"Talkin outta turn....That's a paddlin'. Starin' at my sandals....That's a paddlin'. Paddlin' the school canoe....You better believe that's a paddlin'!" --Jasper
My little brother did that, and I erased it when I saw the reaction, sorry dude. Between the persecution for being gay, and the ridicule of being an alcoholic (non-practicing), he has become bitter and at times hateful toward certain groups.
No need to Apologize. I said I wasn't offended...not like I expect everyone to like America. There is a reason why I claimed to be Canadian while trekking through Sabah, Malaysia.
I'd think people would be more accepting of homosexuality in Canada. And what's a non-practicing Alcoholic? I'd think he'd get support and praise for quitting more than anything else. *Shrug* Whatever....no harm no foul.
Anyway, the $500b did go through, but it wasn't actually a bailout, it's a line of credit. Basically the FDIC can now tap into half a trillion if needed. Their job, as you probably know, is to plug holes if banks fail. Word has it that JP Morgan is next, and most are saying if that goes, half a trillion won't even be a drop in the bucket. We're talking $100 TRILLION in derivatives and other nonsense. You can't bail that out. That's double the GDP of the Earth.
Are you sure that the $500 billion passed? I'm not disputing it, just that the last I heard it was just a proposal. Something the FDIC said it needed in the likely case that more bailouts are needed.
There is talk of just letting some of the banks fail. City and Bank of America being the two big ones. Thing is, if they fail there's no one around big enough to buy them up which will be a big problem. Though I think that's more of a problem...and more likely...with AIG. Not sure what bank is next, but there will be many...what...20 or so have already failed with a projected 100 or more by the end of the year? You'll have to explain how the failure of JP'll cause a $100 trillion ripple....it's a big bank but they arn't worth near that much and though their failure would cause a huge disruption I can't see how that disruption would affect capital that does not even exist.
I wish I hadn't come running in here when I was freaked out though, bothering you guys with exactly the same crap that got me out of here in the first place. Sorry
Nothing wrong with talking about this stuff. It needs to be talked about and it can be interesting. Ending every single post with a "**** America and **** Americans" message for weeks on end is the only thing that was bothering anyone. Remember, those of us who responded to you're diatribes agreed with all the specific points. People just get tired of being condemned on a day to day basis.
So I'll be going on a week long hiatus. Heading to Vegas to go rock climbing with the rock climbing club. I'm excited...real rock in a dynamic area...plus I can say hi to family. That's always good. I might be able to drop by from time to time while visiting family. But I could use a week away from computers and schools and whatever.
Take care ya'll
Cheers,
Daggertooth

And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.
Hey guys!
Just a shout out from an old member
I recently dusted off the old d20 and popped by an FNM; so I figured I better stop by MTGsalvation for some news! Glad to see you guys are all active!
Anyways; hi again!
Bah, Australian weather, months or blistering hot weather, then rain when you want to go camping, I havn't been camping in yonks, I don't plan to either, I have never been one for hiking up the mountain ranges =p I like flat ground.
Friday was the last day of the term for me. I ended up with a 3.88 GPA for the term which brings me to ~3.85 overall. I'm aiming for no less than 3.75 so I can get highest honors.
My final webpage project can be found here. It's not the best, but I only spent 2-3 days on it. I was too busy helping everyone else with theirs. If anyone's interested, the rest of the class sites can be found here.
@Brian. II didn't revamp your side of NinjaKitty for my final project. He put too many restrictions on it and it started looking funky. I'm still working on it on the side, though.

Funny...I scored 4 of those at the PTQ!!!:D:D:banana: Just Path's though. I'll get the Hellsparks soon. I had to shell out $12 a piece for them. well....I traded a bunch of crap to get them.:D
Aren't they perrrty? They look so much better in person. I went 2-3 drop. When I lost to the mirror with him running Shackles I called it quits. Oh well...back to standard!

I usually play 25 lands, I still get flooded sometimes, but this is MWS we are talking about =p
As far as the clan contest goes, I vote for the Baloth. It's a picture that could be put on any non-elf green creature card and nobody would blink. Too generic.
I'm going to agree with Votan and SP...Baloth loses this one between it and Scion. I think the scion is bad but not as bad as the Baloth.
Thursday....maybe I'll try to get back into standard by hitting the FNM tomorrow...we'll see what the wife says.:p

sorry votan....I knew that but I cap things at strange times in my posts. I play competitive Magic all the time. I just done playing in 3 Extended PTQ's for Honolulu, didn't to so great! I played Fae but I made tweaks here and there and got burn by my own problems each time. I was either mana flooded and mana screwed when I lost. if I curved out in a game...I won every time. It's really frustrating, but I love the game and still play a lot. I've gone to focusing on Standard again since there isn't another Extndo ptq nearby until next year. I guess I could drive 3 hours...but I don't liek doing that for tourneys to often. Gonna start playing FNM again since I don't have enough cards to make more than one deck per format. I played Fae in Standard...will continue to play it until it rotates out in October. I'll probably build a bant deck as well....I need to study up on the current meta...shame all we have to go on is FNM's.
I've thought about going for judgeship, but I love to play to much and hate to watch.

The Inversions on the sideboard can easily become Terror if you're not facing down a lot of Tidehollow Scullers. However ever since LSV took second there's been a lot of BW idiots online. Having the ability to ex out small black critters is nice. Also, I *really* want to move those Hurricanes maindeck (replacing a warhammer, a command and both threshers most likely). They're awesome for dealing with spectral proc tokens (thus keeping Garruk alive for longer), Broodmate Dragons, Walls, Fae (espescially those damned sowers), and for just plain deading the other dude.
Fun times. IMO it's the best deck for the current metagame. Hehehe, some 5 color idiot just tapped out for BMD a few hours ago on MWS. I take advantage by using Garruk to fuel a 7 point Hurricane, then smash for 5 (shriekmaw and a Wayfinder). Clearly having not learned his lesson, he then taps out on the next turn for Cruel Ultimatum. I mise a lucky Profane Command, and X him out with it :D. Of course if he didn't ultimatum I was gonna overrun with Garruk and kill him anyways so :-/.
Fae is pretty good right now as well, but a lot of people are hating on it. I'd feel a bit nervous bringing them to a tourney where I don't get a bye through the first 3 rounds. Something about running up against FaeHate.dec that goes 0 fer against the entire rest of the field but wins 80% of the games against faeries. *shrugs* I don't like getting hated out of the tournament by random scrubs who can't correctly metagame.
Oh, clan contestry. I agree the picture on baloth is lame as hell.
I was told today that this kid on my team called 911 twice this morning and hung up both times. They called back and his dad answered. The reason the kid called 911? He got an erection and didn't know what to do. I wish I was making this up.
TFO, it goes through fits + starts. No posts for six months, then a flood, then none.
