    Is Mainstream Magic possible?

    I don't think Magic can be mainstream, to echo some sentiments, because it's a rather specialized niche of gaming AND requires a wee bit more effort to understand and follow, if you are just to be a spectator. And the satanic association will always be with it, like it or not...

    I'm useless...

    this has been mentioned before, but off the top of my head and without reading Gizmo's articles (sorry, pressed for time with this backlog), I'd say when you have an idea for a card, think supporting cards to take care of most types of permanents and to help get out your card faster and start...

    Being Casual

    Well, I'm pretty sure I didn't flame or even call Aaron names over that article, just that I got the same vibe as Apollo from it and spoke my thoughts. Re: Duel One good thing about being gone is that I can say *I* wasn't doing anything and I'm pretty postive no one was on my account because...

    CPA Voting Issues: Card Multiples

    Abstractly, I think 4 is fine just because now the game is designed with that number in mind. I don't know WHY 4 was particularly picked back in the day though. I WISH there could be more to keep the Plague Rat design going but I recognize that it'd be too hard to balance, especially with all...

    Snow or Blackman?

    I think Gizmo would have been/be a good editor. Especially since he seems to travel the sites more and have an idea about what articles are supposed to be, as opposed to me with my one or two Magic sites :). All I know are curse words.... and how to chop them out.

    What is Bandwagon-ing?

    After the spam discussion, I've been watching myself slightly, TRYING not to get into chatty discussions (I might have slipped here or there though). But no BIG change...

    CPA Voting Issues: Legalize Portal?

    Short answer: Don't know enough about how Portal will affect the environment if it's made legal. Long thoughts: Portal was a bad idea, as some have already pointed out. WOTC should have kept with the Starter decks and just stripped them down if they really wanted to get more basic. Huh...

    7th edition rumor...

    But I was asking if the decks you can build right now and add a Cursed Scroll would be competitive with other decks right now. I mean, basically you pretend Cursed Scroll is available right now, build the decks, and play them against the current decks. Would they do well? Better? Worse...

    What do you have on the sidelines...

    But I use a figure counter thingy for life and beads for tokens (which used to be my life). I have the counters from the Fallen Empires Duelist but never got around to punching them out and using them.

    Favourite Article Writer

    A lot of duplicate topics coming up... I know this is one... well, I don't read too much (just here and the Dojo), but I liked Alongi's style. And I'm having a brain hiccup, but whoever used to be the editor of the Dojo and was Bad Player... oh, wait, it was Flores. LOL, Yellowjacket...

    How do you organize your collection?

    Wasn't this asked before? It had to have been because I said my cards are by set... oh well, no one else seems to be worried about it. Maybe it's not in Classic...

    #s of new mechanics?

    I'd lean towards A, although sometimes they have stuff that appears in later sets (like the Sleeper enchantments).

    Fans of Stupid Red Burn, I'd like your help...

    Not that it really helps you (I don't think), but wasn't Dune Echo or Gizmo doing an article-type thing on Sligh/red in CPA Issues? It's been a month so maybe I'm remembering wrong... but there was something in there about Sligh.

    Kids, Proxies and Printers

    I think it's fine since Crackdown clearly stated what he's using it for and no one's going to mistake them for the originals. It's no different than taping your CD on a tape so you can listen to it in you cassette only car...

    A question

    But if it's one person, Zadok would be good. The chatroom sounds better though.

    IMPORTANT QUESTIONNAIRE: Article Standards

    1) Should our front page feature articles that are not about M:TG? (My current standard: No.) In general, probably not. Depends how it ties in with the CPA (which is about MTG in my book) 2) Should non-M:TG content be kept in articles to be posted on the front page? (My current standard: To...

    Casual Deck v. Sub-Par Deck

    My stance pretty much mirrors most comments made by Apollo, Gizmo, and Ura. Casual is looking for unusual ways to win/play the game, sub-par is just using BAD cards. Sometimes they intersect and sometimes the don't.

    A questionare. Fill out at your own leasure and at your own risk.

    Did this originally start in Questions and get moved here? Or did it always start here? It seems it's better suited for the other forum... 1) When did you first come to the CPA? January 2000. 2) What brought you here? Dojo message boards were sucking, big time. 3) What do you think of the...

    Good news!

    Where does it say that Top Deck is going away? Although it doesn't really matter to me, they just asked if I wanted to renew... I don't think so... Computer Gaming World, here I come... :)
