About Me: I'm a geek, I'm addicted to puns, and always up for having fun. I'm thoroughly addicted to mint (spearmint in particular) and hot chocolate (which I devour by the liter, usually with fresh spearmint leaves in it.) I'm a sucker for a good love story, even moreso if it's in the middle of a great action sequence. The two things I value most are friendship and knowledge, as you could never have enough of either. I also seem to be the only person who feels deprived by having to live on a planet with only a single moon. If there are any more of you out there, tell me so I can know I'm not alone.

The current topics under discussion….
1.) The Contest that seems to be hindered by poor judging from other clans. 2.) Dave Slate and Zigathon poetry…..which I have given two very enthusiastic thumbs up to…..a little depressing but nice just the same. I guess it wouldn’t be poetry if it was all butterflies and buttercups! 3.) Nipples will always be an ever present topic. 4.) The possibility of a Clan meet in Minnesota. 5.) Daron’s continued obsession with underage girls!! 6.) DUX’s ongoing string of bad luck! 7.) And most shocking of all……Cyan and Belgreth agreed on something!
And without further adoooo……I present the world with………………
"Talkin outta turn....That's a paddlin'. Starin' at my sandals....That's a paddlin'. Paddlin' the school canoe....You better believe that's a paddlin'!" --Jasper
Awesome title and intro to the new thread, JJ. So, I'm moving out of the house I grew up in for the last time. Which also means that this is my last Tuesday here. My friend Brandt has been around a lot to remember old times. How do we do that? Beer pizza and GTA: Vice City! I saw V for Vendetta and Silent Hill recently. Those movies are the bee's knees. Tonight I'm going to watch the remake of The Producers. Later Called.
Good first post Jonski. I don't really get the title, and the "nipples" thing got really old about seven or eight threads ago. I mean, nipples rock, but as a joke in a thread title, we're really making ourselves look stupid IMO. Probably too late for that now, though.
I'm hoping to see The Secretary. It's from 2003 but I never saw it, and hear it's good. Anyone see it?
I think lil akroma lost her computer again. She posted a few weeks ago that she'd be posting at least daily from then on, but we haven't seen her since! And she hasn't been on AIM in weeks, too.
It's hot and 30 here today - which is summer weather. Kinda humid too, so it feels pretty hot! I took Gavin for his first slurpee.
I'm sorry Daron but you have no room to make excuses for your comment about not having Nipples in the thread title!!
It's your fault they are there and can blame no one but yourself sick perverted self!:p

1.) The Contest that seems to be hindered by poor judging from other clans.

1. The problem is that the communtiy is to big to conduct what we would consider to be reasonable polls. Every little kid (while waiting for momma to finish cooking dinner) is going to ask all his/her other friends to vote for his/her card. It is politics. This may be why I want little to no involvement in such contests. We are the ancient legendary Called clan. To hell with these pansy clan contests.
2. I am glad you liked Zig and I's poems! I may post one each Friday from now on. The one thing better than writing out your feelings in poetry is having others say they feel it too.
3. I have nipples; 2 of them and they are pink!!
4. I am there! I think our next and true step is to propose a date and see what date will get the largest turn out. How does the weekend of August 19th sound?
5. Well i have an obession with underage girls too.. Just not an active one.
6. *Knocks on wood*
7. Hell must have frozen over! If so, lets all kill ourselves! It'll be a clan meet for all eternity!!
We need to decide how to deal with HKKID. I say add him. I don't know the whole history but his posts are fun and his sig is stylish. 15 seems like a more typical number than 14. It isn't as though there are an over load of posts here. Plus, I want to continue our strict no friends policy.
Well, that is that.. I think I'll watch some six feet under ondemand and have a night with Jack.
Well the clans voting seems to have a problem when people stop looking at the criterea. Which has happened even before these guild clans. There seems to be some roleplaying or something between the clans with alliances and wars and whatever. Or am I just reading weird posts? Then there is always hate voting and other things such as that which probably goes both ways. I mean yeah the guild clans had it a little easier with the contest but they would have to do something guild related to have it clan related. Granted they could have expanded on their generic mechanics like I wish wotc would do...but meh.
We don't really have a strong no friends policy. We just don't have a friends policy because we couldn't decide on anything. And with the way other clans let any and everyone post I think our way works.

Yeah..I'm happy everytime I realize that I never have to see a Yukora post in our threads. No other clan can claim that. Man, that's so our next thread title. 'Yukora Free, The [Called] Way To Be'

I'd buy this for a dollar.
I saw Robynnnnne lurking just a little while ago
We got A vote in the contest. All I wanted was a little recognition
I was pretty sure the excessive text was going to hurt us
Yeah, I'm here. I've been working on my course and going out lots. Sorting through some personal issues at the moment (isn't everyone?). This is a letting everyone know I'm alive post. Enjoy the knowledge.
1.) The Contest that seems to be hindered by poor judging from other clans. 2.) Dave Slate and Zigathon poetry…..which I have given two very enthusiastic thumbs up to…..a little depressing but nice just the same. I guess it wouldn’t be poetry if it was all butterflies and buttercups! 3.) Nipples will always be an ever present topic. 4.) The possibility of a Clan meet in Minnesota. 5.) Daron’s continued obsession with underage girls!! 6.) DUX’s ongoing string of bad luck! 7.) And most shocking of all……Cyan and Belgreth agreed on something!
1) One reason the voting criteria wasn't followed was that when the voting thread was set up, the voting criteria wasn't mentioned nor even linked to. I noticed this at the time and shook my head, hoping that it would still be followed. I don't think it was. But we have to stop being bitter - and just be better.
2) I have poetry but I find it's kinda personal. As for other people's poetry, I don't get much out of it. I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm emotionally selfish. I did enjoy the poetry of one clan mate though, which I read privately a while back.
4) I too want to hear other people's ideas for dates. We had talked about earlier in the summer, though... now I'm hearing August-ish?
5) Denied!
7) Yeah, and Belgareth's clan was the only one who gave us a pity vote in the contest.
News, news, news. Let's see. I'm still alive, if anyone had any doubts.
I also started a blog the other day. You can find it at http://binarydragon.blogspot.com and it will chronical all the hilarious crap my mountains of technoogy give me. Hopefully some of you might find it enjoyable.
Finally, I just got back from the longest bikeride in the world. Well, maybe not ever, but the longest that I've taken. The total distance covered was 20 miles, or a little over 32 km, and I managed it in 93 minutes, which gives an average speed of about 13 mph, 21 kph, 5.8m/s, or 0.00000002c, depending on your units of choice. Needless to say, I'm in a new kind of pain.
Within an hour of returning home, I drank 2 full liters of water. Crazy, aint it?

I love your title Nick....I think it needs to be there NOW!
I have never agreed with you more Bro.
~*Waves to elf and invisiTom!*~
:sneaky:I saw a Yukora post in here....I swear I did.....:sneaky:
EDS:...You know...I was reading the Cytoplast Root-Kin and I noticed that he gets bigger everytime you put another one in play. d00d...that is so sweet! I think I'm going to fabric a Simic/Graft deck.....aggro with some control elements...I mean it is blue for goodness sakes. Just an aside....I picked up a Foil DCI Counterspell....the DOM artwork...for $14. Is that good? I also got 3 packs of Diss and opened a Breeding Pool!!
EDS #2: This is sad....my original post was done at 6 am this morning and I'm editing it...AGAIN....12 hours later.
My regionals deck is below....please comment and tear it up. Some sideboard suggestions would be nice. Thanks in advance!
"Talkin outta turn....That's a paddlin'. Starin' at my sandals....That's a paddlin'. Paddlin' the school canoe....You better believe that's a paddlin'!" --Jasper
I don't think you have enough shuffle to justify running Top. Seems like Wildfire would go nicely in your deck also..very, very nicely. Lastly, I don't think you can justify running Wrecking Ball or Putrefy..your birds are not going to stay alive very often, and you have no other sources of black mana. At the least, you'd need to run a swamp to find w/ STE. But honestly, I think you'd be better off converting that deck to RG Wildfire.

Nick...you are obviously crazy....there are 3 swamps in there to fetch with. And I had R/G Wildfire at one time but it wasn't fast enough. I was going to put WIldfire in the sideboard and make it convertable to that. The top helps me find what I need and gives me the draw if my win condition is in 2 of those 3 cards. I may take the tops out.....they were on the list to go if anything.

Oh I missed those swamps. Well, I don't think you need 3 of them either, you only have 4 cards total that you use them, you'll always be able to tutor for one if need be. At the least, run more duals instead of 2 of those.
If you're not going to run WF, I see no reason to run 4x Stone Rain..they're never going to accomplish anything by themselves.
Hello members of The Called, I would like to become a friend of your clan. I have been expanding my clan postings and you guys look like a cool bunch. I'd like to friend ya. Though it looks like you don't have a friend list...
Ugh.
I changed the thread title.
Come on guys, no need to single out one specific member...
Some things are just not worth going against the grain for.
That said, we still don't have a friends policy, and we will definately not allow random unwanted posts here going forward.
It's a shame when people really don't have a sense of humour. But, oh well...**** 'em.
I will again try to change my bio:p

Amazing, that's like the one Administrative action you've taken, ever. How sad that it had to be against your own Clan.
DUX: Yukora is an obnoxious forum member that posts in EVERY Clan thread except for ours. The concept of 'Clan Friends' is bad enough as it is, but, he abuses it to the point of obscenity.
Well however anyone runs their clan is their buisness and not mine. I'm happy with the way things are. I don't know that Yokura posts obnoxiously or anything, but I do know he posts a ton in almost every clan thread. I don't lurk enough...or at all really....to say much on this. I do think he has a good enough sense of humor to take the other title, but others might not....and I suppose we wouldn't want to encourage others to single out members in a more distasteful fassion. And who knows, maybe Yokura would have taken offence.
Then again you'd think that if singling out individuals is bad then maybe singling out a specific clan is bad. I don't know....stone raining Hyrule or something?
Really doesn't matter much to me. I'm perfectly content to stick around just the called and chat amung friends.

Furor and Yukora took offense at the title.
I just didn't think we needed to stir the pot.
Yukora has been told he posts too often in the clan forum, by me...today, personally, so yeah.
Can we move along?

The current topics under discussion….
1.) The Contest that seems to be hindered by poor judging from other clans.
2.) Dave Slate and Zigathon poetry…..which I have given two very enthusiastic thumbs up to…..a little depressing but nice just the same. I guess it wouldn’t be poetry if it was all butterflies and buttercups!
3.) Nipples will always be an ever present topic.
4.) The possibility of a Clan meet in Minnesota.
5.) Daron’s continued obsession with underage girls!!
6.) DUX’s ongoing string of bad luck!
7.) And most shocking of all……Cyan and Belgreth agreed on something!
And without further adoooo……I present the world with………………
So, I'm moving out of the house I grew up in for the last time.
Which also means that this is my last Tuesday here.
My friend Brandt has been around a lot to remember old times. How do we do that? Beer pizza and GTA: Vice City!
I saw V for Vendetta and Silent Hill recently. Those movies are the bee's knees. Tonight I'm going to watch the remake of The Producers.
Later Called.
I'm hoping to see The Secretary. It's from 2003 but I never saw it, and hear it's good. Anyone see it?
I think lil akroma lost her computer again. She posted a few weeks ago that she'd be posting at least daily from then on, but we haven't seen her since! And she hasn't been on AIM in weeks, too.
It's hot and 30 here today - which is summer weather. Kinda humid too, so it feels pretty hot! I took Gavin for his first slurpee.
.
It's your fault they are there and can blame no one but yourself sick perverted self!:p
Hello LurkerLynnis.
Now I'll address the current topics under discussion….
1. The problem is that the communtiy is to big to conduct what we would consider to be reasonable polls. Every little kid (while waiting for momma to finish cooking dinner) is going to ask all his/her other friends to vote for his/her card. It is politics. This may be why I want little to no involvement in such contests. We are the ancient legendary Called clan. To hell with these pansy clan contests.
2. I am glad you liked Zig and I's poems! I may post one each Friday from now on. The one thing better than writing out your feelings in poetry is having others say they feel it too.
3. I have nipples; 2 of them and they are pink!!
4. I am there! I think our next and true step is to propose a date and see what date will get the largest turn out. How does the weekend of August 19th sound?
5. Well i have an obession with underage girls too.. Just not an active one.
6. *Knocks on wood*
7. Hell must have frozen over! If so, lets all kill ourselves! It'll be a clan meet for all eternity!!
We need to decide how to deal with HKKID. I say add him. I don't know the whole history but his posts are fun and his sig is stylish. 15 seems like a more typical number than 14. It isn't as though there are an over load of posts here. Plus, I want to continue our strict no friends policy.
Well, that is that.. I think I'll watch some six feet under ondemand and have a night with Jack.
Yeah the nipple thing has been played..

We don't really have a strong no friends policy. We just don't have a friends policy because we couldn't decide on anything. And with the way other clans let any and everyone post I think our way works.

I'd buy this for a dollar.
I saw Robynnnnne lurking just a little while ago
We got A vote in the contest. All I wanted was a little recognition
I was pretty sure the excessive text was going to hurt us
*wanders off*

1) One reason the voting criteria wasn't followed was that when the voting thread was set up, the voting criteria wasn't mentioned nor even linked to. I noticed this at the time and shook my head, hoping that it would still be followed. I don't think it was. But we have to stop being bitter - and just be better.
2) I have poetry but I find it's kinda personal. As for other people's poetry, I don't get much out of it. I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm emotionally selfish. I did enjoy the poetry of one clan mate though, which I read privately a while back.
4) I too want to hear other people's ideas for dates. We had talked about earlier in the summer, though... now I'm hearing August-ish?
5) Denied!
7) Yeah, and Belgareth's clan was the only one who gave us a pity vote in the contest.
EDIT: Hey Robynne!
.
I also started a blog the other day. You can find it at http://binarydragon.blogspot.com and it will chronical all the hilarious crap my mountains of technoogy give me. Hopefully some of you might find it enjoyable.
Finally, I just got back from the longest bikeride in the world. Well, maybe not ever, but the longest that I've taken. The total distance covered was 20 miles, or a little over 32 km, and I managed it in 93 minutes, which gives an average speed of about 13 mph, 21 kph, 5.8m/s, or 0.00000002c, depending on your units of choice. Needless to say, I'm in a new kind of pain.
Within an hour of returning home, I drank 2 full liters of water. Crazy, aint it?

:sneaky:I saw a Yukora post in here....I swear I did.....:sneaky:
EDS:...You know...I was reading the Cytoplast Root-Kin and I noticed that he gets bigger everytime you put another one in play. d00d...that is so sweet! I think I'm going to fabric a Simic/Graft deck.....aggro with some control elements...I mean it is blue for goodness sakes. Just an aside....I picked up a Foil DCI Counterspell....the DOM artwork...for $14. Is that good? I also got 3 packs of Diss and opened a Breeding Pool!!
EDS #2: This is sad....my original post was done at 6 am this morning and I'm editing it...AGAIN....12 hours later.
My regionals deck is below....please comment and tear it up. Some sideboard suggestions would be nice. Thanks in advance!
2x Stomping Ground
2x Skarrg, the Rage Pits
3x Swamp
7x Mountain
10x Forest
SPELLS
2x Putrefy
1x Flames of the Blood Hand
3x Seal of Fire
3x Sensei's Divining Top
2x Wrecking Ball
4x Stone Rain
2x Char
4x Giant Solifuge
2x Arashi, the Sky Asunder
4x Sakura-Tribe Elder
4x Birds of Paradise
2x Burning-Tree Shaman
4x Rumbling Slum
Nick...you are obviously crazy....there are 3 swamps in there to fetch with. And I had R/G Wildfire at one time but it wasn't fast enough. I was going to put WIldfire in the sideboard and make it convertable to that. The top helps me find what I need and gives me the draw if my win condition is in 2 of those 3 cards. I may take the tops out.....they were on the list to go if anything.
If you're not going to run WF, I see no reason to run 4x Stone Rain..they're never going to accomplish anything by themselves.
thanks DarkNightCavalier for the sig!

From out that wine-dark fog,
And spake he unto all our crew:

Furor - It is odd that you request the changing of our thread title. Though I must say, I do not know what it means.. Yukora is a card, right?
What is this decent upon us [Called]?

I changed the thread title.
Come on guys, no need to single out one specific member...
Some things are just not worth going against the grain for.
That said, we still don't have a friends policy, and we will definately not allow random unwanted posts here going forward.

Amazing, that's like the one Administrative action you've taken, ever. How sad that it had to be against your own Clan.
DUX: Yukora is an obnoxious forum member that posts in EVERY Clan thread except for ours. The concept of 'Clan Friends' is bad enough as it is, but, he abuses it to the point of obscenity.
Then again you'd think that if singling out individuals is bad then maybe singling out a specific clan is bad. I don't know....stone raining Hyrule or something?
Really doesn't matter much to me. I'm perfectly content to stick around just the called and chat amung friends.

Furor and Yukora took offense at the title.
I just didn't think we needed to stir the pot.
Yukora has been told he posts too often in the clan forum, by me...today, personally, so yeah.
Can we move along?
