I second Ged and Zindabad, and also suggest Pale Mage and Kraj.
All these.
EDIT: + Cyan!
Kraj was part of the Council at one point, IIRC. He most likely dropped out due to an already large MTGS workload. If he is willing to resume his duties, we would all be much obliged.

The game is not being dumbed down. Control is doing fine; Draw-Go is not the only kind of control. Aggro is doing fine; Red Deck Wins is not the only kind of aggro. Creature combat is an important core concept and belongs in every color. Mythic rarity is not destroying the game. People whine too much for no good reason. Magic is more popular than ever, so keep calm, brew some decks and play some damn cards.
If I remember correctly you asked me previously if I wouldn't mind serving sometime in the future; at the time I said I would be honored, and I still would be, though I feel I am not involved as I was and that furthermore there are roughly infinity other people who'd be better than me for such a position. That said, I would like to see kpaca on the council.
Kraj was part of the Council at one point, IIRC. He most likely dropped out due to an already large MTGS workload. If he is willing to resume his duties, we would all be much obliged.
I would still love to be on the Council, but I'm not sure if that would be allowed with me being an inactive player(though I still read this forum every day or three).
Cyan is the only person that while reading his posts in the thread I think is already on it.
I didn't know he wasn't.

Ged and Cyan for sure. Lots of other names to consider (we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to thoughtful and experienced players/mods/reviewers), but those two would be at the top of my list.

No offense to anyone on the council, but most of them don't play many mafia games anymore. You'd fit right in. Add in Cyan to my list as well.

Umm, I nominate Seppel, Burstinatrix, Joboman, Vezokpiraka, ~tilde~, and possibly Chamber.
I actually would be ok with Cyan, Ged, and this Zindabad guy, maybe Pale Mage, there's a bunch of people that we can't go wring with. seppel. seppel. seppel. seppel. seppel. seppel.

For reference, it took them a while to get around to mine, too. I believe I PM'd them directly.
In other news, I'm thinkin about keeping a running tally in here of, "failgimmicks".
A "failgimmick" is one that outs itself accidentally. This does not include, for example, the recent "Beary" gimmick as that player outted themself deliberately.
It does include when a player forgets to switch accounts or outs themself in some sort of blatent way. Can anyone remember any notable examples before I get on a roll? (No this is not directed at recent revelations, I promise :), although it did remind me.)

BlueElectric who was Iso and I was told from the start by him
The minstrel who was wheat
I'm not sure of others
The artists formerly known as The Doctor, TheFlameKing. I thought of two more, but I think they chose to out themselves so I'll skip them
That makes 4 so far.

I played one or two games with a gimmick. It was fun since I am pretty sure nobody recognized me. As for the gimmick, well only one other person knows (since I told them), and he/she won't tell. Let the speculation begin.
The Doctor chose to out himself at the end of Twilight as Amb. Laquatus aka Clock King, IIRC.
IBYRI since The Doc has slipped in a few games now. But I'm too lazy/busy to look.

KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.
Loran16 as GrakthisIsAGod (I may have misspelled that), caught by DYH because of his idiosyncratic spelling of "rediculous".
Every Nakamura gimmick and every Jordman gimmick.
I'll call that 5 for sure.
Jordman was before my time; and besides Burstinatrix (:mad:) how many are we talkin' that actually got to play a while?

Loran got busted for that by Cyan in Kraj's blind Hamlet Mafia as well. Cyan wasn't playing, but he correctly guessed Loran very early on. I suppose it technically doesn't count because the gimmick was compulsory....
I believe Iso is right, I also believe you own her an apology

I mean it seems like %85 of the Gimmicks are one of the Trio of Iso\Amby\Naka.
I hate Gimmicks
Of course now That I said that I wanna bust out a gimmick and try a lurkier playstyle.
Because the point of a gimmick is to try a new playstyle not just annoy people with your gimmickness.
You'll never pull it off.
Of all the people on here that have... how did ZDS put it... an idiosyncratic posting style, you are the arguably most distinctive and recognizable.
Matter of fact, I dare you pull it off without getting caught. Triple DOG dare yA!

"...a talisman against all evil, so long as you obey me."
This is certainly true. I can't actually remember the last game Ged played in.
The thing is that older, more experienced members tend to play in fewer games. It's sort of the difference between one and zero for most of them (us).
Tired of corporate corruption ruining your favorite MtG site?

In reality, Azrael wants the new additions to be more active than the current members are. Which eliminates pretty much everyone, heh.
I wouldn't mind seeing Emo get on there, though. He is still fairly active. And maybe AsianInvasion.
I'd love to help out around the subforum, but I think Emo is more qualified. Not sure how much he has on his plate, though.
I'm sure you'd come out of hiatus just for us, wouldn't you, Cyan?
