The curse guys have been working really hard to get all of our functionality working. I for one am very pleased with what has been done so far. Yes there are some things that might be missing at launch.
What I am really excited about though is the fact that we can actually expand what sally can offer once we change over. The launch has been essentially trying to replicate the old sally as closely as possible so far. Beyond that though we can expand what it offers. Hanes was a great owner and I am happy we had him for years but the fact that he wasn't around as much did hurt later on in his ownership. Sally would have slowly died if it were to stick to its old ways too so the fact that we are getting an overhaul means we can continue strong going forward.
For me, the change over is primarily exciting for the future of sally. We should be able to get MORE functionality than we had before and we wont be rapidly approaching more and more problems with an outdated backend.
So.... I for one am very excited for the move over. The curse guys have been good about taking input and trying to fix problems that have shown.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Once all the Trading Post stuff is worked out it will eliminate more than half the infractions we give out there too! Plus, importing/exporting and searching lists is so much better now. Still need to get feedback fixed.
I drink a lot of beer these days. Never get hangovers.
I drink a glass of wine last night. I feel like my head split in half and someone stuff sand and cotton into my sinuses.

oh god that sounds unpleasant. The last time I drank enough to get a hangover was like 6 years ago.
This also comes from the guy who bought a 24 pack of beer like 3 months ago and hasn't finished it yet.

I drink nothing but hard liquor, 20% ABV is about as low as I go. I never get hangovers, but I think that's because of my one for one rule with water.

"[Screw] you and the green you ramped in on." - My EDH battle cry. If I had one. Which I don't.
Wine is amazing, but it takes nothing for my body to protest.
I drank 10 bottles of my home made stuff the day before and didn't get anywhere near drunk, woke up yesterday feeling amazing, and 1 stupid glass of wine did more damage than nearly a gallon of beer.
I drink nothing but hard liquor, 20% ABV is about as low as I go. I never get hangovers, but I think that's because of my one for one rule with water.
Before I started the recent beer thing I was the same way. It's really easy to regulate and control hard liquor. I guess people do shots and get blasted off the stuff, but for me it's about small portions and exaggerated time. 3 ounces of scotch or gin will last a night and never feel like I need more.
I tend to drink quite a bit of water anyway so it's all good. When I was in college was when I discovered the cure for hangovers - 32 ounces of Gatorade BEFORE I went out.
The only reason I ever drink water plain is because I keep a 24 pack of bottle water in my car. Aside from that, my drink intake is almost exclusively Coca-Cola.
It would be reasonable to suspect that I am exaggerating, but nope.
Not often one for drinking, but when I do it's basically wine coolers, mixed drinks, or straight liquor. Never could figure out beer.

That sounds like a source of bedwetting more than a cure for anything lol. I cant really drink much of anything before I pass out or I will wake up in the middle of the night needing to pee. That or I wake up almost in pain needing to go early in the morning.

I recently moved to Albuquerque for school and I joined a new EDH playgroup. Last night was the first Commander game night I attended.
It sucked.
First game the other three players were locked out by a turn 3 Grand Arbiter, followed by a turn 4 Winter Orb. It was just a slow grind after that. Because I was the only player running answers, he hated on me first. Second game, a player dropped Kaalia on turn 3. Turn 4 swung at me and dropped a Master of Cruelties. He came for me, as opposed to the other two control players. I scooped and left.

The answer is always run more cowbell answers.
On the less trolly side, new metas can be hard to adjust to. Just try to stick with it and try some different tactics now and then. Usually you will get used to your meta or your meta will get used to you. People usually overreact to the unknown so hopefully they either get used to you more or you get more used to them. I happen to also be the guy who auto picks up the BS stick. I once got killed on turn 5 from Kaalia when he played her on turn 4... It went Lightning Greaves, cheat in Avacyn to hit you. Next turn he tutors into Gisela and lethals me...

Different skins that is all I want. Can you promise me that? I can live if they aren't there on launch.

Skins are on the list of things that are being requested. Along that front, I believe there are also some members who are trying to rig them up as sort of third party setups. I don't know how their success has been though.
Curse is aware of the large request for alternate skins though. I have no idea where it is in the priority list though.

I'm really tired of my LGS metas. Nobody good ever shows up anymore, so it's basically become of bunch of babies with bad decks with **** for theat assessment.
Also, proxying everything is OK, MLD is not, I get lectured about fun because of smoke stack, and people pitch fits when I constantly tuck/wrath/and exile things after they over extend or counter a genesis wave for 27.
If I have to hear "whatever" after I answer something again, I'm flipping the ****ing table.

I'm actually beginning to just hate the whole format. No one will EVER be happy and the arguing and bickering that takes place is starting to get to me.
I should just find a cutthroat playgroup, and get it over with, but those are impossible to find. Haven't found one yet. Not going to happen with my current playgroups because of everything you just said, sans proxying.

I know enough like minded people to play good games, it's just become pointless to go to a shop anymore since almost everyone is a man baby.
It's sad, since new players to the format who want to build strong decks and play tight games will inevitably go to the LGS and get scolded by neck beards for playing ruination against a $1000 mana base sponsored by kinkos.
The result will be them saying "**** that" and not playing anymore.

Both of them suck too. I'm tired of being told by one shop that too many answers isn't fun. And the other is just full of noobs who had to read what Greater Good does while two sharks with full out combo decks wreck the meta to earn store credit in the league.:rolleyes:
