Seriously when your pants are hanging at half staff like these guys I'm inclined to think a rapper just died or something.

I was hoping JCMD would be posting that they should just turn the other cheek.

I don't care what hobbies people do, but when you are at a venue and it's essentially a public affair (I'm sure people notice 4300 people clumped up in a convention center) dress in such a way you promote a healthy image for the magic community. I've been trying for 12 years to make magic seem like it's not just a game people play in their parents basement but I feel like images such as these destroy all I've tried to accomplish.

We have an official statement on the Richmond buttcrack debacle:

"Following the event, players reached out to us, expressing their frustration and dismay over the division of the community and how Magic players were being treated and portrayed."

I think it's reasonable to make a stand against this type of behavior. If you want to be funny and possibly hurt peoples' feelings, then accept the consequences and go do it somewhere else.

Ok, enough of this over exaggerating. In the first place How could this possibly be constituted as bullying? There was no actual confrontation, no identification. If anything, it may have been embarrassing but again no one is named and no faces are shown. If any of the individuals photographed has an issue then they need to invest in a pair of big boy pants (excuse the pun).

It's the same length as 8sides got for the GP Indy debacle, so I'm fine with it. DBAD should always be in effect at Magic tournaments.

People seem to believe that event attendees need to make a better effort to look presentable,

or we believe that this person was wrong for posting pictures of other peoples' appearances at the event.

I think both are true. It's difficult to put myself in the shoes of a heavier person. I don't know how their clothes act in a folding chair.

Either way, I think we've beaten this dead horse enough.

As an aside, I want to know what people think is going to happen in the future with pricey Modern staples. We have cards that are not ever going to be reprinted in standard, like Karn Liberated and Liliana of the Veil, pushing very high dollar amounts.

Modern Masters did almost nothing to push the value of staples down. Is there ANY way these cards would be brought down in price? I'm trying to think of a way Wizards could print them en-masse but I can't (unless MM2 has like, triple the print run), and I want to trade for Modern before my standard staples are pushing rotation, but I don't want to get burned.

Gerald Freas (@dr8sides) was suspended for tweeting pics with captions making fun of players at GP Indianapolis.

A case has been opened. I'm sure this "mistake" will likely result in a refund and me leaving a neg, considering the card has doubled in price since I placed the order.

Did the photos of the huge guy in gray sweatpants ever come out? Literally crapped his pants and played the entire day with crap all over the outside of his pants. I believe it was GP Toronto. It was wretched.

The reason this is a problem is because it might scare people from coming to future tournaments if the threat of this type of behavior is lingering. That is the lats thing WoTC wants.

I definitely agree that wizards should do something about it, but 18 months doesn't seem to fit the "crime"
