Yay! The first new page of the Random Bull**** Society! Although I'm a bit sad we're not the Elitists, we can still be elitist in spirit.
Responding to various topics:
Itopia sounds very cool. I've already joined, and I'll advertise it where I can.
This is the end of my 15th summer.
Woo-hoo! Second most posts!
What with the Numbers next to the list? Is that your guess at our age? I really Hope not.
By The Way, I'm 17 since This August

Haha, no. Not even. Even if I thought soemone acted like they were one I would never say it. No it is how many posts each person has in this thread.
I think age was a pretty lame topic. There really is not that much to be said. Now that we have a name I am going to register an dmake a new thread, possibly tonight. Before I post does anyone have a nice catchy name for the thread? I am hoping to somehow say we are up there with The Called and Project Maythem, as when creating a clan I aspire to be in there ranks.
Also Random Bull**** Socity will not fit in a thread title along with a thread name. I will put it RBS or RB*S. Up to you guys. Like I said I am going to register the clan and post today's D/W/M and then come back and see what you guys think.

So who is going to make the new page or do you think we should wait? How many posts/pages should we set until we make another clan page? Just some questions .
Quote from Nex3 »
I'll make the new page.
* Nex3 makes the new page , which can be found here.
General discussion lines:
*How the clan will work in general
*Peoples ages
*How Blake is unable to pawn
*Beefy's new nation
Proposed lines of discussion:
*The clan contest. Now that we have a name who would like to do the shopping and what exactly do we want to shop. Same goes for any clan related shopping.
*What we are currently reading
*What we are currently listening to
Currently reading: Brin, the Uplift War. one of the new breed of space operas, quite good.
I like a really wide range of stuff, from really melodic indie like the shins or Broken Social Scene to emo and stuff like that to a little punk. Whatever's good,as long as it's rock.
@Nex: Eh.....I am not very cretive either although a bunch of images thrown together into an image seems kinda like us. I don't, like the current icon but with a whole bunch of tiny squares forming it. It would be alot of work but very cool. Just an idea.
@Blake: I like it but as I said on AIM we need to incorperated MTGS into the icon somehow.
@Doug:
Currently Reading:
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown The Prince by Machiavelli
Currently listening to:
Some old nickelback. They were so much better before you had heard of them. Anyway lately iTunes has been populated with alot of Nada Surf's latest album. I particulary like the first single, Always Love. Just as I have wrote this NIN has come on. Anyway as I was saying has anyone esle ehard Nada Surf's latest album? Have you even heard of them. As far as Genres generally AltRock and me are very good friends. From switchfoot, to LP, to the White Stripes and Chevelle. I also listen to some Electronic, mainly Jem. I also listen to some rap although most of it is unbelieably stupid. There are gems in the rough those, lately it has been Kayne West's Late Registration and NAS for me.
Or something more along the lines of the image cut up into boxes and those boxes sort of skewed and assorted into the symbol? I could do that, but it would take more work.
Blake, that symbols looks really good, but the edges of the bull look a bit choppy. We should definitely incorporate that with our entry somehow.
As it appears we are going to get serious about the contest, I want this said. I am very picky and well....It offends alot of people. So if I dislike work you do then do not get mad at me, just know I am speaking my mind.

Jake, is this what you were thinking?

What you showed is similiar to what I was think Nex. However I was thinking every little box would be of some random image, like a bull or something and somehow we made it represent our clan. Yeah....now that I think about it does not make much sense.
But you bring up a very good idea. What if we took all the squares in the current logo, cut them up and formed out clan name with them. So without subtracting or adding anything, just moving them around we form a new logo to represent out clan. I don't know if it possible, and if so think of the work, but it would be awesome if we did get it to work.

The more picky you are, the better the banner will be. No offence taken.
The problem with your new idea is that A) it will be relatively challenging to cut out each of the squares and B) no one will know that the squares came from the MTGSalvation logo, so it won't be counted as including "MTGSalvation."
On a totally different note, I have recently recieved an email about a website, www.nrgsurveys.com, that arranges for me to be paid to take surveys. This looks interesting, as I could use the extra money, but it costs about $30 to register. Has anyone done anything like this before? If so, is likely that I'll make back my $30 by taking the surveys, or is this whole thing a scam?
Ha, 8 people have joined my nation. (Does anyone know who blacksideblue is?) Im going to do some hardcore advertising tonight. as for books Im reading "Seven pillars of wisdom" the book lawrence of arabia was based on. I get out of school in like 2 minutes! Woot!
You could always try "bumvertising"--do you watch the Daily Show?
I'm 32, and I've been listening to the radio lately because my car with a CD player has a malfunctioning cooling system, and I don't want to pay anything to get it fixed yet. I prefer the harder stuff.
I think we have our winner... that would be my selection.
So I scored some free magic cards from a retiring friend of a friend. Nothing really great, mostly just casual rares, but hey- a card's a card, amirite?
Also, beefybot, eventually Itopia will start recruiting people from sites you nothing about, so get used to it...
I read The Prince this summer, and really enjoyed it. Surprisingly, a lot of it is just common sense stuff.
Its true although it is intriguing. Some of the passages I need re-read and what not, but hey, it is worth it.
@Clan: Is Blake's design good. Do we want to make it the same size as the current one? I like it, personally! If everyone likes it go ahead and post it in the thread.
Also I would like to start a sign-up sheet for making the new threads. Who would like to make the next one? Also how many posts do we want to do them at? Probably something random. 333? 123? Or just whenever?
@Nex: Never heard of it. Overall I do not like the souds of it. Have you just ran a general search for it on google to see what others have thought?
Anyway right now I am watching the airbus circle and getting ready to land. Today was a good day, I got my first narrative report card and I got a 3.6 but seeing as it isn't a trimester report card I still may not be able to go to the Prerelease. We will see...
About Blake's design: I like that a lot, but the black background wouldn't look very good against the default or day skins. Maybe if you made the black fade out gradually, it would work better?

Good idea, I'll do that.
Right now, I'm looking forward to the Ravnica prerelease and not looking forward to my Driver's Ed. final exam :p. Pete Venters is signing at the PR, and I'm going to get my two Kiki-Jikis signed :D. I want to ask him to modify them with something cool, preferably some sort of duality so one can have one modification and the other another (like the angel/devil morphling mod), but I can't think of what to do. Suggestions?
Yes, yes, Itopia looks splendid.
I've planned to form the Itopian Red Brigade and already have many volunteers...
Ha, 8 people have joined my nation. (Does anyone know who blacksideblue is?)
Dude...the whole point was for the "nation" to grow...So you're going to have to expect seeing people you don't know from Salvation or News...This isn't supposed to be just another MTG forum. :slant:
As for blackside, yes I do know him, I've made a massive recruiting drive lately, and he's a comrade of mine who joined...
Nice logo and new name and everything guys...But you spelled my username wrong in the friend's list. :slant:

Jakefish24: alright.....thanks, and I appiricate you joining while you did
Indeed, he will be added to the Honary Discharge list.
The new logo looks great :). I do think that we should expand the "RBS" into at least "RB*S," because the censorship is part of our identity, or a full-fledged "Random Bull**** Society" across the top.
My final went well, I only got 9/75 wrong. Normally, I wouldn't be happy about 88%, but I could really care less about Driver's Ed as long as I pass and learn how not to kill/maim others/myself.

So, it will start to grow on its own, like Scrud or the Borg?
How 'bout this bull right here:
I am really enjoying the Itopia site. I can't wait until we have enough people to start writing our constitution.
