[CaNG] General Announcements

I agree with the sentiment althought the delivery is a bit harsh:

On behalf of everyone who will read these decks for the next month, please, please do not flood the threads with "Oh jackass lolz i wuz totally gonna post this 2morrow" 's and "Damn you and your mother for beating me to this!" 's.

Seriously people, if you have a deck fucking submit it.

That is all.

Although I like seeing the constructive development of decks (and members should be helping in a constructive way), I don't like seeing the "pecking party" posts (Px3). Posts like "Hey, this is the same deck as this deck don't help much, and I'm afriad will lead to flaming and hard feelings.

In short, have some faith in the judges. We'll probably be able to notice if a deck is relatively new or not.

So as you can see, we are getting plenty of entries. Some are creative, some are viable, and some are not close to either goals. Well, that's what happens when you have a contest - you get entries of varying quality. I have no problem with looking at Generic.dec and IHave100%GameAgainstEverything.dec. I think that the judges can spot creativity of some level and viability of sorts.

What I do have an issue with is the micro-judging from members. I want to keep the contest friendly, and I fear that some posts are getting snarky. That's right. I said "snarky."

So how is this any different from the usual fluctuater decks that we see?

ctrl F + stax and you would have found this:

It doesn't run Exalted Angel, Chalice or Ancient Tombs... It's more like White Weenie.

Not to be rude, but putting a guru land into a deck doesn't make it new. sorry...

Not to be rude, but the judges may be able to spot a White Weenie deck when we see one.

And some posts are getting just plain redundant:

You frequently mention how you go bob turn 1. Please explain how this works.

Good God. The original list has Chrome Mox in it!

So, keep it nice. And let the judges do their job. Make your entry stronger; don't make others' weaker.

This is the last week for members to submit an entry!

Judges will be making decisions starting next week and the winner will be posted before the end of February.
