yakusoku Member	posted July 20, 2011 01:46 AM 1. What one piece of advice would you like to share with others to help them be more successful or be happier? 2. What failure in your life have you experienced that you feel is important to have lived through to help you grow? 3. What would you like to do right now that is just outside of your reach because of one thing (money, people, other resources)? 4. Aside from server/forum/site changes, what is one thing that you would like to see changed about MOTL? 5. What is something that you feel that you are better than most other people at doing?
AlmostGrown Member	posted July 20, 2011 05:31 AM quote: Originally posted by joz: What is your hat size? I don't really wear hats, but for my graduation cap (I graduated high school in June), I'm pretty sure my head was something around 12.5 inches. So...take that for what it's worth. quote: Originally posted by yakusoku: 1. What one piece of advice would you like to share with others to help them be more successful or be happier? Just relax and take your time. Think about what you say before you say it - there will always be repercussions down the road. quote: 2. What failure in your life have you experienced that you feel is important to have lived through to help you grow? I failed myself in High School. I passed - barely. It's given me motivation to go to college and try my damnedest to get straight A's. quote: 3. What would you like to do right now that is just outside of your reach because of one thing (money, people, other resources)? I'd really like to go to the upcoming StarCityGames 5k in Pittsburgh and then GP: Pittsburgh the next month, but I don't have a car at the moment, and none of my other friends with a car have the time or the want to drive 5.5 hours out there. quote: 4. Aside from server/forum/site changes, what is one thing that you would like to see changed about MOTL? Add a Tech Help subforum. Please. No more "Why cant I pm??" in GD would be lovely. quote: 5. What is something that you feel that you are better than most other people at doing? Making compromises. __________________ send ref checks, paypal payment or any questions to the email in my profile!

mattw Member	posted July 20, 2011 06:44 AM Do you think that the last post in the questions for Joz's thread is an accurate statement or does it really depend on who is being asked the questions?

AlmostGrown Member	posted July 21, 2011 05:33 AM quote: Originally posted by mattw: Do you think that the last post in the questions for Joz's thread is an accurate statement or does it really depend on who is being asked the questions? I believe there is some merit to Joz's post, but at the same time it's more interesting to some, to interview a long-standing mod, or a pillar of the community. quote: Originally posted by Markers: - For how long have been active in Magic? I started in Onslaught and played til the end of Saviors of Kamigawa, then started again in March 2008 and haven't stopped since. quote: - What change to Magic would you cause to stop playing/collecting? The death of the DCI/all tournaments with prizes. Even then I still wouldn't completely stop playing - I still have all these cards and a lot of people I know who play, and we'd still play, I'd bet. quote: - What other card and/or board games do you play? I played Ascension once with my friend the other week and really liked it, I'm hoping to play that again. Aside from that, my favorites include Candyland, Monopoly, and Stratego. quote: Originally posted by CubFan81: 1) Favorite Magic card? This is a tough choice, but the answer is definetly either Bloodbraid Elf, Blightning, or Goblin Lackey. quote: 2) Favorite Magic color? Black - it can do it all. quote: 3) Favorite Magic deck? Hands down, Jund. quote: 4) Favorite Magic format? Legacy, by far. quote: 5) If you could make or unmake any one change to Magic what would it be and why? I'm not sure. Either unmake Mental Misstep because it's warped Legacy so much (Blue Zoo, really?), or unmake Batterskull (it makes Stoneforge Mystic too good - and for the record I own 6 Stoneforge Mystic and a batterskull and used them both in standard) quote: Bonus: What will you do when you are FullyGrown? [/b] Find a nice lady Lhurgoyf (or some -goyf type) and settle down and raise a family of my own Goyfs. quote: Originally posted by Bugger: 1) what are your top 3 favorite artists/musicians/bands, and why? In no particular order: Taking Back Sunday - I like the sound, there's a lot of vocal harmony in a lot of their songs and the gravitas can change a lot from song to song, which I like blink-182 - I was born in 1993 and grew up listening to them, through all of their changes over the years. I'm really excited for their new album and their tour starting in NJ (near me, relatively speaking) Third Eye Blind - I'll always have a special connection to 3EB because they started getting popular right when I first started playing Magic (around Onslaught) and they were played a lot at the camp I went to where I learned about Magic. quote: 2) what are your top 3 favorite films, and why? Jurassic Park - It's the first movie I ever remember seeing, and I absolutely love it, even to this day. It got me obsessed with dinosaurs for as long as I can remember, although I have grown out of it. Cloverfield - For me it was a Sci-Fi, Horror/Thriller, and Action film all in one, which are my favorite genres. I don't really have a third. quote: 3) what are your top 3 favorite books, and why? Honestly...I haven't read anything in recent years of note :/ quote: 4) what are your top 3 favorite television shows, and why? I don't watch television that much anymore to have any favorites, but I do watch Family Guy, American Dad, and Robot Chicken on occasion. quote: 5) where are you going for college? What are your thoughts on college (ie are you anxious, excited)? I am going to Montgomery County Community College. I am excited to go, because it is my chance to redeem myself for the terrible high school years I spent doing absolutely nothing. That and I'm not going deep into debt for the first two years of college, so that's also exciting. __________________ send ref checks, paypal payment or any questions to the email in my profile!

nderdog Moderator	posted July 21, 2011 12:38 PM How long until you're FullyGrown? Is it surprising that it took this long for someone to ask this? __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here! All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me. Trade them to me, please!

(Watch out for the Pgh comicon next year...) I'd be playing the Legacy portion, and probably be playing little zoo or Eggs. quote: Are we (America) going into a depression? From the looks of things, we're on our way out. but I'm no economics major, so I can't say for certain. quote: Where do you see the future of America's economy and general state heading and what could be done, in your opinion, to better it? I think that it'll eventually make a turn for the better. What can we do? Get the stupid political parties to cut the crap and AGREE. quote: Originally posted by Heresy19: When was your first alcohol beverage? I've never completely finished any alcoholic beverage.

[/b] They are aware that I do not eat lard bricks. quote: Do you enjoy public flatulence? No. quote: Originally posted by urza187: 1) Where do you hide the flag usually in a game of Stratego? Usually in a back corner, surrounded by bombs and a 9. quote: 2) Is AlmostGrown your universal name at other online places? I'm starting to make it that. On other forums I'm known as Brett_S, shotgunpriest, and on Xbox Live I'm EveryoneYouLove. quote: 3) Have any pet peeves? Yes - people bugging me when I'm sleeping/trying to sleep. quote: 4) Do I make you randy? I've never seen a picture of you, so I can't say. quote: Originally posted by stab107: Do you have a favorite memorable trade involving Magic cards that you made in the past? My: 3x Pithing Needle, 1x FTV:E Sensei's Divining Top His: 2x Jace Beleren, SoFaF, SoWaP, 4x Stoneforge Mystic, Maelstrom Pulse quote: MLB, NBA, NFL or NHL? If one or more, which team(s)?

Bugger Member	posted July 21, 2011 06:39 PM quote: Originally posted by AlmostGrown: I definetly want to meet Bugger, and I never want to meet wakeupwithastory. I was flattered, then I laughed! (I flaughed?) You don't think it'd be fun to meet WUWAS in a 'scientist examining an exotic, poisonous insect' sort of way? I think it'd be interesting/amusing as hell. Just keep far away. Are you familiar with the band TV On The Radio? I ask because they are performing sept. 9th at the Mann in Philly and of my two friends who are also fans of them, one is already attending a concert of a pretentious indie electronic band and the other can't go out at all due to a big xc meet the next day. Meeting a MOTLer while also seeing one of my very favorite bands live (and from what I hear, they are outstanding live, almost as good as Muse is) would be awesome. __________________ "I never got any respect at all.

AlmostGrown Member	posted July 22, 2011 05:32 AM quote: Originally posted by JoshSherman: Please expand on your comment that black can do it all. You are not allowed to cite an artifact. To me, black shares the most ideals with me. Greatness, at any cost (I'm fairly sure this was flavor text on a card at some point). It also is the most rounded of all the colors. It has excellent Card Draw (Yawg Barg, Necro), good removal (Snuff Out, Doom Blade, Vendetta, Tendrils of Corruption), mass removal (Damnation, Plague Wind), the best disruption (Duress, Thoughtseize, Hymn to Tourach), and good creatures (Dark Confidant). quote: Originally posted by Bugger: I was flattered, then I laughed!

Naw, after a while I feel as if it would get old. People like him start to repeat themselves after a while, and hearing how we're all sheep and slaves to the rich or whatever only generates laughs for so long, ya know? quote: Are you familiar with the band TV On The Radio? Vaguely, never listened to them before. quote: I ask because they are performing sept. 9th at the Mann in Philly and of my two friends who are also fans of them, one is already attending a concert of a pretentious indie electronic band and the other can't go out at all due to a big xc meet the next day. Meeting a MOTLer while also seeing one of my very favorite bands live (and from what I hear, they are outstanding live, almost as good as Muse is) would be awesome. I'll check out their music on YouTube, but if they're anything like muse, chances are I'll probably like them too. __________________ send ref checks, paypal payment or any questions to the email in my profile!
