The historical changelog will be available, of course, but future changes won't be documented (even if they are made here).Posted in: Blog Flamingo

I've been saying the exact same thing to my friends who know about CF: "Who the hell goes onto some forum, sees a thread called "Club Flamingo" with a picture of two old guys in flamingo suits and says "MAN! This is where I want to be!""
Deleted my original post.

EDIT: Provided that said Caw-Blade stumbles on mana, never draws Dismember, and can't resolve a Day of Judgment. -

I also really want to cut something (trigon or maybe battlegear?) for a crush. I was never unhappy with it. Everybody has at least one target.
I mean... you could cut seize the initiative for it too. That might be better. But seize is one of my pet cards, so... - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
I don't really anticipate posting here again, unfortunately. RIP to MTGS, my fondest internet home, and certainly the one with the most lasting impact to my life. Maybe if we're all still around in 2030 we can get some scotch and celebrate.
Club Flamingo Statistics Update — November 2020
Thread Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆. It always was and always will be.
Thread Size: Interestingly, we have actually lost posts since the last update: Our total today is 55,484. Two years ago when I left the last update, we had 61,261. I think this has something to do with either the purging of European account data due to GDPR or the various changing hands of ownership. Either way, we still beat the next biggest thread by almost 20k posts, so the crown is retained.
Thread Views: Views, on the other hand, don't seem to have been purged. We are still well in first with 2,540,885 views, up from 2,324,835 views last time!
Posts per Day Lifetime: N/A. Due to the loss of posts, this stat isn't really valid anymore, unfortunately.
Posts per Day since last update: N/A, see above.
Thanks Count: 67. Last time I joked that people might have forgotten about Thanks and reminded them to do it. It actually looks like somebody did go and add a Thank to the OP. One person in two years. Amazing. There is hope, after all.
Top Ten Most Prolific Posters, Lifetime:
Chemtrails – 3496 (-)

Cardz5000 - 1350 (-)
pstmdrn - 1242 (-)
avatarz and Winterspring appear to be casualties of the data purge I mentioned above, unfortunately. That means that Cardz5000 and pstmdrn have officially made the list! void_nothing also made a valiant effort once again with 99 posts! Still just a hair out of the top 5, though.
Previous Update
If you want to know how easily this game could have gone the other way, Tubba correctly watched Killjoy and saw KCC kill him N1!
I came into Today fully expecting a KCC lynch and Cantrip to have to fight it out in F3, but the quickhammer off of a Tom vote was a spectacular finish.
Here is where I give props to the scumteam. After weathering solid pressure through all of D1 and slipping out of it, they made excellent use of their Night to strategize and plan specifically for the quickhammer (you can see the scum chat for how they did this). In a game like this all decisions are really important due to the compressed timeline and I think they made the most of it.
Shoutouts again to Tubba for correctly calling the NK. Unfortunately the game ended literally before he could tell the thread about it. Rhand also had great reads early on, correctly calling the scum team on page, like, 2.

y'all are good on posting btw. everybody posted since yesterday at least once. keep up that pace and we'll all be happy.
this vote count has been edited to match the count as of its actual placement. i posted this before I saw the previous post.
this vote count has been edited AGAIN because 1+1 = 2
Deadline remains 11:59PM Eastern on Friday, 15 Nov.
I feel like some people aren't posting a lot. I'll do a prod check tomorrow. If you haven't posted in more than 48 hours that would be grounds for a prod.
