I feel you. I've been pushing off studying for my AP US history test for like a month.

Scorprix: I want to do pharmacy at UNC at Chapel Hill, and I need to get a 5 to get credit for chemistry. And even if by some odd miracle I pass with flying colors, skipping the first chemistry class and taking the second one would just screw me over. Also we still have 3 chapters left to cover before the national exam, which is tomorrow.
HerderOfNerf: I remember last year when I read 900 pages of US history in two days. When I finished, I couldn't remember a single thing I read. Needless to say, I got a 3. It was worth it.

I'm hoping it'll be like last year's gov test where i panicked for a month for a test that was astoundingly easy, but something tells me it won't be like that this year and I should get off my ass and start studying.

HerderOfNerf hey guy, I catch you right now, do you have time to play a league game today? I can't right now, because I have something to do first, but in 1-2 hours I'll be free :>

The AP US History test was easy as hell back when I took it. I also had a really good teacher, though. From what I remember, they don't focus terribly heavily on post-1970s, but that may have changed in recent years.
May 3, 2015 10:17 a.m.
elpokitolama I may have time, but theres no way I'm gonna have time to play everyone, so unfortunately it'd be inherently unfair for me to just play you and no one else. Super sorry :(
May 3, 2015 10:17 a.m.
Its always going to be the case that some people are more proactive than others and will play more games. Im weighting the points so that THIS DOES NOT AFFECT RESULTS. So you should start playing.

If T/O Janky league project gets created, I'd love hosting it! :D
I've got plenty of janky decks to play it :>

Epochalyptik, I don't remember it having too much post seventies stuff. Unfortunately I had a bad teacher that made vibrator jokes and went from talking about the BUS for five minutes to talking about navigating with the North Star for 40 minutes. US History for me was essentially finding everything online and listening to bad jokes.
HerderOfNerf, I heard the new US history exam is more analytical this year. Instead of just memorizing facts 24/7, you actually have to know stuff now. That's no fun.

Hullo.
So it's like 10:30 and apparently my parents aren't up yet.

ThisIsBullshit on a scale from easy to tears, how bad was it?
May 3, 2015 11:43 a.m.
TiB, remember I'm in the same state as you, so O also didn't wake up till 10:30, so judge me as well.
May 3, 2015 11:43 a.m.
Thanks Runlue and LiveForChaos! And I'm still not out of bed and it's almost noon.

It's always funny for me to see ya' sayin' "Good morning", since it's already 6 pm for me :p
May 3, 2015 12:16 p.m.
I just realized that my phone has voice recognition so I can write while talking. Sick.
May 3, 2015 12:22 p.m.
T/O Janky League? Sounds fun. I'm in, if we do dis.
Sry I'm typing with sooo many abbreviations, I'm just damn tired.
May 3, 2015 12:27 p.m.
Yea. Nothing above 5% on mtg top 8. How does that sound?
May 3, 2015 12:31 p.m.
Yea, I never brew anything above 5% on MtGTop8. That's what this site is for.
May 3, 2015 12:33 p.m.
Well anything above 5% could also include lesser played, but still powerful archetypes. If we were to do a janky league I would play r/w tokens over b/w tokens myself. I also want there to be a competitive league as well.
May 3, 2015 12:35 p.m.
Would the Jank League be unformat? If not, what format would it be? Also, could we run proxy cards (such as Black Lotus)?

elpokitolama says... #33
Men, Esper Mentor ain't no jokes at all and yet it's less than 3%... x')
Same goes for Scapeshift :p

Various people have requested a jank modern league, but this IS a jank modern league. If it were real I wouldn't be playing Naya Midrange.

NoPantsParade I haven't taken it yet, but on a scale of 1 to tears, the studying is literally migraine inducing.
May 3, 2015 12:41 p.m.
Almost all decks are under 5% of the meta except RDW and Twin (I think).
I would not be aversive to doing another set of brackets to start another league on the 31st.
May 3, 2015 12:42 p.m.
elpokitolama says... #39
Then we have to create a "Jank Comitee", which is going to evaluate the jankiness of each submitted deck! :D
A deck like Fam's would enter without any problems, when a Dragonstorm deck would need more discussion, due to its competitive roots.
May 3, 2015 12:46 p.m.
So this league finishes in exactly 7 days time (Sunday 10th).
I would then open signups for another league which would start on the Sunday 31st (exactly 3 weeks since the closure of the last league).
I'll start a Facebook poll asking people what they want for the next league. I'd prefer it if I could keep organising them because I'm kind of on a roll and I have all the formatting sorted and ready. I'd essentially just copy and paste everything over.
May 3, 2015 12:47 p.m.
Dude, junk is 12%.
But let's make it less than 2%. No one wants to play from.
May 3, 2015 12:48 p.m.
Facebook group is here to all those who haven't joined. I post polls and stuff. People also ask for playtests.
May 3, 2015 12:48 p.m.
Scorprix - Nope. That's if you factor in both little kid and the control version. MTGgoldfish has the control version at 4%.

so, radish have eaten 39, from the jesus cst bag and such.
I decided to try typing with autocorrect.
not doing that again.
May 3, 2015 1:10 p.m.
I think hosting two at once might be best. People could even play in both if they so desired, they would just have to play different decks. And this like Chief said, this is the jank league. I wouldn't be playing a Polymorph token deck otherwise.
May 3, 2015 1:14 p.m.
elpokitolama says... #49
Grumpfh. A lot of people took some decks to be competitive, too. I didn't take of my janky ones, for exemple...
Scorprix says... #1
Why not?
