Thank you Kristina for the support. You're right.. I'm getting a lot of PMs. I wish people would slow down a bit. I was up allllllll night dealing with this stuff and now my wife's home from work and gone to bed. So I'll be up all day witht he boys. Kinda tired, kinda stressed! :slant:
My AIM keeps crashing when I load it - someone's got their finger on the "trigger" and when they see me on, they do their little trick and my program crashes. Fairly obnoxious.
Strange to see Tawnos poke his head in here, after all the months of being gone, and the other disgraceful occurances... here's hoping things have turned around and he's coming to his senses about that stuff?
Nick, please stop "helping" me in all the threads about the WotC lawsuit. Seriously, your backhanded compliments, and the suggestions you hand out, could affect my family's well being. You're steering entire conversations down a dangerous path for me. Not even my critics are doing that as well as you are. Please... don't post about it anymore.
I do agree though - it must have been the Snap cards. I guess that means they were real, then?
Apparently they just send you some really messed up message which it can't handle, and it crashes. Somebody's got me in their sights right now. Sometimes when I log on, I have 15 seconds before they get me. But sometimes only 2 or 3 seconds. I don't like it at all because I need AIM for communicating.
I am so seriously upset right now that I can barely type this. How dare you guys make comments about my *disgraceful* actions without even giving me the benefit of the doubt to explain what happened!!!! That was completely uncalled for! And Cyan I have no idea what I EVER did to you, but you really seem to be on the anti-Tawnos bandwagon...
FOR THE RECORD....
In the last three months I had lost my old job, had my small business basically shut-down and put into a $10k hole due to some fraudulent schmuck's paypal chargeback, and was given the news that my 18 month old son is going to need major eye surgery soon (which could leave him blind in one eye).
The only thing I EVER did that some might consider disgraceful is fail to follow up re-sending a card to Rancored_Elf. I had made a trade agreement with him, we both sent the cards, and because of a stupid typo on my end the original item came back. Then all of the other crap came up one right after the other, and in all the stress/confusion I completely forgot about sending it back out. Until just earlier this week I have been completely without an internet connection. Couldn't afford the internet bill. Couldn't afford my car payments. Couldn't afford much of anything except for food and rent. And then just barely.
But thanks for making me dredge all that out.
I contacted Rancored Elf two nights ago and let him know what had happened, and deeply apologized to him. I made sure he knew I wasn't out to screw him and would be mailing the card asap. Which I have done. Didn't anyone bother to ask RI about the huge trade a made with him last year before calling my actions "disgraceful". I would never screw anyone over in a trade, especially someone who I did consider my friend, and over something as ridiculous as four $7 cards.
Nick, please stop "helping" me in all the threads about the WotC lawsuit. Seriously, your backhanded compliments, and the suggestions you hand out, could affect my family's well being.

Yeah, I guess it'd be alot easier if I was just like everyone else and said 'oh noes this is a travesty blahblah I think I'll boycot Magic until I forget about all of this(tomorrow) etc etc'. I don't even understand what you're talking about, honestly. But, the only person that could 'affect' your family's well being is YOU. You're the rumormonger, you're the one that posted every bit of information that you got your hands on, including scans of future incomplete cards. I think it's really ****ty what WotC is doing, but, you only have yourself to blame for thinking that you're untouchable. Besides, it's very obvious that this has as little to do with you as possible, they're just using you as a scapegoat to get to the people that actually leaked the information; there's virtually nothing that they can do to you, and you know it.
I've been having the same problem w/ AIM. Some idiot named Condescendfor2 kept sending me whatever the message was that makes it crash. He did the same thing a few months back, before I switched to Trillian. Some people are just pathetic.
Tawnos:
I don't care about you one way or the other, I just found it fascinating that you randomly re-appear and post again..but instead of making some sort of explanation as to what the hell happened to you for the last X months, you just post like normal.
I sent a private message to R_E. I didn't go into details in the pm on what happened, but did let him know my disappearence was related to personal issues (which I've now discussed in this thread). At the time of the pm I didn't even plan on posting again in the clan thread. I was embarressed about what happened, probably figured I had already been given the boot, and told him if not I would be withdrawing from the clan anyways.
Only reason I posted was because of the lawsuit crap. Just wanted to show my support.
Tawnos, let me explain about the word "disgraceful." That was my fault, and a complete accident. I was going for some humor, relating it to a dishonorable discharge from the military. My failure at symonyms ended up insulting you though, and for that I'm sorry. We thought no real ill of you (except maybe Nick, but he hate everyone) at any point, though many of us were rather confused by not only your absence, but your occasional reappearance without contacting us.
I can't say I speak for the clan, (though I hope I do) when I say that there are no hard feeling toawrds you, and you are welcome here as ever. Please, if nothing else, accept my apology.

Funny thing is...I agree with both Nick and Mike. There was a lot of questions that were never answered by you Tawnos. You were active on the site...looking around....but you never once came in here and said anything to let us know you were even alive. Your last post on the clan thread was October/November yet your last activity on MTGS was late December. You could have popped in.
Nick...I just think that it was Daron's way of trying to get us to stop feeding the frenzy about this suit. I don't think he really meant any ill will, he is just so sick of hearing/talking about it. It is kinda scary...even if you know down inside that it isn't about you per say but about the sources. The scare tactic....keeping people quiet.
Everyone on the site is making such a big deal about this and I think he doesn't want the publicity...outcry. I think R_E just wants to do what he loves to do without worry, and that is just to post rumors about future sets!

I HAVE to tell ya'll what my nephew Lance, (the 5 year old) did yesterday morning.
He woke up before everyone else. I have no idea what was going through his mind, but he decided to go for a walk, I guess. My brother-in-law went downstairs and found the doors hanging wide open and no sign of Lance. He was running up and down the street yelling for him, and no response came. My sister's ex saw him go by the house and asked what was going on. He told him. Here, Lance was in there the whole time. When he got there, he knocked on the door. David, (my sister's ex), asked where his mom was, and Lance told him that she went home. He just thought that my sister dropped him off because her and her husband were fighting again. So, it all got ironed out. What we learned was that he knows to look both ways before he crosses the street, but he doesn't remember to put on shoes/coat. It was a scary morning, but everything worked out ok. It's a thing we can laugh at since nothing happened, but I guess they had a very long "discussion" with him.
damn you wotc damn you leave the dude alone wtf??
he is just doing the reat of the mtg players all a favour and its your ppl leaking the info to him you bag of panckes
......blueberry pancakes that is?
You were never active enough in this thread as it was, but, even while you were MIA, you still occasionally logged onto the site. But you couldn't take five minutes and give us a heads up? I fail to see why you should expect to be treated any differently.
Mike:
I don't 'hate' anybody, and I'm very tired of you putting forth to everyone and their brother that I do. If I'm outspoken and cynical, it's because I choose to be so.
Bel:
Hey, I have an idea. Get lost. I couldn't handle your suck up attitude when you were in the Clan, I'm definetely not going to now. Don't you have another website to run now? If you can call it that. As usual, you have no idea of anything that is going on, and you're simply running your mouth.
Jonny:
Rest assured when I say, it's not that simple. I'm pretty sure that I know what Daron's real problem with me is, he's just using this as a cover to vent.
ALChris:
Stuff like that happens alot. It really, really freaks you out(like major panic mode) at the time, but, it's pretty common among children. It's really funny that he looked both ways but didn't put on his shoes/coat...at least it shows that he's aware of danger.
Tawnos: whoa man... (Andrew, wasn't it?) I also considered you a friend of sorts, someone I knew online and spoke to, and conferred with.. and a clanmate. That made it extra hard when you stopped communicating... but still hung around? And you appeared to fail to send your end of the bargain (still not here... 4 months later). As for the word "disgraceful", that's subjective. From what we saw, it was, and that's all we could go on. I haven't read my PMs from last night yet because there are about 70 of them... most of them repeats of the same thing - the lawsuit stuff, people's opinions, "goodbye"s, and so on. I'm sorry for saying it seemed disgraceful, but it did. And I'm also sorry for your hardships in life.
Nick: Forgive me if I don't feel 100% "untouchable". That might seem like a good choice of words, but it doesn't describe how I feel. I'm trying not to stress, because that'll cause me lack of sleep and clarity... as if I have any of that to spare lately anyway? So please don't make anymore problems for me. I'm not saying I won't take responsibility for passing on what I hear to others on this site. But if people are turning discussions against me? My friends? If you can't support me in a clear manner, then I'm just asking that you keep your support silent, or between us on AIM. Posts are public knowledge, they're visible to anyone who wants to see. And they change opinions. If they didn't, you wouldn't post them - you're not here to interact with yourself, you're here to discuss. Yours are powerful, your words are chosen to invoke emotion. Even if I was untouchable, I certainly wouldn't want you against me, even a little. I'm not angry with you at all. All I wanted is that you not keep going in all the lawsuit threads around. Every time I read your posts there, I cringe. 98% of the rest make me feel good, though.
I haven't decided about the prerelease tomorrow. Is there a way to see if your DCI# is still valid? If I've been shut down, that'll help make my mind up.
@ R_E: I'm not sure about checking the DCI#.. maybe check if it will still get punched into the ratings and rankings page? maybe call someone who runs tournaments to try and put you into one to check it.
I don't know, I hope that helps. As for the business... well. I won't say anything. I know how much its gonna bug you if someone else tries to show support and make something worse, maybe if you want to talk to pople though, you could try and find a web-based AIM? I don't use it so I don't know. Hope that helps too.
I've got my AIM working again, and thanks for the tips.
I'm probably going to go tomorrow. I'll use some other (or new) DCI number if my official one isn't valid anymore. Jonski said I need some fun. He said to go win some packs, so I'm thinking about it.
Firstly, I find it unlikely that my words are 'powerful' in any sense in regard to this matter. I'm just one more person making posts with their opinion, an opinion which is largely not supported by all of the idiots on here that can't get past the fact that they might not get spoilers in the future. That opinion being that you have nothing to worry about, except for the possibility of not being able to give out this information that is leaked to you, in the future. But is that really that big of a deal? Explain to me how that could even remotely affect your family's welfare? I think you're overreacting. Alot. I'm not going to address the notion of you asking me not to post on those threads, there's no point in that.
Woah, new thread.
Boo on Cyan. Yay for ignore list.
Tawnos, I appologize for my bandwagon. I had never understood why you wern't posting but was told that it was that you stopped months ago, lurked, and ripped my buddy D-unit; So from that I had a negative impression of you. It didn't cross my mind that there might be a legit reason you wern't posting until now. I'm sorry.
Alex, you really should take Nick off your ignore list, if only because he can make new threads and posts stuff about clan contests.
Tawnos, sorry to hear about your situation, though you should have posted earlier. What did you expect us to think when all we see is you around, not letting us know anything and Daron not receiving cards? Anyways, I'm not bandwagoning against you or anything and nice to know you still exist.
Bel, good to know you didn't just vanish. Thanks for letting me know what happened.
If you can't, as a friend, respect my request for you to stop lobbying for/against me in the lawsuit threads, then why are we friends? I'd like you to show some respect to a fellow person, let alone friend/clanmate. Your posts there are upsetting me. You can think I'm wrong to feel that way, but I feel that way, and I told you. Please respect that?

Okay then, your words are "average", in comparison with all the "idiots" you're posting before and after.
Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You're not going to make an accusation of the magnitude of 'You're putting my family in danger', multiple times, and expect me to accept it with no explanation. Considering that we're clanmates, at the very least, you can explain what would cause you to make such an extreme statement. If you won't explain it, that's your problem, and you can't reasonably expect me to abide. If you can't explain it, maybe you should stop and think about that.
I'm perfectly willing to stop posting in those threads, and soon as you give me a logical reason as to why I should. And no, sorry, I'm not one of your adoring fans, 'because I want you to' is not a good enough reason for me. I'm surprised we're having this conversation, I've never suffered from the 'Rancored_elf is a god and we should just swallow everything he says without thinking twice about it' delusion. Do you not remember the thread, in the mod lounge on news, when Loonook was banned and DPC was demodded? You didn't cow me then, and you're not going to cow me now. Not without explaining where you possibly get off making as serious of an accusation as 'you're endangering my family'. That is simply not funny and not acceptable, not when it's said to me. I have a family myself, and, to me at least, it would take a major crisis for me to accuse someone of endangering them. I can only hope that it's the same for you. If it is, considering that you brought that charge against me, you owe me an explanation, especially since you're also asking me for a favor in the process of making that attack on me. If it has no validity, and you just said it as a scare tactic, then, that is truly deplorable.
Just to clarify, this isn't something that you have to explain publicly. If there's some need for secrecy, IM me(I IMed you about it earlier but you didn't respond). PM me. Email me. Say something, other than 'because I said so'. Come on, this is me we're talking about, you must have known that I wouldn't go for that even as you were writing it. If you expect to use our relationship to get me to quit posting on those threads(and, for the record, I don't have any problem with that, I'm just not going to do it without a real reason), I expect you to respect that relationship enough to give me an explanation. It's a two way street.
Damn you Brian...you're not getting outta here that easily! You pop your arse back in here and start fueling the clan drama with sarcasm...insults...backflips...and supply everyone with the delicious chocolate they so richly deserve!:embarrass:
Off to the pre-release! Going to lose money and have fun!:tongue3:

Please, can’t you just leave Bel alone for once in your life? I don’t give a crap what you say about me, but leave my friends alone please, because I will defend them until the bitter end no matter what.
Bel came in here and started problems with ME. As usual, you have no clue what is actually going on, and just randomly blurt out the first thing that you think. Bel attacked me, and all I said back to him was to leave ME alone. If you're not even going to make an effort to be objective, then, that is your problem. But it just makes you look foolish.
You know, I think that for most people if a friend asked them to stop doing something that didn’t affect them in any way (such as to stop posting on said threads) that they would comply. Friends do that for each other, no explication needed. Look, I almost never post here any more just because you don’t want me too, and you're not even my friend Nick. I don’t like to make people upset, even ones I am not particularly fond of. But I can not keep silent about how you are treating Daron – true friends don’t need a logical reason for every little request. And I am sure that if you asked the very same thing of Daron he would respect your wishes no questions asked. It may surprise you, but I do respect you as a person. However, if you can’t even respect someone you call a friend enough to carry out a simple little wish, then why should anyone respect you?
Nope, that's not good enough for me. *Real* friends wouldn't make a request like that of each other to begin with, because it is inherently disrespectful. If you can't respect your 'friends' enough to tell them why you should make such a request, and make such an extreme accusation, then, it is very unrealistic to expect them to just go along with whatever you say. Besides, Daron has said himself, any number of times, that he doesn't have 'friends' online, he just thinks of us as acquaintances. But, that aside, you have to give to get, and that obvously isn't happening here. Put yourself in my shoes. If someone in your clan made a statement like 'the things you say are putting my family in danger', and it made absolutely no sense, but they refused to explain it, what would you do?

Stuff like that happens alot. It really, really freaks you out(like major panic mode) at the time, but, it's pretty common among children. It's really funny that he looked both ways but didn't put on his shoes/coat...at least it shows that he's aware of danger.
Nick: Forgive me if I don't feel 100% "untouchable". That might seem like a good choice of words, but it doesn't describe how I feel. I'm trying not to stress, because that'll cause me lack of sleep and clarity... as if I have any of that to spare lately anyway? So please don't make anymore problems for me. I'm not saying I won't take responsibility for passing on what I hear to others on this site. But if people are turning discussions against me? My friends? If you can't support me in a clear manner, then I'm just asking that you keep your support silent, or between us on AIM. Posts are public knowledge, they're visible to anyone who wants to see. And they change opinions. If they didn't, you wouldn't post them - you're not here to interact with yourself, you're here to discuss. Yours are powerful, your words are chosen to invoke emotion. Even if I was untouchable, I certainly wouldn't want you against me, even a little. I'm not angry with you at all. All I wanted is that you not keep going in all the lawsuit threads around. Every time I read your posts there, I cringe. 98% of the rest make me feel good, though.
I haven't decided about the prerelease tomorrow. Is there a way to see if your DCI# is still valid? If I've been shut down, that'll help make my mind up.

I don't know, I hope that helps. As for the business... well. I won't say anything. I know how much its gonna bug you if someone else tries to show support and make something worse, maybe if you want to talk to pople though, you could try and find a web-based AIM? I don't use it so I don't know. Hope that helps too.
I'm probably going to go tomorrow. I'll use some other (or new) DCI number if my official one isn't valid anymore. Jonski said I need some fun. He said to go win some packs, so I'm thinking about it.

Boo on Cyan. Yay for ignore list.
Tawnos, I appologize for my bandwagon. I had never understood why you wern't posting but was told that it was that you stopped months ago, lurked, and ripped my buddy D-unit; So from that I had a negative impression of you. It didn't cross my mind that there might be a legit reason you wern't posting until now. I'm sorry.
Tawnos, sorry to hear about your situation, though you should have posted earlier. What did you expect us to think when all we see is you around, not letting us know anything and Daron not receiving cards? Anyways, I'm not bandwagoning against you or anything and nice to know you still exist.
Bel, good to know you didn't just vanish. Thanks for letting me know what happened.

Okay then, your words are "average", in comparison with all the "idiots" you're posting before and after.

I'm perfectly willing to stop posting in those threads, and soon as you give me a logical reason as to why I should. And no, sorry, I'm not one of your adoring fans, 'because I want you to' is not a good enough reason for me. I'm surprised we're having this conversation, I've never suffered from the 'Rancored_elf is a god and we should just swallow everything he says without thinking twice about it' delusion. Do you not remember the thread, in the mod lounge on news, when Loonook was banned and DPC was demodded? You didn't cow me then, and you're not going to cow me now. Not without explaining where you possibly get off making as serious of an accusation as 'you're endangering my family'. That is simply not funny and not acceptable, not when it's said to me. I have a family myself, and, to me at least, it would take a major crisis for me to accuse someone of endangering them. I can only hope that it's the same for you. If it is, considering that you brought that charge against me, you owe me an explanation, especially since you're also asking me for a favor in the process of making that attack on me. If it has no validity, and you just said it as a scare tactic, then, that is truly deplorable.
Just to clarify, this isn't something that you have to explain publicly. If there's some need for secrecy, IM me(I IMed you about it earlier but you didn't respond). PM me. Email me. Say something, other than 'because I said so'. Come on, this is me we're talking about, you must have known that I wouldn't go for that even as you were writing it. If you expect to use our relationship to get me to quit posting on those threads(and, for the record, I don't have any problem with that, I'm just not going to do it without a real reason), I expect you to respect that relationship enough to give me an explanation. It's a two way street.
*backs slowly out of thread*
Off to the pre-release! Going to lose money and have fun!:tongue3:
Bel came in here and started problems with ME. As usual, you have no clue what is actually going on, and just randomly blurt out the first thing that you think. Bel attacked me, and all I said back to him was to leave ME alone. If you're not even going to make an effort to be objective, then, that is your problem. But it just makes you look foolish.
Nope, that's not good enough for me. *Real* friends wouldn't make a request like that of each other to begin with, because it is inherently disrespectful. If you can't respect your 'friends' enough to tell them why you should make such a request, and make such an extreme accusation, then, it is very unrealistic to expect them to just go along with whatever you say. Besides, Daron has said himself, any number of times, that he doesn't have 'friends' online, he just thinks of us as acquaintances. But, that aside, you have to give to get, and that obvously isn't happening here. Put yourself in my shoes. If someone in your clan made a statement like 'the things you say are putting my family in danger', and it made absolutely no sense, but they refused to explain it, what would you do?
