I wonder where he's at. I know at least one store in my area that is not taking preorders, and is selling at MSRP, on a first-come, first-serve basis.@Dane: Kamahl said $180, which honestly seems reasonable to me, if you preordered them at the very beginning.
I'm just amazed by how dumb you can consistently pretend to be.
An alternative explanation is that your sig link is actually working.Well there's already guests in the thread. HELLO MODS. I'D CALL YOU MTGS MODS BUT MTGS FILTERS TO iridium!
That would imply that people actually think what I says has merit. I imagine that's not the case. It's probably just Sene being buttmad.An alternative explanation is that your sig link is actually working.Well there's already guests in the thread. HELLO MODS.

I have, but that doesn't answer my question.Have you ever interacted with those two? There's something not right upstairs, guaranteed.Just curious as to your intent behind this question? Are you implying that autism is a bad thing?Do you think people like Rivaltuna and Sarkhan's Apprentice are autistic?
SM, you complete me.
I'd like to do anything that helps me get familiar with Cockatrice, and the conventions that people expect to be followed in a friendly environment. I just barely downloaded it the other day, and tried playing a local game against myself, and found myself wondering exactly how much detail opponents expect...when you tap a dual land, do you need to increment the color of mana that you want, and the decrease the counter when you spend it, or do people justWould you guys be interested in doing one of those Guild Wars type deals on Cockatrice within FoS? Or maybe even opening it up to everyone? I've got an idea for a hella Dimir deck, and I think all-in-all it could be fun, especially since it's a "play whenever you want" type thing.

I'm starting to worry that we're getting a bit PC.You guys are right, autistic is a stupid fucking word in general, since you can't even use it to describe people who are autistic.
Being autistic isn't a BAD thing, but it certainly isn't a desirable thing. Acting like someone autistic, when you aren't, IS a bad thing.Still haven't answered my question. Describing people as autistic is fine. Implying that autism is a bad thing is a dick move.

Sorry if I'm coming off as defensive. Just to provide some background, my son is autistic. He has several friends whom are also autistic. They are an extremely friendly group of kids. They are also very bright. So when someone equates autism with stupidity, it tends to upset me.I'm starting to worry that we're getting a bit PC.You guys are right, autistic is a stupid fucking word in general, since you can't even use it to describe people who are autistic.

autistic, when you aren't, IS a bad thing.
I, like everyone else, have my own pathology. Making every single "problem" people have into a protected class is a fast road to a society of mediocrity. Feeling shame about my downfalls has hurt my feelings, but also pushed me to get past them.

MSRP is around $170, he claimed to be getting 3 boxes at $160; prices are currently $250-300. I know some stores made decent deals to regular customers, but the thread progression was typical braggy trash; someone (1st time poster) said they got 3 boxes at $180, then Kamahl piped that he got 3 at $160. Yes, this might fall in the realm of possible realities, but I call bullshit dick-showing contest among amateurs. It got under my skin because someone was honestly asking about the reality of finding a reasonably-priced box and the whole thread was at least half trash talk. Besides, I was in the mood to stir the pot a bit...bored at work does that .What's the MSRPGot bored, wandered over to Sally, ran onto typical Kamahl bullshit here, couldn't leave it alone. Why do people feel the need to post such trash? Does anyone really feel like a better person by posting that they're getting a better in than someone else when it's obviously fictitious? Or am I just the only ignoramus who doesn't know about all the wonderful, selfless card shops that can afford to sell off MM in bulk at discounted prices?
for a box of MM? He said he was getting them for $160, right?
I speculate that you don't care, but the autism thing in your sig is really in poor taste. It doesn't exactly make our community seem like the great place it is.PS: How likely does it seem that I get banned within a week of being back on MTGS? Especially with this signature?
+1 this all the way, Virgil. My son was "officially" diagnosed with Asperger's, though by new criteria he would labeled as having high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder. I'll be blunt here as well; equating autism--which is primarily a defect in sensory processing--with mental deficiency is ignorant and offensive.

Completely understandable.

This reminds me of something that one of the guys I play Magic with said. He's autistic, but he's cool as fuck. He's also a very technical Magic player, at least as long as he's playing one of the
But, that being said, autism by it's very definition does not imply any sort of intellectual impairment. Many people on the spectrum are scary-smart and accomplish amazing things--including, just for quick examples, Einstein and Michelangelo. The use of "autism" as a pejorative isn't only in poor taste, it demonstrates and ignorance of what the disorder really is. Yes, extreme low-functioning autistics do often demonstrate impaired mentation, but autism does not equate with intellectual impairment or poor reasoning abilities.

Alex, I'm not at all butthurt as you've never made any secret of the fact that you delight in button-pushing. Rather, I'm flat telling you that you undermine your claim of being "pretty good at this English stuff" by using "autistic" as a pejorative relative to higher reasoning ability. It's a neurological defect characterized by sensory processing issues, and your use in your sig shows that you don't understand the word you're using. Though I definitely find your sig in poor taste, I think more germane to your line of argument is the fact that you contradict your own claims of English mastery through this demonstrated ignorance.

Normality are the shackles in which complacence and ennui fester. Unyoke yourself from societal expectation! Grow and thrive in the unique manner defined only by yourself. Life should be an wild adventure, not a normal destination.
