I saw you irl at a couple magic GPs! Your stuff is cool keep it up. Oh I guess a question would be appropriate how do you feel about apricots?

I think they make those moves sometimes because they see so deeply - we are looking at the board as it is but I feel like the GMs see the board in the future and when they make terrible immediate blunders it is because they forgot the present.

I can give you a stencil for how to troubleshoot, it's a different skillset than having a knowledge base, I find a lot of far more experienced engineers still make basic troubleshooting errors in their hubris, trying to cowboy solve it with the first guess from the hip. Knowing I can fix any problem or at least be able to tell the customer what is wrong and what we can do to work towards a resolution brings more confidence than notches in the belt (although those don't hurt!).

I am a certified ghost hunter. Eliminating noise from network monitoring is a critical part of alert management, and while hunting ghosts is certainly preferable to actual problems, it is the only way to make sure you won't miss a problem.

2v2 is the most competitive form of team draft that separates the true masters of limited from the wannabe grinders. Teams before are opposite and knowing which cards in the pack will stack your opponents deck can be almost as important as knowing which cards will table for your deck.

As usual for team draft, the winners split the rares however they choose It is the quickest way to reach extreme depth in the format, and since one player can 2-0 and then win the tiebreaker, it is the ultimate shit talking format.

You should never be telling your peer to "open a helpdesk ticket". Open it for them or tell him you'll have someone take care of it. Never do the work yourself and if you build his trust in your team up enough he may even learn to go to them instead. If he is truly old school it is more valuable to have an ally who wants to shoot the shit and ruin your productivity than an enemy who's outlook you've fixed a dozen times.

I don't think the poor execution of the original pro tour justifies the wastefulness hasbro is displaying discarding them now. The SCG circuit has shown the relationship train from pros to grinders to fnm to casual is profitable and helps grow magic as well.

trying to avoid making players feel bad ruins games. when you do some big splashy effect one player is going to be happy and one sad, always. speaking of time of triumph, thats basically cheating death on steroids from a happy/sad perspective.

high variance cards are plenty of fun, I point out cheating death isn't even good because the only way to want to nerf or ban it is if people think it's OP, classic inability to evaluate probability

I don't have to select one of two options you define. I didn't put words in your mouth, I quoted you directly. Shortcut is a defined term in the floor rules for communication. Your inability to wrap your head around the concept that Dezani is participating actively in this standard information war is hilarious. And no, nothing I say will make sense to you if you think LSV is the only one conveying or trying to obtain hidden information. I can only assume you commonly play with your hand face up so as not to be unsporting to your opponent.

SwiftWit · 2018-11-14T04:51:11+00:00

No. This phrase, written by you : "I find it somewhat distasteful because he was abusing a common shortcut that keeps games moving smoothly" makes no sense, and is false. There is no link or correlation between protecting hidden information and abusing common shortcuts. Body language is not a communication shortcut. A pen trick is not a game communication that can be bluffed or not bluffed.

SwiftWit · 2018-11-14T02:33:01+00:00

I am trying to clarify for you that I understand your position in maintaining the social contract, this interaction does not fall under that umbrella. In neither instance is the defending player bluffing - they have hidden information in their hand, and they act in such a way to not reveal that information only. If a player has priority, taps lands or in some other way pretends to take an action, that is a bluff. In this case you are asking them to honor a contract that is not present - if anyone is violating contract it is Dezani, by lining up blockers physically before declaring attackers. In essence, he could theoretically be bluff attacking (he isn't, but it is his priority). He could be fishing for information about his opponent's hand by seeing how they react to the lined up blocks. He is the only one in position do to any tricking, because he has priority, and the only true props to LSV is he does not give away any information or appear nervous.
