    Why didn't you play out games two and three?

This will be both an economically feasible AND sensible move.

    You don't know why I posted that, do you...
    I think I see why. My post lacks detail. I suppose it makes sense that a person who is of the character to ragequit is also the kind of person who would not understand why that makes him a douche. So I will spell this out for you as well as I can.

    It does not matter that I had the game wrapped up on turn 2. That is not the point. It does not matter that you were packing a high risk, high reward deck, and then got pissy like a toddler when your risk did not pay off. It does not matter that you thought for a long time before deciding not to go for it on turn 1, and then showed me how upset your were with me at your own failed gamble by clicking that X in the corner.

    What matters is that...
    Magic is a great game. The only thing more universally acclaimed is sex. Cockatrice is not the real thing though. But when you need a fix, it is available day or night...in the privacy of your room. Nobody watching. And having to deal with the complete lack of common courtesy of some feckless twit ragequitting is akin to having someone put IcyHot in your tube of Vaseline.

    That whole post was hilarious, but really? I think I'd go with Soccer over Magic for universal acclaim. Probably even over sex because...you know...religion.

    Edit: Also ragequitting is shitty. The shortcut for conceding a game is F2, just sack up and play out the rest of the "round".
    I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

    Agreed, too many people act like toddlers when there is literally nothing on the line. Plus, there is often opportunity to learn by playing it out.

    In terms of Cockatrice grievances, my favourite move is when you get someone who Mulls 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and then kicks you. A close second is Cliquing an opponent and rather than them putting the card on the battlefield and moving it to the bottom of the library, they just move a card from their hand to the bottom of the library...

    This is one of the reasons I am actually considering moving to Modo, as bad as the software is. I think this problem with cockatrice is unavoidable. I think it's just better to either test by yourself (no fun but you gotta do what you gotta do when you have a hard time finding people to test with) or find people to test with. Thus, I was wondering if it would be possible to start a clan, playtesting group, or something for source members who play on Cockatrice. Anyone game or have any similar ideas?

    In regards to Legacy:

    My suggestion is to try to remember the good players and join their games in the future. Also, changing your game to allow registered users only takes .5 seconds and makes a world of difference.

    Question: Has anyone ever had a problem with cockatrice being a source of malware?

    Well my browser (Chrome) declared the installer as malware, after I downloaded it from dropbox. I don't know if this is true, but I couldn't imagine them making that installer as malware, so I deactivated Chrome Protection.

    I scanned the installer afterwards with Kaspersky 2014 and the result was negative.

    Can anyone help me compile this crap on Ubuntu? I'm not too good in the terminal, and am getting stuck when i hit "Cmake ..". If someone knows what I'm talking about post back so I can post a line of my terminal and show what is going wrong.

    edit: nevermind, fixed!

    Re: Official Cockatrice thread

    I just started using Cockatrice yesterday. I am looking to do a lot of testing and I don't know anyone in my area that plays competitive Legacy. I watched a couple youtube videos on how to use the program and overall etiquette. I'm a little slow but I think I'm getting the hang of it. I've been putting in my game titles that I'm a new player and the people who have played with me so far have been pretty patient with me.

    Anyways, I'm HolidayMTG on there if anyone wants to play. PM me and we can set up a time. Not sure how many Sourcers still use Cockatrice but it would be nice to play with any of you. I don't care if you play a tier 1 deck or if you want to test out a new brew. My attitude is you gotta be ready for anything in Legacy.
