Yeah, I know I should. It's just, never going to one before and everything, I would feel better going with someone else who has never gone to one before. I just don't really know what they are like exactly, because I haven't even been to a tournament before. But my friend is coming over today, so I'll ask him and see if he can convince his parents. If not, maybe I will go anyway, except I don't really have a ride. That can be fixed easily enough though.
Even if he doesn't go you should. Some of the best Magic memories I have are ar Pre-Releases. Nothing beats an all day Limited event IMO. Plus new cards and literally hundreds of people to trade with.
That said, you deserve this. And i now your secret little place aswell
*checks locks on bathroom door*
Just got internet back, it's been down for about 4 hours and luckily I've found something else to do. I'm sorting through all my draft chaff from the last 4 years. It's been piling up in a number of longboxes at the foot of my bed. Much of it is foreign, most of it is not tournament quality. Mostly commons and a few uncommons, with the only rares I've seen so far today being Ben-Ben, Akki Hermit and Root Elemental.
If you guys have any ideas as to the best way to get rid of these, let me know. I've been thinking putting them on Ebay as one or more giant 500 card lots for cheap - maybe a dollar a box plus shipping.
Sets range from Invasion block to TS. Language choices include Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, German, French, Russian.
There are some mildly playable commons in there - Yamabushi's Flame, Electrostatic bolt, Azorius First-Wing, Farseek, Elves of Deep Shadow, Goblin Sledder , among others - I just can't be bothered trying to find homes for all of them separately. I figure I'd post it here first so people can take batches and then the rest will go on Ebay.
Hello once again, coffeehouse. Been a while. Looks good to see things are going well. A lot of new faces.
Anyways, I'm back now. I'd like to apologize for taking a four month break. (three month? Bah, I don't even care...) And if it is so permissable, I'd like to be back on the regular list. I'll be more active, obviously.
Wanna wish everyone a happy holidays, albeit extremely late. I'd also like a cup of espresso, whoever is serving it these days. Oh, and if you think I'm going to read over a full thread, and 2000 more of these posts to catch up, I laugh at you.
@SB: Go, dude. Prereleases are part of the reason that I'm still playing magic. It's a great experience. If you want your first one to be your best, then I'd wait until the next block comes out. Going to the prerelese of the first set in a block is DEFINITELY the best time to do it. But it's your choice. If your friend can't go, then be sure to tell him ALL ABOUT your wonderful experience.
@MW: SUSPENDED?!?? I'm ashamed at you...:p
EDIT: Red text invades MTGS ONCE AGAIN!!!! *evil laugh*
And snoopdogg.. I really have a quite smallish collection that i'm always looking to expand upon, plus Arguas and I tend to share cards, so if you want to give us some of those cards, I know we'd love it.. I know I would because I really like collecting cards, and this stuff would definitely be fun to build decks with.... I'm slowly and surely learning about constructed play so that kind of thing might help... I know you've already helped out a lot, recently but I can help you get rid of those if you like... I'd enjoy having them... or someone else... either wya, really... I'm just putting my hand up for bid
EDIT: Welcome back Jack.. *serves Jack espresso* and remember...... Red text is mine for Hostess duties:p And you know, you need to prove yourself worhty of bein' back on the regulars list
Well, then don't misinterpret it! Really!
@MW
Calm down. You seem like a cool person, but it is just a game (cliche), and its not worth getting suspended over. Also, it will suck to have to pay for the wall. A few of my friends have punched the wall, and one of thm hit a stud or something like that, and hurt his hand really badly, and had to go to the ER. Don't puch the wall.
@Pokemon
Go go Omanyte! Definitly my favorite (but not most powerful) one. Also, hate most other rock pokemon, and all poison pokemon (including crobat). Down w/ poison!
@Strongbad Imperious. Go to the Prerelease. Give Wotc more money!
@Patron of the Nerds
Any chance your going to the Pitt prerelease? your location says your from there, and I'm going to it.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
Lol, thanks everybody, we'll see. Oh, and is anyone here going to the prerelease in the Bay Area, CA by any chance? I'm not sure exactly where it is, probably San Jose. Anyway, that would be cool if I saw one of you there.
And I didn't even notice that I got post #1900. Cool!! Me want cookie...
Yeah, I will get a decklist up later ( because I actually need to sit down and go through the deck as we changed it again earlier today). Sacred Ground is annoying, but lucky for me, it is played that much in my area as 90 percent of the players are boros, with a small showing of Goblins with Blood Moon, a random ( but good) Dragonstorm player, and a few other random decks of peoples own creations.
THe prerelease is this weekend Nai, so go to one and marvel at the wonders of Planar Chaos! One of the members of my group is determined to get Foil Damnation ( so how much is that gonna be worth, like a million ****ing dollars? Pardon my french). I really do want to go and do some sealed stuff ( cuz im the nutz at it), but I must be strong and stay away....away....
And one more random thing: I didnt know Rice Crispies were so damn good!
I may go to the MN PR, but only if one of my friends who always asks people to spend money there for him does it again. So basically I'd enjoy drafting again and give my friend all the cards.
here you are strongbad.
I can still remember the first time I saw pokemon, my cousin was playing red/blue version before my aunts wedding. He was fighting drowsee's east of Lavender Town. That was when I was 8, and I got my own for my 9th birthday. Anyone think its weird I can remember all that? My first party was a Blastoise, and thats all I thought mattered. I never learned how to change up your party members the first time, so I had a level 90 Blastoise that tried to destroy the elite four again, and again, and again, but could never do it. After he fainted it fell to a bunch of level 20's to finish the battle :p.
@Pokemon: Wow, what a game. its the kind of game people want to say "Pffft, thats for babys" but then they pick it up, and theyre like, "Whoa...this is awesome!!" you can play it again and again without it being old. its one of those games that sits on my shelf till i have the craving for it again. And when i get bored it supplies some good times
@PC pre: Man i hope i can pick up a damnation at least at the prerelease, in all my magic years i have NEVER gotten a good card at the pre <_<
Mreh...just got an email. The money I wired to Germany for my ebay cards apparently didn't make it to their account. Sent it last week, just now confirmed that the bank ID and account number were correct...somehow it didn't go through tho I've asked him to check with the bank again in the morning, which I will have to do with my bank as well, see what happened to my wire..I got a confirmation of debit in the mail last Weds but does anyone know if theres a delay depositing on the other end? Doesn't seem like there should be...it's a direct wire for crissake.
i really don't need any more hassles. This and applying to school and losing my job has me on the ropes/
edit: I think god is trying to tell me somethng "Dont order overseas anymore"
I'd like to go to the pre-release, but I just can't afford it. It's either swimming and cinema, or pre-release. And since I've promised to go one one...
@Jack: Welcome back!
@SDA: Sorry to hear that - sure does seem like God's sending you the message. You must be jinxed!
Does anyone have the time to do a NetDraft (starting in the next hour)?
'Fox.
Well this is actually kinda familiar...last year I tried to order a box of german Ravnica and the same thing happened, I sent a wire and asked him if he had gotten it. He said no, I checked back in a week and he still said no, but then I called the bank and he called his bank and only after speaking to a clerk were either one of us able to confirm that his bank had indeed received a wire for him. I guess if you get money in yr account the bank doesn't tell you. Or it doesn't appear in yr online statement right away or something like that.
It's just one of many thing recnetly that have told me not to be online ordering things. But with the last store in our town closing this is the only way i can get most cards. I've become uber paranoid about sending and receiving anything of value. Even so, it seems like every month a new crisis begins. I'm beginning to believe that the electronic age is a sham, and that sending things across the international borders is really as risky and haphazard as it was 100 years ago. we take for granted the distances and differences between us and assume that because it can happen smoothly, it should happens smotthly every time. This is a mistake, and people need to keep working on the system to make sure it hasn't brokendown somewhere.
It's unlikely that I'll go to the prerelease (in Minneapolis, Minnesota for me), due mostly to time issues and also to money issues. I'm not excited for the set, so I think this will be one of the ones that I skip. (That said, I tend to get excited about weird rares, and few rares have been revealed yet. One of the thorough weaknesses of this set is that at least so far, nothing is being done that's not already possible to do, so there's not much in the way of new arcane combos, and arcane combos are my thing.)
EDIT: OMG, new Braids just broke my heart in a good way. I was really hoping for something sweet and unique to go with the amazing art, and we got it.
EDIT: OMG Dust Elemental is totally sweet and awesome.
If it wasn't for the mechanical tie to the original Braids, I would have written the ability off a bit, but as far as I'm concerned, it's the perfect mechanic for a Braids redeemed; it ties in mechanically with her older card (doing more or less the opposite thing), and it ties in flavorfully with who Braids is - she has always been a summoner. Personally, I really like how they've been doing legends lately; most of them really do feel one-of-a-kind. (Radha is a bit of a miss in this regard, for me; making mana is unglamourous, and the two abilities don't work together at all, something I hate on cards. I would have dropped the Llanowar Elves ability and made her attack trigger generate two mana of any one color.)
In other news, it looks like a rarity cycle of red splits, but no others? This set is %#!$'n weird.
@Danica: Yeeahhh....I know. I'll prove it. Don't worry about that. It's just school can be such a dog that is female sometimes, if'en ya know what I mean.
And, as was before, I'd let you use red text for your duties. BUT NO ONE ELSE, GOT IT?!!!??...Still loud and proud.
@FL: Yummy espresso. *sips* And don't worry...I plan to stay MUCH longer....at least as long as the site lives on.
@Alacar: But...but...FLOODING THE COFFEEHOUSE WITH NOISE WAS MY SPECIALTYYYY!!!!.......Eh, maybe I'll tone it down this time.
@Everyone: Good to be back. I've been in a good mood lately. Why? Well..............
...

I FINALLY GOT MY OWN STRING BASS!!!!!!!!
I'll get a pic up later tonight. It might be too blindingly amazing to look at, though, so be careful.
EDIT: Joyd, I agree. Braids is in real good flavor with her character in the story lines.
Braids.. hmm.. I don't like it. Combo decks will like it with Paradox Haze, but meh. The art is wonderful though.. My Johnny side would like it normally, but this set has thrown my creativity compass into a mad spiral.
Shadowfox: What's the draft, and who's in it?
Dust Elemental is.. very white. Weird. The name seems to suggest something else.
Great. I just got back from the doctor, and it turns out my body is all out of whack. For some reason, no matter how muh I sleep, my body doesn't replenish any energy. I couls sleep for an entire day, and it won't matter, I will still have as little energy as I had when I went to sleep.
@Jack, welcome back goober. I knew you wouldn't be gone for long.
@Jack: Hello jack i dont think i met you before my name is kevin but you can call me by my nick name cecilia. It is great to meet more people in the coffeehouse.
@Blue Braids: I really like the blue braids as well and i think it could be a great asset in decks like reanimator and etc. Also possibly in survival of the fittest decks as well in the legacy format.
@Yukora: oh my yukora i really hope you will be alright. I will be praying for you and I hope you will get better.. *hugs yukora*
@mamelon: yes mamelon i will definetly will be on aol messenger actually i am on aol messenger at the moment and will be until late tonight. Hopefully to talk to you soon. *hugs*
Well I am going to get going ill be on aol messenger if anyone needs or wants to talk to me. See you all soon and best wishes to everyone as well! *hugs everyone in the coffeehouse*
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I just got a prescription for caffeine pills, but that's just for the short-term. I hope thay can figure out the problem quickly.
Hmmm... Is it my behavior? My name? My avvy/sig? Well, anyway, I can confirm that I am indeed not a girl
There are certain cues which tend to be associated with one gender or another. I always imagine your name sounding like "seh-neigh" and don't think of it as being particularly masculine or feminine.
Quote from Alacar Leoricar »
Gender: This is why I don't use women on my avvy, no matter how hot they are.
My past couple avatars have been little boys . . . I wonder if people think of me, then, as being some kind of little munchkin. Maybe next time, my avatar will be of a little boy grinning impishly, with devil wings, so I'll look evil and cute at the same time. It'll be "Awwww" followed by "Ahhhhh!"
Maybe everyone should just put in their sig the gender they'd like to be seen as . . . "I'm actually a boy," or "No really, I'm a girl," or something like that. Then some people can just have "Gender? No comment."
Quote from Urazii »
Well, then don't misinterpret it! Really!
I have, and I shall. *snicker*
@Braids: I like the blue Braids, I'm thinking of getting some.
@Yukora: You could have chronic fatigue syndrome, hypoglycemia, or hypersomnia caused by something (like depression, for example).
