Third time's a charm.
Remember to please post Magic-related discussions in separate threads as appropriate. This thread is for non-MTG or very casual discussions; we want to foster new and continual game discussion across the rest of the site as well.
Admin Note:
Attention Modern players! There's a new Modern Chat. Please use that thread to discuss Modern-related things.
Attention Standard players! There's a new Standard Chat. Please use that thread to discuss Standard-related things.

okay, what about the pillow fort comment? what do you want us to do? share? agree? explode?

Runlue, people just get caught up in various other conversations. Don't take it personally. That's actually seriously cool that someone is doing that with a deck you designed.

That is my favorite thing to do in the community. I like to help others. I also like to listen to advice from others as well. I have very large gaps where I did not play, and have gotten many very good suggestions of cards that I did not know existed.
Helping people to get into EDH is my favorite. I do know a little about other formats, but try not to over-step my knowledge.

This chat just isn't the same anymore. I'm getting kind of bored of it.

Tibs I believe it Omni-Tell did well recently and now everyone is losing their minds!

ThisIsBullshit says... #12
Well it's not surprising they're losing their minds, it shot up over $20 in two days
Or do you mean they're losing their minds over the fact that Omnitell actually did well in a tourney?

Omni-Show has been doing very well since Dig Through Time got printed. It's just now the best Dig deck. Period. Of course the price will skyrocket.

I mean, JC4 is go. Eventually. I was just saying I'm personally losing some interest. This is a community thing; it doesn't exist for my satisfaction.

One thing that has diluted this chat is all the other chats you have made though. It is not just the change in demographic.
June 2, 2015 1:42 p.m.
As someone that joined amid JC3, what was it that made the first one so different? Maybe we can try to recapture it.

The thread has become more popular. It moves faster, and has more then one conversation at a time.
Before there was some more serious topics discussed, but those are directed to serious chat, or some others. Fitness, music, food. When ever a topic pops up, and gets some steam it is directed elsewhere.
It is still a good thread, just has a bit too much complaining, and a much more negative attitude then it used to.
To fix it, I would say we should follow the topics a little further, and ignore the fluff. Get some good conversation in.

I joined right around JC2's creation, and I had a ton of fun just talking about life and shit. It just seems...somehow slower nowadays. That said, I still like it here.
June 2, 2015 2 p.m.
Yeah this does have kind of a Barrens Chat feel to it. Why don't we create a topical discussion specific forum and boot anyone that derails? JC4: The Entopicening
June 2, 2015 2:16 p.m.
It'd be JC3.5, since we haven't finished up JC3 quite yet.

How about Not Just Chatting 1. More Than Just Chatting 1. Just Discussing 1.

So Pascal has put his foil tarmogoyf on ebay, and will be sharing 50% of the profits with a gaming charity. It hasn't even been up for a day yet and it's at $3,000.
Here's the link if anyone wants to follow it.

What is a gaming charity? Does it deal with addiction, or helping the disadvantaged compete?
June 2, 2015 2:36 p.m.
I think it's an organization that helps pay for college tuition for professional gamers who want higher education.
Sorta like a sports scholarship, but for gamers. Magic, league of legends, starcraft, etc. It's become a huge thing recently, even the Ivy league schools are getting into it.

But does it come with a certificate of authenticity. Otherwise, how will we know it's that particular Goyf?

I heard there's a new notification icon! Someone comment so I can see it!

@Didg: I'm willing to concede that point. But it's also nice to have a thread dedicated to those topics of interest so I don't have to read through umpteen shitposts to find out whether you even lift.
And many of the serious topics are still up for discussion. The only ones I really want moved elsewhere are Magic-related ones, which, by definition, should be in the Magic forums so as to stimulate discussion amongst the entire community. There's nothing stopping someone from bringing up actual off-topic topics in this thread and discussing them here.
What I'm more concerned with is the fact that the quality of the discussions that do take place is marred by the lack of quality amongst its constituent posts.

We should institute a series of placement exams to determine which off-topic forum you're allowed to post in: Remedial JC, JC 101, JC 201, and subsequent upper division JCs.

So, I was saying something, but then the website crapped out on me, and now I'm too lazy to retype it.
Also, these notifications are BLASPHEMY. Fortunately, Blizzicane's CSS magic still works.

Also, for anyone who cares about that trading article, we're still working on it.

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #34
so....
we need a topic everyone can talk about....
oh well, anything interesting happen lately? anything horrible or contrivercial? those are the best!
anyhow, if all else fails, would any of you guys care to start playing Heroes of the storm and have a little party for having a game every now and then?

I am interested in the trading article. That is one I will read for sure. I enjoy trading, but really just go for things I need. If the article is about trading to get ahead, I am not really interested in those topics. The "pack to power" stuff got old after the first one.

Things are changing around the site. Is it for the better? Or are we witnessing the first stages of the coming of Cthulhu?
June 2, 2015 7:45 p.m.
We don't need another cult, dammit. Look at what happened with Zoo's COC (which was glorious, but got out of hand rather quickly.)
June 2, 2015 7:54 p.m.
DERPLINGSUPREME says... #41
no clue. 6tennis I made a cult too. it was of epoch.
June 2, 2015 8 p.m.
Oh yeah. There was that too. Needless to say, we don't need Cthulhu or whatever around here.

azathoth. or Nyarlathotep.
Nyarlathotep: "The crawling chaos"
Azathoth: the god of chaos, just looking at him will cause insanity.
