Quote from DementedKirby »Interesting... I will probably just maintain my primers here just because they have some history and have been here for a while. There's lots of discussions and I believe that they'll still be useful if I'm still able to edit and maintain them. That being said, the staff here at MTGSalvation have made the experience and forums an amazing place and their dedication deserves way more merit and credit than can be given. I hope that, once MTGNexus is up and running, an announcement can be made and thus be able to create an account there (and hopefully no one takes my username). It won't be easy juggling between being active in two different sites, but I will probably only be attentive here to my primers. If the exodus towards MTGNexus is a certain thing, then I will join that immigration.
If the people who make up the relevant parts of the community to you are moving, then going over there could be reasonable. If not, then, at least personally, the community is way more important than the staff. In my case, at this point in time, I'm almost exclusively focused on the Mafia side of things, with the occasional foray into EDH. The EDH section is losing a number of serious people to this schism, so I'm probably just forgoing the game altogether for the time being; I haven't played Magic since August of last year anyways, if I recall correctly. Both communities will probably change, but it's a question of convenience of staying here or loyalty to people who are moving, the primary group of which and force behind which is staff. Both sites are at an unstable state. This site needs a staff that is actively focused on it and appreciates the community, Nexus will need people who like the old staff of Salvation enough to want to be there, and doesn't have the funding or people to be as stable as Salvation potentially can be at this time.
That said, as a user, you probably won't even notice most of it. The staff are just people, just the same as users. Their authority is an artificial concept. So make sure that whatever you choose, it's based on your feelings about the community, not just following either the staff to Nexus or just staying here for the site structure itself, as either way, you'll likely end up disappointed if that's the reasoning for your choice.
Yeah, otherwise who would be copped Night 1?
Discard route plus narrow out some of the personal choices and worry less about stuff like Iona. Different mana accel would also be relevant if it was a reasonable ban list for 1-on-1. (cEDH is a flawed format.)
Yeah but house rules rarely happen especially for us players who don't have a continuous playgroup.
Yeah but they weren't actively banned in the previous wording.
Also just found out that the RC officially banned wishboards. Jeez. Oh well.
Cinquain Mafia coming to a site near you. (I kid, but maybe.)
It's pretty behind, but I'll try to get it up here some time this week.
Everything I said about policy lynches was outside of the game thread.
@Highroller:
Ignore me if you will, but for future games, I'd highly suggest not angleshooting like this by using knowledge of something someone has said OoG to try to get that person to replace out. It's a good way to get modkilled out of games.
