    What took you so long to show up?


    Internet connection. I've been on the road for the past day and a half. Prince Edward Island is far.

    But it's a boy cat.

    Edit:


    Great, Cryo. Now I want a cat. This is something that I can't deal with in my life right now.

    Give in to the cuteness. Cats are better than people, anyway. If circumstances had been different, I could totally see myself becoming a crazy cat person.


    Did someone say crazy cat person?!

    I see MTGO is disabling the old client. I guess now I'm forced to used Beta. It's like deja vu.

    Edit: Wow new client is as crappy as I remember. God forbid I want to use a triggered ability.


    But, but, Wanderer Frown

    You mean like hunting for people, right? Because why would anyone hurt a defenseless animal?

    What's confusing? Mr. Cube was saying in the song that it was a good day because he didn't have to use his AK (in other words, he didn't have to shoot anyone).


    I think this has more to do with me being Canadian. The idea of a civilian using a gun for anything not hunting is almost completely unheard of.

    3:36. An AK is an AK-47 assault rifle.

    (Edited because Youtube put naughty words in the picture)


    I think I am more confused now. I think I'm just bad at this whole internet thing.

    Does anyone else listen to music from a completely different culture?

    So, I've learned a few things today:

    1) Walking for 4 hours hurts my feet.

    2) People think that 18 play mats is too many.

    3) I really like Arabic love songs.

    Today was an interesting day.
    You didn't even have to use your AK?


    You will have to explain what AK is.

    Well, I take participation mostly as a net negative, so you could say that the all-male Magic community gets a raw deal. I heard it said about Poker once - It's terrible for bad players, because they lose money. It's terrible for middle of the road players, because they didn't win any money. And it's terrible for the good players, because they could've done much more with the same talents. Best to stay away, so it certainly can't be considered a privilege. Magic could welcome women in all sorts of ways, only to have them refuse, and then exercise an abundance of options to promptly do just about anything else that gets more social clout. The unmate'able Omega males having a sanctuary doesn't indicate privilege.

    Also Kittens, I don't support a read of "gender issues" as "women's issues". As far as I remember, I think that there are (at least) two genders. Maybe it was a rant of mine on these boards that something like 20% of the men were having 70% of the sex partners. That is a pretty serious gender issue for males outside of that 20%, and to my eye, that segment seems overrepresented within Magic and the outer geek'dom. It's just totally outside of our cultural norms to grandstand for a behavior change by anyone other than the "in" class. Female behavior is not questioned.

    So I guess I'm asking, how about you ladies play more Magic? The community of non-athletic, mostly underemployed males would consider it a privilege.



    It was honestly just a joke as I have never actually even tried arguing about most things with the people I play Magic with. If I have done something that has made you uncomfortable, then I apologize and I will try to avoid doing so again.

    Also, debating gender issues with Magic nerds is almost as bad as debating music with Magic nerds. Bleh.


    Damn near impossible, yet so hilarious when they give up?

    Out of curiosity, is there a way to specifically find an admin?


    You can send a PM to one or more of them. BlackVise, ExpiredRascals, and Lanxal are our admins currently. You can also hit them up via their helpdesks assuming it isn't a private matter. Globals also have a lot of privileges so I might be able to help depending on what it is.


    Thank you. I can't post in the standard forum and I can't figure out why.

    In other news, it looks like I'm moving to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island this summer. I can't wait to go back to the east coast. How is everyone?

    Funny, I lost to that scenario just recently. Also, where should I look for a Phelddagrif deck that intends to win 4 player games?

    Problem is even when I get into tabletop discussions with friends who play Magic we are still talking about Magic. Posting in the main forum about my opinions on Magic will offend the Spirit of EDH kitten.


    I'm the spirit of EDH?
