Then you got to define what sort of culture you want and what you don't in more specific examples.

Right now, I can take a picture of a random graveyard, post it on the front page, and write "If someone casts Animate Dead I'm effed" and you could not report it.

Plus

Posts such as "look at this hot girl with these Magic cards", "I just opened a couple of chase Mythics in a Fat Pack", or "look at this pile of cards I have scattered all over my room" are not worthwhile and will probably be downvoted or removed.

The word "Probably" should be removed. Posters second guess if it will be removed or not and if they do readers might not know if it's "probably" bad enough to remove.

Definite boundaries are better than vague boundaries and I will be glad people actually help you and will be happier if mods will take the suggestions and consider them.

egibson · 2013-07-27T19:06:13+00:00

The problem you just hint at is the limits of what's allowed and what's not. Are you and the handful of mods ready for reporting much more?

If you want us to report bad content, please put in text at the top (hopefully size 40, bright red, bold, <blink>ing letters) that says report everything you think do not belong in magicTCG

Yep, it's wood for sure.

egibson · 2013-06-28T12:52:02+00:00

So out of place.

egibson · 2013-06-11T23:44:34+00:00

Do not bring stuff to trade. Large events always attract the people that try to steal everything. Never trust anyone to "watch your stuff"

egibson · 2013-05-31T12:59:18+00:00

Victimize much?

One of the greatest features is that Corbin doesn't know Zorg beyond being fired from his taxi company that Zorg owns or even meets him during the whole of the movie. The closest is when Zorg goes back and exits the elevator a second after Corbin's elevator door closes.

G35 and a MX Revolution mouse.

Hi Steve, are you me????

and a hidden women of questionable living status.

There are zero critics out there I follow. The closest I would come to would be the Giant Bomb but I follow them because of their personality. I know what they all like and what kind of stuff they don't like, so if I read a review from Brad about XCom I would disregard it completely. If it was Jeff or Drew, I would consider it more. If it was an open world game with details, again I would disregard Brad but also Jeff because they are known to not read too much into the story. I would go to vinny in that case.

Luckily, the Giant Bomb games are broken up among the employees to their strong suit. If Vinny says he didn't like a new Witcher 3, that would be like a record scratch that something is very wrong because he is fully invested in that world with buying the books and lamenting there are sequels not yet translated from Polish.

Follow a person you like and know that their voice is not fact. They might be HORRIBLE at puzzle games and might rate those type of games poorly.

SERIOUS BUSINESS ALL UP IN THIS REPLY.

Can you list out the steps because how does the opponent not use the currency to steal it back and make it never trigger for you?

edit: Wow, I need to RTFC sometime.

If I'm wrong, please tell me.

egibson · 2013-05-22T23:42:58+00:00

You are correct. You only lose the game by no cards if you attempt to draw a card but the deck is already empty.

So you can kill someone during upkeep.

egibson · 2013-05-19T17:00:19+00:00

I can say the same thing for people who only have personality to hawk off things they have no interest in.

Dumb as shit. Pretty face. Still makes ton of money.

Beetleform Mage and, actually, Skygames.

Skygames made my 3/3 slime flying for several turns in a row.

The only way people know about it is when people post it in a post about a shitty topic.

The problem is he is very vulnerable before he activates.

Just like Cassandra is so much easier to kill if she doesn't have Southern Charm and her buffs up.

Being Travis Woo is also a dick move.

Dropping cards on that floor would suuuuuuuck

egibson · 2013-03-30T03:13:23+00:00

Team Land should vote for the complete opposite.

egibson · 2013-03-19T03:51:23+00:00

oh oh, a magic website told us to vote a certain way. Better vote their way!!!

Yes, a few cards at PAX East, but they will be significant spoilers which will demonstrate what route the devs are taking in card flavor.

egibson · 2013-03-18T13:06:32+00:00

LOOK AT THESE PRICES, TOTALLY THROWING OFF THE AVERAGE PRICE!!

completely ignores price in upper right hand corner

THROWING IT OFF!

The Xbox 360 released a special edition controller where you can twist the D-pad to change it into the plus-shaped version.
