving all the shop fittings to a lockup in the centre carpark, and moving all the stock to the stockroom. All the while we took in around 30 grand and served about 600 customers. Since Thursday.
Congrats on real admin powers. I won't take an edited avvy, since mine is too hard to edit (I guess???). So I'll just put the .gif as my avatar.
Is there anyone in the clan with drawing ability? (these are the times I miss Alex+... he could really draw...)
We could use a bigger version of Smithy... Can I call him Smithy?
His 8-bit shapery is part of his charm. Just enlarge him.
Guhh....gotta long week ahead of me. On Friday we drive out to Ohio (8 hours) for my daughter's gymnastics tournament. We'll be there all weekend and we come back on Monday. Then I work 3.5 days next week and go to the Grand Prix here in Baltimore on Friday afternoon for some trading and warm up play! Just found out I have a first round bye at the GP from my play during the last season. Means I don't have to spend $25 trying grind for 3 byes. I'll settle for the 1 and be happy.
Store looks pretty boss there Charlie. Get that crapper into shape and get those customers happy and full of product.
nipples!

I'll take one to two wisking by as my Dux avy dives into steaming hot weatness!! I also wish the blue streaks around him had some sort of movement to make him appear to be diving down. But I don't want to have to thank someone in my sig for it ...I'm so vain.

Thanks DUX, Dt's I tried to give a little drunken swagger
I bought a box of DKA today. Pretty good haul, one Sorin, one Grafdigger's Cage, one Huntmaster of the Fells, one Voropede, one Drogskol Reaper, one Falkenrath Aristocrat, one Thalia, and a playset of each Captain. I also played Legacy tonight; went 1-2, playing Dredge. I love legacy more and more each time I play it, but I keep making big errors with Dredge, I guess I'll get used to it eventually.
I can't sleep. Trying to figure out what to play in Type 2 but everything just seems so boring. I wish this meta had a place for combo decks. I like the idea of Bant Pod, but I dunno... I have proxied up a GR Werewolves deck, it's pretty fun, but I want to be able to place in tournaments, too, and I don't know how strong it would be. Mono G Aggro is grabbing me too, but it's pricey - a hundred bucks for the Garruks alone.
Yeah well...goes with what I was feeling I guess.
