Why did/do you play Magic?

What is your favorite format?

Why?

Do you think that the arbitrary bias of the singular disassociated deviant is inherently disproportional to the directive of the mass society as a non-bipolar entity conforming to a standardized homogeneous of enumerate variables?

Do you like big words?

Are we (America) going into a depression?

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?

Only the best,

Why did/do you play Magic?

What is your favorite format?

Limited -Drafts

Why?
More skill than who's got the money to buy the "best deck"

Do you think that the arbitrary bias of the singular disassociated deviant is inherently disproportional to the directive of the mass society as a non-bipolar entity conforming to a standardized homogeneous of enumerate variables?

Yes

Do you like big words?
only if they have big effects.

(why are you banned?)

@ogre
Favorite food?
Budaejigae (korean army stew)

Ten favorite movies?
Lord of the rings 2
The Mummy
The departed 1 (chinese version)
Saint of gamblers
how to lose a guy in 10 days
Iron man
gone with the wind
Pyaar Impossible
Final destination
Inglorious basterds


When did you get into Magic cards and who/how did you get involved?

I got into it when unlimited was phasing out. My classmates got me into magic because it was "hip" at that time. I still remember trading underground sea for an fire elemental (not because of the boobies -_-)

Are we (America) going into a depression?
yes. But to get out of it as individuals we just gotta try harder and improve ourselves...

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 see manufacturing jobs disappearing via automation and/or cheaper labors. As a manager it doesn't "make sense" to spend so much more money on one american to do something when you can use that money on several others who can do the same job just as well. I don't like this reality either but it is going to happen. Best remedy would be to improve oneself and become more indispensable than others via degrees, certifications whatever applicable to job.


@LA3
1. Have you won any magic tournaments
yes. drafts, and couple of prereleases - always ends up offering to split...

2. Do you watch TV? Favorite Shows? Genre?
yes. Shows I will be looking forward (or already watching)
colbert report, suits, 2.5 men, bones, castle, house, american got talent and patriots games. Most of the shows i just skim through except suits and 2.5 men. With school starting i just wont have the time to watch them... any genre is fair game really..


@yakusoku
1. What one piece of advice would you like to share with others to help them be more successful or be happier?

Advice for teens before going to college or already in college:
study hard, get good grades - believe it or not the GPA will haunt you forever when you want new jobs or apply for grad programs. Law school is GPA/testing *****. MBA too

Also, the quality of school (ranking) is VERY IMPORTANT. I had a friend who got a full ride to a very less known school and he is still unemployed after 2 years... You have to think of the long term financial gain as opposed to any financial incentive you might get when going into school. If you get full ride to a community college OR you got into a top 30 school but gotta pay insane tuition (50k/yr total now?) then DO IT. I don't care what you do - take loans, join ROTC, whatever you can to get into the best school you can get into because companies recognize school names and the school name does stick with you for quite a while especially when you decide to do advance education. If the two schools are couple of ranks apart and both very recognizable then yea go for the one with money.

I know a lot of people counter with "well so and so got this job with degree from this inferior school" - well yeah and so did some others who got great jobs without education... but the chances of that happening is very slim..

people working:
Well i guess try to improve yourself when possible either via degrees/certifications etc. Also if sick of job you can always switch careers (thats what i am doing )

2. What failure in your life have you experienced that you feel is important to have lived through to help you grow?

I am not sure... there are certainly failures but i certainly wouldnt wanted to have lived through them - the benefit is much greater if i didnt fail

3. What would you like to do right now that is just outside of your reach because of one thing (money, people, other resources)?

Pay off my student loans (lol?)....

4. Aside from server/forum/site changes, what is one thing that you would like to see changed about MOTL?

What could there be if no server/forum/site changes? The people are mostly nice so keep that up? Also dont ban annoying people - they are funny to read

5. What is something that you feel that you are better than most other people at doing?

Endure. I can endure a lot of crap (got it from my mom)..... Some people might take advantage of my good nature but i do keep a tab .

@cubfan81

1) Favorite Magic card?
Summer serra angel


2) Favorite Magic color?
white
3) Favorite Magic deck?
angels

4) Favorite Magic format?
limited
5) If you could make or unmake any one change to Magic what would it be? Why?

I would make a mat that can generate the cards as real 3d models. It would be super awesome playing on that mat and see the creatures battle it out. Probably possible in 10 years?

@joshsherman

Well originally i wanted to make it sound cantonese like "shasenai"? which means kill you. But somehow i used l instead so it became this. I guess to pronounce it it is like " sha say lay"?

That mat would be pretty sweet. Are there any other particular Indian language movies you like? I actually didn't care too much for Pyaar Impossible but it was far from the worst my wife and I have seen recently.

If you haven't already seen them you should check out "Jab we Met" and "Jodhaa Akbar". Also, if you're into non-musical types "Delhi 6" was pretty good and "Rang De Basanti" was really good.
