Okay, y'all remember Shawn "the Discriminator" Jackson? No? He's the one who rated Ransac's aritcle as one of the 10 worst online. Now you remember? Right, stop growling. His new list came out, you see. Some highlights from the new top 10 list (http://www.ccgprime.com:/mtg/10/12212000.htm)

6. Russell Sherman – Rare Earths: The World According to Zadok
Score: 77%

Nail. Head.

Russell and David stumble upon something that is completely true, and is overlooked. They discuss extended, and what cards need to be banned, if anything. In the process, however, they find something profound; the real combo. If I ever do a rant on changing extended, this will be the first article I’ll quote.

10. Various – HAVE YOU SEEN THIS YET!
Score: 70%

Don’t f**k with the CPA. This is a response to the last two lists, and it’s a good read. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to add anything to this discussion, because the thread has been closed. Things to notice: the strength of the venom spewed, the free speech hypocrisy, the nervous breakdown of an editor.

well, we got publicity, I'll grant us that much

Like I tried to say earlier, he seems like a decent guy. Oh, and my article's up there. Yeehaw?

Anyways, thought you should see that. Apparently, he is expressing his opinion, and only that (50% intangibles) so his breakdown of Ransac's article is based solely on his opinion, which he has a right to, right?

Just thought you guys should see this.

You'll have to admit. The guy's reparte' is amusing. I love the way that thread came about actually, despite remaining decidedly neutral on the matter myself.

The extended article was one of the most enjoyable I've read, not because of the content, but because of the conversational manner in which it was written.

Ah, the only reason that there was no bottom 10 that week was because I didn't write an article he could mutilate.

Seriously, we rule when we get pissed off. Everybody reads those threads.




Ransac, cpa trash man

Yeah, I'd say 'nervous breakdown' accurately describes it.

Oh well. I'm all better now. You can take the white jacket off now. Mommy, I want to go home...

I really thought your article was well done, Ura. I know you probably don't want to hear praise about it; it's probably a pretty emotional subject. FYI, this got one of the highest Intagable scores that I've done in my short 5 week stint.

I don't mind the praise, I thank you for it actually. It feels good to know that people appreciate the work I tried to do and better to know that they understood what I was trying to say. It is an emotional subject, but many things are in life and this is just another page in the book or card in the deck so to speak. Hopefully people can learn from what I've learned so they're better prepared for whatever they run into in life.
