About Me: I'm a geek, I'm addicted to puns, and always up for having fun. I'm thoroughly addicted to mint (spearmint in particular) and hot chocolate (which I devour by the liter, usually with fresh spearmint leaves in it.) I'm a sucker for a good love story, even moreso if it's in the middle of a great action sequence. The two things I value most are friendship and knowledge, as you could never have enough of either. I also seem to be the only person who feels deprived by having to live on a planet with only a single moon. If there are any more of you out there, tell me so I can know I'm not alone.

Agreed - we should let the thread hit 13 pages this time, people! And I want to see some other posting going on in here. Brian and I need posts to reply to, otherwise we can't continue our game. As we've seen, posts with just game content will be deleted! So speak up.
I'm at work right now on a night shift, but I remember my current hand. I'll just ignore whatever I would draw this turn.
I think we should keep a running total of the board, life totals, and hand sizes in each post we make. Just quote it and edit it each time. Yeah?
GAME
*untap*
*draw* (I'll do that when I get home, and ignore whatever card it was for the purpose of this turn)

Tap Forest. Seeker of Skybreak.

I voted for Votan in that poll. Not sure what's the point of the poll, but whatever. Looks like sneaks is going to win. I think a lot of people vote for whoever has the highest rank. I won a lot of polls when I was admin.
We really need a better system for this game thing. An easy way to just quote the previous game post, add your current play, and post it. Blah.
Anyway, thanks for the memlapse! Now I know what I'll be drawing next turn. Apparently we can continue this for a while before I'll need to actually go home and see what my next play is.
GAME
Put Seeker on top of library.
Tap Llanowar Elf. Boreal Druid.
*pass*
I've started quoting the moves in a play by play aspect. You will like this or I shall get the genital cuffs again.
It puts the lotion on the skin....It does this or it gets the hose again.
Won't be around much today...field work and all.
Time Spiral is quickly approaching!!!
Hey....does anyone else's significant other try to make their birthday last a week or more?

Are you saying your spouse does this? Somebody is lucky, at any rate. I nearly skipped my birthday this year. . . + I dunno if I'd want my 30th to last a week @_@
Hey....does anyone else's significant other try to make their birthday last a week or more?
My wife's always lasts that long. She celebrates it with me, her parents, my grandparents, and sometimes a group of friends or coworkers as well. And if I don't say "Happy Birthday" each time, I'm in trouble. And don't get me started on the whole gift thing.

eds - past my bedtime now, but here is the 'chop. Somebody quote this so it bumps etc.
Well I'm emptying out my fridge in an attempt to not have leftovers during my trip to Hokaido. So that meant dinner was potatos (French Fries) (not in the fridge) and deep fried gyoza sheets rolled up.
Had potatos for Breakfast too. With onion, egg, and cheese. Was a huge feast. Had at least a tomato or two worth of tomato sauce with it all. Not sure whats in the Mayo here, but I ate a bit of that too. Plenty of butter.
And they say I don't eat healthy.
Heres some positive news. My brother has started going to College to be a Chef, his life long dream. Not sure what college, but its suppose to be one of the best. Highly reguarded, maybe even the harvard of chef schools. Anyone ever hear of...um....it has cordon blue in the name I think. Anyway, I'm excited for him. Better than his job trimming tree branches away from powerlines. Dangerous work, someplaces he even needed a police escort.
Didn't see that one coming didja.
(would have had more power nine if I remembered more than the word "mox" )

And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.
It's good! Now get to bed!
One thing - missing an "R" in the text.
Mis-prints are worth more $$ . . . which is basically all the joke is, slamming on T.S. being a cash cow. MaRo's "State of Design" article read like an ad ;_;
Well, well, well, playing some Magic, I see. What a bunch of nerds. My job kicks ass! My supervisor is giving me a free World of Warcraft account. Him and the lead server are fellow nerds. Although, they don't play Magic. I'll be changing that. That is, if I don't get sucked into WoW like everyone else. I got the whole bank situation taken care of... and I get some money on Friday. Drinks are on me! I took second place playing poker at the bar last Thursday, and all I got was a hat, can cooler, deck of cards, a Stugis card game (that I'll probably give to my mother because she goes there every year), and a $5 gift certificate to the World Poker Store. Damn, I need to actually win a cash game. Speaking of which... hi ho hi ho, off to play I go...
Have a good "last hurrah" trip, Chris. Enjoy it... and no regrets about stuff! Those potatoes and ketchup sound good right now.
Good to hear your paycheck's going to be deposited, Zig. You're a real citizen now, congrats. And good luck on winning at poker. Don't lose your whole paycheck.
My last grip of 'chops didn't elicit much response either. . . I wonder why I bother.
In happier news, I love the days when I get to ride my bike from the Chocolate Cave to the Visitor's Center Factory. . . I feel so lucky. Is good having the keys to the Cave, too. I am empowered -_-;
Welcome to wonderful world of Banking, Zig x_x
Hrm. I need a Guay Wrath, quick! *rings WotC*
What did you use to cast the Seeker? Forest + Temple?
*untaps*
*upkeep; Tropical Island, Thawing Glaciers; island*
*draw*
*Savannah*
*pass, return Glaciers to hand*
Who is constant-lurking? I saw your name up there last night, r_e, so you must be off invis. . . who's watching?!
I don't know who is lurking. I've been off invis since the lawsuit issues faded. Chocolate Cave... mmm that sounds kinda kinky.
Okay, GAME.
Yeah, it was Lodge and Forest actually. Not that it really matters.
Tap Temple.
Tap Llanowar.
Tap Druid.
*activate and tap Skyshroud Poacher, hunting out a Deranged Hermit... plop*
*waits to make sure that's okay before untapping and taking my turn*
It IS kinky. I was filling one of the giant eskis with a ton of milk chocolate, + Mick (who drives the chocolate + other stuff from the warehouse to the Factory) said, "DAMN! All we need is a couple of gorgeous women to jump in + play!" - just the thing @ 6:30am when brain is still in dreaming-visualizer mode @_@
I was going to take some pics to show you guys, but I think it may violate trade secret thingies. . . the Called has had enough of that, methinks
That actually sounds pretty fun. A lot of your stories are pretty awesome, actually. I could tell you about the psych patients last night, but ... that would also violate patient confidentiality if I was too detailed... and I've kind of already added to the stigma around mental illness through my stories before. Hehe.
I bought jj's chocolates today, + will fight the postal witches to get them to him tomorrow. I think he is going to get me some duallies from you, so please set aside a few ones!
I also bought my grandma the giant chocolate frog I owe her (she wanted a crocodile but we don't make those ), going to post that along with an illustration she's been after. . . I meant to frame it first, but if I don't send it I may never. I find it hard to part with a lot of the art I make -_-
I will block a squirrel with my drake. Please do not pump!
eds;
20 Life, 5 cards in hand, Memory Lapse + Island in gy.
Postal Witches - hehe
As for Under the Wall, the red part reminds me of some kind of membrane, stretched, with the sunlight coming through it. Kinda creepy actually. The two figures are implied more than actually detailed in... but I like it like that. They're not the focal point anyway.
Framing's just expensive anyway. Doesn't really do much IMO.
Okay, take 6, one Squirrel passes away.
Tap Llanowar Elf.
Tap Fyndhorn Elves. Priest of Titania.
*pass*
Thanks for checking it out, r_e, + thanks for the story props earlier. If I ever get through my novel, I'll send you a copy - you'd like the shadowy figures shown there, I think. Are your boys into books at all? Maybe they'd like Soup + Snake, too. . .
*goes to 14*
End-of-your-turn, I Predict a forest on top of your library!
*prays*
I have decided that I will catch up on the commentary later....or not...:p
Played GOlf yesterday....did crappy! I couldn't get my swing until the back nine. I was thinking about it to much and was hacking around the whole front 9 of the course...really frustrating!!!
I'll be around for today kinda but don't yell at me if I'm slow!

eds - past my bedtime now, but here is the 'chop. Somebody quote this so it bumps etc.
It's good! Now get to bed!
One thing - missing an "R" in the text.
You flipped the art! Looks better on a red card, though. And probably makes more sense with the pie. Mmm, strawberries! Slurp!!
I'll post my next move when I get home, before I fall asleep for the day. I actually have to see what I draw this time.
EDIT:

Seeker of Skybreak?

Had potatos for Breakfast too. With onion, egg, and cheese. Was a huge feast. Had at least a tomato or two worth of tomato sauce with it all. Not sure whats in the Mayo here, but I ate a bit of that too. Plenty of butter.
And they say I don't eat healthy.
Heres some positive news. My brother has started going to College to be a Chef, his life long dream. Not sure what college, but its suppose to be one of the best. Highly reguarded, maybe even the harvard of chef schools. Anyone ever hear of...um....it has cordon blue in the name I think. Anyway, I'm excited for him. Better than his job trimming tree branches away from powerlines. Dangerous work, someplaces he even needed a police escort.

Mis-prints are worth more $$ . . . which is basically all the joke is, slamming on T.S. being a cash cow. MaRo's "State of Design" article read like an ad ;_;

My job kicks ass! My supervisor is giving me a free World of Warcraft account. Him and the lead server are fellow nerds. Although, they don't play Magic. I'll be changing that. That is, if I don't get sucked into WoW like everyone else.
I got the whole bank situation taken care of... and I get some money on Friday. Drinks are on me!
I took second place playing poker at the bar last Thursday, and all I got was a hat, can cooler, deck of cards, a Stugis card game (that I'll probably give to my mother because she goes there every year), and a $5 gift certificate to the World Poker Store. Damn, I need to actually win a cash game.
Speaking of which... hi ho hi ho, off to play I go...
Good to hear your paycheck's going to be deposited, Zig. You're a real citizen now, congrats. And good luck on winning at poker. Don't lose your whole paycheck.

In happier news, I love the days when I get to ride my bike from the Chocolate Cave to the Visitor's Center Factory. . . I feel so lucky. Is good having the keys to the Cave, too. I am empowered -_-;
Welcome to wonderful world of Banking, Zig x_x

I also bought my grandma the giant chocolate frog I owe her (she wanted a crocodile but we don't make those ), going to post that along with an illustration she's been after. . . I meant to frame it first, but if I don't send it I may never. I find it hard to part with a lot of the art I make -_-
I will block a squirrel with my drake. Please do not pump!
eds;
20 Life, 5 cards in hand, Memory Lapse + Island in gy.
Grr. Since when do Deck tags not autocard? + ya can't use in 'em >_
As for Under the Wall, the red part reminds me of some kind of membrane, stretched, with the sunlight coming through it. Kinda creepy actually. The two figures are implied more than actually detailed in... but I like it like that. They're not the focal point anyway.
Framing's just expensive anyway. Doesn't really do much IMO.
Okay, take 6, one Squirrel passes away.
Tap Llanowar Elf.
Tap Fyndhorn Elves.

Played GOlf yesterday....did crappy! I couldn't get my swing until the back nine. I was thinking about it to much and was hacking around the whole front 9 of the course...really frustrating!!!
I'll be around for today kinda but don't yell at me if I'm slow!
I actually does but it can be the most frustrating game in the world! I'm gonna play with the wife soon. I need to make it a regular thing with her....I'm like that...I kinda like doing stuff with the little lady!
Not lookin really good for the Rianalnn as far as the game goes. Better top deck some sweetness soon Tiger......the game is a foot...or is that a paw since we're talkin tagers and such!??!:rolleyes:
