Ask yourself these questions:
-Do you walk into your local card shop or play group and make it a point say, "Hi" to everyone you know?
-Do you make it a point to befriend a "new commer" to your play group or local card shop within 10-15 min. of their arrival there?
-Do you actually give away cards (not rares, but key common cards like Incinerate, Rewind and the likes) to newbies?
-Do you correct your opponent on a mistake they've made knowing full-well that it could lead to your loss of the game?
-And finally, do you have the nerve to compliment someone during and/or after game play on how well they did?
If you have answered "Yes" to ALL of these questions, then you are truly a unique Magic player.
Is it me, or do magic players, in general, posses the civility of a horse's a$$!? (whoa, pipe down John Finkle, I didn't say ALL .\\agic players).
There are guys that I've played with for over a year and they STILL, don't know or want to know Jack-squat about me or anyone else that isn't on the pro-tour. Now c'mon, everyone say, "awwwwwwww, what a pity for Yellowjacket". No, really, it is a pity, but not for me, for the under-people skilled- morons who continue to be boarish and snobish to begining to mid-level players.
I'm not asking for a utopian society where everyone blows sunshine up everyones a$$ (that's Amway's job). And Im not asking for theraputic sessions with my opponent so I can 'feel-good' about myself after I get dusted by the latest 1st turn combo, either.
I think we all could brush up on the people-skills and start doing a few simple tasks like: Shaking hands with your opponent after a tournament match or how about introducing yourself to your opponent (if you don't know them already) and I mean the whole nine-yards; look at them while shaking their hand and not with a limp wrist, cold as ice hand either.
How about it, what do you think?
