Well, can you at least vote for us? There are only three people who haven't voted yet, and two people waiting for entry into the clan. The less we have to make these people wait, the better.

heh... was at a funeral :(, and I work on weekends. Some distant relative I'd never met before in my life died... It's kinda pathetic, but I'm greaving more about the seahawks blowing it again in the postseason than about the deceased at the funeral :/. I'm a horrible person :o.
heh, Rian was the only of those applicants I even know, and he's already in. I guess I'll formally abstain then, since I don't feel comfortable voting for/against any of the remaining canidates.
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.
Well, this throws a kink in things. If someone abstains, only five votes are needed to get in, meaning those who were mathmatically not voted in could still get in.
If you didn't vote on someone who wasn't voted in, you need to do so.

No, I am no making this up. There are apparently remixes in every club in the country, and you can't turn on the radio without it hearing it. It's their "My Heart Will Go On."
The kicker, this song was written and is sung by a four year old. As such, it's not surprising that it's better than what the pop artists come out with here.

Just because I love you, I was able to dig up a translation.
Schnappi the Little Crocodile
I am Schnappi, the little crocodile
I come from Egypt, at the river nile
First, i was lying in an egg
then i chewed my way out
I am Schnappi, the little crocodile
I have sharp teeth, and lots of them
I chew on everything i can get a hold on
I chew on everything because i'm so good at it
I am Schnappi, the little crocodile
I like to chew on things, that's my favourite game
I sneak up to my mom
And show her how good i can chew
I am Schnappi, the little crocodile
I will never get enough of chewing
I chew on daddy's leg
Then I go to sleep

And there is The Official Site. It scares me and excites me at the same time. It has forums, a flash game, and more. It's German, so navigation is hard, but it's worth looking at.

Im trying to find a download site for some remixs now.
This has got to be one of the most irritatingly addictive songs ever!
A nursery song by a four-year-old girl has soared into the pop music charts in Germany, zooming ahead of Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue to land at third place, according to music industry sources.
Little Joy Gruttmann from Cologne is the youngest recording artist in German history to make it to the Top 10 - with good prospects for making it all the way to the top of the pops during the holiday season.
Her tinny-voiced rendition of "Schnappi - Das Kleine Krokodil" (Snappy - The Cute Crocodile) has put Joy ahead of Minogue's "I Believe In You" on its way to the top.
Joy now has her own official website, where Schnappi baseball caps and T-shirts can be bought along with the official Schnappi CD, the Schnappi video, Schnappi DVD and the Schnappi video game can be bought online.
Schnappi is being played on radio stations nationwide and the video is featured on MTV Germany. A throbbing dance remix version of Schnappi is being heard at the hottest clubs.
AdvertisementAdvertisement
Nobody is as surprised as Joy herself, whose aunt Iris recorded her singing the song three years ago and posted it on the internet as a kind of a family joke.
Aunt Iris has a catchy way with lyrics for children's songs, having composed a number of ditties for children's programming on public television in Germany. But she insists Schnappi is all Joy's doing.
"She came up with the lyrics and the tune and the first time I heard her singing it I thought it was simply adorable," she says.
"Schnappi is a charmingly delightful children's song," she adds.
"It comes straight from the heart of a sweet little girl and I really think that's what the appeal is. It touches people's hearts and reminds them of happy childhood times."
Joy is meanwhile a seven-year-old, but she can still launch into a tinny pre-schooler's version of her song for the benefit of radio and TV microphones:
"Schni schna schnappi schnappi schnappi schnapp," she sings, belting out the story of a baby croc's teething attempts on his father's leathery leg and how proud mother crocodile is of him.
Now that elementary school is out for the Christmas holidays, Joy has time to appear on daytime TV talk shows.
"Singing comes naturally to me," she told RTL Television. "I didn't use any special technique and I have no special training. I suppose I was just born with this talent," explained the dark-haired young girl with the beaming smile and twinkly brown eyes.
A TV viewer might well mistake Joy for Kylie sitting there in the seat across from the talk-show host, talking about how her singing style has changed as she has matured over the years.
"I recorded the song when I was much younger, and I've learned a lot since then. After all, I was only four and a half years old then," Joy pointed out.
"I'm into different things now. I want to be an architect or maybe a fashion designer," she said. "But if the song does really well in the charts, well, maybe I'll just stick with being a rich and famous rock star."
Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil
Hab scharfe Zähne, und davon ganz schön viel
Ich schnapp mir was ich schnappen kann
Ja ich schnapp zu, weil ich das so gut kann
Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil
Ich schnappe gern, das ist mein Lieblingsspiel
Ich schleich mich an die Mama ran
Und zeig ihr wie ich schnappen kann
Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil
Und vom Schnappen, da krieg ich nicht zu viel
Ich beiß dem Papi kurz ins Bein
Und dann, dann schlaf ich einfach ein

Hmm. That's not half as "stick in your head" as the original, but it is a whole lot easier to dance to. And you know Americans are going to latch onto this. Next time your at a college dance party, this'll be playing, just you wait and see.

Schni Schna Schnappi...hmm mhm ahmm... Schni Schna Schnappi... Wha..? Oh, hey guys. It's laaaaate. @_@ Everyone is sick at work, pretty much. I don't like it! I better not get sick, because there is Nothing More Stupid than a summer cold. Or flu. Or whatever it is that they have.
Cyan, you should have an av! Are you just indifferent? Feel free to use the Nightmare that Alex rejected. It is sad.

I hate Windows. The damn thing downloaded an update without my explicit instructions. That's ok, because that's what I told it to do. But then it has the audacity to restart without my explicit permission. That is NOT ok to do. I was in the middle of multiple downloads, as well as having files open that I can only pray were saved.
Sean, thank you for reading and following the part about updating the tallies. [/sarcasm]
5 votes are needed for entry. With nine possible voters, Tawnos, Alpha, spar, and Vimesy are all eliminated. jonny's admittance hinges on Kristina's vote, unless someone changes a vote before then. Rian and Alex are both in.

See all the trouble you caused Travis?
Actually, you caused that trouble, because you keep jumping the gun and modifying the rules as we go. How about next time, we don't get a running commentary on the voting proceedings, and we don't say anyone's in that isn't. Actually this is cause for a revote because it's no longer close to fair. Some people have been told to give up, and they've stopped posting here, but they're actually still in it.
On a more happy note, I got drunk last night at a concert. And it snowed here like crazy (first big snow of the season).
Actually, those who were out are still out. True, they needed one fewer vote to get in, but there was also one less person to vote for them, making it still impossible for their entry.

Lies! -I'm Buffy Summers, town tracker. I used my ability on you and saw that you didn't use any abilities before the game started. My flavor is I was sucked through a mysterious space-time portal and I'm here to kill all the vampires, and my tracking ability is a combination of my Slayer and Native American skills.
So, I figured it wouldn't be a Vegeta returning without me applying here...
And yes, I am that crazt man, Vegeta, the Powerful. Just, different now...
Muahahahahaha!
So, I submit to you myself for acception. If there are any spots. Etc etc. I know how it works...
Thank you
[Edit] Application! I forgot...sorry
Well, I'm currently a Senior in highschool. I turn 18 this summer. I plan on attending DU (University of Denver) for Law. I used to be in this clan before I quit Magic. Now I find myself with loads of free time and net time, together, meaning...you got it...MTG FORUMS LOVE AGAIN! I play Halo2 vigorfully on XLive, and if any of you want to hit me up and play, etc etc, let me know. I feel like R_E is the person I still know the best here. Seds has always been excellent...and I love everyone else I remember. Sak is always cool too :).
Oh no, you voted me in, now you're stuck with me! Wha.. what do you mean the poll don't close till midnight? Uh, forget everything I said about dropping Sunny from a window + world domination, ok?
What? I'm in the clan now?
Really? YAY!
*Phase one of evil plan compete*
*Phase two, Take over the internet*
Anyways, thanks for the votes everyone!
Hopefully I won't disapoint.
Tom, I think you're going to have to change your font color, now that they've switched to this ugly, boring black skin as the default..I can't even come close to seeing your dark blue lettering.

Interesting, it just magically changed to some gray style.
