You probably do know more than I do. I quit collecting comics when Magic came out and never got back in :)

True... Although try playing it with an Jeweled Amulet or other 0 cc artifact in play... (that happens to be yours) :)

The category is once again, Initials. What does D.B.A. stand for? Initial guesses are due Monday, 7/2 by 6:00 AM EST and must be PMed. Anyone may join at anytime. Apollo is the Dasher this round.

What does P.D.C.A. stand for? 1. People's Discriminatory Council for Orientals (Ransac's guess) 2. Purebred Dairy Cattle Association (correct answer) 3. People's Dog Catchers Association (fuzzy's guess) 4. Police Department of COlumbia, Alabama (Turd Cutter's guess) 5. Pile Driving Contractors...

Rando: Perhaps certain things need to happen. But there's variation among those certain things or even things NOT concerning being a Pope. For instance, you could first start out as a missionary or first start out as a priest to a church. The road is not mapped out to the miniscule detail and...

He's probably referring to your Serial Killer card collection....

I didn't guess it... :)

I did address it. I stated another path by which one may become Pope, a different one from yours. Put simply, did every past Pope follow the same path to become one? The same blueprint? I would venture "no"; thus the path to become a Pope is NOT rigid and can be reached by different means...

I noticed you didn't address my statements about the president :) Actually, I don't see why you can't drop out and be a priest. Do Catholics have to go to Seminary school like Protestant ministers do? In any case, as I said, it's a roundabout argument. You say "this person is evil, so...

Rando: Well, I'm not sure if this is a roundabout argument, but if you were destined to become the president or Pope, would you be a murderer/rapist/Bad Guy in the first place? It seems to me that if you're one of those things, then you're probably NOT destined to be a Great Person (although it...

I think it's up to the tourney organizer. It can be any combination.

And though I don't profess to understand all of it, the author seems to be making the same assumption you are: that destiny controls every action, down to the "most miniscule", where Ura has postulated that destiny could be your overall "fate" in life and not get bogged down in details. The...

NOW I get Greek Ra... Good going ErinPuff (and Chaos Turtle, if it's confirmed)!

DUke: Exactly, and I believe I asked this question a few posts before you. Rando: As Ura said, I don't believe you can really apply a human definition to such an abstract idea. But I like how Ura presented it: destiny doesn't have to have things mapped out for you down to the millisecond, it...

real thing: Well, Apollo pretty much said what I would have said to each of your points, except I have to add to "We are all good players"? This statement just smacks of arrogance. While y'all may be good players, at no point in this thread did YJ specifically attack your playing skills (and...

Remember, I also said I believed in free will. I was merely arguing because no one else was at the time. However, to answer Rando's questions (and kind of DUke's): Why would having your life predetermined be dehumanizing? If you like how your life is, it doesn't really matter, does it? If...

So drawing a match where there's no winner or loser is fine; giving up a match where there's a winner and loser is not fine (where there's money/prize involved). Gotcha.

I got 1, 2, 5 and 9 but that's all I guessed.

Rando: So if I understand you correctly, then you DO equate "destiny" with "autopilot/no choices"? Hmm... I consider the possibility of "smoke screens"... that what you think may be "choices" and "branches" are actually "dotted lines" on the flowchart... they exist, but it has been already...

Landkiller: Not sure who you're talking to in your last post, so I'll assume it's Rando since I really didn't say anything to you to warrant it :) Rando: How can you "objectively" look at your decisions when you're the one making them? And I think your fallacy is your #2, where you seem to be...
