I doubt that they would do wedges in a Return to Ravnica. Rav is the iconic guilds set, we still call the color pairs by their Rav guilds to this day. Just like New Mirrodin had to have an artifact theme, I think that RtR will have a 2-color pairs theme. Wedges will probably be two blocks after RtR, "Huey" block. Or possibly even the block after that.

actually boros and azorius and the golgari and selesnya (since fon and jarad are married) almost makes sense. Didn't the boros take over the government from the azorius?
Effective immediately, I am stepping down as the leader of The Izzet.
This is not a decision I'm taking lightly, but it is one I feel I must make. My activity in the clan has dropped to levels that are not conducive for that of a leader, and I feel it is only fair for me to relieve my duties to someone else fitting for the job. Artifice has been doing a fantastic job thus far and I feel he would be an excellent person to be our new head of the clan.
I'm starting to feel how Rocker felt when he resigned as leader. I graduate college in about a month and I've been buried in the hunt for jobs. It is insane and stressful, to say the least.
That being said, I am not leaving the clan entirely. I will still be a member. I will just no longer be your leader. Hopefully everyone understands. I need to make sure that I have a stable real life after I'm done with school. That is orders of magnitude more important.

My major is in biology, with an emphasis in cell/molecular. As such, I've been mainly applying for a lot of lab-based jobs in hospitals and research-based companies. I've also been applying for government jobs as well; mainly in the Department of Fish & Wildlife and the BLM.
It's somewhat hard to focus on my studies for another month, because I know I'm just about done. I've been at this for just under 4 years and frankly I'm tired of school. I want to finish college strong though.
And on the topic of graduation, I give much congrats to AI for getting his degree in psychology. I'm mainly glad you got your degree in something useful instead of a liberal arts degree in *insert strange study here*. Good for you man!

Thanks for the kind words. I'm a bit hesitant to call my degree "useful" until I've actually put it to use, whether it's by getting into grad school or by getting a real job, but it sounds like you've got a bright future ahead of you, and I wish you the best.

I feel awkward now for going to college for an English degree.. >_> I hope to be a Creative Writer (the thought hadn't actually occurred to me until a teacher said I should be one or at least try.) I was originally intending to become an English teacher and move on to my Ph D and move on to the University level teaching. :I can't stand high school students too many idiots -_-
Sorry to hear about you Surging, but maybe this means there's an opportunity to be promoted ;D so I'll be looking out for that >_> I must ask though, is this the usual activity level of the clan, it seems like members are dwindling.

Aw man!
Well, I for one will miss your leadership. Part of the issue with this is organizing who is in charge. I mean I'll throw my hat in, but by no means do I feel comfortable taking over without input from the clan as a whole.
I was a spectator, not a player yo. We got there late through a communications snafu with the event people AND horrible, crippling levels of traffic. Still won, though
Well, that's a bit of a 'nath. Can't blame you, there, buddy. Thanks for helping out while you could, and congrats on your upcoming graduation!
This^^ as well.
AI, you interested in considering returning to your old position? Seems as good a time as any to ask....

Eh, when I was in school to be a teacher, I considered that. But I figured part of the point of being around idiots is to make them less idiotic when you're a teacher.

I, for one, am expecting a surge of new membership with the new Ravnica set. At least I hope so.
That being said, I think the clan is doing fine for the moment.
What's with the name change, man?? I mean, I dig it, but what brought it on?
A101 - Congrats on the position upgrade - you always did well at kicking into gear with looming contest deadlines! You are a good fit for clan leader.
Well, until this last one. Which I ran. And, uh, kinda went a little wonky.
That being said, thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'll wait to see where we are on active members and titles and how the clan feels about who should be in charge. No need to presume anything. I'm definitely not the longest standing member.
Congrats AI on graduating! I'll let you know about my Psychology undergrad, I got 4 offers from good universities so things are looking promising!
Awesome! Congrats to you as well, sir!

See the thing is.. I despise idiots -_- I could never teach an english class in highschool, I can barely handle being with my peers (there is rarely an intellectual thing said and if there is it is shot down quickly by the general populous) I would much rather have students that want to learn who have insights so that I may continue to learn through my career. I never want my learning to stagnate.. that's the izzet in me ;D

Very nice! My GPA isn't the best, having spent most of my freshman year playing Diablo II rather than do homework (:facepalm:), but I'm working on getting a volunteer position at the local retirement home for some experience in the field of social work. I hope to translate that experience into a more permanent position or use it to build my resume for when I do pursue a Master's Degree. Either way, work work work.

I'd split the duties with you, but being the sole head honcho is more work than I'd be willing to put in at this juncture.

I'm down.
As a first order of business, should we order an election? Maybe also look at promotions? I mean I can't rightly even be part-leader as an Acolyte, can I?

Stranger things have happened. If we end up sending enough members to the Portal with the next purge, you may very well end up being promoted.
Well, if my current clan ever implodes in drama then you'd have a returning Izzet
Holy crap, you're right...you used to be one of us. Then you became one of them.
Should we start a new thread to roll over to the change in leadership or let this one run its course? I've already sent A101 my recommendations for roster reorganization.
also on a really random note thinking about the etymology of moonfolk could it possibly be... moon people who play folk music... *imagines meloku and tamiyo with banjos* shudder... yeah nevermind..

The first novel in the cycle (Ravnica) was the best, but Dissension was certainly entertaining simply because everything hit the fan.
Which one were you?
Nice of you to stop by, DF.

Gathered that. I'm about two chapters into the second book. The Izzet astronaut goblin was cool, but a little slow to read.

Awesome game, but job prospects are probably a bit more relevant long-term.
Has anyone played Diablo III yet? How does it rank relative to Diablo II/other similar titles?
Stranger things have happened. If we end up sending enough members to the Portal with the next purge, you may very well end up being promoted.

As for ideas for thread titles:

[The Izzet]: Home of Tamiyo and Tibalt
[The Izzet] Never Left Ravnica

When asked how much power is required, Izzet mages always answer "more".
I don't remember what, if anything, that qualifies you for.
The Planechase 2012 spoilers are somewhat intriguing. Rather confusing that the set is numbered "2012" when the core set this year is "Magic 2013."
