How many more Unicorns must die???

MWS
« on: May 24, 2009, 06:09:13 pm »

Here's my gripe with Magic Workstation.

I started my vintage career as most of us do, a noob.

As i'm sure anyone who played my at ELD's mox 23 will tell you, I wasn't really good.  I then joined MWS and QUICKLY became better.  As "player" I rarely lost, but found myself being rejected due to my name.  So I changed to WJ Chippington.  I still play a lot, and in the past 2 weeks have only dropped 3 matches out of 17.  However, I can't STAND the people who talk Brag and talk $h!t only to lose, or quit in a game.  One guy Rassman, had a lucky turn 1 key vault, and then demmanded I use a new deck because mine was lame because it was key vault  (and his wasn't?....plus, if he was smart, he'd of realized I was playing bomberman and not classic tez).  I told him no, and played out my hand (which was very good).  His turn rolls around and he starts making sexual and vulgar comments.  I tell him to put his money where his mouth is and play me.  He agrees, but starts the game over, undoing my great hand.  But I want to beat this guy so, bad, I continue.  I draw a mediocre and consisting of mindcensor, 2 forces, and land.  I keep it, thinking at least there is suficeint mana.  After a few turns of drawing dead, I cast censor, which is promply forced, which I drain, which he forces.  But he removed 2 forces to use his 2, so they were all gone!!!!  I quickly went on the offensive, casting a Dark confidant, and laying down the beating.  With 2 turns left, and pressed against the ropes, he attempts to cast a timevault to use with the key I let land earlier.  I tapped my land to drain it and before I even got the drain out, he quit.  What an arrogent fool.

Another time I was playing someone, against whom I turn 1 dreadnought/stifled. (With a force to back it up) they both land without incident and I end my turn.  The opponent then demands me to sac naught because I didn't sac creatures to it.  Without any swearing or rudeness, I explained that I used stifle to counter the effect.  He swiftly called me a "lamer" and quit


Is there any way to filter out the garbage who run around and annoy people on MWS, or am I screwed to put up with this?



Anyone else have a simaler story?

We all have similar stories.  I still think the best MWS story I ever had was when I used all my resources to stop an opponent's Will.  He then proceeds to play another one. 

I would get in touch with people who aren't fools and try testing directly with them.

PM me for a game for example.

Yeah, I just played a guy who ran 4 black lotuses.  But I didn't realize until game 2 when he cast 2 in the same turn.

I let it slide though, because I took game 1 and was about to play vault key next turn

Yeah, I've played against Kafel a few times before, he's an arrogant douche who doesn't know what he's doing. He's actually on the "Players to Avoid" list.
