We are a new online MTG league that uses a new Magic Online-like client. We are encouraging people that have not yet tried out a free online Magic league to visit our website at www.o-gaming.com or email me at pr@o-gaming.com for more information. We use IRC and Magic Workstation (all info on our site). Thanks for the read.

To quote Crazy Eyes from the movie Mr. Deeds:

"I don't like 'im."

...something seems fishy...

It sounds like a good idea, but until MTGO becomes stable I'm leery about starting a regular game, let alone a league game that would require buying additional product or tickets...

If he really were a new member. I'm guessing he signed up just to leave that message and probably did on other boards as well.

If there was any request for money on it, though I would have deleted it and stopped his account...

Obviously you all think this is a scheme for money. There is absolutely no money involved in this league, we are purely 0 profit, and I do follow up on my posts =). I would be glad to have any of you check out our website and our irc channel (which is listed on the site) you could even use our java IRC client on the site to contact us in our channel. We are just working to build up a heavier user base to provide better prizes and bigger tournaments. The only time ANYTHING says anything about money is an optional (I mean this in the strictest of the word) registration of the client we use to play. You can get downloads of pictures for the client absolutely free and use the client absolutely free, our league never asks for money nor do we accept any. Feel free to contact me at any time and I will be glad to respond as soon as I can. Thanks for the read yet again.

I would also like to add that 90% of our userbase DOES NOT register the client we use, nor do we ever suggest for them to. I personally suggest leaving it as is, the registered version is a waste. =)

I... was... right?!...

"So hell finally froze over huh?!...":p

Looked into it, and it's okay... reminiscent of apprentice...

"for the hour I played apprentice..."

Guys, I have Magic Workstation. It is amazing. Imagine apprentice with a better background and 24-hour connection to an avaliable list of avaliable players. Now imagine the artwork on every card. Image a smooth game for sure. Best of all, image it for free. You get the entire inventory of all cards, just like Apprentice. You can download zipped files for your sets - that's what I did anyway - for the pictures. The only difference between it and Magic Online is that players need to know the rules in Workstation, just like in Apprentice. But I've played more than 40 or so games in the past 2 months - there weren't many rules problem. I believe 3 or 4.

Magic Online is really for...people who like wasting money.

Magic Workstation is for people who want to play...maybe for fun. You get all cards, so you can really test your skills against someone else.

I would like to add that the new version of Magic Workstation also allows us to run a program called MWSHost which allows firewalled users to connect via a third party and play there. It eliminates the need for "flipping" or some other random decision on a match. Our staff runs 2 24/7 MWSHost servers and are open to the public for play at any time from anywhere. I urge you to check us out =). Thanks again for the read!!

So is the game appearing on say... 3 computers - each user's, and then the host's?...

The game does NOT appear for the 3rd party in the same way as the 2 players. The person using MWSHost Do Not see a thing of the actual game. All they see is a name of a game, they have no possible way to view it.

Actually, Ret0x, I never thought this was a scheme for money. I merely suggested that you weren't really a "new user" here at the CPA, but simply sending out "spam" (okay, call it "advertising :D) to let us know of your stuff. I suppose that's fine, but it might have been just as well to contact one of the founders (Spiderman) and have them tell everyone about it.

Don't get me wrong, I really don't mind you coming here and letting people know about this. I was just commenting that i didn't think you were a "new member" of the CPA, but rather someone "passing through".

If this new application is better than apprentice and catches on, great. In fact, that would probably be a really good thing, especially if there were card images. Of course, this begs the question of whether or not there was any care to avoid copywrite issues. I would hate to see something like this shut down because of legal issues.

The copyright issues are already handled. And, to be honest, I did pass through this forum fairly quickly with the intention of coming back only if I got replies. I got replies and this is definitely one of the best forums so far, if CPA would like to perhaps interview our President or one of our VPs we would have no problem with further exposure. Obviously, it is my job to get more people in our userbase =).

I'd be up for doing an email interview... that would be something neat - especially since it's free and seems geared towards online casual...

"Any takers... hey... why are you all blocking my email address?!!!...":p
