Well congrats, but why did you have to leave all that stuff?
Thank you. To answer your question: Because I have 30% less space in the new place, so I had to get rid of some stuff or I would barely be able to move around.

Eh, I've seen no evidence that anyone in [CMB] legitimately cares about how clan contests turn out.
I concur. Especially since the past year or twos contests have gone downhill in my opinion.
Now, the [CMB] tournaments are a different matter. We should figure out what should be done with those. Been a moment since the last one.
We've always been on the fence with those. Do we want multiple ones through out the year, or do we just want one at the very end of the year. I remember one time we discussed doing 2/year, one in summer, one in winter. We are getting close to the time I figured we could do a summer one. Shall we discuss this?
@FeralHydra: Hello and welcome to CMB. I concur with therestless on the deck list. Give that a go and see how you like it and keep posting here. We love company! I will add you to the minion category. Once your deck gets optimized and you reach the required post count, we will admit you to our glorious ranks!
So in other news, I had a mishap at work last week. Its an interesting story, actually.
I work at a department store (for now. The post-graduation job hunt is not going as quickly as I had hoped). So, I was helping one of our girls put some excess glue on the top shelf. She was on the ladder and I handed the boxes up. Well, the box gave out from underneath and the bottles fell. One burst open and got on my glasses. I tried wiping some off on my shirt, but couldnt get it all until I got to the bathroom to use water. So I get to the bathroom and the glue is already dried. My right lens is just covered in white glue.
So I reported it to my manager, and after we called my eye doctor, we discovered that no one would replace the lens since my prescription expired three months ago. So, doing the best I could, I had to use some serious chemicals to get the glue off the lens. I ended up getting distracted by some old guy asking questions and I left it sit on their too long. The chemical ate into my lens. Ate. Into. My. Lens. My vision is pretty obscured in the one lens.
So now I had to go to the eye doctor, and while I wait for my new glasses, I am currently experiencing something interesting: My first round with contacts. It took me an hour to get them in this morning.....

If you can get over having to stick a piece of glass in your eye every morning, contacts are the second best thing going for vision correction. You get perfect peripheral vision and you don't get **** on your lenses and you can wear sunglasses easily... The only thing better is surgery (I plan to go that route as soon as we have the disposable income for it).
I never got over the glass in eye thing, so I stuck with glasses.

Well, signups for the clan mafia contest are up. Do we have a player for this one?
In the past SA has taken the job, but it sounds like you may be a bit busy.
Really not sure what client to continue the contest on. From the sound of it, none of the clients used before are getting actively supported. Probably need to figure that out before we talk about format and schedule.
When I used glasses (that is 7 years ago) I used to get quite unlucky with them too, so I ended up with some self-assembly glasses, was quite hilarious actually. Luckily for me my vision got better over the course of time (I got no idea why, it just happened) so I don't need glasses anymore (well, technically I am still +0.2 on both eyes, but I don't need glasses because of that). I never wanted to use contacts either, the thought about sticking things into my eyes never appealed to me...
@Dechs Mafia is a game where you are either a townie or a mafioso, the goal for the townies is to wipe out the mafioso and vice versa. The cacth is: The townies do not know who the mafioso is, but they still have to lynch a person they believe is one on a daily basis.

I vote we do multiple a year. They are always fun (though I've never participated due to time constraints. (this time I plan on it). I like the idea of doing one soon. For format, I'd throw Modern into the ring

I refuse to do contacts. I've tried it before and hated every minute of it. Glasses for me until death.
"MAFIA MAFIA MAFIA..."
I generally dislike the game. We've played it before at college and it just... I don't like it lol.
@Dechs. I like your new avatar. idk how old it actually is but it's the first time I'm noticing it.
With E3 in full swing, as a playstation guy, I'm pleased. Nothing crazy, lots of obvious shots at the xbox one. Interesting day indeed. Excited for the new Final Fantasy, and excited for plants vs. zombies 2. VERY interested to see what becomes unearthed today. I'm hoping for some FFX HD info but I'm not counting on it :/
What do you guys like about the new console stuff? and yea, I know not all of you console game but figured an unbiased opinion wouldn't hurt :-p
EDIT So I was just told that the shop loved the MM draft so much they're doing another $21 MM draft... I love this shop sometimes lol

As someone that has been xbox since the original xbox i am saving my money to get a computer. after that a few years in i will probably get a ps4 I just can't do xbox anymore. Microsoft is too full of itself and it's raping gamers up down and sideways. And for the most part we take it. but the xbox one is too much for me and a lot of other people i know.
Does each clan only get one person to participate in the Mafia game? If so, that sounds like it could be a terribly small town.
Either way, I'm interested if no one else is. I'm just not experienced at all.

There's a link to the previous clan mafia contest if you wanted to browse that. Just try not to do anything that gets your character modkilled.

Did you see what they're doing with the European release? Everyone across the pond gets to pay an extra ~160USD. If Sony hadn't even shown up to E3, PS4 would still be considered the winner.

That's just...wow. How much more they can do before we just give a collective middle finger to them? Microsoft has, in my opinion, become a very isolated company in terms of development. They care too much about what they think people want without ever asking us what we want.
I feel that a better option then the "no used discs" would have been to support the free to play format. Games that let anyone play but if you want the extras you pay real money for them. I feel like that is the true future of gaming. Of course that would mean that they would have to cut down on the bloated cost of game development. We don't need every game to have a new engine. Every game doesn't need to be the future of the industry. It just needs to have a good hook/story, replay and/or decent multi-player, and have semi decent graphics for the time. That's what makes a good game. I would still play FF10 and Star Ocean Till the end of time if I had access to the games. They were very deep unlike many of the current games.
And this life on the go Bull crap they keep pushing down our throats is getting to me. If my life is so freaking hectic that I can't sit down and pick up a controller for a few minutes I wouldn't put that much money into a "GAMING" console in the first place. They need to remember people buy computers to go online and do chatting they buy a xbox to play games.
The PS4 will also have a markup overseas, but it's price starts $100 lower so that's a bit more palatable.
As to free-to-play being the future of gaming... That's a treacherous path.
Some companies do F2P correctly and have a high quality game to go along with it. They are rewarded for their success. Path of Exile is the best F2P implementation I've personally dealt with, followed by Tribes: Ascend and League of Legends.
People want to emulate that success, but it's way too easy to get it wrong. Free-to-play becomes the more predatory pay-to-win and everything goes to ****.
Does each clan only get one person to participate in the Mafia game? If so, that sounds like it could be a terribly small town.
That's not how it works. The town (in this specific game) will consist of 9 players and the mafia will have 3 players, all randomly selected from the list of 12 players that sign up. You'll have to cooperate with the other clans to eke out the bad ones.

lol, Mafia sounds interesting but I dont know how to play? Ill look back through some of the post to see if someone explained it I will join if I find out
I unloaded all my Vaults in an attempt to get Bobs and it worked lol. Score 1 for me The reprint fairy was kind to me this time.
Still deciding what Standard deck to play. Honestly have no idea... They all look so... $200 for Voice of Resurgence for me to build ya know I do want to kind of build some sort of crypt ghast lilli deck but I honestly have no idea where to start :/ I could do like Jund Ghast with revenger or Esper Ghast with sphinx's... so many decision.. BLARG!!! I could even do like, asper splash lilli and run both. hmmmmm... Maybe I'll brew up a list and post it later... I may have just solved my problem
What are people most excited about from E3? Personally I like PvZ 2 (not the fps) and the little FFX HD blips they showed (basically screen shots and confirming the release date for later this year). Very excited for the HD edition

Definitely Titanfall.

Tom Clancy's Division. Wow.
Also, pretty unhappy that the Black walker for M14 is Dark Realms and the Blue is Memory Adept.

Yeaaaa, I know, I'm all alone with my liking of the consoles. I am both a console and PC gamer (Though gamer is a stretch). I'm sure you remember our tiny spout with D3 and how 'skilled' I was. I just don't put in enough time to get good at these games :/ They're fun, but people generally get frustrated with me sadly. which is the sole reason I REFUSE to play FPSs anymore.
I do actually like consoles, but I find them to be less convenient than computer gaming. I have my 360 and PS2, but I haven't turned on my TV in over a year. I don't need a console that's also some comprehensive entertainment device. The computer has been doing that longer and the tools for it are much more developed. I have Steam, Battle.net, Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Video. Why I want anything else?
I haven't gotten to play any two-person fighters in a while, but that's the only loss I can think of.
So, if we want to do a Clan Tournament again, now is the time to do it. Mafia usually takes quite a long time, so this is something we can do to keep the other members who aren't playing mafia involved in inter-clan affairs, which is why I created the tournament in the first place.
The last one was BYOS, and while I like that, I think our summer tournament should be different. Perhaps we can go back to it in the winter, since it was a big hit. As for now, are there any nominations for format?
Once we decide, I'll contact the mods. They liked the idea last time, so I hope they'll be on board again.
As for Mafia, I am not going to represent us this time. I technically have the time for it, but most of that time is away from my computer, so I literally would have pages to read each night to get caught up on. That is something I just can't do. Dechs, if you want it, you can represent us. I have an inkling you'll do a fine job at it.
So in other news, I went to my first FNM in years last Friday. Played Dos Rakis. Went 2-2 and got 4th. Literally, matches 2 and 3 went to 3 games, and in game 3, bad draws got me. In Round 2, my 3rd game started strong, but when you draw into 3Mizzium Mortars and 3 Dreadbore, you can't quite pull the trigger to end the game. Round 3 was just as bad. I got my opponent to 4 life, but then proceeded to draw into 2 Thundermaw Hellkites and was stuck on 4 land. He was playing Bant Hexproof, so he was able to go on the offense pretty quickly and end the match. Aside from that, I was very comfortable with the games I played. Only caught myself making two play mistakes all night, so thats not bad for being rusty at Standard. Next time, I'm playing Gruul though. Or a control deck, but I have to get searching for stuff for those...
