    you should try being a cool guy

     

     

    My name is Jim out of Lincoln NE.  
    Doug Kinney brought me into the game
    Paul Heaver designed stay on target to deal with my Rebel Swarm
    I have consistently beaten the Mynock Squadron top dog Brad MIller
    I consistently play with and talk strategy with THE Aaron Bonar and Sean Dorcy out of Omaha
    I have drank with Richard Hsu, Richard White, Ahriman Attackus and the Australian Champion
    Tusken Tactician made me into a meme.
     
    Apart from actually winning anything notable, I'm not sure how you get interviewed so I came up with shameless self promoting.


    I have not won anything notable. I got interviewed a couple of times because I played TIE Defenders to some modest success before they were titled, and wrote extensively about it. When they got the titles, a couple of podcasts wanted to talk to me.

    So grab that Scyk and keyboard and get to work.

    Entering the 4th round, I was 2-1 at the local monthly tournament, having just lost to the very strong and friendly mynock who went 2nd at the norcal regional, and I was facing another strong mynock player. He's very friendly and it's always fun playing with him. I had beaten him before but this match wasn't going well, and Biggs had just died. I did not draw the extra damage cards as it didn't make a difference and my opponent didn't care. I have to say that if he had asked me to I would have, it's just part of being friendly to your opponent. But he didn't care and we moved on to the next round. Except we couldn't.

     

    The TO (also a regular local player at the store, like me) happened to pass by our table and told me to draw the extra cards. At first I calmly pointed out it didn't really make a difference, since I wasn't gaining any advantage, but he started to get angry and insisted that a rule is a rule whether meaningful or not. I don't like being bullied, so I got angry myself as well at that point. When he told me to pack up and leave I refused. I and my friendly opponent went back to playing, while the not-so friendly TO went to the other TO, the one who is an actual store employee. Since the other TO is running a business and I am a regular customer who was not cheating but only broke a usually meaningless rule, he decided he didn't care to toss me out of the store.

     

    However, what concentration and fun I was having was gone, and I dropped out. I also realized that I was spending 8+ hours in a hot store in socal not only playing with plastic spaceship (which can still be fun) but now arguing about plastic spaceships – something I thought I was done in primary school. So I went home and put my $600+ collection for sale.

     

    If you care to know, the TO above was the socal regional champion and mynock podcaster. 

     

    Take care everybody, it was fun while it lasted.

     

    your right, this IS a good example of you not flying casual

    As a former MtG player, these kinds of topic still make me smile. I used to have to drop a lot more than that per card on multiple playsets of 4 to remain competitive; seeing people completely freak out about doing it once so they can build just one of the several competitive archetypes we have at the moment is rather amusing.

    being a non magic player this is like someone saying haha yeah sure cutting off your toe hurt but back in my day, we cut off our own arms! for fun! in the snow! 

     

    and we liked it!
