Sorry to hear that Cyan. We're kinda tight on money too as we've got 2 ravenous little boys to feed (it's making a difference in the grocery bills) and I'm working on getting my business up and running. Hopefully with RAV I'll start actually turning a profit. About the cards, I'd loan you some from inventory, but then I couldn't sell them since I only sell mint cards. And I have a feeling you want to play with the hot stuff... which I need to keep in inventory so I can sell it. If you can post your decklist maybe I can loan you some stuff out of my own collection, though.
I was flipping through a giant pile of stuff in my own collection and found 4 foil Plow Unders and 4 BB Plow Unders. Doh! I should have found those when they were worth something a few months ago!
I'm too dirty to be a knight, KristLynn, but good luck!
* rancored_elf thinks Seds is crazy to play MODO *[/b]
I actually don't want to play anything really hot. Here's the deck that I'm looking at playing:
Obviously Pithing Needles and Jitte are money cards, but, I wouldn't die if I didn't have the Jittes. The deck is virtually unplayable w/o the Needles though.
If anyone can do anything to help me along, that would be more wonderful than I can put into words right now..and rest assured that I will return every card that anyone loans to me.
In other news, I hate linear algebra, mainly because both my teacher and textbook suck, and therefore I understand none of it. Of course, that's really going to suck because linear algebra is one of the more important courses for a physicist to take, seeing how it all revolves around it (pun not intended, but enjoyed.)

Tawnos, your MSN should be an email address. Your AIM should be a word. Maybe "Tawnos" is your AIM?
Lastly, I notice Kristina is using multiple brackets a lot lately. Sometimes three sets within eachother. What's up with that?
What's wrong with using multiple brackets? I do it all the time. Hell, what you see is a constant continuous holding back. I think so tangentally (that is, skipping around, not touching a curve at one point) that it's incredibly hard for me to not to have way more parenthesis and braces than is safe for the environment.

Sigh, my wife's ex stopped working, and now we stopped getting his child support. As such, I can't afford to buy cards to play at States Maybe I can convince people to donate cards to me. Or loan them to me..over a really long distance..or something. It's just really frustrating to me, as I haven't really played any tournaments in about 8 months, and I miss it very much.
I can empathize, being the kid in that story there (my dad's been unemplyed for two months, and he provides ~$700 a month)... It does suck doesn't it?
I've also not played an event since the SoK prerelease, as travelling from Conyers to Gwinnet (45 minutes in good traffic) isn't appealing to me. I probably won't end up going to another "big" event until Regionals, maybe not even then.

BTW, I just realized that you are Mike's Robynne... You shoulda seen the look on my face.
LMAO. Did you miss the entire vote to let me in? The entire argument about Mike's (tom) name as it would confuse ppl as Mike (crazed) is my bf?
Anyways, a lot must make much more sense to you now...
Yeah, I did miss the vote... You see, I go on and off with the Called... :redface: Back at News, I was an annoying newb, then I was the original almost-friend (but they voted not to have a friend policy), and now I drop in occasionally for little spurts of posting.
I tend to use brackets, perentisys (damn, I can't spell that word), commas, and semicolons a lot. I have to work really hard to make sentences without any clauses in them, and if you pay attention, you'll notice that I don't do a very good job of weeding then out. Mom, and english teachers complain about it, but math, science, and engineering teachers don't seem to mind one bit. Once Mom teased me about being the "Queen of Commas." What can I say, I'm a wordy person.
I've noticed that sometimes you use commas unnecessarily(like the one up there before 'Mom'). But that's alright, alot of people use commas when they don't need to, and alot of people don't use commas when they should..the comma seems to be one of the most difficult parts of English grammar/syntax to master.
Bel:
Yeah, she's like 11...that's freaking nuts...11 years old and wears a size F bra..wtf...apparently she's some pseudo-peacemaker between China and Japan, there was some story about it.
I figured she was 12. Her face is super young looking but her bod is right on!!
I'm going....uh....off somewhere....sick old man alert.....uh..yeah!

I'd say the hardest thing to use properly isn't the comma, but is rather the semicolon. Seriously, I'd be surprised if more than 1/100 English speakers knew how to use it properly.

I know how to use a semicolon. It separates two destinctive clauses. It's difficult to decide if it fits sometimes but I can usually tell.
My knights: Kristina (yay!) - Don't worry, it works.
That girl looks 10-12... you guys are pervs. *not shocked*
Edit: Kristina, I added knights to my sig... was kinda hard as I'm running out of characters. I still need a champion though. I like your idea! *off collecting knights*
I moved a part of this thread to a hidden forum where the participants of the discussion that followed and ended in a few rather not appropriate posts can discuss the matter in a cool environment.
The thread was lost in the "forbidden zone" for a short while and I made a new thread with the above title....when Hannes brought the thread back Will merged the two and kept my thread title!
He took out the arguement that has been going on for a day now and left eveyhting else.
SO....do...uh.....you guys like....stuff??

Garggg! I was reading the thread and suddently I hit "next page" and everything was gone.
For everyone's information, all non-clan business was split off by Hannes and sent to the mod lounge to be dealt with. He seems to want to keep it out of here, and I guess I agree.
The new title is good. I would have suggested:
"We're sorry for our previous thread title. The NIPPLES made us do it!"
Yes Robynne, we need to win this one! Shall we get started?
Cyan: Please post what you still "need" for that deck and appeal for other members to help you finish it up.
This may be my last post for a while. See, I have a test tomorrow, and two on Thursday, plus regular homework. No, I'm not going to do well on them. As such, my online time may be very limited. I'll be back when all the crazyness is over though.

1 Minamo, School at water's Edge
1 Miren, the Moaning Well
1 Oboro, Palace in the Clouds

1 Keiga, the Tide Star
4 Telling time
4 Hinder
3 Last Gasp
4 Mana Leak
2 Disrupting Shoal
1 Overwhelming Intellect
3 Threads of Disloyalty
2 Overwhelming Intellect
4 Hisoka's Defiance
3 Minamo's Meddling
4 River Kaijin
2 Umezawa's Jitte
Obviously Pithing Needles and Jitte are money cards, but, I wouldn't die if I didn't have the Jittes. The deck is virtually unplayable w/o the Needles though.

I cheer for all seattle sports teams and players, but outside of them I root for the redsox (baseball), the raiders (football), the redwings (hockey), Arsenal (soccer), Bode Miller (skiing) and Nigel Short (chess)

Other: My favorite movie of all time is Big Trouble in Little China. My favorite Magic color is blue. I'd have to say my favorite Magic card is probably Dream Halls. I have been playing Magic since the initial launch of Revised.
We still need bios from:
- Daggertooth (this will have to wait)
- Laika (he gave me a bunch of info over AIM but I didn't save it because it seemed like he was joking)
Tawnos, your MSN should be an email address. Your AIM should be a word. Maybe "Tawnos" is your AIM?
Lastly, I notice Kristina is using multiple brackets a lot lately. Sometimes three sets within eachother. What's up with that?

I can empathize, being the kid in that story there (my dad's been unemplyed for two months, and he provides ~$700 a month)... It does suck doesn't it?
I've also not played an event since the SoK prerelease, as travelling from Conyers to Gwinnet (45 minutes in good traffic) isn't appealing to me. I probably won't end up going to another "big" event until Regionals, maybe not even then.
Yeah, I did miss the vote... You see, I go on and off with the Called... :redface: Back at News, I was an annoying newb, then I was the original almost-friend (but they voted not to have a friend policy), and now I drop in occasionally for little spurts of posting.
And yes, lots makes sense...

I've noticed that sometimes you use commas unnecessarily(like the one up there before 'Mom'). But that's alright, alot of people use commas when they don't need to, and alot of people don't use commas when they should..the comma seems to be one of the most difficult parts of English grammar/syntax to master.

That girl looks 10-12... you guys are pervs. *not shocked*
Edit: Kristina, I added knights to my sig... was kinda hard as I'm running out of characters. I still need a champion though. I like your idea! *off collecting knights*

For everyone's information, all non-clan business was split off by Hannes and sent to the mod lounge to be dealt with. He seems to want to keep it out of here, and I guess I agree.
The new title is good. I would have suggested:
"We're sorry for our previous thread title. The NIPPLES made us do it!"
Yes Robynne, we need to win this one! Shall we get started?
Cyan: Please post what you still "need" for that deck and appeal for other members to help you finish it up.

And I offered Cyan a bunch of stuff in the post before it was split. Can't remember what it was but he never responded.
Daron....that is a great title and I think I will ask Will to change it for us.
EDIT: Can someone change the title of the thread the R_E's quote above??? You all agree don't you? Too funny IMO just to funny to let that one go!
