New topic! All right! *Sips tea* Anybody see any of the World Cup games? Germany deserved that one, and they won, too, after Poland collapsed once one of their players got a red card. And the Tunisia-Saudi Arabia game was also great. I was counting out Tunisia because they were playing terribly in the second half, but they scored at the last possible moment.
No job searching for me today; I'm just relaxing. I'm going out to dinner tonight with my dad.
Hi, Ryan, Hi, Danica. *waves*
Whew, I'm gone for like three hours and look what happens.
(By the way, PurpleD, thanks for the dance. I could have danced all night. ;))
As for the Spam: the problem is that people have just been posting too fast, with the result being we're not even really listening to each other anymore, just posting. My advice is to slow down, read, comment, and try to use a single post for more than one thing (i.e. comment on more than one topic) - as Alacar says, make your posts count. Like Janus does.
SAC REVAMPED - be careful on 4chan! Don't let the trolls get you.
So Ryan, Danica - how was your trip? *brews tea*
Edit: About the novels - I haven't read any of them. I started on the Betrayers of Kamigawa novel, and didn't finish. For some reason I haven't ever been too interested in Magic novels.
All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.
Finally, a new thread! Maybe now I can keep up with things around here. I somehow dobut it though. My activitiy has been even less than usual since I'm in the process of gettting my room painted.
As for the novels, I thought the Rav book was pretty good and the Guildpact one was even better. I have yet to pick up the Dissension one, or anything Dissension for that matter.
The trip was expensive but well worth it. The flights gave us time to either talk or hang out. The wedding went well, her friend is still in the midst of her finals right now. There were fights, there were hugs, and people were met and, well, analyzed by me. Danica realized that I'm quite good at reading people
Overall, things happened that made her learn about herself, and I learned more about her past. Overall, I'm tired. I'm working again now, and Danica starts work tomorrow. So, I'm thinking some down time with each other is going to be needed. As a result, we'll check in on you guys later tonight. As for now, we're going to do something, whether it be reading or something else.
I myself plan to be working on my Rise bio at some point soon. Despite how nice of a trip it was, I still cannot describe how good it feels to be sitting in front of a computer that actually works again ^_^. I have a lot I want to do with my time too...
Oh, and before I forget. My luggage was briefly lost on the final trip home, but now I'm going to be getting that luggage back. So all is well in that sense.
Ah, there's so much to do...

Yes, but are you good at understanding them?
Rise is a text-based role-playing game in which each character plays a ghost. Photon Eater started it.
Ryan, Danica - Rise has been going well. We've got a number of people posting, right now it's mostly characterization, not a lot of combat or anything.
It'd probably be a good idea to start an account there so you can look over what people have written so far.
Also, while I'm at it:
Here's a cycle of commons for my set. I'm wondering about power level. Ideas?
2W
Creature - Spirit
1/3
Vigilance
When ~ comes into play, you may sacrifice it. If you do, search your library for an Aura card, reveal it and put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
1U
Creature - Elemental
1/1
Flying
When ~ comes into play, you may sacrifice it. If you do, return target creature to its owner's hand.
1BB
Creature - Devil
2/1
Fear
When ~ comes into play, you may sacrifice it. If you do, target creature gets -3/-3 until end of turn.
3R
Creature - Elemental
3/2
First strike
When ~ comes into play, you may sacrifice it. If you do, destroy target land.
1GG
Creature - Elemental
2/2 1G: regenerate ~.
When ~ comes into play, you may sacrifice it. If you do, put target noncreature permanent on top of its owner's library.
All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.
Whew. Hey, guys. I'll get that HugaTron post up and edited soon
HURRAY! Arguas and Omna are back *hugs*
Congratulations again, Yukora. You don't know how lucky you two are to be living together like that. I'd give anything to be with my Heather the way you two are.
Academy playtesting is going well, and I'll have version 1.2 (with lots of changes) up soon.
As for novels, I've read Ravnica. I loved it I want to get GP and DIS but I can't afford the fat packs. I also own the Prophecy novel but I haven't read it yet (ironic, since I own a full set of Prophecy :))
*waves to mamelon* I agree with mamelon that people post too fast in here, leading to very little content. Slow down a little, read carefully, and post all-in-one, if you can.
Hi everyone! New thread! Welcome back Omna/Arguas! I missded posting for almost the whole day!
Well. How is everyone? I'm really tired. I've been playing sprts all day. I need a nap. Or caffeine. Yes. Caffeine. COUNTER HOP!!!!
*Hops counter*
*grabs 3 Blaks*
*Lays on floor*
*goes to sleep*
I thought that the Ravnica novel was bad in that nothing happens until a little less than halfway into the book. I haven't read Guildpact or Dissension yet, though, so the story might end up well. My favorite cycle of novels was definitely the Invasion block, followed by the Kamigawa block. Toshi's my favorite character. *Sips tea*
Toshi is great, hopefully someday he'll be back. In Dominaria.
I liked both of Ravnica and Guildpact mostly because I enjoyed the character development in the beginning of each of them. You don't make a book with nonstop action, that would feel kind of stupid.
Also: I wrote some flavor text for academy! Fun!

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.
Update on Academy. Version 1.2 is now available for playtesting, with some new flavor text and p/t, casting cost, and ability changes on a handful of cards. This is meant to help the set be more two- to five-color friendly. Please update your MWS as needed. If you have a problem let me know.
And thanks goes out to Omna for the Hug-A-Tron holding the fort
I think you missed S_A as the first Regular of the Week.
If you can find that particular post, I'll give you a cookie and have the Hug-A-Tron put it up.
In other news, I'm gonna go to a ceremony honoring soldiers later this evening on base, then out to Sonic to eat. I'll be out for a handful of hours or so
And yes, Yamaneko, as cute as the kitty on your avvy is right now, we miss the cuteness (actually, Lynx would probably cut my throat out for saying such a thing )
Thanks a million, Yukora. Musta missed Sterling Angel and Psychoburner! *Alacar gives Yukora a bag of popcorn and some chocolate milk It's high time I started eating some of that myself.
Alright, off to shower and get ready for this military ceremony-thing. Later, people!
I tend to avoid one line as much as possible. But then again I try to keep my posts short and sweet. Probably something I need to work on...
@Alacar: You should probably pick the novels up on Amazon. The three novels together will probably only cost you about 25 bucks. GP and Dis together goes for around 18.50. Strikingly close to a fat pack tho so I dunno...
Edit: Or better yet there's always E-bay where you can pick them both up right now for around 13.50.
That "party" was about us all being Happy! I started that. You started nothing :p. Well. I'm glad now that I got done with white design for "Crystalyx". NOw I've got to go to blue. But I need to work on something else for a while...
