Oct 6, 2008Lol, hi, Soron.Posted in: Thoughts on Religion.
Did you just contradict yourself, "I don't care WHO you are, theist; atheist; agnostic; me; or you, YOU'RE WRONG"?
And, there still people who believe that faith and logic are mutually exclusive and incompatible?
... well, okay... -

Thanks, Photon. Ololol.
Awesome entry. -
Aug 18, 20089909 posted a message on Non Youtube related topic: LifeMike, it's called a rebound (revenge [something], or maybe not). And thanks; MM'ing, huh?Posted in: SapphireTri's WTFery
Anyhow, I imagine she's not talking to you; in fact, she's probably doing her best to avoid you - whether that's in all facets, or just not taking you seriously and stuff. Chances are, she's doing this through her rebound; he's simply for comfort/pleasure (not necessarily in that sense; he's a distraction).
Hell, if she's stupid and weak enough, she'll change because of him - and I'm sure that'll probably piss you off.
If you find someone to rebound to, heck, take her, I guess. Guys don't get all that much say into the matter, anyway. Sucks, huh? I feel for you, mate.
I'm sure her new boyfriend won't last for till the end of their days or anything; 'they' say that '90%' of rebounds fail... but, then again, there's always that 10%, and that's an average rebound relationship, no necessarily the one going on with your ex.
You clearly care about and for her. I really can't offer you any advice; sorry.
There are woman that actually care and respect a guy, but sometimes there are those who do so and they'll stop after something goes wrong.
They're such she-dogs!
I'm not like that, but yeah...
Dude, get the heck off YouTube and do productive stuff.
You sound like you're really, really bored or have a dearth of things to do.
No one gets us.
No one gets women (not even us).
Perhaps you should ask people their understanding of relationships and stuff... ???
Good luck, Mike, and take care. -
Apr 29, 2007Dzien dobry, Umgenni Kemo.:)Posted in: Umgenni's Journal
It's such a pleasure to read your posts, and that you are back (not that you were gone).
You say that you have connection troubles? Unfortunately, this dear reader has little knowledge of fixing connections and whatnot; however, she does recommend that one should ask the ISP or a computer technician. -
Apr 29, 2007On your studies, I deeply feel for you; it's such a pity that you didn't get the course that you wanted. I hope that my well-wishing is enough, otherwise I can offer little more than that, unfortunately. Perhaps you could seek to this issue further and better your circumstances?Posted in: Umgenni's Journal
You will not, and shall not, fail 'like that' (not that you have at all) for the rest of your life, dear. You are Jędrzej, and nothing is impossible. -

I'm no card designer, but yes, that is quite a worry. (Maybe a fail-safe clause that prevents such a occurrence?)Quote from Joyd »I was just worried that the second copy of "Has the abilities of each other sliver in play" would cause it to get yet another two copies from the other one, and so on.
Interesting card, and I sure hope that you win!:) -

Quote of the day.Quote from FurorThis thread is in terrible taste, and if you can't report important news without recommending courses of action that result in us being tricked into reading the phrase "frothy mix of lube and fecal matter," stop ****ing posting on this site. -
Feb 11, 20079909 posted a message on Vision burns, vinegar in my mouthWell, from my experience, I have no idea about being 23, but I'll do my best at identifying with you there, Mamelon.Posted in: Litte Jar of Mamelon
With regards to everything else, I feel you, Mam. Heck, everything besides the first few paragraphs are also relevant to me.
How profound.:sweat: I wish I were more like you.
Well, anyways, I hope any transition is good transition for you. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
TBH, what was the Lebanese of the times then?
Uh, perhaps so.
Something about the thread title is pissing me off right now, but it could be me right now.
Yeah, definitely.
However, what is 'over-encumbering'? I know what 'encumber' is, but what is this?
Lol, I do not know what to say about this but carry on, Oklahomans.
FYI, it's gist. Jist is a nonstandard alternative, but the English language would appreciate it jist (jist, of course, doubles as a nonstandard form of just)fine if you kept it to not so colorful and alternative.
I hope that reflects you and not the people of Oklahoma.
Yes, we can read Wikipedia too. However, perhaps we might also notice that it fails to acknowledge a proper source for all of its questionable claims and that it fails to resolve the inconsistency re. no melanin v. some melanin: "There is no blue pigmentation either in the iris or in the ocular fluid. Dissection reveals that the iris pigment epithelium is brownish black due to the presence of melanin. Unlike brown eyes, blue eyes have low concentrations of melanin in the stroma of the iris, which lies in front of the dark epithelium."
Do you have an original opinion or thought with regard to the news report or this conclusion put forth in this recent study, though?
Speaking of which, if someone could post a link to the article by Lalueza-Fox, that would be great.The doi for the research report is 10.1038/nature12960.
Hey, a collaborator of a collaborator and a sort-of collaborator is an author on that. Would you look at that!
Wow. I had to re-read this sentence thrice. Fewer thoughs or a different construction would better it.
Cool.
Fascinating, but also what of it?
At the same time, race and all this stuff is important and has profound implications, but it is also not very important.
Oh, happy Australia Day, lol!
Right, thanks. Much appreciated!
It's hilarious but also scathing and sad.
So, to you, it's all academic and it's a word.
Well, okay. It's all fine as long as you don't play with guns and hurt people, I guess.
We can all agree to this. However,
I do think you have read and interpreted Joneleth Irenicus's post properly. Joneleth is suggesting that, for the black pack, for instance, you can pull either a Mogis or Phenax. He (or she) isn't suggesting that you could pull multiple gods in a given pack, though.
In any case, how does Mogis share its colours with black? Black is black; it most definitely doesn't share red with Mogis.
Red is quite good too and, depending on your criteria, could be better than blue. It's all hypothetical, though.
What are you on about? Besides, of what I can make from your post, you're misinterpreting the article by McArtor; you are reading what you want to read, believing what you want to believe. However, that isn't the truth or a valid interpretation of the position of McArtor or his words. If anything, you should provide evidence in support of what you are saying because it is a bigger stretch than the possibility of receiving only one god per colour. A more appropriate interpretation would be that - oh, never mind; here:
That is more reasonable than the possibility of only receiving one god per colour, as, indeed, there are two gods that comply with the condition 'of the colour'.
No, it doesn't. There are other hypotheses that could be exhausted before it most likely means that Mogis is solely in the black prerelease pack.
Besides, it is only for the sake of example.
However, if there is only one god per colour, this would be reasonable.
Who is this Brimaz guy anyway?
Why is this thread full of liquor, lol?
You're either intentionally missing the point or not, eh.
Eh, no one is going to sue fan artists or alterists.
FYI, I deliberately phrased it as a question to set up the thread in a discursive manner. If I should be more careful in the future, do advise me so I can set up a thread for discussion and a thread for Q&A differently.
I agree that being on the same page is probably important on working towards the solution to this.
Haha, even 'worse' (more serious) than I thought. So, the words to the wise here are don't appropriate what isn't yours or what you aren't permitted to use?
If so, I concur.
This is the not the actual topic of discussion, you must realize.
Due respect, I do not appreciate this tried and trued approach and attitude that is part and parcel of MTGS. I see it in discussions and debates to which staff users and non-staff users alike are partisan.
The final line, "I really wasn't narrowing anything so much as making sure we could answer your question.", is telling. This isn't my question and it certainly isn't a personal thing; this is an issue that concerns the forum at large. Moreover, the choice of "answer" is interesting, as there is no simple answer with which to adequately respond to and dispense of this issue. In fact, "answer" suggests to me that this is something that is done not as a matter of fact but as a matter of form. The questions raised are to stimulate an honest dialogue and discussion, which might be rather refreshing, and not to seek answers.
That aside, the issues at hand are these:
The thread is of a multifarious nature. Though I do not agree with any user who attempts to deceive or has deceived another user and steals from Wizards and damages its properties, it nevertheless seems hypocritical and inconsistent to cast judgment upon users when the equally serious issue of altered arts has not been discussed or it has and it has been found, with whatever reasoning (up to this point not shown), that altered artwork is somehow acceptable. If the rationale can be laid out, fine; we're all much obliged.
The facts, it would seem, are this:
The only thing saving your behind is the fact that no powers that be know of it and, if they do, they have not taken action.
That no one has been sued, however, is clearly not to suggest that it is permissible or even something good to be done once, much less time and again.
I had to Google Steve Argyle, with quotation marks, so...
I think Steve's response is considered and well structured. However, there are parts where it leaves you wanting. The lines between his 'objective' and 'opinion' are blurry, but the main issue is that parts of the 'objective' are questionable. That Steve mentions both fair use and/or parody, though sometimes they are distinguished for appropriate reasons, suggests that one should take his opinion with a grain of salt and it may not be an entirely credible statement.
If Steve Argyle's response, which is not necessarily that of other illustrators, Wizards of the Coast, or what is right, is the position of the staff, would the staff's original opinion or an interpretation of Steve's statement be kindly produced as soon as feasible?
Brandon, you a doctoral student or have completed your doctorate. You yourself must be aware of some IP issues in writing your thesis or publishing your manuscripts. Even if you were to simply use a(n adapted or modified) figure as part of a chapter in your thesis, which may very well never see the light of day besides in the thesis itself, which is stored in libraries, you would ensure that you had the blessing of the figure's creators and did what was due of you to include it in your thesis, right?
Anyway, I thought to ask 'how goes it?' and I have lost my train of thought regarding this point. I think it was alterations are by and large inappropriate and, when they are, you have to jump through hoops. Here, the hoops may not have been jumped through.
If bar means something more like a public house or pub or the establishment in Cheers, why not?
How do you figure that is a good idea, though? Is your area chock-a-block with Magic players and no other sorts of customers for a bar and it is without a games store that does booster drafts?
To increase patronage and business, why not focus on attracting other demographics?
Edit: Why not consider some of these tips?
Are you even allowed to organise this sort of thing?
Honestly, this sounds sketchy and I wouldn't trust you. Distil it down a few times, what really is in it for the customer?
