So now you're happy with them? But Ed said you're boycotting them! I'm all confused... ;)

Welcome! And don't worry, a visit here and there is okay.

Griffith_se: Takes a while, doesn't it? I was lucky there were maybe 1000 total posts on the boards when I did it so it didn't take up too much time :) theorgg: Really? I never got that impression; if he felt "bitter" I think he would have left way before... like in July 1999. I just think...

I didn't check theorgg's link so it might have all you need. If not, Dave Barry is a weekly column and is found at least in the Sunday editions of the Baltimore Sun (Home and Family) and Washington Post (Wash World? Post World? Book World?) You can probably go to their websites...

I like Poison! Except for (I think) the last album where the guitarist CC left. It just doesn't sound the same. And individual songs by Def Leppard. Love Petty.

In case the old threads aren't there from the move/conversion, I believe the Founders are unhappy with NewWave/Doust because he offered to host the CPA site and fell through on the "promise" (you guys never answered the question directly). I've also only bought from Card Kingdom and was happy...

Unless he dropped his first name recently, I thought it was Orson Scott Card. He writes science fiction.

Are the Jem'Hader similiar to Jabba (or the Hutt family)? Because I never thought Jabba could beat anyone in Star Wars, let alone Star Trek. He's the mastermind; he has other people do his dirty work for him. At least that was my impression of him. Don't know what the books say about him though.

I think Tolaria's an island. But I have no idea where Ertai is from.

Well, again, the article (actually a sidebar) says "You need the ball bearings of a Brass Man to do this one - it isn't easy as you might think. You can't just say, "It's a good card; let's keep it." You really need to justify your answers, and that's where it gets down to business. It's also...

I'm, uh, holding my applause... ;)

Umm... I hope you'll understand if I still keep my opinion that they are NOT replacement effects until you can come up with some written ruling somewhere since I have looked at the 6th rules and have seen NOTHING that says they are replacement effects (and we all know that judges get rulings...

If you're interested in becoming a playtester for WOTC (and I assume Magic since it doesn't specify), pg. 17 in the latest Top Deck on the Magic side has info. Basically contact Mons Johnson at playtest@wizards.com. It doesn't say if they REALLY need people so don't expect a lot but hey, maybe...

I guess Serra Angel, but I haven't seen any recent cards so I don't know if there's better (like Avenging Angel). Although I like the cover of the Unglued Duelist's Serra Angel better. I wonder if one of the women will start a "Gratuitious Hunk Art" thread... :)

For me, I thought the 5 ACC spells in Alliances really changed the way Magic was played. Obviously Force of Will, but the rest of them too (although I didn't play with the green one alot). You just could never be sure what your opponent had up his sleeve even if he/she was tapped out (or vice...

Planeswalker: Can you specically cite some ruling or text? Because as far as I know, replacement effects use the word "instead" and the perpetual enchantments don't. All of my card texts come from http://www.crystalkeep.com and have been updated 6/22/00. As you can see, only Serra Avatar has...

Well, it's only been a day so still feel free to voice your opinion :) But it does sound like the CPA will continue to do the polls and send them in. I just wanted to know if Mr. Adkinson's remarks concerning this topic would cause the CPA to change their stance on it and it sounds like they...

No, I don't think he said that. What he said was that WOTC sets up their OWN polls and consumer surveys (like the ones in the Duelist); they determine the criteria and questions. It seems they just don't accept those "unsolicited" from the public at large.

I agree that "the collection of people here care about the game and its direction" but let's face it, it appears that it's not really going to matter to WOTC and that expectation is what needs to be "nipped in the bud". They are aware of this and other sites, true, but it appears that WOTC do...

Well, I meant this thread in terms of the expectations of the CPA in using the results of polls to influence WOTC. Since it appears that such results would be not be considered by them, does the CPA simply become a haven where casual players can talk and post their decks? Essentially what it's...
