@Mr. Stuff: See, I'm the other way round - I really like the Giants, but less so the Haruchai.
@Language: The only language I am particularly skilled in is German. I took four years of classes in it in high school, and retained a good bit of it. I've always been interested in language; I certainly plan to learn a few more eventually.

But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.

Yep, those four are the languages I've grasped thus far If possible, I'd love to learn Spanish and Italian as well, the latter in particular.
I know only how to say 'hello' and 'goodbye' in Chinese, but I don't know how to spell those words
I think that, to the Dutch, speaking multiple languages comes natural, seeing as how we are, in a way, a relatively small nation of traders.
@ Wessel & Cubus:
Would you agree to the above statement?
@ Sephiroth:
I've been meaning to ask you, why is your country set to Sikkim, if you live in Norwich?
@ Alacar:
I'm trying to come up with cardnames and flavor texts, could you tell me more about the plot and its characters?
*Alacar serves up Umgenni's tea while getting ready for classes
Janus, I wish I could go into greater detail on the characters right now, but I'm gonna have to wait on posting the plot infos until after my classes are through. I WILL get some info to you though.
My best suggestion would be that if you want to help with coming up ideas, visit the Academy website on my sig and look at some of the cards and you'll get a good idea of some of the plot/characters, I guess.
I love language and linguistics (especially conlangs!), but I sort of struggle to learn actual natural languages. I took four years of Spanish in high school and two more terms in college, and I sort of struggled with it. (I like speaking it, but I struggle with reading it.)
Isn't it 6? That's my count, anyway... but you could be right. Hopefully the fad won't die out by the time voting comes up. Not like anything can beat "TITS AND COOTERS" anyway.
Nothing much going on here. The Patriots-Colts game was sweet because the Patriots lost and, even better, Brady was crap. Next I have fitness class (like gym).
Just poking around the MTGS awards nominations and it looks like Mamelon's got a chance to be Nicest Member--she's got 7 nominations
Photon's got 5 for Funniest Member.. hm..
Mortal Wombat's got 7 for Best Custom Tag..
With one more nomination, I'd be tied with KCW for the last remaining "Best Avatar" spot. The top 4 are nan, RickCorgan, Mr. Bloody Minded, and CharlieD, with the last spot still left in contention right now.
As far as languages, I speak Spanish and Japanese moderately well. The Japanese is self taught, and the Spanish was 4 years in HS and 2 in a University.
I'm off work now, and for the first time we had to take inbound calls today. We took calls for "Feed the Children", those things you always see on TV on Sunday afternoons where you can pledge so many cents a day to feed starving children. It's actually not as bad as I thought it'd be. The calls only come in about every half-hour or so, so I only got six during my whole 5 hour shift (whilst doing outgoing calls for another organization). We haven't started the other campaign which is selling sheets of uncut money, though, and that may start tomorrow. It's supposed to be more active.
@Mr. Stuff: I kept telling myself throughout the year to vote for your avatar when the time came, but when I had to vote yours completely slipped my mind. I voted for Mr. Bloody Minded instead. Your avvy always grabs my eye and it would be a shame if it didn't get nominated.
Just got back from a gym class. I need to take a shower, but I'd rather take a nap first.
hello everyone, I am pretty happy that mamelon is going to have a good chance at winning the nicest member award. Well just 6 more weeks left of clinical training for this semester so I am pushing myself into gear and trying to pass on 5 more x-ray exams starting from tommorrow morning. I also tried my luck by posting in the debate forums under heaven and hell and I thought i did kind of bad.
@janus: thanks for the cappucino:p
@mamelon: i hope your having a good day at work today and also thanks for the cookies.:D
anyways I am going to go ill post later though. See ya all later.
Hey all, I'm trying to build a :symr::symw::symu: deck with Firemane Control and AkromaResurrection, complete with Lighting Angel and Flying Men. Any suggestions on what else I should include in the deck? I want to make it T2 legal.
I ran something like that for the T2 tournament the site held here about a month back. However, I didnt run Ressurection or Flying men. Here would be my take on the list:
Edit 2: Just now noticed that you posted a sample list... you took a more of an aggro offensive root, while I took a more controlish Blue Counter Route. I guess either could work for a base, just taking the same thing in two different directions.
Edit 3: I also took the mana base from my other deck, but I dont like the current mana base, I would probably from that take a Plains and put in another Flagstones, and take a plains and mountain for 2 more Islands.
Well, Nemcon, even though I'm keeping it T2, I wanted the deck to be less counter-control because my group is all about multiplayer, and he who plays counters in a multiplayer deck shall get pwned. I still have everything you've listed however (Draining Whelk, Cancel, Leak just SB'd in), except the third Lightning Angel. I figured Aggro is a better route for multiplayer.
Ah, I didnt know you were looking at it from a multiplayer standpoint. With that , I would probably take out the leaks and cancels for probably a little more burn and maybe a Demonfire or two. From my experience with the list games may stall out against two control decks, and dropping a fatal uncounterable 'fire could end the stall. I can't say much on the Whelk though for multiplayer, because if it hits anything over 4 CMC, your getting at least a 5/5 and a counter for 4UU, which is quite a deal, especially if you hit something 6-7.
Hey guys.. just a reminder.. i've only been around on the Forums since April of 2006 so i'm eligible for the Rookie award.. Just a gentle reminder..
Get in line, chica. A lot of us joined this year. And some of us have actually been in threads that DON'T serve biscotti.
Not that I want a nom or anything. I could care less, although I do admit it makes me feel good to get noms for funniest. I don't have a snowball's chance in Hell, but still. It's nice to know at least a couple people find me entertaining and aren't just "OH God, Photon - IGNORE".

[16:23] Alacar Leoricar: maybe if you do it'll make the porn more meaningful
How about disintegrate and telling time? Disintegrate removes firemane from the game which can be key in the mirror. Plus its a general direct damage spell which can be good later in the game. Telling time is good for early card quality. Also teferi, mage of zhalfir can be great against decks that run alot of spot creature removal like devouring light and condemn plus it gives all of your creatures flash which is good in the aggro type of set up. Then there is sacred mesa and pride of the clouds to give you the ability to create a ton of creature tokens which can be brilliant in games.
Photon: I dont ignore you. I find some of the stuff you said very entertaining and at time very deep and thoughtful.
As for some of the categories, I did not nominate. Why? I did not belive I could currently judge someone solely for my nomination. I really dont know if i ever will nominate in all categories.
kevinliu2333: I actually like the idea of Teferi in the deck, as from experience he is quite a pain in the ass if hes gotten out in a multiplayer game.
Well, I don't have any demonfires, but I'm instead running Helix and E-Lyze for burn. I do like the idea of the Whelk, though. I just wish I could get more Lightning Angels. They're sexy.
The Wrath was for the Blast, straight up. I can get Wraths a lot easier than Blasts.
As for the bolts, they were from 4th.
Serra Avenger is good. REALLY good. I love the idea of it alone. It's a perfect fit in my Astral Slide deck because I need the free mana to cycle. It's a perfect fit as a late game fattie in my White Weenie deck. And it's perfect in my upcoming :symr::symw::symu: deck because, well, early game I'm gonna be Psiblasting, Helixing, and E-lyzing, not to mention using Flying Men.
Thanks goes to Crimson Avatar--he's gonna trade me everything else I need for the deck (except I'll be short a Lighting Angel. No biggie)

Mind you, ours is not an easy language to master It lacks an important part of the logic of structure that many other European languages have.

Maybe it's true...otherwise why would so many native English speakers have a difficult time learning foreign languages?
I know that's a generalization. I'm only half-facetious, though.

I'll try to contribute as much as possible, but with my busy schedule, that may be difficult at time.
Langauges: I only know English and German. My school makes it hard to take more than one at once.
And you can call me Madame Marie Curie, the famous scientist, Counterspell, Magica De Spell, or plain old Photon Eater.
I took 4 years of French in high school, and I don't remember a damn word of it.
Aw, that's too bad. Your teacher must not have been beating you hard enough!
