I went to the mall today, and I'm proud to announce that I now own a full anime series!!

I bought Serial Experiments Lain. I really like it - it's intruiging, but at the moment it's confusing me a little bit, so I'll most probably re-watch it.

Congrats! It's confusing you a little bit? ROFL. I don't know if it makes more sense if you watch it even like, 5 times, but it might.

I found out today that there is a pop-culture expo next weekend, called Supanova. Now, I've been waiting to go to one of these things, and this seems like the perfect time - the voice actor of Sasuke, Yuri Lowenthal, and the voice of Temari, Tara Platt, are going to be there. Plus, i'm pretty sure they have a Legacy event, so I'll check that out. It'll be fun!!

Conventions are pretty generally awesome, as a rule. I'm not big on voice actors - I go to find out about, see and discuss new series, and because people are selling stuff that you can't find anywhere else. Plus, they generally have at least one videogame room where you can play to your heart's content.

@AL: My packs weren't the greatest either, but hey that's what trading is for, right? I did get a Gleancrawler though... Hrmm. I'm not sure of the direction I want to take the deck in right now.

@Nai: Glad to hear your friend is well, not quite alright, but at least coming home.

@Packs: I got two cards I can DEFINITELY use and two cards for me SB - but not a single card I NEEDED. Not complaining tho. It could be far far worse.

@Nai: Awesome news there! Good to hear.

Today tho... I have no clue what I'm doing besides this little draft thing later today. Oye - boredom.

nai: I can empathize with you. My best friend also joined the army, and he also got home, safe and sound. I felt much the same way as you do, and I'm happy for you.

Alacar, I haven't received my packs yet. Just letting you know.

@Nai: I'm actually glad to hear that your friend was pulled out. Frankly, I disagree that he was where he was needed when he was deployed; nobody needs to be over there right now, and we didn't need to be over there in the first place, but I'm sure I'm treasounous for saying that.

Someone who used to be my best friend was sent to Iraq, and I was really happy to know he was coming home. That's a huge can o'worms to open up, though, so I don't feel like elaborating at the moment.

Alacarm, I haven't received anything from you, and I'm considering punching you in the face because of it.

I'm in a bit of a bad mood today. Last night, something got me really down, and I still sort of have that residual day after gloom, you know what I mean?

However, we're gonna play d20 Future today, which will be the first time we've actually had a session of a game around a table in like... 6 or 7 months?

Sorry boys. You weren't on the list Alacar posted. PM me or post your pics and I'll whip 'em up for you (if Alacar is still too short on time to them, that is).

I'm sorry about passing out crappy packs. I dunno if Alacar usually does edits for quality or whatnot. I actually cringed when I saw some of the sets that were generated.

Yeah, I didn't get mine either, so I guess I wasn't on Ala's list, which is understandable considering I didn't really choose anything. I don't know if I get 2 or 3. If 3, I'd like 2 Apocalypse and 1 Dissension. If 2, just one of each, please. Thanks :).

Well this is probably my last post before I leave for the Midwest. I hope everyone has a great week next week, and hopefully I'll be able to post a couple times at least.

Sorry, Kraj, I didn't know you were doing them this week instead of Alacar. My bad, yo. In any event, I'd like three Betrayers of Kamigawa this time around. Gotta get me some Ronin Warclubs!

No biggie. Do you know what Photon wants, while I'm at it?

I'll take 216 packs of Homelands, please.

Actually, I'll take however many I am alloted for not having played anything this week of Homelands. Is Homelands Legacy legal? If not, give me Mercadian Masques.

Also, are special packs being handed out?

Well, most of us already got our special packs for April, but I know you didn't. If Kraj and/or Alacar don't mind, I could do Photon's special pack. Save someone the trouble =)

I'd like three packs of Legends, myself.

Ugh, the suspense of waiting for my judge in the FCC is killing me.:-/

I already did Alice in Wonderland on Kingdom Hearts. For the tourney you start at for Hercules, should I just stock pile as many elixers as I can before I go into it, or am I just that bad?:-/

Sorry, Photon. I didn't realize you were lurking.

Sounds fair to me.

I'm pretty sure it is. I'll double check. (BTW, if you're kidding about these choices, speak up. I'm gullible like that.)

I don't mind at all but it's really Alacar's call. I'm just helping out.

I'll get right on those packs, everyone.

No, I totally want Homelands. I have something evil planned.

You'll never believe this, but its snowing outside. Yes, you read that correctly. Snowing. In April. In New Mexico.

Its crazy weird weather. Yesterday, it was sunny and you could be wearing shorts. Not today!

Anywho, I'd like to get my PCL packs. Please. I think I was on Alacar's list, but whatever. I'd like 2 Invasion and 1 Dissention. Also, I second the question of getting special packs.

Even without getting them, I'm up for a game, so PM or IM me if you wanna play.

I'm gonna go finish checking everything.

Here's the first batch. Check back in THIS post for the rest of the packs.

Indeed you were. Your packs are in this post.

Quote from Umgenni Kemo

But Kraj, if you give out packs again, I think it would be more convenient for us to receive them via PM, if that'd won't be too much a problem. It makes them far easier for us to find and keep track of.

If that's easier for everyone I'd be happy to C&P them into PMs for people. I didn't do that initially because I wanted Alacar to be able to see them in case I did something wrong.

Good afternoon Coffeedrinkers!

I just ran into an old friend yesterday when I went to go get my taxes done (that was a disaster which I'll save for another post).

I wandered over to his house where some of our old casual regulars from FNMs long ago were playing. Lucky me, I had decks on me. It's been about 23328 years since I played constructed. Unfortunately, one of my friends has gotten his underage girlfriend pregnant and they can't pay the rent...I had hoped that sort of shortsightedness had become merely an urban legend, but here in Maryland it's a way of life for some. Just the same I wished them congratulations, even thiogh I know it's a bad spot to be in.

Looking around the house now for my student loan interest records so I can get a $2000 discount on my tax payment this year. How could something that important be printed on such a small slip of paper? I may not even have it, it may have gone to the old address :S

They woulnd't happen to live in PG County, would they?

Sometimes the statements/bills you receive for the loan will have the info printed right on there. Maybe you can check them?

Oh, cruel fate! I got some good trade stuff in my boosters, but no warclubs. Maybe next time =)

There's too much I need for my deck right now, unfortunately. Ultimately to make the deck complete I need these:



Most of that is sideboard, but better safe than sorry.

Harmonize is notoriously hard to get ahold of in the league ~_~;;

I PMed Alacar the other day - the packs I requested were a Dissension, a Scourge, and a Time Spiral.
I didn't get a special pack - do we need to say what kind of cards we wanted?

Quote from Alacar »

Not to rain on your parade, but you should appreciate what sacrifices he made to do something like leave our country to go to Iraq. I'm glad he's coming home, but don't make it sound like he narrowly avoided getting dismembered. My dad was in Iraq for 2 years, and as much as I wanted him home, I'm glad he went--that's where the Army needed him.

When my friend was going to go live in China, I knew she was going according to her own goals, but I was desperately worried about her. And when she'd come back, I would have been very relieved, like Nai is. Just because his absence had meaning doesn't mean he can't be glad it's over. Having anyone you love gone for a long time is hard, especially when they could be in serious danger. I really don't think that deprecates what was given, though.

By the way, Alacar, you seem to be very upset or disturbed lately. You wanna talk about it?

@Dreia: That teddy bear you made is so cute! I smiled pretty big at that.

Quote from Mamelon »

You can go as far as requesting specific cards for your special pack. At least I did and I got what I wanted.

And I can't believe I missed Alacar's quote but... I know you have someone very close to you in Iraq but the perspective on how to feel in this case is different from person to person. Honestly a friend of mine almost DID get dismembered in Iraq - he's a medic and almost got his arm taken off by a grenade.... that was a while ago tho. This doesn't mean what you said is necessarily wrong - just unique to you...

That is all...

Edit: I see you Omna: Sorry you couldn't join the draft - that combined with my headache of connecting to the host was just disappointing...

Oh, my bad Kraj! I didn't even notice that. Thanks for the packs. I think I got a few good things out of them.

I'm gonna go make a few changes to the deck and if anyone is up for a game, let me know. If not, I'll go play some more ToS.

I haven't gotten packs or special packs. I'll take dissension packs, and my wants list in the trade thread is probably a good guide to what I want in terms of special pack stuff.
