MTG Salvation

She lives in Canada, and I'm in the neighbourhood, lol. but shes apparently quite busy so one of my few chances to actually meet some of the mod team may be squandered oh well... at least i have a car so that i can attempt it again someday, lol

Ok, I demand that everyone who hasn't seen Jurassic Bark go to http://68.0.136.49:1080/Stuff/ and then click on the appropriate file for downloading. A few words of caution. The file is big, and I don't have much more than a few dozen kb/s of upload, so it may take an hour or so to get. Also, the episode requires that you at least be familiar with the concept of Futurama. Namely that Fry was cryogenically frozen during New Years 2000 and woke up in the year 3000. There are many cuts between these two times that'll confuse you if you don't know that. And finally, what makes the episode so good is the end. It's not a bad show through the middle, but if you don't watch the whole thing through, you are cheating yourself.

As for voting, we really should take care of clan size first, if only to get it out of the way so we can move on without confusion. We currently have 3 votes for 14 members, so if two more people vote that, it'll have recieved majority, and thus we can continue on the path to get more members.


11 or less - 0
12 - 0
13 - 0
14 - 3
15 - 0
16 - 0
17 or more - 0

Random Thoughts:

-- Sorry to see both Bel and Angel leaving the clan. Hopefully this will be the last of clan member exodus for a while.

-- I'm all in favor of letting Mike into our clan.

-- I was able to pick up another playset of Life from the Loam this afternoon before my local shop became aware of their sudden spike in price. $12 for the set.

Ooooh, nice job on grabbing those LotL...they'll probably got for 12 each after PT LA

Thanks! I almost feel dirty right now. Like I somehow dealt dishonestly with my shop. Oh well, I overpaid by a dollar or two for a playset of Erayo, so that should balance things out some.

Hey Tawnos, how about voting on clan size?

Anyone else download Jurassic Bark?

Well, not going to lie, I leave for one weekend of irresponsible partying and out-of-control antics, and the Clan falls apart.

Seriously, every time I'm gone, things go to Hell somehow or another.

I'm feeling more and more obligated to stay around my computer at all hours, and I just can't afford to do that.

So, no pictures from my Halloweekend, but suffice to say, we had a very drunk Quailman get into a fight with the neighbors, several break-ups and make-ups, and all sorts of people kissing a very glazed over Dan on the forehead telling him to "pull through."

So, all-in-all a good enough weekend, I guess.

Clan size: 14

14 clan size.
Yea to Crazed_Mike.

I don't check the thread for a few days and all heck breaks loose.
Boo.

The Called has lost members before, we persevere.

I'm on a Diablo 2 binge right now.
AHAHHAhkjfdsakj

Then I buy lots of MODO RAV.

Sorry to see Alex, Kristina and Bel leave...sucks..
But we shall carry awnnn and they are welcome to post here for as long as they want, as far as I am concerned.

I'm dl'ing it now,gonna take about ten minutes.

And yeah Dan, obv. it's all your fault. Seriously though, alot of this has been building, I think...I dunno that you could have stopped it, honestly.

I'm playing in a Rav Release Event on MODO, Seds..are you?

I agree that Bel, SA, and Alex should always be welcome to post here, also.

That makes the official clan limit 14. Now to officially vote in MiKe.

For MiKe - 2 (seds and myself)
Against MiKe - 0
Needed for majority, 5.

Let's make this official. Only votes from the last 24 hours on count, and if I missed a few votes downb the thread, please point them out to me.

Mike = yay. I like him, he can stay.

With Dan's vote, and I noticed Tawnos's down below, that's 4 for MiKe. Daron told me he'd vote yay as well, and Robynne can be assumed to vote yes on MiKe while we're at it. So not yet officially official, but it's good enough. MiKe, welcome to the clan. Now then, about advertising the two spots we have open.

I wouldn't necessary bank Robynne's vote..but I've voted Yay on Mike like 2 million times, so, it's irrelevant anyway.

I vote on MiKe also - yes! Welcome, you are Called.

Oh and half your remaining shells are in the mail (should come tomorrow) and the other half will come next time I can open up another pile of commons boxes. You bugger... I'll get you for this if it's the last thing I do.

Also, shame on you for trying to steal Raia from Bel! You naughty boy. Not that I wouldn't meet her if I could, too, I agree that it's cool to meet MTGS people, especially mods.

I just got back from a brutal back and biceps workout. Ouch! Shaky and achy. I'll be pumped soon enough, I'm sure!

Rianalnnnnnnnlnlnalnln how is the legendary hunt going? What poisons and beasts did you abuse?

EDIT: Downloading that epsidode Mike, thanks.

You're welcome. Let me know what you think of it when you're finished.

Am also downloading. . .

I've nearly crossed Ravnica's Legendaries off the list, leaving mostly a handful of Portal:3 Kingdoms faces + Gwen DiCorci to go.

As for last night, I got some beats in with Thoughtpicker Witch + made a few spicy Bloody Marys for the crew. Delana was a sport + played a couple of games with us, including a game of Emperor where she was unfortunately beheaded Played some 2HG, some free-for-all, + the Soot managed to beg off quite a bit of pizza, so he was happy with how the night went.

iiidit - I lol'd when Bender's eyes melted. . . + there were a few other sillybits, but I'm just not much for Futurama I guess. Ta for sharing BD.

Yupyupyup Cyan I am totally doing a RAV release event.
Since the signups are likely to be superfast, if you want to get in on the same one as me, let me know, we will have to coordinate well.
They start wednesday.
Dunno why they don't start tomorrow.

I pirated Diablo 2, hence I can't play it online.
I have never played it online.
I should buy it to play it online hehe.

Yeah, we should definetely try to get into the same one..why the hell not. What time on Wednesday do signups start? Oh, do you know, if you make T8 at one of those and have to draft, do you need to have 3 packs or are they supplied?

I'm not trying to steal anybody's soul or gf or anything like that. It is my personal mission to meet and beat each member of the mod team at a real game of magic. I know it will probably never happen, but I've got to start somewhere... and since raias only an hour away from me or so (which i have to drive anyway since i need to get back home eventually :p) i figured i might as well try and visit

problematic though... since i forgot to bring my cards with me... stupid alchohol taking up so much space...

You didn't say anything about being Called!??! Doesn't it me:symg:n anything to you?

I'd be glad to play you at a game of real life Magic but I don't spend any time in eastern Canada. When you were in Calgary there was at least some of a chance, but now who knows if we'll ever meet up!

What format would you want to play? I have a lot of decks, but none of them are necessarily very well tuned or competitive.

Shoot, if you find yourself in Minnesota, you can certainly meet me.

Beat me, however? Doubt it, if it's Legacy. T2, I'm not so in-tune with, and I really don't play Vintage, due to the entry costs. That's a challenge.

(Even though I'm only a pseudo-mod)

So, I went to Taco Bell, for though I have the flu, I still must be fed. I ordered three Double Decker Tacos, which totaled $3.20. I gave the cashier $5.30. You should have seen the look on his face. It was like I payed in Canadian pennies. Eventually I got $2.10 in change, and went on, but it was funny.

Yeah, I work in a pseudo fast-food industry, but to be honest, the math standards in just about all minimum wage (or roughly minimum wage) jobs aren't usually that high.

I do want to make a system of registers that makes fast-food employees "solve for x" at random. Just to throw them off. I wouldn't mind it, it'd be like a game.

I am amused at our resident Buddhist going to T-Bell :/

+ maths is hard!

What's wrong with that? Unless you know something that I don't?


And math isn't hard. Not so long as you have a teacher who can, you know, teach.
