I think he's done a lot for this site too - he's been pretty much the only consistent article contributor until he went to PlayorDraw... no one has really taken up the slack who said they would.

Why write an article when its already been said and done? I simply have things to emphesize, but they're all on old topics that are already covered over with a fine layer of dust.

But thanks for keeping me outta the spotlight SF.

Well... I've got three articles stewing in my mind... they just havn't decided to start forming their initial paragraphs in my head, which is the point at which I'm confortable with letting them out onto the world.

I've still got the Preconstructeds Rant for the 8th Edition Theme Deck Failures, and a 'how to teach' article, and a more general casual article... though the latter I'm quite unsure of, because it'd simply be a rewright of an earlier article.

SeFRo, are we thinking of the same guy? The SeFRo I know blows all his money on expensive booze and cheap women!

J/K, he's quite the character, and the CPA was lucky to had his articles.

Um...thanks everyone. :D

mythosx: You're very welcome. But keep the cheers and pass the beers. It'll keep the others happier that way. ;)

I think he's calling you out.

Svenmonkey: Yes, I think this is a trap of some sort, too.... :eek:

Spiderman: Hearing that from our de facto Capo makes me feel like such a welcomed part to this family. For sure, I will put horse heads in the beds of your enemies, Capo Spidey.

As for stopping the stuff here with PoD, I still submit stuff here. In fact, since I've first submitted to PoD, I have still submitted more things to the CPA. Maybe something around a 2:1 ratio, I would think. Right now's just a super busy time for me.

Nightstalkers: If we never repeated stuff we just heard, then what would our world do? Oh yeah, shut the hell up. Because we'd have nothing "new" to talk about, buddy. ;)

orgg: Can we please see these articles soon? I'd enjoy the chance to read them when they finally get posted. :D

Reverend Love: Hey lady, I'm still alive here, so don't go talking about me in the past-tense. ;) And the Sefro you and I know are a lot different Sefros. The one I know comes from a different universe and makes pies out of annoying customers. Mmm, tip stiffer topping on your Meatzzza Pizza, anyone?



I wanna say: Just keep on writing the good write, that's all.

I know, it's just I would have liked to see people submit exclusively here (like you and Isty. HOUTS doesn't really post in the forums...)

And horse heads? Spare the horses! Put something like... umm, land cards in their beds!

If I post an article at least once a month, for me, that would be a great way to contribute. This last one I posted was a doozy of a game and even though there were no real replies, I'll still keep plugging away because I don't think there really is a place I'll ever reach called Tourneyland.

Maybe.

HELL, Make it a SWING version.

Hit it DUKE!

People tend not to reply to stuff. Look at the huge volume of things I've submitted. Very few of them actually get replies. Fewer still get those reply chains you see at the top of the site. Nothing out of the ordinary to not get any feedback. People are still reading it.

Even when I had a few thousand readers when I worked for a newspaper, very few of my articles would ever get direct replies. Sadly, they were usually complaints. "You wrote about my boyfriend doing the driveby shooting! But he's innocent!" "Oh, we didn't like the way you did the coverage on the parade! You should have been there for the WHOLE HOUR on a busy Monday!" blah blah blah

Positive or Negative replies is still publicity. My GASP article last month got one reply and I was happy. Of course it was to point if my wife was 16 years old or I was married 16 yrs. But heck, it was still a reply. :D

ONE of these days... I'm still computer-less. :(
Yeah, I know it's been going on two years now (at least) but I swear it, you ain't seen the last of me....

But yeah, kudos to SeFRo, the hardest working man in CPA show business! :cool:

How did you go from writing newspaper articles to delivering pizza's??????

Being a newspaper reporter is nothing glamorous, let me tell you! In fact, I've told my boss at the pizza place that I enjoy being a driver many, many times more than being a reporter.

The basis for this conclusion of mine is relative to this editorial article at CustomersSuck.com
http://customerssuck.com/cs/?m=show&id=168

One of the lines fits the environment perfectly:
"Take it from someone who's seen the higher side of life, only to realize he left it to sit in a damned cubicle (a.k.a. jail cell without bars) while people around him stabbed each other in the back with their imaginary daggers."

I'd much rather work fast food than ever return to a newsroom. And, as long as the day isn't full of stiffers, I make as much money as I did back at the newspaper. On good days I make more than I did at the newspaper.

Though I've had a pizza poker pointed at me with threats of death at the pizza place, I am still me and can feel like I'm me at the end of the day, regreting nothing about my actions. At the newspaper, I had pressure to write what was virtually propaganda just so the publisher and his rich friends would be pleased. It was so cut-throat and unfair, and I was a mere tool in it all, which made me regret nearly everything I did back then.
