Two Stasis

and three Rewind

I laughed at this more than I should have. Was he trying to be literal?

What was the argument even about? Not to play Devil's advocate, but I've played some games with people who probably would have deserved to get cut. Which, keep in mind, this is me saying this, so you know it's especially heinous :33.

Really wish this went into more detail, I want to know what provoked this.

"Okay. So I'm going to play my Nicol Bola-"
"You mean, may I play my Nicol Bolas?"
"Yeah, playing Nicol Bolas now-"
"Cancel."

I've seen some guy headbut a marine at the one game store I have gone to and give him a bloody nose, and he claimed he blacked out and didn't realise he did it. O_o

The marine didn't kill the guy, thankfully.

I dunno, seems like he'd be used to that. Commandeer on the other hand (I may or may not have stolen a nicol bolas courtesy of me having Confusion in the Ranks and my opponent having Mycosynth Lattice and then used nicol bolas to destroy the lattice >_> :33).

2 pages = 2 posts from RPJesus.

There's a slight update to the article today: missoulian.com/news/local/argument-over-...>missoulian.com/news/local/argument-over-...

But it really doesn't tell us anything. Was he demonstrating Stab Wound

? Guess we'll never know. Alas.

Still on page 1 for me. I don't know why people don't go into their settings and tell the damnable system to load more posts per page. I mean, do people NOT know they can do this?

Thanks, always nice to meet a fan :33.

Indeed, it's always boggled my mind too. Although actually I think the default is 20, so it would seem our friend actually set it to display less posts per page (Though the default may have been 10, I forget, it's been a while since I set it to 40 and never ever ever considered changing it).

Flag Mown • October 2, 2012 11:56 AM PDT

I changed it from 10 to 20.

Flag sage62 • October 2, 2012 12:27 PM PDT

I changed mine to 40 as soon as I learned that was a possibilty. Hate having to change pages.

I'll assume he thought it was Yugioh and played the Seal of Orichalkos or something. This children's card game is SERIOUS BUSINESS!
