Yeah I assume we will have sub forums eventually for negotiating whacky ideas. I just hope it doesn't cause a segregating atmosphere. I think I'm already a little infected with the "forum dissmissiveness" but hearing people talk honestly about what they believe goes a long way here. It's sometimes easy to have your own idea about what you think cubing should be like and impose that on everyone without really negotiating any of it with the designer. I like that the people here are excited to talk about the angle they are going for.

Endless canonical conversations about which cards are best at which CMC-colour don't happen here and it isn't the metric around which all life must revolve. It's such a breath of fresh air.

Man decks are so degenerate that they have to ban cards that do the crappiest impressions of tutors for 1 mana.

doubled up on cantrips (you know, the 3 you cant play in modern), was awesome, would do it again and recommend y'all give it a whirl.

Uh, one time we had five and we did "forced shards" drafting, where we sat in a color and you had to play a deck of your assigned shard. You could draft whatever you wanted, but only tap lands for your assigned colors. It was not the worst.

This is really reminding me of hearing about medical conferences from friends. I really don't know why the university was subsidizing them to fly out and drink and sleep with other med students but it sounds amazing.

having been sick it is hard to imagine doctors sleeping with one another. it is absurd as envisioning elementary school teachers living normal lives during the summer.

There are no nouns in
Tlön's conjectural Ursprache, from which the "present" languages and
the dialects are derived: there are impersonal verbs, modified by
monosyllabic suffixes (or prefixes) with an adverbial value. For
example: there is no word corresponding to the word "moon,", but there
is a verb which in English would be "to moon" or "to moonate." "The
moon rose above the river" is hlor u fang axaxaxas mlo, or literally:
"upward behind the onstreaming it mooned."

Well there kinda am, but I won't hold it against ya. I find I'm usually concerned more with nominals than nouns anyway.

Maybe it's because the doctors on Grey's Anatomy are all somehow the best in the world and they bone all day long.

Well if that show were at all accurate I would imagine you would be dead by now due to the ludicrous number of storms/bombs/sinkholes/crashed cruise ships/icicles/ghosts/angry widows/airplane crashes/etc.
