1. P&P RPGs self made is my favorite...I spent some of the best moments with friends sitting around table or on a couch plotting the downfall of a certain NPC

2. Yes, I do...but only if I am really committed. In my Magic hiatus (99 - 08) I was into movies...big time...bought around 2000 dvds...now it's Magic time again ;-)

3. Hm, difficult one...Maybe one of my ancestors..Never had a grandfather (both died before I was born)...I'd really like to have a chat with both of them about their views/life and so forth..

4. There is no 4? ;-)

5. Selling my first Magic collection (complete sets from Beta - Urza's Destiny with EVERYTHING as a NM-playset) for $7'500...I KNOW!

1. Business: There is always a guy/girl that is doing less work than you and earns more. Accept it or leave the job...

2. School...In Switzerland you have a 4 tier school system...Gymnasium for the smart guys (who later go to University)...Secondary School (where you are going to make an apprenticeship in the commercial world and are able to study at a University)...Realschule (Blue-Collar mostly and "easy" commercial stuff (copying / fetching coffee / typing for the boss)...and the Oberschule (low level Blue collar guys)...I went to the Realschule (yeah, I was a lazy bum) then made the commercial apprenticeship and worked myself up to be able to apply for university and passed...and looking back today I think I am more successful than all those guys from my neighborhood.

3. Time - Building a house (money is in my appartment now) / Marrying my gf (2012 it is planned but man that take too long) / having kids (also planned but also too far away)

4. More people offering/having signed cards ;-)

5. English ...nah..business wise: Being able to understand the counterparty but stil get my point/goal through...

or: http://s1178.photobucket.com/albums/x362/Markersman/Magic/

2. Phew...I ask myself that...I don't have a definite answer but it has to be one of those:
- My completely signed sets: AQ & DK
- Being only 2 cards away from a completely signed Beta set
- Signed/altered Beta Power
- Signed Imperial Seal
- Double Signed Beta Nevinyrral's Disk by Mark Tedin and Larry Niven
- Double signed Serra Elemental (Amy Weber & Doug Shuler)
- Signed/Altered Playset Judge Maze of Ith (A giant maze drawn about all 4 cards)
- Signed Extended Art Mutavault
...and I am sure I forgot something

3. Fork ...Scrambled
4. Crispy
5. A variation of my First name...Markus...that sounds similar but is different (I can always select it when going to new forums)

2. Sure, who doesn't? Favorite artists? Difficult...AC/DC,
Rammstein, Subway to Sally, Tanzwut, Corvus Corax but also Cash, Sinatra or "A3" are some of my favorites

1 - Yes, I have 2 Nalathni Dragons signed by Michael Whelan

2 - A friend of mine signed a Storm Shaman for me because he looks EXACTLY like the male shaman from Alliances. Other than that it's just Larry Niven on 2 disks (1 Beta & 1 4th Edition)

Have you seen my stapler?

What is your favorite magic win you've had?

The signed sets are one hell of a work. At the moment I can't see myself selling them. But then again if the need arose (sickness / loss of job / emergencies) I would of course sell it...But I like the taking to the grave thing...buried under 50'000 Magic cards

Definitely the Betas of Cornelius Brudi (Wanderlust & Pearled Unicorn). Nobody has them and contacting Cornelius normally ends up in the "nirvana"...It's always the crap commons that are the hardest

Because it was signed? Phew...don't really know...I think my current trade - 6 signed P3K-Islands (signed P3K is HORRIBLE to find) for a signed Promo Oblivion Ring & Wasteland is pretty steep

- Your stapler? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSLh7ctcYBk

- My plays are not that memorable but last weekend we played emperor-cube and I as the emperor won because I sacrificed one of my flanks (plus I didn't give out my Darksteel Colossus to that flank)...that was pretty funny.

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

I know you're from Switzerland, but please answer these two questions the best you can or answer them in regards to what you see in your country:

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?

Peace,
Jesse

Flipping IE...is killing me...

- Fav food: There is that sandwich I make at the restaurant of my parents...Top notch...and then there is Raclette plus barbeque grill...

- Movies (this order): Godfather (every 1st January), LOTR-Trilogy, Godfather 2, Fight Club, Life of Brian, Indy 3, Blade Runner, Apocalypse Now, Once upon a time in the west, Spirited Away

- I was introduced to Magic in 94 (Legends) when a cousin of mine showed me the game...I got instantly hooked and by 99 I properly had the largest collection in Switzerland. restarted in 2008 but only casual/collecting

- US: Yes, you're in for a very rough ride and with you the whole world. There is a whole lot of things wrong in the States and to change it you a) have not enough resources b) don't have enough time and c) don't have the majority of people behind you to do something about it

Regarding Switzerland: I think we came very good through all the debt trouble and global crisis and I think it has a lot to do with our political system. We the parliament passes a law that the people on the street don't like we can start a "people's initiative" and make them stop whatever the hell they wanted in the first place. We the people have a lot of power here. When I see the whole EU/Euro trouble around us I am a bit scared on the one hand but have to laugh on the other. Germany pays for all the things going wrong in the EURO-region...People in Germany will soon have to work until 67 until they can retire while in Greece the normal retirement age is around 55 depending where you work. If our parliament voted for money for those guys we would burn down the Bundeshaus (House of Parliament in Berne).
