Music definitely increases load time, but backgrounds are really small files, and unless you're on a phone, you shouldn't have to worry about them.
My problem with adding mood music as an embedded video was that nobody listened to it. Autoplaying solves the problem, and also doesn't work on phones last I checked.

DERPLINGSUPREME I only persuade those who click on my deck to +1 it, as opposed to that whole mess where clicking on anything linked to a +1. All upvotes are done manually by the viewer.
(Half the reason I added the cute girls dropdown was because I spent a lot of time on that page, so it gave me something to look at while replying to comments, or thinking of changes.)

My experience indicates otherwise. Profiles with backgrounds can take insanely long to load. It all depends on the coding used and where it has to be called from.
And I don't care whether you want mood music to be heard or not. Autoplay is not acceptable on this site. We have a fairly liberal stance on users implementing custom code, but nothing you do should interfere with other users' browsing. I had to shut down a couple decks for displaying popups or autoplaying something on page load.

OKAY THEN!
I'm going to keep covering my keyboard in butter and cheese then.
you do you, I'll do me.

Oh. My. Gooooooooooood. I'm still sick, and I feel like shit, so I decided to play games for the ENTIRE day.
(Played a 2 hour game of DotA 2 in the low-priority pool. We had Sand King, Ember Spirit, Witch Doctor, Techies, and Treant Protector; literally all support. They had Jakiro, Bloodseeker, Bane, Morphling, and Invoker; all carries, all at Lvl. 25.)

look, we all have our own interests, okay?

Jex, that button is a little gaudy, but it is your deck page, and the button is not being spammed elsewhere.
I think it might encourage others to abuse the idea though.

Is Entomb really that expensive? you can always just ge taway with a Buried Alive.
April 25, 2015 9:44 p.m.
Buried Alive is literally just 3 Entombs stitched together, at sorcery speed. If I wanted 3 Entombs, I'd play 3 Entombs.
April 25, 2015 9:45 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #16
Buried alive is too much mana and I don't have Dark Fits. Entomb isn't bad, but a set is $80.
Also, Entomb is one of the main enablers so....
April 25, 2015 9:45 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #19
No bruh you don't understand.
Reanimator wants to go t1 Entomb into t2 Reanimate.
You can't do that with Buried Alive without dark rit and then you're down a card.

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #20
tru e nough, but with a Sol Ring and Dark Ritual and Cabal Ritual all into Necropotence anthing is possible.
April 25, 2015 9:53 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #21
why not just Swamp into Dark Rit into Necropotence? Who needs Cabal Ritual and Sol Ring?
April 25, 2015 9:55 p.m.
DERPLINGSUPREME says... #25
also, if you also cast the other 2, then T2 you can cast Buried Alive and Reanimate so HAH!
April 25, 2015 10 p.m.
Well, there's also the fact that Sol Ring is banned in legacy, but let's not let that get in our way.
April 25, 2015 11:20 p.m.
Alright, non-magic then. Anyone else excited for The Witcher 3 in less than a month?

Hai gain
I turn 21 in 8 days. I don't know what to do
April 25, 2015 11:24 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #33
Perhaps a drunk AMA? Is that permitted since it's my 21?
April 25, 2015 11:28 p.m.
DERPLINGSUPREME says... #34
That seems fun!
I'll be able to know where you live, what you look like, your credi-
nevermind, that seems like a great Idea!

Why would it be a problem? It never has been before.

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #36
well, last time I did a AMA, epoch said its really just for admins, soo ...
April 25, 2015 11:31 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #37
Actually i said that. Mostly because people were tired of seeing your threads
It's true though. Normally admins get the best results from amas

FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #38
An admin note within the first 9 pages... this is starting out well.
Also Epoch, are we just not allowed to add code to descriptions anymore? Because that basically means I can't change my description without taking everything off.
April 25, 2015 11:33 p.m.
DERPLINGSUPREME says... #39
@VampireArmy were people actualy tired, or just you and 2 others?
did you take a poll?
April 25, 2015 11:35 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #40
Go to the thread Derp. multiple people expressed it.
April 25, 2015 11:36 p.m.
DERPLINGSUPREME says... #41
oh.
huh.
well, at least it answered my question.

I hope you realize I'm not trying to be mean to you...like ever. I'm just a blunt person and over the internet it translates a lot meaner than I intend.

I could act like SUCH a little bitch right now...
but that wouldnt be much different than normal, ammiright??!?!?

Didgeridooda That button is perfectly acceptable, because it is on the page, and does exactly what is advertised.
If we're not allowed to code descriptions, then all decks will be the same cookie coloured paged, and be REALLY boring to look at.
April 25, 2015 11:58 p.m.
JexInfinite Ah, but as they would be chocolate chip cookie colored, that makes all the difference.
April 26, 2015 12:01 a.m.
6tennis regarding your post about DotA2, if you think the heroes you called supports are all supports and the ones you called carries are all carries, then you should probably reevaluate the way you play the game.
April 26, 2015 12:03 a.m.
Didgeridooda says... #48
Jex, you got pretty defensive there even though I said the same stuff you did, just have an opposing opinion about them.
April 26, 2015 12:08 a.m.
His team was all support bar ember spirit.
Though the opposing team definitely was not all carry. Jakiro is a fantastic support, and so is bane. Blood seeker isn't even a hardcore carry, more like a semi carry. Invoker just plays whatever style invoker wants to play.
DERPLINGSUPREME says... #1
@ThisIsBullshit ah. okay? what seems to be expensive if not the creatures?
