Can't spell dude without dud, that's why I don't talk to them.

I have only started playing MTG recently with my soon-to-be stepbrother. In the future, I might go to FNM, but the prospect makes me quite nervous. Number one, I am quite young compared to most players at the specific gamestore. (By the time I start in FNM, I will be a 15 year old female) Also, playing WoW, I get a lot of flack for being female, no matter my skill. Is Magic like this? I will probably be going with my soon-to-be stepbrother (who is 18) Number two is probably the biggest problem, being that I am extremely socially awkward. Trying to start a conversation with strangers is extremely difficult for me. (My soon-to-be stepbrother is this way too, which is why we have become really great friends). Anyway, I guess the question is how do you get over this awkwardness when going to your first FNM?

Edit: FTM to FNM


I just went to my first FNM not too long ago and honestly I saw guys and girls from ages 12 to 50 so there's nothing to be nervous about.  Though, I did feel slightly out of place at first I guess because I don't look like the 'typical' MTG player, at least not at Armada games, but everyone was super friendly and after a short time my fiance and I felt very welcomed.

It depends on if your hot or not. Not trying to be a pig but at my FNM if your a girl no prob but if you hapen to be hot then you get more attention and a few more crud remarks but usually its not very bad and besides its about having fun so have fun!

Fifteen is a perfectly reasonable age for a Magic player – I'm 16 myself, and I was 13 when I was introduced to the game. Just keep your cool and you should be fine.

Think of how Neo couldn't beat the robots, but they kept him around anyways to defeat Agent Smith. Sure, the robots might not like having a Neo running rampant because instead of playing their favorite 4 drop fatty robot, they have to play a bunch of one mana Matrixs to contain him, but at least Neo keeps Agent Smith from reanimating an Iona on turn two.

I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.

I mean, In KevinWorld, Mark is reading the very words I'm typing as well. Heck, in KevinWorld maybe I am Mark.

[In response to a thread about how hard grading is]

Upon reading this, I've found myself completely unable to operate in the world.  I tried to decide what to eat for breakfast, and pondered the vast consequences of my choice.  How do I balance my dietary needs against my desire to eat good-tasting food? Should I factor in how long it takes to prepare?  Cereal is ready in moments, but bacon takes longer to cook.

Then there is the impact on other industries.  Do people in the cereal industry deserve to be employed more than people in the bacon industry?  Which industry should I support? I don't even have the data regarding HOW MUCH the cereal industry benefits from me eating a bowl of cereal, or how much the bacon industry benefits from me eating a side of bacon.  How can I compare two qualities I can't even quantify?

And let's not forget the milk on the cereal.  In addition to determining whether or not milk is healthy for me, how much that benefits the milk industry, and how much the people in the milk industry deserve my support, we have to factor in the fact that cows are put under brutal conditions in order to collect thier milk.  Of course, the same goes for the pigs, and then they get killed.  Of course, I really like bacon.  So I need to come up with a scale that compares the value of cow happiness to pig happiness to my happiness.  What trade-offs am I willing to make here?  Does the fact that the pig gets put out of its misery count as a plus or a minus?  Isn't bacon bad for me anyway?

Deciding what to eat for breakfast (or any meal) is impossible.  Help me!

Anyway, you'd be surprised about Time Stop. When I first saw that card as a relatively new player I didn't see its full potential until I read the reminder text. Is it that unintuitive, though? Mine I mean. What is possibility? Is it possible for me to type these words with my tusks? No, because I don't have tusks. Although I am now tempted to go buy some - obviously not from poachers or whatever - and use them as typing apparatus. I could be the best secretary ever. "What's your words per minute sir?" "Well, only six, but I use these tusks to type them." "You're hired!" That was the interview. And is anyone else disappointed that "apparati" is not the plural form of apparatus? I just could strangle a dictionary, because "apparatuses" is a real word. I guess it sounds pretty cool. I'll call them my Apparatusks.

That's funny. I'd say a good number of MMO players are reverse traps because they don't like guys asking for pixplzthx. In fact, it's more common than men RPing as women. So it's a lot like Ready Player One. Oddly, this is the only part of nerd culture Ready Player One gets right.
