Hey Loran, I'd love to help you. BTW, Im good with some aggro, a little control, and Combo. <3 Combo. Lol. I finally finished, my science. Would you guys belieive this may be the firts time I get to sleep b4 Midnight in 4 mos? Wow. Feels Good.
I have a RG aggressive deck that has done well on magic-league pre honolulu. It is still rough and some changes need to be made. I require a few guys to help me playtest the deck vs other decks and to fine tune it.
sign me up...i'm an experience deckbuilder (mostly rogue ideas) and hav good understanding of different archetype whether in T2 or Legacy or Vintage (do i need to post my resume? :D)
on a side note:

The coming weeks will be very interesting as to how Standard will develop. I think saying control is dead is an exaggeration, but the Gruul and Orzhov creature strategies are really giving them a run for their money. I think the format will essentially come down to a redistribution and reiteration of removal spells. Pro Tour Honolulu seems to predict a very open format after all with only little Rock, Paper, Scissors feel left that looks very exciting to explore and compete in. Good luck for your next T2 tournment.
when was the last time u heard 'stompy' is the decks to beat huh?*

Well the official thread is open for the contest. SO we need to figure out our flag, since we have our anthem.
A few words on the final flag. It should be like an actual flag, and should barely have detail, because if somsone sees it from far away its not going to mean crap. So with that said, I really don't think that #1 will go over very well, because of the fading with the colors and the "The Zoo" in the upper right corner. For some of the same reasons I don't really think that #3 will work out very well either, better than #1 but not as well, because you will see somehting in the middle, but you won't really be able to tell it is Isamaru. So, personally, I would suggest #2 and #4. I am not saying #2 because it is my own, but because it is simple, realistic, and is able to be seen from a distance. #4 people might think is "itialian facist" but I think that is the best one out of the 2. Maybe if #2 was shopped and fixed to be smoother it might look better. But thats for all of us to decide.
I prefer the third, still. The idea isn't always that you can make out every detail on a flag, just that you know that something is there. votan used his own country's flag as an example, and it works well. To me, all I can see is that there is something there, but I have no idea what it is. But to the people that actually know the flag, it's not just a something.
Excellent...#4 is gaining ground and could (and SHOULD) be our flag. While I do love Issamaroo and often bring a foil copy with me to bed every night, I think the combination of the two guild symbols sends a powerful message of the nature of the [ZOO], and zoo decks in general; assembling an army to win via damage and burn.

The vote is
#3-5,
#1-5 once we take out samurai and oasis. Hmmm, seems like we're pretty split.

I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.

i refer to it as blending and wording problem and have contacted E about tweaking it a lil bit. We will soon see a rendition of it, wont we?
so my vote = #1
but I think that the best one out of the bunch is #1. Maybe if #1 was shopped and fixed to be smoother it might look better. But thats for all of us to decide. (heh ;))
Anyway, I dont like #3 because it looks like we took a random country's flag (which have all The Zoo's colors) and slap on a well knwn face of The Zoo -> Isamaroo (no need to stress on the esses, i knw because i'm an asian)
the idea is simple and elegant but some people on the voting will think that we cant came up with an original idea of our own. we all knw this is NOT true but do they?
And eventho' #4 is part my idea, I still incline more towards something which looks like an actual flag but not really an actual flag...knw what i'm sayin? (the same can be said about #2)
So vote for #1 now folks~ Hurry! Hurry! CLICK HERE (oh wait, we vote here now?)
on a sidenote, @PotN, you need to edit the front page...
i think Honorary Members is a bit misleading because they're not actually a member of The Zoo...why not replace it with Honorary Friends instead?
and AFAIK, theres no one by the name 'members' in either former clans so maybe you'd like to remove that?
and, again, i'll request that you write my name this way (smallcap on the k) :-
kobisjeruk, The Reckless - Gruul's Grunt
thats not too much to ask from a VERY active member of this clan rite?

Dude, that is so um ... um ... Dog's fault! Yeah! his fault! PotN=Perfection
:symrg:Now that I see that, I vote for #1. I also think that Magic_pie should be an honorary member, or honorary friend or whatever because without him, we wouldn't have half of this clan:symrg:
I think that the new 1 is the best, so if all are in favor I will post that flag, and the anthem on the front page - The Zoo in front of all the lines except the first one.
just what i thought it'll look like...no scratch that, EVEN better than that...u're t3h man dude~

The Zoo, together at last,
Forever kicking ass,
So fast and so mad,
So much more than a fad.
Deeper than .dec

cool~ cool~! :):D:cool:;):p What do you guys think?

another clanmember change vote to #1...so yay for me~ (why do i yay for myself? its not like i've been promoted to the leader status :confused2:)
and to quote the original leader of the Gruul Clans:-
Quote from magic_pie »
I am very very sorry to anounce this but i am going to leave the gruul.
It has been really fun leading you guys into crazy rampages and i will miss the clan.
I will stay the leader until you choose a new leader and then the person should make a new thread.
when this new thread is made be sure to put me as a friend.
Goodbye
so i think he should be an honorary friend, OR at least a friend of The Zoo (because he's not an active poster anymore)
u meant to say The Zoo in front of JUST the first line rite?
Exactly

So in that case should we make Max an honorary member as well? I would probably think not. It is their own choice not to be active, and I don't really think that we should give them honoraryness.But! That is all my opinion. It all comes down to what WoD and PotN think.
If no one has any logical objections I will post the flag and anthem in the contest thread on monday, because I won't be home tonight, and since tomorrow is St. Patty's day here I will not be able to work a computer and I don't know how many people are going to be on on sunday, so the deadline to come up with GOOD reasons for not using the flag #1 and PotN anthem is Monday at about 6:00 AM EST.
Don't have much else to say, didn't do well in FNM yesterday, my girl finished 3rd and is laughing at me all day...
How did you have an FNM on thursday?
You know that your shop can get in a lot of trouble for not running FNM on friday. Like all the points people have recieved in the past X years is revoced...They loose DCI sponcership...a whole bunch of other crap too. They guy who owns my shop called Wizards up about the one shop around us who was running FNM on Wednsdays, and yea. But now they are saying you must have a lvl1 judge to run FNM anymore. Tot ry and bring that down and because they need more judges.
I'd loe FNM on thursadays, LOL, I cpuld actually go, being Jewish and all... yuck. What in the hell are we to do about a flag? AND WHY THE **** AM I STRANGLING MYSELF WITH A PARI OF HEADPHONES!?
You mean with the anthem?
I don't think we would really have to. Just have it like:
The Zoo, A
B
C
D
E
Because I don't remember the lines. But thats basically how it would go.
