Dies to Removal

If I had to pick a leading lady for FoS, it would be Nuwen, closely followed by Lindsey Sterling.

Also, would a format-rotating monthly Cockatrice tournament be something you guys would be interested in doing? There's some talk about running some events in the admin forum, and I think that's something we should really think about running. I'd be willing to go out of my way to run it at the helm if anyone else is down.

I know Koopa runs one on MTGS, but I can't think of anything I'd want to do less than play Magic with your typical MTGS user. I could straight up steal the formatting for it from there, though. That being said, what would your opinions be on how to deal with decklists? Publicly viewable or no? If we're keeping them hidden I can keep track of the Deck ID numbers, so that's not an issue, but I know that I like how decklists are
handled in top8 of most tournaments and think that could be interesting to extend to the rest of the event.

Anyone want to play on Trice?

I've honestly never understood the hatred for France and all things French in the US. The public school system in the town I grew up in offered French and Spanish "immersion" classes. My parents chose French for me. So I was in French class since kindergarten. In kindergarten we were allowed to speak English, but we learned basic French vocabulary. Starting in 1st grade we weren't allowed to speak English at school. I learned the normal math, science, history, etc. curriculum everybody else did but it was all in French. Then we had a dedicated French class where we
learned French history, geography, etc.

It's been more than 10 years since I graduated college and I haven't had any use for French since then, so I'd no longer consider myself fluent. But I could probably pick it back up fairly quickly.

I've been to France and Paris a couple of times. Nobody has ever been rude to me. The first time I went was a school trip in High School, at the height of my fluency. I started chatting with one of the guards in Versailles and she asked me where in France I was from because she couldn't quite place the accent (just like USA, different French regions have different accents, even though the country as a whole is roughly the size of Texas).

A couple of years ago my wife and I went to Paris for our first anniversary. I had lost a lot of the language skills but could still understand almost everything. I tried to speak with just about everybody, and everybody was super polite. Some people helped and urged me to continue, some people responded in English (
politely), but nobody was rude.

I think the "rude" thing comes from Americans who are themselves rude first. We can be a very boisterous lot, and I'm sure that doesn't come across very well when we visit other cultures.

American's abroad are the literal worst yeah, although bring asked to translate "Italian into American" was fucking hilarious.

I'm drinking Switchback. Getting drunk watching football german dungeon rape-porn because my wife and son are at the in-laws.

This is why I hate hipster Kaze,

Can't be Tsukihime, the art is too good. That game is like bad photoshop backgrounds, art dawn by a guy who flunked out of high school art class, and seafood.
