1) Favorite Magic card?
2) Favorite Magic color?
3) Favorite Magic deck?
4) Favorite Magic format?
5) If you could make or unmake any one change to Magic what would it be? Why?

Bonus that I thought of and am bummed I can't retroactively ask others: When people are asked "if they had a time machine" type questions, which event do you think gets changed the most often and which event do you think would be a more interesting one?

1- tie between Thing from the Deep and Hand of Justice
2- White
3- Anything involving tokens and counters.
4- Chaos multiplayer
5- Have the reserve list revert back to the foil exception. I can see why they don;t want to mass produce the cards, but I want foil duals.

Bonus- Here: Buy all the alpha boxes or something? I'd buy google stock.

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?

To clarify, it doesn't necessarily need to be Magic related.

1 - Finish university when you have the chance. You'll regret not getting it done earlier.

2 - Not finishing university because I was too busy playing Magic.

3 - Buy a 2001 Audi A8. Hopefully I can sell most of my extra cards and make that possible.

4 - It's good the way it is.

5 - Being friendly to strangers, even when they **** you off.

My parents were tired of the violence (I was almost killed by gunfire twice), and Canada is a nice and calm country.

Yes! Down to 91kg from a high of 103kg!

Well, there was this time that three big German gay men were having an orgy on the other side of the wall I was working on, and there was a painting on the wall that nearly fell on the computer from the headboard banging on the wall...

Or when a nice lady asked me if my name was Vader...

Perhaps when I client walked into the store raging at me because of my uselessness and incompetence because I didn't go arrive at the job... Which was booked for the same day the following week...

There are many, but these are the ones that come to mind in the morning.

- Imperial Painter

- Beef Strogonoff, the Brazilian Variety

- 4.5 years

- Politician. So easy.

- Yeah, you're cool.

- No, I don;t swing that way, sweetie.

- When I was 6

- Yep, in 2008. It's worse than when I left. Not planning on going back anytime soon.

Hey, sorry if some of these have been asked already; out of town, saw this, figured would like to read later. Anyways:

How did you hear about MOTL?

Ten favorite movies?

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

Edit note: Realize you're from Canada, but from your perspective on the US or Canadian economy, what's your take on the next two questions? This isn't actually a question, but guess you figured that out!

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,
Jesse

Is it true that the most beautiful women on Earth come from Brazil?

Have you seen the movie City of God? If so, did you think it accurately portrayed the problems of Brazil?

What's your education?

Do you have any children yet?

Have you ever met anyone from MOTL?

What is your creative outlet?

How come you never post in the Computer help thread?

- Someone told me about a price list they saw online that listed Underground Sea at $20, when everyone in Brazil was shipping them @ $5... It went from there.

- In no particular order: GoldenEye, Ronin, There's Something About Mary, The Thomas Crown Affair, The Whole Nine Yards, Scary Movie, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Tropa de Elite 1 and 2, The Matrix Reloaded, RED.

- 2001, friends at school.

- Going? You guys are completely screwed. 8 years of an unwinnable war plus a president that can't do anything because he doesn't control the House? You guys are hooped.

- Down, and a change of national mentality. Pull the troops home, fortify your defenses against attacks, invest in counterintelligence while reducing investment in China, switching the focus instead to rebuilding industry in the US. Easy.

Stanley Park Seawall, Cypress Mountain or Grouse, maybe do the Grouse Grind and enjoy the view when you make it up.

- Yep.

- Yep. It accurately portrayed the problem in Brazil in the 80's. Watch "Tropa de Elite" and "Tropa de Elite 2" to get a good idea of the current problem.

- Pursuing a combined B.Sc/MoT at BCIT/SFU.

- Nope.

- Yep.

- I like to draw cars.

- I do computer work 8 hours a day. I'm tired when I get home.

-Would you ever move to another city in Canada?

-Do you hate Surrey?

-What kind of car do you drive now?

-Have you and your wife thought about having kids? Do you want kids?

-Do you have much family left back in Brazil?

-Why are you selling all your cards? A car's great, but so's Magic!

- Depends. I might consider a move if my after tax income was in the six figures.

- Nah, Surrey's awesome, yo.

- None. Soon, after I sell these expensive pieces of cardboard, an Audi A8.

- Nope. Probably not.

- Cousins count? If so, a ton of those. My grandmother had 13 siblings, and each had an average of 3 kids. Extrapolate from there.

- Cuz I always wanted the old style A8 (like the one in Ronin, although that was an S8, but I don't need 450hp...), and if I sell 75% of my cards I can afford a dream car. Works for me! And, oh, you've probably noticed the absence of foils and ABU cards from my sales list. I'm not quitting. I'm... downsizing.

Hey Bro, I've read like millions of your posts and thought I'd ask a few Q's...

1. If you were an American politician, what party would you consider yourself a member of?

2. Thoughts on American Welfare/Food Stamps

3. Thoughts on the immigration perdicament in the US?

Now a little more light-hearted type-stuffy...

4. Do you care about Alt. 4th?

5. Do you drink? If so then what's your fave thing?

6. Do you realize that Google stock was pretty expensive when it was in its IPO?

7. What do you think about lawn gnomes? Would it freak you out if someone snuck in through the night and placed like 10-20 of them in your lawn?

8. Will you accept my apologies for all these poopy Q's?

- I'd have to create a new one. Centre-right, maybe.

- Don't know much about it; you can't let people starve though. Drug users should not get welfare checks; instead, they should be sent to rehab.

- Make it easier for people that are working and contributing to the economy to be legalized. Get rid of those who commit crimes. Why is it so hard?

- I have a few cards, but I could care less.

- Everyone drinks. Some drink alcohol, which I don't. I like Guarana.

- Yes, I do, but it was not as expensive as it is today.

- I live in a condo, so whatever. I'd laugh.

- It's all good.
