Hmmm... Does that refer to the colours of the picture?
(Mind you, I could be way off, I'm colourdeaf)
- J.
Somewhat. The term "brown study" is a slang expression meaning objectivity, but it is also a reference to the color scheme of the picture. A play on words, if you will. I chose it because the contrast, angle, and color all come together to reduce the detail of the foreground, and place emphasis on the detail in the sky, drawing the eye AWAY from the earth and higher up, to a place where you can't help but look at everything from a distance.

[16:23] Alacar Leoricar: maybe if you do it'll make the porn more meaningful
@Janus : LOL colourdeaf.... That's funny... I expected you to say "colorblind" but colourdeaf is awesome Kinda like when i say I have a deaf nose (which i do.... i canNOT smell anything w/ my nose... except POTENT smells I can smell faintly)
@Mr. Stuff: Would you mind changing the expansion symbol to our uniform coffeehouse symbol (found on the 2nd post under Coffeehouse Regulars)? And if it looks a little cleaner, maybe it may help to remove somoe of the dogs and cats because none of the other cards have those... I hate to stifle your creativity, but its just that perhaps you could try making it look like the others?? ....Sorry! Maybe Alacar can help make some small adjustments to make it flow along w/ the other cards But I like it, tho!! Sorry if it seems overly criticial!
@KoolKoal: HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We missed you!! and as Crimson said, it is indeed Trillian.. Bonus points go to him for being able to send you the link Do you guys actually like Trillian? i'm CONSIDERING getting it once i get my new computer.... Let me know!
@***hater -- Welcome!!! Always glad to see a new face.... Check out the first posts, and see what we want for CoffeeHouse cards, and feel free to contribute one about yourself!!
And y'know.. this morning I just woke up feeling like writing my Rise Bio and stuff.... I'm going over to Ryan's later today, but first I want to see if i can actually manage to get my stats figured out at least..... then I actually want to read a bit before heading over...
Actually I was just thinking that I should take Menchi off. I just plain forgot the expansion symbol - whoops! And the ability - maybe I can make it a little more representative of the cofeehouse instead of being generic. I must warn you that my favorite sets of all time are Unhinged and Unglued, however - my card should be creative like that, because it represents the style of magic player I am.

I wouldn't go so far as to call my colourdeafness 'awesome', but I think I understand what you mean
What I mean by 'colourdeaf' is that I can't differentiate between certain shades of colours. I can tell the difference between, for instance, brown and green, but there are certain shades of either colour that make it look like the other to me.
Orange and yellow,
Brown and green,
Blue and black,
Blue and green...
It's not that bad, but it can be a nuisance at times
@ Photon Eater: I understand now, thanks It's a good title
@KoolKoal: HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We missed you!! and as Crimson said, it is indeed Trillian.. Bonus points go to him for being able to send you the link Do you guys actually like Trillian? i'm CONSIDERING getting it once i get my new computer.... Let me know!
I actually like it quite a bit. The skinning on it is quite nice - the problem is just finding good skins however. I think there may be some at deviantart however so maybe it isn't that bad.
But there is little nuances that I really don't like about it. For example, picture sharing thru direct connect in AIM really doesn't come out right at all. AIM would be much better for that instance. Downloading files from other users tho is done well and that actually works perfectly.

That makes me wonder how those hybrid cards look to you.
But in all seriousness, I understand the feeling. Navy blue looks like black to me all the time.
Edit: @Yukora: I'll play ya if ya don't mind facin a couple rogue-ish decks. Just gotta get my IM fired up. And if yours isn't just feel free to PM me the details.
Just out of curiosity (though this may seem a bit random), does anyone else here listen to country music? Everyone I know seems to hate it, even my two brothers.
Hello everyone! It's everyone's favorite blue mage (next to mamelon).
I'm going to a friend's birthday party tonight, so I'll be gone most of the day, and I have to get ready, so I'll make this post as short as I can.
@Janus+Shinobi: Castle Imitation should work now.
@Omna: Have fun with Rise! Good to see you Danica. *hugs*
@Photon: Yes, I will indeed be using Jukar slightly differently. As soon as all this mess dies down over here (let's hope it can) I'll begin writing Academy, the novel.
@Mr. Stuff: All I ask is that you make yourself a User creature type and try to be a little into the House. If anything, use the expansion symbol I made.
@Arguas: Good to see ya pal *hugs*
Aw, heck. *Alacar moves about the House, offering hugs to any and all regulars
I love you all.
Note: The Academy full scan .zip file has been edited; Yukora had a problem with it before.
edit: *Alacar gives Crimson Avatar a for post #1200! Welp, I gotta go. Seeya!
On the YTMND, I actually had no idea what Scientology was. I hadn't heard of it before, but in general, reminds me of the Rakdos cultists
@Omna: You posted last night and today... it is really good to have you back Yes, I will be seeing you later on today as well... I need to call David shortly and find out when he's available. Right after that, I'm calling you.
Also, I'm overjoyed to hear that you're starting to write everything out! Props to you... Today is going to be an excellent day!
@Janus: One of my oldest friends is actually vaguely colorblind. I wonder, do Red and Green look very similar to you?
On Trillian: Either that or Gaim. Either one works well I advise everyone here to get either of those programs instead of the traditional AIM.
Oh and since no one actually did it... *Serves Janus a glass of OJ and his Chocolate Cake* Wow, big order this morning... Sorry, a whole cake can take a while!

Right now, I am helping Danica with her profile. We have stats spent, basic attack decided, and are now working on abilities.

Not a problem at all... Thanks for being so understanding
Yay, doing my stats now... hmmm gonna see what's up w/ Ryan..
@Janus: Sorry - didn't quite realize it was really an issue .. *feels doltish*
and Crimson! for Post 1200!!!
...whoops.. Sarnath'd.. hehe.. I'm having some tea... and Arguas- can we figure out the whole Elevator scene when i get there.. i'm not sure how you want to do it... you want to write it tgoether or wha..? ?
Here is how it works. You play Terror, targeting an opponent's creatures. Due to a little thing called "rules", the creature is "destroyed"- a term used by pro-players. A "destroyed" creature is basically useless, because it goes to someplace called the "graveyard", which is basically like Hell for MTG creatures.
Now, chances are no one will be playing black but you, since it has nogoodcreatures, so you don't have to worry about not being able to kill black creatures. As for artifact creatures, I don't even know if those are real, I think they may have been in Alpha or Arabian Nights or something, but right now I don't think any exist. Well, they might exist in Yu-Gi-Oh, or that Pirates of the Spanish Main game. And we all know that creatures are basically the only cards that matter. If an opponent counters a spell or kills your lands, it's not a big deal because I mean, after all- you've got PLENTY of spells and land, right? But creatures are like, so much better. Believe me, your opponent will probably poop his pants in fear if you kill his stuff.
So there you have it, another super hot combo to help you play better!

OMG! Photon Eater, you are teh god of black removal tech. I bow humbly before you and your clear knowledge of the elite 'rules', sharing with the lesser folk.
Janus: The deck is all yours. I don't like country so much, but I love everything else, to a point. Some points are larger than others.
Shinobi: Calm down, man. Yes I'm writing a novel. Or at least a novella. Or a short story.
As for the YTMND, I just stumbled across it. It is something I think should be aired on television for ALL to see. It is most disturbing.
Welp, I'm out for today. I'll be back this evening! *Alacar waves to all
OMG! Photon Eater, you are teh god of black removal tech.
Thanks, I work out.
Well, I am glad to have helped Danica get her character underway. She will be DAMN useful. A party with her and Mamelon's character, Jody, would have nothing to fear in terms of being harmed. MWC FTW!
Ryan, I really appreciate you using the C&D forums yesterday. I left you some comments on your entries, too, btw. Tonight I will try and write for Tibor and get him to NY, and try and nudge Alicia in that way, too. If you two have time to do your elevator scene anytime soon, let me know.
Anyway lunch for me!

@ Crimson and generally everyone: I downloaded trillion, but it looks like the problem is just that something on my computer is blocking instant messaging services. The "connection light" turns on, then off almost right away. Does any one know how I can find out whats blocking it?

Hey Photon- I was restricted by character coutn so its not up yet but I saved it, and sent it to myself so i'm gonna have Ryan look at it and we'll see what's going on, and maybe i'm doing it wrong....
Buh...today is so incredibly boring! Ever have one of those days where no matter what you do, you can't seem to stay in an even remotely good mood? Yeah, I'm having one of those days.
On the bright side, I conquered Jade Cocoon this morning and I loved every minute of it. Not a long game by any means (took me ten hours, and here I complained about Grandia 3's thirty), but it's still very impressive, full of culture and flavor, and a generally good gaming experience.
I plan on tackling JC2 some time in the future, but it's more of a random dungeon Pokemon-style thing, so I'm not too enthused =P
@Mr. Stuff: First of all, a belated welcome since I wasn't around to offer one before. Do you happen to like Ein from Cowboy Bebop? He's my favorite anime puppy ^__^;;
Also, about country music, I do admit to listening to a little bit. My musical tastes are more eclectic than anyone I know, after all. I mostly listen to female artists like Martina McBride, The Kinleys, stuff like that. I LOVE Jo Dee Messina, though. She's mah girl.
I don't like country music. It grates on my nerves.
As for Scientology, I think it's a cult and not a religion. L. Ron Hubbard pretty much gave away his intentions for the "religion" when he said that the best way to make money is to start your own religion. That stuff on the YTMND, while disturbing, didn't surprise me about the list. BTW, there's a funny series on Newgrounds called YAAFM (You Are a ****ing Moron) that had an episode dedicated to Scientology. I'll give the link when I edit this post.
So now I'm at home in West Orange. I just downloaded a new album onto my iPod from iTunes ("Prolonging the Magic" by Cake). I still have some money left over on my gift card, so I'll buy another album.
I really enjoy all music except rap, and barely tolerate country.
Ethersphere: I hate those days, but today I have plenty to do as I'm going to read the 65 pages of posts that I missed here. O.o Its funny because I didn't read back other times I was gone, and this is the longest I've been away for :p.
