If anyone spent five seconds reading our threads, they'd know that I, and at least a few other members, will vote for Crazed Mike no matter what. If they can't be bothered reading the old threads and actually getting to know what we're all like, then, I could care less if we're PC to them or not.
I think the Poll was just created as a joke anyway, to lighten tension a little. Even if some of us won't vote for Mike(don't see who wouldn't, but, you never know), can you honestly name one person that you want to join The Called? I'd be surprised if you can. If any of us can. I'd be flat-out shocked if you could name someone that would have a realistic chance of getting in over Mike. So, you're right, the whole poll is a waste of time. Why we even let people apply, I have no idea.
As for politics going to hell, politics are inherent in human nature. The only society in which politics would not exist is one full of robots? Do you want to live in a society full of robots? Probably not.
No you want me rancored ill be your elf buddy lol nah U/G are my colors im actually trying to break a U/G t2 deck splashing white for states if anyone has any advice lemme know
Btw R_E you wanna sell me 3 of those peutrifys i have 1 foil one and 1 foil Helix

I know that they are, but that doesn't keep me from dislikeing them. I have long wished that everyone could just live in a society without politics and fighting, but I know that it will never happen. Can't blame a girl for deaming.
Ironically, it would probably take alot of politics to have a society without any fighting..and vice versa, the only way to really get rid of politics would just be to promote wanton violence.
On a different note, I now have a song that I have decided to live by. I really doubt that any of you have heard of the band because almost noone listens to Christian rock. The song is "We Live" by SuperChick (I know the name of the band is dumb, but they do have good music imo), and here is the corus:
We live, we love
We forgive and never give up
'Cause the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love
A good song to live by, if I do say so myself. {No, I have no idea why I say things like "if I do say so myself", just one of my quirks I guess.}
Nothing wrong with saying 'if I do say so myself'..lots of us use disclaimers in our statements to make it look like simply our opinion. I think I've heard that song anyway, back when my wife used to listen to some Christian station in AZ all of the time.
I was hooked on Petra in the early 90s and still buy most of their CDs although I don't listen to them all that much. They were definitely THE Christian rock band for years. Really great guys, good message, original music and lyrics. And I was into rock then and they definitely were rock.
Man this insulation is bugging my throat.
EDIT: Did we submit already? If not, are we just going with the one Alex posted like 14 weeks ago?
Radiance is awful. It helps your opponents guys, which, considering the color-sharing in this format, is a tremendous drawback. It's also a purely combat-related mechanic, which is a huge mark against it, IMO.
I think Alex is waiting until the last possible second to submit, as is his style.
All this Rav spouty is making me thirsty! Good thing I am going drafting in an hour or so. . .

Just in case - what if Raia wanted to jump ship? Or SneakyH decided he needed a clan?! Also, is good to bait people's hopes + then whisk the carpet out from under their feet as they go to taste the sweet, sweet brownie
Mmmmm, brownie.
I'm about to go eat some enchilladas (sic?). I've never been a huge fan of Mexican food in particular, although I don't dislike it. I don't dislike anything, really.
I spent the afternoon helping my brother-in-law-IN-LAW (huh?) put holes in the walls of his new house, and feed wires up and down into the attic. He's adding 5 new electrical, cable, and phone outlets in the upstairs alone. I still feel like crap despite taking a lot of ibuprofen, but at least I have my energy!
Hey Alex, got an updated version, or is the original gonna be our submission? If there are any tweaks, I'd suggest putting in one more male member. No, not a *****. A dude. Since we have both females represented and only 2/11th of the blokes.
I wouldn't mind being in The Called's picture. I think that only like 5 members have been around longer than me now..which is sad, since I've only been in The Called for like a year.
Well, when I was talking about Samurai of the Pale Curtain, I wasn't so much talking about cards going into the yard from anywhere, rather I was talking about the fact that it makes recurring the creatures (my biggest roadblock) impossible. I can deal with just about every threat at least once.
And Ultimate Spiderman is amazing, by the by. I have it on X-Box, but I could buy it for any system... I just usually go with my X-Box when I have that choice.
Also, Kayo Dot, is far and away the most amazing show I've ever been to. Bought a crap-ton of merchandise.

I anly said that because I know that Golgari and recursion are going to be huge at States. I think that UB Mill will be big too, and BG Recursion dominates that matchup.
Today is Donut Friday here at our office. Every other Friday (payday) one of the guys stops at this bakery in town and picks up some of the greatest donuts ever made!!
Sooo hungry!!8^)

Well I'm a bit late to show my face (some more :)) but I might as well post again that I'm interested in joining.
johhny: I agree with you, and I imagine R/W aggro of some kind will also be huge... Basically, any theme you can spin off a guild will be present... Not a bad thing, since it means free wins lol
I am so depressed because I can't pull anything good from any packs that I buy!!!

I had a decent draft last night, although I went 1-2 with House Dimir:/
Char, Life From the Loam, Moonlight Bargain. . . plus some more chaffy-stuff like Hunted Horror + my first Telling Time. Whee. . . the games were fun, even if I didn't draft enough removal.
Went to see Weezer/Foo Fighters tonight.
EXCELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLENT show.
I am not a particular fan of the Foo Fighters, but Dave Grohl is amazing, and I knew practically every song they played.
We split before the encore though...to avoid traffic.
I am still playing loads of shandalar. Muahaha.

I repeat: went to Kayo Dot on Thursday... best. show. evar.
For seriously. Granted, they're among my favorite bands, and I got to meet all the members. I bought so much stuff too, mostly because they fail to have gas/food/hotel money. I even donated an extra $20. Mia, the incredibly sexy violinist gave me two buttons, as those were the only things I hadn't bought.
I kind of wanted to see NIN, but I hated the new album, and I'm not much of one for large-venue shows. Can't say there is any desire within me whatsoever to see Weezer or the Foo Fighters... so, I display no jealousy there.
Granted, I doubt anyone here is particularly jealous of me seeing Kayo Dot, except maybe Daron now that he knows that Mia, the violinist, is incredibly hot.
PEUF! I HAVE RETURNED!
Stupid hard drives... I lost all my files AGAIN
Oh well...
I might have to redo the Called banner again... Mayyybe not. Gotta take the time in the near future to check out what's on my external harddrive.
Peace!

Well I guess I'll just avoid voting. Nothing on there really appeals to me. Maybe we have enough members?

Bathe in Light isn't strictly combat. . .
Leave No Trace is a stretch to be useful in combat. . .
Cleansing Beam/Brightflame/Wojek Embermage are anti-creature, but not neccessarily combat (not to mention one is a sorcery).
That said,
I think Alex is waiting until the last possible second to submit, as is his style.

What ais everyone's thoughts on Boros Fury Shield? With T&N leaving the for format its stock drop with me quite a bit.
Can't talk now, opening 180 boxes.
Ceremonial first pack's rare was:
Concerted Effort.
/me tosses it to the curb and grabs the next 4 packs and sinks his teeth in *
I am so depressed because I can't pull anything good from any packs that I buy!!!

Back from a lovely walk on the beach. Found a small six-armed starfish (legged? limbed? tentacled?
Painterfriend Jai is staying for supper - spinach lasagna + greek salad. On the table in 5 minutes, so wash your hands!
