[article]the suck dilemma

[jpmeyer]

CrazyCarl: it looks like time to write an issues article
CrazyCarl: i need to pwn some bitches up in this house
JPmeyer: what does that mean?  does that mean "give me an issue?" or does that mean "write an article for me?"

[Lost In Admiration]

By "stuff," Carl means he wonders why is he is so deaf at 22 to the sound of the driving snow that drives him home to you

Is that a Mineral reference?

Fun stuff guys.  I'm not sure how untrue this all is.  The "playing a netdeck poorly" thing happens all the time around here.

Sooooooooo much truth in one place.

I will immediately start playing Magic well, refuse to buy that Time Walk I need to complete my P9 for more than $60 and like Standard (formerly known as Type II in 1998) players (playas I believe they call themselves) even if they haven't showered and are obnoxious.

Thanks guys.

Of course you missed the blindingly obvious - the format that doesn't force you to change your deck for years and is full of bad players is actually a haven for bad players with decks that haven't changed for years (I actually regard myself as a bad player with decks that have been known to change albeit a plate-techtonic speed). Treasure the Time Elemental/Install Energy/Stasis/BoP players, treasure the sworn defenders of the double White casting cost decks, treasure the lovers of GG, GG, Berserk. These people kept your Bazaars in sleeves for years before you decided to use them.

Profound words. We owe a great debt, indeed.

We dont owe them anything. They got the two morhplings, candleabra of tawnos and foil decree of justice that they were so desperately seeking for the playset of Mint Bazaars and were perfectly happy. That is, until eBay kicked them in the junk. heh heh.

The content was great, but this was probably the hardest thing I have had to read in months. Well, maybe the ingredients off a cereal box or some threads about 3cb, but otherwise this was the most difficult. Good Times.

OMG BOOBIES!!!one!eleven!! Oops I mean: you guys take a little girl-on-girl action and form a freaking religion around it.

In Socialist Holland, freaking religions form girl-on-girl action around YOU!

Loved the article, Carl and JP, but take this as a word of caution: never again ridicule or belittle my god-given right thousands of heroic allied soldiers died to protect, to get all excited over somebody else's gf getting it on with a chick. It is an unwise course of action. Walk away from this. Just walk away.

Agreed. You would be well served if you stopped trying to be 'edgy' and just wrote like actual writers, not stenographers.

Also, you can stop trying to impress people with how many obscure in-jokes you can cram in on a page. That might play well with the fifteen-year-olds, but to me it's just obnoxious. Your advice was good, but it applies to type one writing as well as type one: stop trying to play/write cute, and get down to brass tacks.

Imma lock this one since there's two threads for this going on.
