I just got an email about an edit to my talk page saying that I was banned indefinitely for inappropriate behavior on the first of the month.
I haven't logged into either salvation or the wiki in more than 3 years until today. Did someone crack my account and spam with it? What actually happened?
I also want to point out that it's pretty bad design to have magic mage's page say to create a topic in user talk for "appeals" but if you are banned you specifically cannot do so.
The difference between "somewhat playable" and "auto-include" is often something as small as the color it produces and the storm count. It only takes 1 little detail to push a card over the line.
I'm pretty sure the only way you can make a tournament-legal card not legal by altering it would be to cover up it's mana cost or name.
Depends, if the paint is thick enough, it could alter the mass and thickness of the card and someone could make a case that it's marked. Don't use bottled acrylics or anything like that. If it's just sharpie or a paint pen, then it's fine.
Sometimes those 3 packs do include the starter booster from the core set starter pack. Locutus got the one from 7th, I've seen them from 8th in there as well.
A. A test foil, very interesting though, the spirals are tiled which looks stupid and artwork is covered by them AND it's foil with white borders. Shouldn't it have a white back if it's a test print?
B. Just a counterfeit foil. I've seen similar foils on counterfeit yugioh cards occasionally. Flea market style chinese fakes.
C. It's just a special thing from some starter pack I'm not familiar with
I'm leaning a little toward B just because of the tiled pattern looking so cheap, but if the foil is layered behind some art and in front of other parts, then it COULD be real as a counterfeiter probably wouldn't go to the trouble of that sort of layering.
The foil part is really pixelated and stupid looking, we know wizards has better foil stuff than that.
I've seen this a few times. I don't think it's uncommon at all for packs to be near each other in a box and have the rares close on the sheet. Fallen empires packs were notorious for things like this.
This sort of information is always fun to have in case it becomes relevant at some point to know the rare sheet.
But every conspiracy I've ever heard of was short-term and to some ideal, whether for good or ill; Hoover's infiltration and destruction of the Black Panthers, SNCC, and other socialist-type groups; the Reichstag fire to turn public opinion against the Communists; no one seems to really get together, say, "Let's do X, Y, and Z sinister acts in secret, and use them to make lots of personal wealth and horde power from the shadows". At least not that they're successful at it.
Correct. All of those happened because the right people at the right time made descisions "for the good of the country" and did so quietly.
I don't think it's that crazy to think that the same thing could happen on a larger scale.
but I guess you can just pick and choose what you want to believe and what you want to ignore, eh?
I guess you can go argue with someone else if you're going to just put words in my mouth, good day. You've decided that I am the stereotypical "conspiracy theorist" and you just won't rest until you've made me that. I won't be participating in THAT sort of debate.
I wouldn't pay for it, some guy is giving it away. How can I find out if anything else is busted, because if it is, then I probably won't bother getting the power supply.
You need a power supply to test anything else, It's a catch 22. That's why you want to get one super cheap or junked.
There is no way to magically test components without turning it on to see short of buying 10+ dollar testers, which would be more than a power supply and those only test cards and drives, you'd have no way of knowing if the board is fried. Plus you'd need a seperate testing device for each component, so you'd be looking at a lot more.
330w should be perfect. I would take JimmyOlsen up on that if shipping isn't too high.
edit: in re: speed. With a lightweight OS, like a puppy linux or ubuntu with the fancy visuals turned off, it should perform better than you'd expect. I've switched to linux with 1ghz Athalons and seen a big enough performance boost to make them quite usable again.

It looks kind of interesting, is anyone else going to try it?
Except that it isn't. It's illegal on an individual basis. It's legal in some places, the bunny ranch is in one of those places.

ACTUALLY, it's been shown that evian is DIRTIER than most tap water.
