Cranial Insertion is this site's only draw in terms of articles. MTGCast is good, but they have their own site. Everytime I go to an event, people come up to me and say they love CI, but think every other article on the site is horrible. It must have happened 10-12 times at GP Philly alone. And, since I read all of the articles, I have to agree. Everyone who doesn't write CI is terrible to varying degrees.
Thus, I propose we dispense trying to be an article site and just run CI. All in favor?
Well, I can't say I really have much footing here (given that I don't actually read most of the articles), but if they're really as bad as you say, then go for it. I'd rather have a site full of CI than a site full of crap with some CI mixed in.

Go read! I am one of the three authors of Cranial Insertion.
But seriously, if you can't remember "Woapalanne", just call me Eli.
I know my articles aren't great but I didn't think they were that bad.
Frankly I think this is just a ploy for the CI writers to hog all of Rancored_Elf's prize money.
I was under the impression that said prize money would be gone. If we killed off the other articles, then there would be no reason to compete over "good" articles anymore, so there would be no more reason for R_E to hand out AotM money.
*shrug*
I was never writing articles anyway and I don't read most of what's posted, so I supposed this really doesn't affect me much.

I don't care if I was framed for murder if I only got a warning I would let it go.

Come on... that's been a scam from the word go. We need SOME incentive to get people to write for free.
