North Carolina isn't that bad compared to the shittastic state of Ohio, Ohthenoises. The weather here sucks nuts in the summer with the humidity and stuff, though, but it beats Ohio's 24/7 gray skies and shitty winters.

I live in Florida, and I haven't gone to a single beach this year. Man, I'm lame. I've never been to Canada - I should probably go at some point.

Was it theninjajesus? If so it's him not you, he did the exact same thing to me and aaron.jacob.

Nah, it was the guy who made the mono-red primer. Slaking something. I mean, it doesn't really matter I guess. I'm just surprised.
August 21, 2015 6:16 p.m.
Melon, I just looked at the deck. That was brutal. You asked a question and he responded with hate.

FAMOUSWATERMELON I just read the whole thing as well, the whole situation is almost comical where you, GA and Troll and has said the same thing and all the response to two of you have been exactly the same. completely ignorant that a deck can be bad sometimes against some decks. Welcome to TCG's, that's just how it always is.

trollslayer says... #15
yea, then i said sorry, cuz epoch and i art in good standings currently and at glisteners request on epochs page, i mainly don't want a few day ban. but really, he is ignorant in that part.

FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #16
MTGbrewer Yeah, I got a bit carried away though... Should probably just have backed off and left.
GlistenerAgent Welcome to the club.
trollslayer I seriously doubt that you'll get a ban for this. Or any of us, for that matter. It took ages to get IM banned, and it took him making a second account to make that more or less permanent. I don't think Epoch will even bother making an appearance. But we'll see, I suppose.
August 21, 2015 7:11 p.m.
trollslayer says... #17
meh, i don't like to push the limit, and who IS IM? and i heard he got banned for like a pro nazi deck, but besides that, what else?
August 21, 2015 7:12 p.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #18
IM = IndependentMeta
Pro-Nazi...? Must have missed that. He just shitposted a ton and at one point claimed that he was the guy who came up with cards like Yawgmoth's Will and things like that... At which point everyone was basically pissed at him. Or at least Yeago and Epoch were. And that's usually enough for a ban.

I'll just go back to figuring out what decks I'm going to play in the league, then. Nothing to see here.

Epochalyptik says... #24
To be fair, it does take a lot to get banned here. But the decision scales with whether we think you're being intentionally disruptive; you get a bit more lenience if you're just helplessly retarded.

GlistenerAgent says... #27
Infect seems like an awful choice for Modern given that I've seen a few Terminate decks registered. I have no idea what I'm doing for Legacy.
August 21, 2015 7:27 p.m.
trollslayer says... #28
hold on. wondering if that was an insult or not. if it was then epoch, then yea, i feel bad for you. if not then ok. i apologize for offending you.

Epochalyptik says... #29
I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I weren't reasonably intelligent. And then I picture myself playing video games, drinking energy drinks, eating frozen pizzas, playing Magic, and going to conventions. And I realize that I'm actually thinking about going to law school and becoming a legal analyst at the UN working on human rights cases. And I wonder which would really bring me more happiness.
And I regret that I have but one life to live.

GlistenerAgent, For legacy, I'm just doing a homebrew, so whatever you choose, it will probably beat mine.
August 21, 2015 7:29 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #32
Also no, it wasn't an insult. It was more of a reflection on previous "incidents" in the community.
I don't hate you, trollslayer.
August 21, 2015 7:30 p.m.
trollslayer says... #33
huh, this is a new development. ok then epoch, nice to know that I'm not hated by the resident mod. sometimes it feels like it, but thanks epoch.

Epochalyptik says... #34
I just have a very low tolerance for stupid things. But I don't hold it against anyone. I differentiate between hating the action and hating the person.
August 21, 2015 7:35 p.m.
trollslayer says... #35
well FAMOUSWATERMELON,GlistenerAgent, I'm now in the club. apparently he can't handle people calling everyone redundant and saying lets all stop being redundant.

Welp apparently my life is exactly like what epochs would be like if he were more stupid.
Ouch

Here I am, in the mind-numbingly awful state of California visiting colleges and thinking, "Why the hell do I hate all of these places?" It's a strange existence.
August 21, 2015 7:41 p.m.
trollslayer says... #38
that is where we are the same and different epoch. i also have low tolerance for stupid things that are disruptive to me or other people. but i believe that people can take responsibility for there actions, therefor i blame the person for doing the stupid actions.
August 21, 2015 7:41 p.m.
trollslayer says... #39
and epoch? please pass me a gun. or ask the slacker123 person to unblock me. so i can unsub from his deck. it will drive me crazy not being able to read the comments.
August 21, 2015 7:44 p.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #40
Just read them in the comment stream. Or logout.

just STAHHHPP!!! it will make us all feel better. Lets cool down with something calming. I got it! Think about playing against a competitive Azami EDH deck!
Oh...wait...

Man, I'm still pissed that my computer died when the whole IM shitstorm really took off.
History lesson? Plz? For a history buff?

The Anglo-Zanzibar War commenced after the death of the pro-British sultan of Zanzibar, Hamad bin Thuwaini, on August 25, 1896. Following his death, the sultan's nephew, Khalid bin Bargash seized power in a coup d'etat and quickly assembled an army of 2,800 men to defend his new position. This move displeased the British who sought to place Hamud bin Muhammed on throne. On August 26, Bargash and his men fortified the palace while the sultan's armed yacht was anchored in the harbor nearby. To counter his moves, the British quickly assembled five cruisers in the harbor near Bargash's position.
After making contact with the regular Zanzibar Army, commanded by General Lloyd Matthews, a former Royal Navy Lieutenant, the British landed several parties of Royal Marines. At 8:00 AM on August 27, an ultimatum was issued to Bargash ordering him to vacate the palace within one hour or hostilities would commence. Having received no response, the British ships opened fire on the palace at 9:02.
Quickly sinking Glasgow, they pounded the palace forcing Bargash to retreat. Fleeing from the palace, he sought asylum in the German consulate. After approximately 45 minutes the shelling stopped.

See, where I am we get all those French Canadian tourists down to our beeches and stores. Sometimes they are nice to deal with. Most of the time they think they are the cream of the crop and don't give a shit about other people.
Especially when on beaches.
