[Eric Chan]

the guests are almost all bots... i wonder if they're the same bots as the ones generating magic cards

giving us stuff like this

In other news, a chemical compound blew up in Tianjin, China yesterday. Holy crap what a blast!

 

[Alfonzo Bonzo]

So who went to GP London then? How did you get on? Did you cube?

 

[Aston]

Me, 3-3 drop, no

 

[Dom Harvey]

Me, let's not talk about that, yes

 

[Aston]

One of my friends rocked up with no byes and a homebrew deck and finished like 60th though, which was cool.

 

[James Stevenson]

Damn, I wish I'd been around. Would have been sweet to meet some more riptiders (riptards?)

 

[Aoret]

I think you need to nurture the Riptide couchsurfing program that you and Wadds started James.

Nothing quite like flying across the world so you can stay inside and do the same shit you'd do at home, amirite?

 

[safra]

ahahaha, Tron
(after a while i just went ahead and cast wrath after he tapped out)

(pm me the next time any of you guys come to vancouver for a tournament or whatever i'll totally put you up)

 

[Aoret]

Same goes for me. If any of you guys ever want to stop by sunny San Diego, I have a too-small couch and/or plenty of floor space

Ever since spambots cracked our security, RipLab membership has gone way up.

Don't forget incidence of brushwaggs!
That's a stat we can track, right? ...right?

 

[Eric Chan]

I've tried making the sign-up questions harder and harder, but to no avail. These spambots clearly play Magic.

Pretty soon I'll have to amp up the questions some more. "You have an Opalescence and a Humility in play. Describe in 100 words or less what happens."

"my opponent concedes"

Question #2: "You sacrifice a fetch land and choose to play a Panglacial Wurm while searching your library. To pay its costs you sacrifice a Chromatic Sphere, and you have an Elvish Spirit Guide somewhere in your deck. How many judges need to be called before you are DQ'd?"

zero, their spider sense tingles during the deck reg

 

[Eric Chan]

Oh, also, all the spambots seem to be of the female persuasion, and they're totally helping to balance the skewed gender ratio here. At this rate we're on track to be 50/50 by 2019.

Anyone in Portland? I'm house sitting here (my hometown, but came down from a podunk Washington town I'm living in now) and could use some cube time.

 

[kevin]

I mean I can't spew Ponder-related shitposts in real life, so... I'm a pretty great catch

 

[Eric Chan]

While we're at it, is anyone in the Bay Area? I'll probably be out there for a weekend in late September, and would love to sling some cards.

I know we have CML in Seattle, but that's like 4 hours away or something. Not aware of anyone closer.

 

[Aston]

Alright, GP London was a bust but are any of the UK lot heading to the Birmingham WMCQ this weekend? I'm going to be there both days.

Should be there on Saturday, not sure about Sunday

 

[Aston]

I'll be bringing my cube up anyway, hoping to get a draft in on Saturday afternoon/evening.

If you haven't been to an Axion event before, you're in for a treat. They're where I usually play and they're always excellent.
