[indent] Welcome to the YMtC Introductions and Listings thread. This thread's intended purpose, as outlined by this thread's original creator, was to provide a sort of bulletin board where contest holders and other YMtC members could look up their fellow forumites and get information on their background, experience, and anticipated leaves of absence. While it's arguable whether or not this thread has achieved this, it still provides the basic service of letting you get to know better the various personalities who inhabit these parts.
Newcomers, feel free to post a profile for yourself to have it added to the list. There's no set structure, so tell us as much or as little as you want. More importantly, welcome to YMtC![/indent] |YMtC Listings|

I am Meteorain, also a Johnny. I've gotten into Magic only recently, around the time Ravnica was first released. I'm 15 and am easily bored, leading me to these boards (My fascist parents don't let me play Xbox/watch TV/Go on the computer/go to a friend's house during the weekdays, though I sneak some computer time in almost every day). I also get on the boards every day. Well, I haven't won a contest yet, and while I generally have good card ideas, I have horrible templating skills and some balance issues. I'm also a very casual player, mostly because we have no tournaments in my area.

I'm Razorborne. I'm pretty much a Timmy/Johnny. I really have no hint of Spike in me. I'm pretty much the coolest person on these boards. I run a series of incredibly original contests. there's really not much else to say. I make plenty of complex cards, but I've been somewhat drifting toward elegance. (or at least I'm trying to) oh, and this is my smilie:  touch it and my army of zombie meercassassin slaves will destroy you. PS: I forgot to mention: I loathe bad formatting. and obvious templating flaws. PPS: I've won a bunches of things. I'd list them here, but it'd take a bunch of space and, more importantly, a better memory. PPPS: I am the almighty keeper of the Cookie of Razors. as of yet, only three souls have risen to the challenge and claimed it. could you be next? prolaby not. PPPPS: capitalization is for chumps. PPPPPS: I format my cards as such: Name-cost Type Abilities P/T Flavor textif you don't like it, deal with it. PPPPPPS: I'm currently working on a set. no, really. it's called Armada. and it will be finished eventually.

Hello there, I'm The_Hutt, though I once inhabited these boards under the alias dragonmage65. You'll see me hanging around this forum and on the MTGO forums. I'm a Timmy/Johnny at heart, with a pinch of Spike, but have never played a real tournament beyond the two online drafts and two leagues I've done. I am currently on hiatus from actually playing/buying cards, but I still enjoy creating cards for the fun of it. I used to participate in many contests, but I cut back my usage a bit and currently am engaged in about three. I also run my own contest: YMtC Blitz! You can find the latest edition on the forum page.
I am currently in high school, though I do take some college classes. I am extremely intelligent, but unfortunately genius is not appreciated in today's enviroment of GPA's, testing, and standards. I hope to earn a degree in politcal science in the near future.
I am capable of producing top-notch cards, but fall short of being a great designer in terms of my consistency. I am usually an excellent templater, and I wince at cards with obvious grammar/spelling/structural problems.
If you ever need help with a card, don't hesitate to ask!

I'm DDR Fr33k. The test says I'm a Johnny, but I know I've got Timmy in me somewhere. I'm currently working on an Anime themed Magic set, found here. I like regular input, and am more than willing to help, where and when my knowledge is useful.

I'm mstieler. I've got a bit of all the player archetypes in me, though Spike only comes out in tournament play (and for good reason). Though I haven't won a contest yet, I am getting closer. I've been here on the boards for just under a year (in March), and playing Magic since 4th Edition.
I am a formatting type person. I've gone through quite a few new posters (when I'm the first to get to the cards) to show how a card they made looks when formatted. Proper formatting is just good board etiquette. Spelling and grammar help a lot, as well. And Gathere is there for you to use, so unless you come up with something completely original, you can see proper templating of the ability you just made somewhere out there.
Sorry. Off on a rant.
I hope to start judging more contests soon, as I'm currently judging razorborne's Slightly Less Original Contest.

I'm Tuba1060. I'm a Johnny/Spike, more Johnny in play, more Spike in design (at least I think). I'm relatively new to these boards, but I feel like I've got decent ideas. I'm normally on in the mornings (EST) on weekdays, since I prefer being on these boards than doing actual work, and less frequently on weekends and nights. I'm slowly starting to judge, but am mostly just a contest participant for now. I've been playing since around the start of Revised, although I took a hiatus from Urza's Block through Mirrodin.
And like apparantly everyone else here, I like good templating, formatting, and spelling, slightly less concerned about grammer, as long as it's understandable still.
And Tranz, this is a great idea, for the record.

Reag, here, a usually quiet Vorthos/Johnny. While my card ideas have the bad habit of being rather complex, I do have some good ideas up my sleeves every once in a while. I'm here just about every day when theatre doesn't interfere, and sometimes when it does. I have rapidly discovered that I simply don't have the memory or dedication required to run a contest, alas, but I participate in many. As you can see by my sig, I come in second for quite a few things, and my numbers are growing. I'm currently working on the Huumalia set for those of you who are interesting in giving feedback/support/suggestions. So far the only thing finalized about it is the storyline...yeah, I'm a Vorthos alright.

I'm mtalmuzicfan, not necessarily new and am one of the more-known entities in YMtC. I'm a bit of a Timmy/Spike with a dash of Johnny and Vorthos and am currently the best MtG player in East Texas. I'm also one of the writers in WotC's online magazine Knowledge Arcana.
I have made numerous attempts at making cards and while some of them have gone unnoticed, the ones that do catch everyone's eyes always seem to have a permament place in what I like to call "classic mtal" cards :D. In addition to making cards, I have won quite a few contests and have hosted an amazing four runs of Mtal's Heavy Hitting Duels.
Speaking of judges I have been nominated two years in a row for best judge in the 2005 and 2006 editions of the annual YMtC Championship, but have yet to win one of these. I also have the distinction of never succesfully qualifying for YMtC Idol.

Yodavader here. I'm generally a Johnny. A little bit of Spike and Timmy when I want to be but not all too often. I've been on the boards since March of 2006. My card creating skills aren't the greatest in the world (as you can see in my ego sig) but I do enjoy creating cards. I've been playing since Invasion and learned from a Johnny hence why I am a Johnny. Left the game about 3 times. The first two times, got rid of all my cards (stupid move) and the last time leaving right before Kamigawa block. Kept all my cards and returned when Ravnica came back in. I split my time between YMtC and MPFG forums. If you haven't been to MPFG, you should go. It's all the rage. Other than those two, I dabble in Magic General and some of the other forums but mostly, I stay within YMtC and MFPG. And if you haven't noticed, I do like to be invisible. You can't see me. I ran a contest on YMtC that's called You Make the Creature: Draft. I am currently in YMtCreature: Draft Season 2. If you would like to join, feel free. The only stipulation is that you can't be a winner of the current season. If you were a winner in the last season, you are free to join. Also, it's not on a constant schedule. If I feel that I have time to run it without too much stall time on my end, then I run it. MUP Count 1: GollumSkywalker
