These threads have been observed to have a half-life of about 1 page, maybe 2 if it's lucky or even a few more in rare circumstances.

Why does anyone even comment on this guy's posts anymore. It clearly never gets anyone anywhere

IndependentMeta All the clans "had" manifest in that they knew of it and used it to fight dragons, but the Sultai apparently decided to incorporate more of the manifest magic into their repertoire that the other clans.

0_0 wat about the rumors of abzan having the arc of the convent?

GoldGhost012 says... #18
Silmgur didn't eat Sidisi nor Tasigur. Tasigur probably wasted away due to starvation or neglect or just plain cruelty. His body still hangs from Silmgur's neck. Sidisi was plotting against Silmgur, so he had her executed, but he realized her worth to him even in death. So he revived her as a zombie to continue serving him.

And the Abzan having something from Halo is pure bullshit.
April 2, 2015 5:10 p.m.
For the record, the arc of the covenant is originally a religious idea. Halo just kind of stole the name.

IndepenentMeta says... #28
0_0 just thought bout this
So they went back in time where sidisi was dead?
I thought this was before the kahns block happened

HolyFalcon says... #29
It was. This is Sidisi after Sarkhan altered the timeline. In KTK timeline, Sidisi is never executed for treason.

CommanderOfBolas says... #30
Sidisi is from the ktk timeline. Sarkhan changed things in the past. Instead of becoming a khan, she Became the undead vizier

Ancient aliens the Abzan special
"in many card arts you see the abzan carrying what looks to be heavy artillery. I remember seeing one art where a 50 ft elephant was carrying a 50 foot box! So what could be in that box that the abzan felt like they had to take to war? It just leaves for questions and leaves remarks for speculation. What was the abzan hiding?"
0_0 aliens!

You really can't complain that people think you're a troll at this point.

Is having fun also against the rules or something

I think when someone creates a thread with at least a partially serious premise (in this case, a lore question) they expect a no fun policy.

Yeah these nerds are passionate bout their card games

You did sound a little like a troll when you derailed your own thread and tried to bring it back on topic.

Took you long enough to admit being a troll.
I feel significantly less ashamed for mocking you but hey, if that's how you feel i'm sure one of the mods will be happy to deal with you soon enough

IndepenentMeta says... #39
Lol naw man I was just messing around see when I play around its usually funny when these guys "troll" it usually ends up with one side being pissed at the other and vise versa. Which is prolly something the mods should look into before bothering me

You exactly described yourself. You've been flooding our forums. This is frustrating and you know it
April 3, 2015 12:49 a.m.
I honestly can't believe this is still going on at this point.
I have watched idly as day in and day out this person has repeatedly made vague thread after thread that seem to only be made for the sole purpose of starting up yet another conversation that derails into whether or not he's a troll. Look, I'm an understanding person. And I don't think it's all that logical to argue with people over the internet...but come on now. I swear it's like everyone is tip-toeing around the guy just on the off-chance he might be sincere and they don't want to feel bad.
But here's the truth: When someone acts a certain way time and again, you learn. You learn that that is how they act. And when the way they act is not in alignment with how you want for people to act around you, you stop interacting with them. Don't get me wrong -- I think it's completely obvious where the guy's intentions lay. But I wish we could collectively make it a point to discontinue the constant bickering.
Sometimes the best way to deal with someone immature is to ignore them. Please can we just give that a try?

I mean the guy literally just admitted to it. What else do we need?

jandrobard says... #43
Pissing people off is what trolls do. I think you didn't understand that the admins consider your behavior trolling.
T/O actually has a whole thread for things like joking about abzan and halo, it's called "Just MORE Chatting".

Spootyone Maybe IndependentMeta is a troll, maybe he isn't. But I believe in giving people a chance to redeem themselves. I don't think this is a second chance. Or even a third chance. But maybe, behind that mountain-dew splattered keyboard, there's a kind, well intentioned, human?
April 3, 2015 1:03 a.m.
I also believe in granting second or third or even more chances. To a fault, even. This has already been done as far as I am concerned. Call me crazy, but I don't think that kind, well-intentioned people go around spattering things like "Yeah these nerds are passionate bout their card games" on a site devoted to Magic: the Gathering. It's easy to say something like that and then immediately backpedal and force the blame onto others. If we had the desire to, we could easily do the same. But I digress.
Call me cold. Call me unforgiving. Call it what you like, but I'm done giving second chances to someone who clearly is taking a mile when given an inch. We could sit here and try to unravel why this person does these things. We could imagine scenarios where someone is crying out for attention because they were neglected it or any other number of things. But that doesn't make these sorts of things excusable. Not, at least, this many times.
I, for one, would appreciate if every second thread I chose to look at weren't clogged with overdone arguments.

I'm actually rather impressed with your tenacity and insistence of adding O_O to every one of your posts.
