    Because, Bovinious, you're so obviously antagonistic to the structure in place.


    NOBODY comes into a place like this already that angry unless they're nursing a grudge.
    For the foreseeable future, expect to see less of me. I've lost my internet connection, and so I'll only be able to get on by siphoning free Wi-Fi from the surrounding areas. Which isn't always consistent.

    Plus, the guy that I used to leech off of has now instituted password protection. This means that I effectively do not have internet at home. :(

    For fucks sake, this is the 4th person Ive been accused of "being"...I already admitted to knowing Bovinious like 2 pages back, you can go on believing I am him though if you want...you are probably one of the numerous people who bullied him around here back in his day.

    T.T

    EDIT:

    Poll is up guys, btw.

    Well, you are from Northern Virginia. And have, at least, posted from the College of William and Mary. I don't know if that makes you anyone special, but it's interesting.

    Yes this is true, who would of thought someone who knew someone else might live near them. They told me in Psychology class that the #1 determining factor for whether 2 people are friends or not is if they live near each other, I mean it makes sense to me anyways...

    Funny story, that's where Eric Copenhaver goes to college.


    You can thank Calosso for passing that on to me.

    Hey, coincidences happen, I'll give you that.

    But only sometimes.

    Look at this:

    1) You post a fair bit in the Ichorid thread. A thread that Eric Copenhaver (Bovinious) was also heavily vested in.

    2) You sound just as belligerent as he does.

    3) You use similar words and grammatical errors.

    4) You have a similar location to Eric Copenhaver.

    That's a pretty damning list.

    Seems to me that the odds are stacked against you.

    This entire conversation is off topic. Can't we just have a seperate witch hunt thread?

    I agree.

    Because you're a douche jockey with a very low post count who has been pseudo-ranting against the "establishment" for 12+ pages of one thread.

    Just a guess.

    EDIT: To be on-topic...eh, I just don't care about Adepthood in any way. Posts made by Adepts are not "better" than posts by non-Adepts a lot of the time, so it's a pretty moot point, IMO.

    I don't really understand all the venom that the entire Adept concept has generated. I mean, it's a glorified, super-sized posting clique. So fucking what?

    Is there really that big of a problem with the Adepthoodthingy? Its a color, and a couple more forums. Now if they got cake... Either way, is it really worth fighting about? Does it really effect your daily reading? At least this thread has had its ammusing posts.
    Hell, I never even knew what the colors ment till this thread was opened.

    I may not be on the Adept list but I'm PRs Hit List.

    So why do I have to prove it. You don't think that people pay more attention to Adepts or other guys with large post counts?; even though frogboy totally admits that's how it is.

    Maybe we should get some new mods...

    Did anyone else see that episode of the Office, where Michael finds out that Tobey just listens to people griping and then ignores their complaints, so he decides to air out all the problems people have with each other?

    And everyone ends up miserable and angry?

    Jack = Michael
    Early one morning while making the round,
    I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down;
    I went right home and I went to bed,
    I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head.

    So wow, the thread hasn't been locked yet.
    I am surprised considering some of the interesting turns the discussion has taken.

    A couple of points.

    PR, Parcher knows about all the "secrets" of the Adept Lounge because he probably has access to it from the very secure computers of any of the numerous NOVA Adepts.
    Also, you and to an extent IBA keep dodging his arguement with obtuse questions when it is obvious he is talking about himself and how he should be an adept. Just like thefreakaccident and A Legend.

    @ everyone that thinks they might get banned for disagreeing with the mods.
    This isn't SCG.

    @Spat. That was mean calling Nightmare names, especially when talking about him being hostile. Also did you just realize that Jack likes to stir up shit just for the fun of it? It is almost as Jack Elgin as playing a non-blue control deck.

    Tangent/
    Wow Team Unicorn really has that many adepts. Go us.
    I guess we are just filled with so many more good deckbuilders, tournament players, and articulate posters than everybody else.
    Oh, we also have Gearhart.

    HEY, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?

    Aw, Brian. Jerk.

    Although, I guess it doesn't really matter, you're still way better than I am. Jerk. Although, I guess it's fine that you're better than me, I've still won way more prize than you. BURN! (Not the deck, the exclamatory statement)
    For the foreseeable future, expect to see less of me. I've lost my internet connection, and so I'll only be able to get on by siphoning free Wi-Fi from the surrounding areas. Which isn't always consistent.

    Plus, the guy that I used to leech off of has now instituted password protection. This means that I effectively do not have internet at home. :(

    Who honestly cares what one or even a handful of people on here do to go through their own versions of cropping out who they read and who they don't?

    If I'm going to have to deal with another bullshit Ichorid thread, I glance over the first few pages to get decklists and see what changes occurred early on. Then I'll quickly scan points made by everybody around the middle of the thread, then return to the last 5-10 pages and read through them. Nobody gets a biased opinion, I read everything regardless of who it is. If you do or don't follow the same method, that's up to you.

    The major concern here is the fact that the idea of promoting/keeping and reasoning for adepthood is being attacked, because of personal views that it's a good ol' boys club, and not that any of those people have actually contributed (or continue to do so) within the forum.

    It's exceedingly simple. They got to where they are because of what they have done for this community. That means someone was paying attention, either a number of people that nominated, or staff members. If there are regular members, mods, or adepts that believe someone should be in, or out, start putting out names and giving ACTUAL support to it. That's exactly what Nightmare and P_R have been requesting all along, and frankly I see no reason why that's even a challenge. If you have something to say, back it with facts or shut the hell up.

    yeah, you got me, I only read the useful posts.

    Now explain why this is detrimental?
    When in doubt, mumble.

    When in trouble, delegate.
