You know, the more you guys leave me off your lists, the more committed I am to joining Glackin for a victory drive home with my new painting.

I didn't leave you out... I did say some asshole playing dredge, or some RANDO COMMANDO.

I'm not really a trash-talker, nor a braggart.  I let my results do my talking for me. Some day maybe you'll be able to say the same.

Well, I like to do some trash-talk, but if you really want to compare results, I still think I have you by a mile.

Soly, if you're going to be that hilarious, let me know in advance.  I really shouldn't be laughing this loudly in an office setting.

I seem to recall taking 3rd out of 90ish players in Enfield, 3rd and 7th at Power9 tournaments, 5th at Gencon 2008, top8ing Steel City, and top8ing a 72 person side event @ Gencon last year...

Not counting all the small schmuck tournaments I've won...

If you want to compare e-peens and be humiliated, let's do it in a PM, or start a thread in an area more friendly to such things.  Troy is trying to have meaningful conversation on his article.

His thread is about Gencon, our trashtalk is about gencon.  It's all relitive.

And Matt, this isn't a pissing contest.  I'm just trashing you cuz gencon's next week and you made yourself a target (that, and I keep getting scolded for trashing an opinionated aqua-faring avian).

This thread is immensely entertaining. I think we need to see a Soly vs Elias grudge match at Gencon now.

OOOOHHHHHH, ARE YOU GONNA TAKE THAT?!  FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Seriously, push against my traditional history in sustaining temperament here.  Really-- earnestly add detrimentally negative opprobrium whenever.


If you paid attention from the beginning, you might find some helpful advice.

Soly, I started playing Vintage in Jan 2009 after a slight break (AKA 12 years).  Since that time I've amassed 13 Vintage top 8s starting in April 2009, including winning a Blue Bell, splitting the finals of an NYSE and 3 more Blue Bells, and making the top 4 of the Philly Open in Feb which is this year's largest Vintage event in the US.  Per Morphling, that's more than you over the same time period. This year my match win % is around 80% and I've made top 8 in over 3/4 of the tournaments I've played despite playing more archetypes than almost any other serious Vintage player.

In addition to this, in the same time period, I have 2 top 8s in local Legacy events plus 1 finals split, oh and I think I won an SCG Open.

If you're going to back 2008, let's throw in 2 block PTQ top 8s, 2nd place in Block Champs 2008, and 3rd place in Legacy Champs in 2008.

I guess if you want to look at broader results, we can throw in deck design if you'd like, but this is probably already getting humiliating.

My DCI Total rating topped out at 2047 I believe, if you're into such things.  I've also played on a Pro Tour.

Shall we continue?

The quiet ones that rest on their results are the ones that scare me.  Those are the people that I worry about, and will bring my A game to beat.  Menendian, Mastriano, Detwiler, James King, Brass Man, etc.  

Not you.  It'd probably take me 30 seconds to tilt you out of your chair.  Match would be over before it started.

What else you got?

Nice job.

You're right, I'm totally crushed by Soly's list of amazing achievements.  Here's my new predicted top 8 for Champs:

Soly
(empty)
(empty)
(empty)
(empty)
(empty)
(empty)
(empty)

After all, now that we've seen that list of achievements, it is likely that no one else will even show up.  Who would dare attempt to play against such a decorated master?

I just tell 'em like I see 'em.  You post about results, Soly posts results, you reply with "Actually, lets not talk about that."  Pretty sure that I came to the same conclusion as most other people reading that sequence.  No editorializing, just connecting the dots for people.

I apologize, I was attempting to take my role as a Vintage Adept seriously and respect Troy's request to avoid thread derailing.  How silly of me!  The people demand Image spamming and ridiculous posturing!

I'm not seeing how you get "I'm gonna wuss out now" from what I read as "Let's take this outside".

Matt, I amassed OVER 13 Vintage top 8s in 2009 alone  including back to back power9 top 8s at the ICBM Open, splitting the finals of TWO smaller ICBM Opens, and top8ing every tournament that was held at Xtreme Games except 1 (and I won 3).  We all know morphling's updates are poor at best.   I also took 3rd at the Steel City tournament.

Quote
In addition to this, in the same time period, I have 2 top 8s in local Legacy events plus 1 finals split, oh and I think I won an SCG Open.
<--- these don't matter (though congrats on the SCG Open, seriously.. that was pretty cool).

If you're going to back 2008, let's throw in 2 block PTQ top 8s, 2nd place in Block Champs 2008, and 3rd place in Legacy Champs in 2008. <-- you beat a bunch of retards playing Block.  Nice Job *thumbs up*

  No, lets throw in deck design.  You took an architype, changed the Akroma into a 2nd Dragon, and then claimed it as yours.  You also changed dredge OH SO SLIGHTLY and claimed it as your deck.    

I took a combo deck from 2006, retooled it completely from the ground up, and won SEVEN pieces of power 9 with it (GWSx: Bob Tendrils).  I also was the first person to perform well with Tezzeret after the Restriction of Thirst For Knowledge (ICBM Open; where I took 3rd).

I also took Almost-blue and modified that, and tore people up with VEDALKAN ARCHMAGE.

Oh, I also SINGLE HANDEDLY brought Sphinx of the Steel Wind into vintage.

I also believe I was the first one to perform well with Jace, the Mindsculptor in my deck, winning an ancestral recall in January.

Quote
My DCI Total rating topped out at 2047 I believe, if you're into such things.  I've also played on a Pro Tour.
<--- I'm not.   Don't care. However, if you want to talk about that, I started 7-0 at GP Chicago when my FIRST GAME EVER with my deck was Round 1 game 1.  oh, that's right, did I mention I played all 7 rounds?

Actually, I believe you're the one who's tilted, since I was kind-heartedly joking, and you're taking it so seriously.


Not to mention
- I'm better looking
- I'm on the best vintage team in the world
- I've dated better women than you
- My girlfriend survived Rabbies.  That's right.  RABBIES.   It's 100% Fatal without a Vaccine, and my girl kicked it in the teeth.  And she's dating a Gorilla....  Beat that!
