In my head, it's "poon" but whenever I go to say it out loud it turns into "own".
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

From a little while ago...
Pete (Husband of Jilli), do you play Magic, and if so, do you have a self-themed deck with Unhinged cards like this one? [link]
Nope, I started playing with Alpha, stopped playing with Fallen Empires, and finally quit collecting around the time of Invasion.
I quit playing CCGs because I was lousy at deck construction and spent an inordinate amount of time deck building only to see them crushed by my opponents. So, not so much fun.

Yes, PWN rhymes with own. That's kind of the point.

Anything for a weird life.
Started at Alpha. Hmm ... I don't suppose you still have any of those cards, do you? :D
What kinds of decks did you make? Silly combo things that just weren't consistent enough to be workable? Or just aggro decks that had the mana curve wrong somehow?
(Sorry, I'm a huge Magic nerd and I like to know things, thus all the questions. Feel free to tell me to settle down if I get irritating.)
Also, Nth-ing "pwn" rhyming with "own", as that's what it came from.

Loved Magic back in the day. Oddly enough, although I never took it very seriously, the fact that I have a complete Revised set still makes me inordinately happy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ok! I've finished my exam (feels good, thank you, I'm very proud), so this weekend, it begins again. Anyone still to check in with me, send an email and we'll get going.

Hurrah! I'm busy all weekend, but I presume we'll just be choosing characters and whatnot, so I'll try to come up with a list. Are we doing a list? Or per turn order this time?

Did you vote? BT asked us our preferences. I can't remember how I voted on that one. I like it both ways. The only thing I really don't like is when IC doesn't reveal destiny.

I did vote, hence my asking about the outcome of the vote.

I like that. It spices things up.

I have received most of the voes, still waiting on one or two. There are some questions where the current tally is quite close; the final votes will be the decider. Once that's all done, I'll send out the game files, and we'll do character selection.
Whether we do character selection in turn order or simultaneously, if you know your character preferences, you can send me your list now. (If we do them in turn order, you can wait to see where you are in turn order and what the earlier players selected.)
