Connecticut Player Finder: We're better than you <3

[Mogwai]

I made nats but didn't go, I don't have any points, just the event which i didn't attend, its just an inside joke with friends, cuz I could have gone lol.

did you go to the rav limited ptq's in hartford? I made top 8 there once. then dropped because I did'nt have time for top 8 draft.

na, I was back in Pittsburgh then so I was typically going to all Ohio, MD, and PA events with the CMU drafters. Turns out that while being in the same area as Nick Eisel and Ben Peebles-Mundy will make you really good, it also means that there are a lot of really good players in that region :\.

 

[Chum]

ya, there isn't really any one that great in ct, I played with the best players in the state, and we aren't that great, all of us average an 1800 to 1900 rating.

I haven't checked my rating in awhile, but I'd imagine my limited is still hovering in the 1800s somewhere...

You going to any Kyoto Qualifiers? I think I might go to Philly or Boston on the 22nd and then maybe NJ on Dec 27th, but the rest are pretty inconveniently scheduled.

EDIT: Ew, it's a 1791, I don't remember when it got that low, do they degrade if you don't play for a certain amount of time?

 

[Chum]

no, I havent been very active since I entered college. I go to a store every once in a while, but its sad, no knows how to draft well, i just walk in and **** everyone.

lol, sounds like mtgo. I was at 1950 on mtgo just ****** everyone in SSS 8-4s with mono red. Also sounds like when I'd go to FNM whenever I was home from college. Average card shop players aren't very good XD

 

[pockyD]

i just heard BENJAMIN PEEBLES-MUNDY

 

[Mogwai]

i just heard BENJAMIN PEEBLES-MUNDY

lol, he's like, super ridiculous god tier at magic. He's one of the best standard deck builders in the US and is one of the best players I've ever seen.

And is also in his 9th semester at CMU since enrolling in Fall 2003, lol.

 

[choknater]

oh wow its those gremlin furby things

 

[Chum]

I'm not a fan of fnm, where i used to play we would do 16k tournaments twice a week, bigger pay outs, and they were standard, which is my specialty.

 

[SwiftBass]

eots is the daily, I'm never going to finish it /sigh

that sounds like WoW

/smells around

smells like WoW

what server do you

Swift plays wow too?!?! Cort and Jake do too...and GEOS!

 

[P.c. Chris]

and the oneandonly KIP lol >_<

 

[Mogwai]

Yeah, me too. Someone needs to hangout with me on Thursday...I'm free! (Goes to call Wes....)

I'd probably be game if you come down to Stamford. If the Phillies don't wrap up the world series tonight, and they decide to play in TB tomorrow, I'll need to be having the game on while playing though.

 

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

All this MTG talk has me nostalgic for 1996. I was beast back then rofl

I play on twisting nether. also i'm triple windowing right now grinding honor for everyone

 

[pockyD]

Don't try to outrun one of Dominia's Grizzlies; it'll catch you, knock you down, and eat you. Of course, you could run up a tree. In that case, you'll get a nice view before it knocks the tree down and eats you.

 

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

The scavengers who first found it called it 'the bone crank'. Not a bad name, I'll say.

 

[_V_]

lmao @ the triple windowing.

Kip plays!?!?! Awesome!

I thought he only played Dota lol.

I miss Dota

[SwiftBass]

Im trying to do so as well, just got mah flyer so ima stack chips all day.

I only got around 10k honor and like 3/0/10/3 marks (AB/WSG/EYE/AV).

Ima pvp'er at heart so like I blew money on epic gems for a while to go wit da s2 stuff. but now Ima stack everything.


Kip is pretty godly at WoW from what chris tells me

 

[thumbswayup]

not really, because the samus wasn't going to make you draw 6,000 cards or deal you 416851891654 damage with a fireball, they were just trying to survive. It's more like they were at 2 with no dudes, you attacked with a 2/2, then they brainfreezed themselves in a desperate attempt to mill moment's peace in order to flashback and stay alive for just one turn, they hit moment's peace, triumphantly flash it back and you just respond with sudden shock to kill them anyway. That's a better analogy .

The fact that I understood part of that makes me want to kill myself.

 

[ZoSo]

Mogwai, that analogy was incredible.

I used to play Magic. My two biggest problems with the game are how expensive it is and the fact that no matter how good your deck is, you're ALWAYS gonna have those games where you just can't make anything happen.

So, I sorta really love the game of magic, but I've definitely found my activity dwindling recently. It is a card game, so luck is a fundamental element in it, and as such, I've come to accept that there are games where you can't win no matter what you do. For every one of those losses though, there are at least 2 losses that I can look back at and see ways that I could've at least given myself a better chance to win.

The real problem I have with magic is that I cannot stand the majority of the people that play it. Everyone feels entitled to win every match in magic and will literally john for the entire amount of time they have between a round that they lost and the next round. I've had people refuse to say "good game" to me in magic because they drew 10 non-lands and 10 lands, even when my card distribution was no better. I've seen people call the judge on a 12 year old with an 80 card deck. The level of poor sportsmanship and overinflated sense of ability in the game is just unbearable to me.

Whenever I think about whether to go to a smash tournament or a magic tournament now, the decision is a slam dunk for smash because I'd always rather spend my day around smashers than magic players, even if I'm higher on the pecking order in magic.

Cort is so good at WoW.

You know when you hit 80 all your chips and points wipe, right? Or I am pretty sure they do.

 

[Mogwai]

skull clamp

that card was legal for like... a couple months... I've read the development notes on that one and it's really a travesty that it managed to sneak out and into booster packs. Zvi once said that his greatest regret in R & D was not finding a reason to prevent damnation from being printed, but I think even that falls miles short of the skullclamp abomination...

Yep.

'Nuff said.

EDIT: I think my favorite story like that is how Memory Jar was never legal in Standard.

 

[DarkDragoon]

lol Wesley I would **** the balls off you in Magic. Also brilliant analysis of a tertiary character, still a smash genius.

:D Its Scar!
>_>...*squints*

I basically like to use characters that are uncommon.

Mewtwo is uncommon. Mewtwo also has a sword.
In his tail.
**** yea.

i liked how they thought that the effects of ancestral recall and healing salve were close enough to both be in the same cycle

i also like how when they realized how unbelievably broken ancestral recall was, they figured that they could neutralize it simply by making it rare

I haven't played MTG in several years and quit WoW almost 2 years ago (after having played since closed Beta). Both were good times that also ate my life.

 

[KevinM]

I think the last deck I played in magic I ran like
4 Masticore
4 Voltaic Key
4 Grim Monolith

and thats all I can remember.

I miss those days.

I know exactly what you mean. Its like when you go to an event you have the casual players that for some reason have to tell you how your going to lose and they say every thing they do. Then you **** them and they call your deck "cheap" and they should have won etc (The first time this happened to me I was playing affinity with clamp so it was equivalent to cheating lol). I prefer to play with more skilled players to avoid that, plus its more fun for me

Ya i'll i do is pvp i had full s2 in my bags before i hit 70, now I have 12k honor and 14/16/32/58 marks
