DeadMan, I told you we should have sealed the deal when we wanted to...I got it out last night for 2 Cursed Scrolls, effectively...about the netdecking, I havent been there except for City Champs, which translates to 2 Scryb & Force, 2 Dralnu, 1 Boros/RGW GoodStuff deck, and 1 Angelfire deck. Then you have Akida and I running MBA and MBC respectively. As far as me coming down for FNM, care to pick me up and drop me off at work afterwards? Mom works Friday night, so I cant borrow the truck, and I need to be in work after FNM, so the bus is outta the question. oh, and for the 2HG PTQ, if its Standard, I've been working on another funky combo deck...Pulmonic Sliver + Crown of Convergence + Glare + Slivers...Slivers + Selesnya = tech...Hivestone with Watchwolf, Guardian of Vitu Ghazi, and Vitu Ghazi itself? massive Sliver tokens with a ton of abilities? beautiful...let me know...oh, and 2 Godless Shrines for Necrotic Slivers...
May Mephisticles curse you.....
Holy smokes Demchops, give Yukora some slack.
I told you it was a hot item, and the Cursed Scrolls work perfectly in my Chains deck...draw my one card for the turn, activate Scroll before chucking my card to Anvil of Bogardan...take 2, attack with Chronosavant, go...:-D Sliverglare's still a work in progress, but doesnt it sound promising? Fits the storyline, too, as the Weaver King unites both the Slivers and the Saprolings in his army against the rest of the world. Life and Limb works well here, too...Make all my Saprolings Forests, and all my Forests Saprolings, and look! Hivestone makes them all Slivers, too!!! well look at that! seems a little too casual, so let me know about whether we can change this...and DeadMan, Mephisticles? dude, Im not some demon's nutsack...
Next time you post popular opinions, please word them in such a way that they're not infractable. Someone may be widely thought to be the dullest tool in the shed, but you can't publicly call him that, which as a mod I can neither confirm nor deny that I fervently believe he's a tool.
I vote for the second one, its really good. I hope you guys all did good at the FNM specially cyanide(if he used my deck) I just got home from playing magic.
I saw 300 and what it lacked in story it made up in battle scenes they were crazy. Also my friends gave me a skateboard, it was their bday present to me

seriously, i really like the second one. even the slogan placeholder is funny, and gives me some ideas for a real slogan, as soon as i find something to fill in for "clan-slogan"
I hope you guys all did good at the FNM specially cyanide(if he used my deck) I just got home from playing magic.
well, apparently, none of us actually made it to FNM. driving was AWFUL in this crap ice-cube-storm.
I saw 300 and what it lacked in story it made up in battle scenes they were crazy. Also my friends gave me a skateboard, it was their bday present to me
excellent on both counts! i'll probably go see 300 in imax now

goc - Where's the nearest Imax? methinks I will check out 3C next weekend with my lady if possible...
as for the banners - good to hear I am heading in the right direction. Anyone have other ideas with regards to fonts, colors, other images/cards? I am working on a better background as well - that pale blue/purple was just a placeholder so I could get something up to show (you'd be amazed how hard it was to find a half-way usable picture of the bridge from a decent angle...). keep working on those slogans as well guys- nothing too corny please though...just because it's an inherently nerdy game, doesn't mean we can't have a cool slogan...

Themchops, your a genius!!! I love the sloagan, it's hilarious , "We got your clan sloagan right here" it's pretty funny , definatly a contender in my opinion. The bottom pic is definatly the one to go with , I like the lettering up top especially in that art and the coloring of that lettering. If that concept can be cleaned up and modified more , such as being smoothed out, it has huge potential.
other slogan options include:
- you wanna fight about it?
- Gesundheit!
- here we fold pizza
- "...Sorry we're late, but the D train was running on the R line over the bridge hitting every local stop, then there was a stalled train in front of ours so we sat for 25 minutes underground, but then we couldn't catch a cab here so instead we walked the 9 blocks from 34th where this homeless dude was hassling me because I tried to give him the rest of my egg mcmuffin but he wouldn't take it so I gave it this dog instead; true story. Are we too late for registration?..."
- Made from the best stuff on earth...no wait, that's Snapple
- slogan-schmlogan
- /sarcasm
- everybody poops
- "Mommy, what's a non-sequitur?"
I don't know if you can tell - I am aiming for something humorous...though serious slogan will not necessarily be rules out; if you guys want one badly enough.
@goc: goodluck dude, I will not be needing any as my girl likes artistically liberal historical pieces + frank miller + blood and guts.

IMAX is 2 blocks off Times Square, 44th and 8th, methinks...as for the Clan Slogan, why cant we play off the old joke about selling the Brooklyn Bridge? thats about as NY as NYC gets..."I can give you a great deal on MTGS, after all..." Sliverglare will be posted by late tonight, as Im gonna work on the deck post-awakening, pre-working. If anyone's up near Whitestone, E-mail me, and let me know, and I'll hand you a copy of the decklist, and we can work on it. If anyone feels like coming to Whitestone around midnight, we can do a midnight deck session at my place, as long as we keep quiet (sister and brother may be sleeping), or we can find a diner to sit at and think...
44th and 8th , huh? not terribly far from my work...are tickets some ridiculous overinflated Imax price, or just the usual most-expensive-movie-tickets-city-in-the-world-prices? let me know in case I need to balance my accounts before I can decide if seeing the movie is a good finacial decision...
Interesting, MxOrion....something like:
- Psst hey you, wanna buy a bridge?
- Have: Brooklyn Bridge / Want: Black Lotus, P9, ca$h
- Check out our Sales Thread: Brooklyn Bridge - you send first + pay shipping.

also im stuck in merrick long island right now, its so boring. I can't download firefox because my aunt isn't letting me. I hope you all had a good st.patricks day and didn't get too drunk.
On another note, soon my friend and I plan to go to marks comics for an fnm. He has this course to get his art portfolio better for colleges on saturday, but he'll do it one week with me
Edit: Shouldn't we post in the recruiting thread???

sadly... i can't drink right now, due to stomach issues. spent the night taking care of my sick-but-recovering girlfriend, saw the last half of LOTR 1 with her (now have to find time to get her to watch 2 and 3 ), and saw some really crazy fire performance group on some spanish station...
On another note, soon my friend and I plan to go to marks comics for an fnm. He has this course to get his art portfolio better for colleges on saturday, but he'll do it one week with me
of course, let us know when you're coming
so we all know to stay home that day
seriously, though, come on down

I had the most frustrating FNM last night. Decided I'd go despite the snow and slow bus service. Got there and had enough time to build a deck, so cool, no problem I sign up...
Since it's sealed deck we turn the decks in after opening them and randomly pick someone else's. Occasionally you are randomly selected to keep your deck. Well, not this time for me...
I got a deck that was nothing compared to the above (Yay Orgg and Opal Guardian)
Did poorly in the first two rounds (losing quickly in round one to a very good player and tieing round 2).
In the end it was fun and all, but damn it's frustrating to see those cards and not get to keep them!
I will probably play again next week although I usually don't go twice in a row, but I really feel like doing some constructed instead right now!
Catching up on the thread - I know I'm not a member or anything yet (I should apply shouldn't I?) but I like the Have: one bridge etc. choice.

Good to see mods around here don't "care enough"...f'ing typical.
Don't get me wrong, some Mods (Urzaseds, sneakyH, RancorE, Hydro and others) are totally rad but some of them are prima-donna "ish-heads" thinking they own the world and know-all because they have moderator-privileges. Like any of that matters in the real world, dark alleys or bad neighborhoods...
For example, see me getting several flaming warnings for badgering Kjin on the scepter-chant (EXT) thread (which I have been playing since it's construction/discovery) when he was clearly wrong and being a total d-bag about it; and then having to give JayC a neutral feedback (as a TRADING MOD no less - I should have neg-feedback'd him...) for not simul-sending as per our argeement, and his own admittal...wtf? seriously.
/rant. sorry all, just my thoughts.
Well, most of that wasn't exactly warranted, but it's good to know that you feel that way; I can only hope that the mods treat you better, then.:confused2: It's healthy to vent, and the way in which you did it was rather acceptable, I suppose.:)
Bad examples: Kroen, tneill, and .phoenix-dude, who truly transgressed and passed the line of venting.
speaking of thoughts, I have some good one for our banner, perhaps skeletal vamp swooping over the brooklyn bridge, or some such. I just can't seem to get it to look sweet since I am waaaay to drunk to properly operate my 'shoppery progs...sorry for any disappointments, check back tomorrow for something, hopefully....
goodnight all.
Oh, okay. You were drunk while making this post.
Why aren't you a candidate for Trading Forums mod? I mean, you've got all positive feedback and a lot of it. Stick around, trade more, and soon enough, Themchops, you'll be the one waving the almighty Banhammer and abusing your powers, or whatever it is that you see of ours mods, while not "caring enough" and being "prima donna"-ish.^_^
Seriously, why didn't you just give JayC the negative rating? If you feel threatened, why not just tell Lesurgo, who will arbitrate this matter in equality, as is his right and duty? Alternatively, you could see SapphireTri about this.
BTW, the oft-used, more-establish nicknames are: seds; sneaky, sneakles, sneakyhomo, sneak, sneaks; r_e; Hydro, bro.
sneaks was truly awesome.
I was extremely tired, and didn't even think to check. Just thought I'd cover all bases.
I've been dealing with a lot of personal crap recently, and I was exhausted when making the request.
*shrug* Sorry if that makes me a bad Mod.
Yeh, there's no need to diss Yukora or anything. Hope things get better for you, Ryan.:)
Quote from Themchops »
heh, Mods: can't post with them, can't remove them from the equation entirely...I just hate when Mods hide behind "personal problems" keeping them from being an effective member. Its fine if you have stuf outside of these forums, everyone else does too (or should, at least); but when you use that to "explain" poor Moderating it is lame and weak. The same should be said for moderating as with any job in life, if you cannot live up to the expectations and requirements of the job, step down or don't take it in the first place...common sense. I am a retail-warehouse manager by trade, and believe me, when someone can't make it to work reliably or their productivity takes a dip (barring extreme circumstances - but even then there's a leave of absence available...) I fire them. Period. Just like moderating a forum is any other job; if someone can't perform the basic funstions for whatever reason, there are always plenty of other candidates willing to step in and take that persons place.
my $.04 this time ( + 2 from last rant).
but enough about that...
yeah slogans...um I got nothing. Not to say those others brought up are crap, per se, but nothing's jumping out at me.
I am hungover as he11 I will do my best to have a banner or 2 up tooday for purposes of voting on. Keep those Suggestions coming, and slogans too, so I can try them out on said banners...anyone know a good site to host them? Photobucket is good, but there's always the possibility of bandwith issues - some shoot me a free image hosting site, or I suppose I could use my old XXX one...
...Let me know...
more later, I promise.
EDIT: anyone thinking about going to GP mass ?
Wow, chill there, Themchops. There's no need to get extremely riled just because of Yukora's comments, or anything, you know.
Moderators are people, too, just like you and I; they'll indubitably make a mistake in their moderation and life, just like you and I, and even god (of cyanide).
Quote from Yukora »
Ok, I am perfectly able to do my job while dealing with personal problems. Just because I didn't take a few seconds to check something doesn't make me a bad mod. Honestly, what did it hurt for me to simply post my request? I was then told that you guys had already fulfilled your responsibility, so there was nothing wrong.
And, another thing. I am not JayC, nor am I Kijin. Just because you've had problems with them in the past, doesn't give you any right to take it out on me. I've done nothing against you, so your condescending attitude is neither welcome, nor appreciated.
Yeh, I don't see why you had a blanket generalization (with some exceptions) of all the mods, Themchops.
"Kijin has always been a troll/flamer" in the paraphrased words of some The Called member, and JayC is, well, JayC; there's little to say about JayC - he only just started last year and hasn't made that great an impression like Almighty sneaks (given), Yukora (who is notable for a multitude of things), Hydro, r_e, Furor (Hail Furor, who, although shouldn't be compared with God, is equivalent to the latter, but not so ... if that makes any sense), Wolfwood (not that anyone new would remember him), etc.
Quote from RWT2S »
@Yukora and Mods- I know yukora pretty well from the coffeehouse. He is a good guy, and he's a new mod. Everyone slips up once in awhile, some mods have abused their privileges in the passed but making one post asking us to do something(even if was done already). He didn't issue any warning or infractions over anything here, and he hasn't abused his powers. Can this just be dead now, it was a mistake
I agree with this; Yukora's a good guy and he is a new Mod, so cut him some slack and generally chill.:)
Themchops, awesome banners.:thumbsup:

well, i understand 'chops' point here. saying, "oh, i'm going through some personal stuff" is a bit of a cop-out; i've seen people get fired for similar things. when you let anything personal "get in the way" - to whatever degree - of your job, it's time to step back. something similar to the flap over the first clan contest - yukora's personal feelings about the submissions almost influenced the running of the contest. blaming a bit of laziness on "personal problems" is not good business. i was all OK with it when yukora was just saying, "eh, i was lazy." to bring in "personal" crap is just making excuses...
Furor (Hail Furor, who, although shouldn't be compared with God, is equivalent to the latter, but not so ... if that makes any sense)
dunno if i'd mention furor and god in the same sentence. he was probably a better mod than an actual poster, if that makes any sense...
Hey god, seeing as you're clan is now established, you might want to document it in the wiki. M'kay? Thanks.:)
yeah, i'll get around to it. on my looooong list of things-to-do. by the way, do you like how i spruced up my user page? oh, and why do some user pages have "User:" and some don't? shouldn't it be all-or-none?

2 - my new sig is done, but i can't access my hosting service for some really bizarre reason, so it's not up yet. you can check it out in the [aether] thread for now...
3 - i am really going to sleep now. i think...
that "open good stuff and get back jank" crap happens to me whenever i have to register and return... so i feel your pain, bro. glad to hear you made the best of it, though.
Well, I'm in it for the fun - I would love to play some competitions because I never have before and I find better play means more fun. But I need to improve quite a bit.
as far as being a member... well, you live in new york, so if you'd like to be in, well... you're in! just let us know, and PM me with your bio thing if you'd like (same goes for all members who have not done so yet; it's not mandatory, though).
Well, if no one objects then, I'd like to join.
I've been playing Magic since 1996 off and on. Got in around 4th Edition, so I only ever saw some of those mythical cards (like the power nine) when I played other people back then... eventually dumped what I did have and then got back in during the Invasion block and now again with Time Spiral.
As if I needed one more forum to waste, *ahem* spend, too much time on. Law School doesn't leave much time for other stuff.
*edit* quickie side notes:
1 - welcome ombak, newest member of [NYC Dark Knights]!!!
Themchops......I LOVE the idea for the clan banner, thats a slick idea there buddy. Wow, it's 3am, do I really have to get up for work in 2 1/2 hours, then goto FNM with an untested deck, then possibly play a poker game after FNM??? Is this really happening? Anyways , looking foward to a post from our new member mr. fetterer, if your reading this , show me your alive you load. Also as far as the yankees and mets go........A-rodimus shoulda never been aquired, he's an a$$faced _o_kmaster, other then that comment, may the best team win. Just counting the days till football season starts again :P, but gladly MtG is ALWAYS in season!!
As the Dark Knight's rep, our first internal contest and/or voting will be for a clan sloagan, I feel we need one. Everyone feel free to post up ideas, I'm interested to hear some....here's a few of my own that I started to think of....
"We got Hakkon, you got Dakkon"
"NYC Dark Knights : Ride or Die"
Sup fellas how ya'll doin?

NYC DARK KNIGHTS cred to perv 90210 for the incredible sig.
well, i understand 'chops' point here. saying, "oh, i'm going through some personal stuff" is a bit of a cop-out; i've seen people get fired for similar things.
Indeed, "oh, i'm going through some personal stuff" is a bit of a cop-out; it's like, "is it that time of the month again?" snarky remarks that are oft-heard in middle school. *MM mumbles something about immature brats.*
when you let anything personal "get in the way" - to whatever degree - of your job, it's time to step back. something similar to the flap over the first clan contest - yukora's personal feelings about the submissions almost influenced the running of the contest. blaming a bit of laziness on "personal problems" is not good business. i was all OK with it when yukora was just saying, "eh, i was lazy." to bring in "personal" crap is just making excuses...
C'est la vie. Così è la vita! *Gulp.*
Sure, that's the real world; but at the moment, I don't see why anyone would appear to be so critical of his actions, given that they aren't unfavorable to the boards.
dunno if i'd mention furor and god in the same sentence. he was probably a better mod than an actual poster, if that makes any sense...
Indeed, and that's God, so as to avoid confusion with you, oh also worshipped one.^_^
Ever a member of MiseTings, goc? If yes, Gisgo is Furor. Furor is Gisgo. Gisgo was a laid-back porn-posting n00b-flaming Gisgo, who later became the best debator MTGS-posting, ever later-Mod, then even later-Global Mod Furor, if that makes any sense...
Also, as a Moderator, Furor appeared to have a greater sense of verve, with no disrespect to him intended, and humor. You can see for yourself; just read a couple of his posts. At one time, he was the "most-quoted member of MTGS", even!:o
yeah, i'll get around to it. on my looooong list of things-to-do. by the way, do you like how i spruced up my user page? oh, and why do some user pages have "User:" and some don't? shouldn't it be all-or-none?
Yeh, I do like your user page, *****. It's got a bit more content now, and it's also got a little plug to the 'disillusion asylum', and your poetry.
As for an explanation as to why some user pages have "User:", well, that's ... uh ... ... it's something that we (apparently we are also known as T3H ILLUMINATI, though) have agreed on.
I suppose I should like to tell you that it has something to do with the concept of 'prominence' (I hope you're not offended by this utterly trivial, not to mention subjective, even faux elitist, thing; feel free to create a redirect to your page, or just move it to "god of cyanide" from "User:god of cyanide", or something:)); now that it is said, why is it that you inquire, my dear god?:)
Well, I'm in it for the fun - I would love to play some competitions because I never have before and I find better play means more fun. But I need to improve quite a bit.
that's absolutely the right spirit! definitely come out to some bigger competitions; hang around with us some, too, as we're generally a helpful group when it comes to playing/deckbuilding/etc. magic is much better the better everyone is at the game.

never been on misetings. MTGS is the only magic-based forum i've spent any serious quantity of time on. the majority of my dealings with furor here had been in the debate forum, where we were destined to butt heads (obv) on a positional level. my only non-debating contact with him was when some young republican kid complained to him about my lack of capitalization. at least he handled it "professionally." in general, now, i stay FAR from the debate forum; i find people don't want to actually debate there much at all.

i'm not offended, necessarily, by it at all. i just found it odd to see when i went to the alpha-list of users to see that some were "User:" and some were not, and figured, of anyone here, you'd be the person to ask. and, yeah, i'll be editing that page to get rid of that "User:" crap tag, sooner or later. it's not a big deal to me, like, "OMG gotta do it NOW," but it will be done, as it is written.
on a side note, jen, i see that, after all of your "i'm staying/leaving/minimizing my usage" in the [499] threads of late... you're now a member of [Ghost Mafia]. i'm not being critical of you... they've got some cool peeps over there. guess you just couldn't escape the pull of MTGS, eh?

And if I've offended you, I'm sorry, but maybe you need to be offended. But here's my apology and one more thing...
as for the banners - good to hear I am heading in the right direction. Anyone have other ideas with regards to fonts, colors, other images/cards? I am working on a better background as well - that pale blue/purple was just a placeholder so I could get something up to show (you'd be amazed how hard it was to find a half-way usable picture of the bridge from a decent angle...). keep working on those slogans as well guys- nothing too corny please though...just because it's an inherently nerdy game, doesn't mean we can't have a cool slogan...
decks:
EDH - Riku, Xiahou, Konda, Azusa
modern - Past in Flames, Onmi-show
vintage - Drains, Oath
coup de grace:
it's in manhattan somewhere... i just am not remembering exactly where right now. i usually find it in the paper
i'm going to try to convince my girl to come see it in imax... wish me luck

And if I've offended you, I'm sorry, but maybe you need to be offended. But here's my apology and one more thing...
- you wanna fight about it?
- Gesundheit!
- here we fold pizza
- "...Sorry we're late, but the D train was running on the R line over the bridge hitting every local stop, then there was a stalled train in front of ours so we sat for 25 minutes underground, but then we couldn't catch a cab here so instead we walked the 9 blocks from 34th where this homeless dude was hassling me because I tried to give him the rest of my egg mcmuffin but he wouldn't take it so I gave it this dog instead; true story. Are we too late for registration?..."
- Made from the best stuff on earth...no wait, that's Snapple
- slogan-schmlogan
- /sarcasm
- everybody poops
- "Mommy, what's a non-sequitur?"
I don't know if you can tell - I am aiming for something humorous...though serious slogan will not necessarily be rules out; if you guys want one badly enough.
@goc: goodluck dude, I will not be needing any as my girl likes artistically liberal historical pieces + frank miller + blood and guts.

Interesting, MxOrion....something like:
- Psst hey you, wanna buy a bridge?
- Have: Brooklyn Bridge / Want: Black Lotus, P9, ca$h
- Check out our Sales Thread: Brooklyn Bridge - you send first + pay shipping.

Flawless victory!
You got my vote
also im stuck in merrick long island right now, its so boring. I can't download firefox because my aunt isn't letting me. I hope you all had a good st.patricks day and didn't get too drunk.
On another note, soon my friend and I plan to go to marks comics for an fnm. He has this course to get his art portfolio better for colleges on saturday, but he'll do it one week with me
Edit: Shouldn't we post in the recruiting thread???

well, i spoke with orion earlier, and he's down with it.
sadly... i can't drink right now, due to stomach issues. spent the night taking care of my sick-but-recovering girlfriend, saw the last half of LOTR 1 with her (now have to find time to get her to watch 2 and 3 ), and saw some really crazy fire performance group on some spanish station...
of course, let us know when you're coming
probably. i'll get cracking on it... perhaps after some sleep, though

And I opened (among others):
1x Magus of the Tabernacle (Foil)
1x Ancestral Vision
1x Groundbreaker (My most wanted card right now - I have 2, want a playset)
1x Chronozoa
1x Walk the Aeons
I got a deck that was nothing compared to the above (Yay Orgg and Opal Guardian)
Did poorly in the first two rounds (losing quickly in round one to a very good player and tieing round 2).
In the end it was fun and all, but damn it's frustrating to see those cards and not get to keep them!
I will probably play again next week although I usually don't go twice in a row, but I really feel like doing some constructed instead right now!
Catching up on the thread - I know I'm not a member or anything yet (I should apply shouldn't I?) but I like the Have: one bridge etc. choice.

that "open good stuff and get back jank" crap happens to me whenever i have to register and return... so i feel your pain, bro. glad to hear you made the best of it, though.
as far as being a member... well, you live in new york, so if you'd like to be in, well... you're in! just let us know, and PM me with your bio thing if you'd like (same goes for all members who have not done so yet; it's not mandatory, though).

Bad examples: Kroen, tneill, and .phoenix-dude, who truly transgressed and passed the line of venting.
Why aren't you a candidate for Trading Forums mod? I mean, you've got all positive feedback and a lot of it. Stick around, trade more, and soon enough, Themchops, you'll be the one waving the almighty Banhammer and abusing your powers, or whatever it is that you see of ours mods, while not "caring enough" and being "prima donna"-ish.^_^
Seriously, why didn't you just give JayC the negative rating? If you feel threatened, why not just tell Lesurgo, who will arbitrate this matter in equality, as is his right and duty? Alternatively, you could see SapphireTri about this.
BTW, the oft-used, more-establish nicknames are: seds; sneaky, sneakles, sneakyhomo, sneak, sneaks; r_e; Hydro, bro.
sneaks was truly awesome.
Yeh, there's no need to diss Yukora or anything. Hope things get better for you, Ryan.:)
Wow, chill there, Themchops. There's no need to get extremely riled just because of Yukora's comments, or anything, you know.
Moderators are people, too, just like you and I; they'll indubitably make a mistake in their moderation and life, just like you and I, and even god (of cyanide).
Yeh, I don't see why you had a blanket generalization (with some exceptions) of all the mods, Themchops.
"Kijin has always been a troll/flamer" in the paraphrased words of some The Called member, and JayC is, well, JayC; there's little to say about JayC - he only just started last year and hasn't made that great an impression like Almighty sneaks (given), Yukora (who is notable for a multitude of things), Hydro, r_e, Furor (Hail Furor, who, although shouldn't be compared with God, is equivalent to the latter, but not so ... if that makes any sense), Wolfwood (not that anyone new would remember him), etc.
I agree with this; Yukora's a good guy and he is a new Mod, so cut him some slack and generally chill.:)
Themchops, awesome banners.:thumbsup:
LOL.:rofl:
Hey god, seeing as you're clan is now established, you might want to document it in the wiki. M'kay? Thanks.:)
well, i understand 'chops' point here. saying, "oh, i'm going through some personal stuff" is a bit of a cop-out; i've seen people get fired for similar things. when you let anything personal "get in the way" - to whatever degree - of your job, it's time to step back. something similar to the flap over the first clan contest - yukora's personal feelings about the submissions almost influenced the running of the contest. blaming a bit of laziness on "personal problems" is not good business. i was all OK with it when yukora was just saying, "eh, i was lazy." to bring in "personal" crap is just making excuses...
dunno if i'd mention furor and god in the same sentence. he was probably a better mod than an actual poster, if that makes any sense...
yeah, i'll get around to it. on my looooong list of things-to-do. by the way, do you like how i spruced up my user page? oh, and why do some user pages have "User:" and some don't? shouldn't it be all-or-none?
*edit* quickie side notes:
1 - welcome ombak, newest member of [NYC Dark Knights]!!!
2 - my new sig is done, but i can't access my hosting service for some really bizarre reason, so it's not up yet. you can check it out in the [aether] thread for now...
3 - i am really going to sleep now. i think...

I've been playing Magic since 1996 off and on. Got in around 4th Edition, so I only ever saw some of those mythical cards (like the power nine) when I played other people back then... eventually dumped what I did have and then got back in during the Invasion block and now again with Time Spiral.
As if I needed one more forum to waste, *ahem* spend, too much time on. Law School doesn't leave much time for other stuff.
As they say on the internets: w00t. What is this sleep you speak of?

Sure, that's the real world; but at the moment, I don't see why anyone would appear to be so critical of his actions, given that they aren't unfavorable to the boards.
Indeed, and that's God, so as to avoid confusion with you, oh also worshipped one.^_^
Ever a member of MiseTings, goc? If yes, Gisgo is Furor. Furor is Gisgo. Gisgo was a laid-back porn-posting n00b-flaming Gisgo, who later became the best debator MTGS-posting, ever later-Mod, then even later-Global Mod Furor, if that makes any sense...
Also, as a Moderator, Furor appeared to have a greater sense of verve, with no disrespect to him intended, and humor. You can see for yourself; just read a couple of his posts. At one time, he was the "most-quoted member of MTGS", even!:o
Yeh, I do like your user page, *****. It's got a bit more content now, and it's also got a little plug to the 'disillusion asylum', and your poetry.
As for an explanation as to why some user pages have "User:", well, that's ... uh ... ... it's something that we (apparently we are also known as T3H ILLUMINATI, though) have agreed on.
I suppose I should like to tell you that it has something to do with the concept of 'prominence' (I hope you're not offended by this utterly trivial, not to mention subjective, even faux elitist, thing; feel free to create a redirect to your page, or just move it to "god of cyanide" from "User:god of cyanide", or something:)); now that it is said, why is it that you inquire, my dear god?:)
that's absolutely the right spirit! definitely come out to some bigger competitions; hang around with us some, too, as we're generally a helpful group when it comes to playing/deckbuilding/etc. magic is much better the better everyone is at the game.
understood. how far along in law school are you?
yeah, sometimes i don't know of it either.
doing fine, dude. POST MORE
well, i just think yukora's still in the learning curve. i suspect he'll come out of all this just fine. he seems to be a decent and reasonably intelligent person.
never been on misetings. MTGS is the only magic-based forum i've spent any serious quantity of time on. the majority of my dealings with furor here had been in the debate forum, where we were destined to butt heads (obv) on a positional level. my only non-debating contact with him was when some young republican kid complained to him about my lack of capitalization. at least he handled it "professionally." in general, now, i stay FAR from the debate forum; i find people don't want to actually debate there much at all.
i'm not offended, necessarily, by it at all. i just found it odd to see when i went to the alpha-list of users to see that some were "User:" and some were not, and figured, of anyone here, you'd be the person to ask. and, yeah, i'll be editing that page to get rid of that "User:"
craptag, sooner or later. it's not a big deal to me, like, "OMG gotta do it NOW," but it will be done, as it is written.on a side note, jen, i see that, after all of your "i'm staying/leaving/minimizing my usage" in the [499] threads of late... you're now a member of [Ghost Mafia]. i'm not being critical of you... they've got some cool peeps over there. guess you just couldn't escape the pull of MTGS, eh?
