Wait, he deleted the story? Lame.

deleting the story isn't helping his side...
anyway, Nihil's TJC theory sounds partially correct in this case.
I read through this whole thread and feel really bad for missing the opening post.
Could you please be so kind and re-post it so that the rest of us who came a little late to join in on the making fun of you can enjoy the amusement in it's pure golden roflmao-ness?
That's what a real man (and his friends) would do anyways.
I've read the OP. And from what I remember, it was not interesting. However, I would not take the defense of the dumb. I would not come to the conclusion that Majikal is a jerk neither. Just that he has overreacted by threatening the guy, and that even at home he overreacted by telling us this story.
Honestly he did us a favor by deleting the opener. It was a wall of text like 4 drawn-out paragraphs long.
Jist of it is he was annoyed by a normal bad-at-rules magic player and he flips out and then after the tournament or whatever it was he waits outside with his friends to, I quote "jumped him in the parking lot" and told him to never come back.
Isn't language amazing?
and there was something about telling the dude not to spill his stupidity all over his cards or something like that after the counterbalance comment.
man, the hypocracy flows like wine in this thread. i'm durnk alreedy.
haha, you know what'd make this thread more entertaining? If Majikal or whatever his name is, goes back and deletes all his posts, so in six months, someone new stumbles onto this thread and is like "wtf, every here is an asshole"...idk, I'm enjoying the "your mom/+1" comebacks in this thread, and i hope it continues.
Skizzik No Kicker. Like a true retard.
What a babby
I think tuff guys are sexy. Majikal can jump me in the parking lot anytime.

That's pretty much already the reaction you lot get, isn't it?
Wow, your reading skills need help. Even without the story in the first post you can easily piece together that we told him not to come back because he was trying to rip people off, Jack's fantastical make-believe scenario aside.
I actually lol'd. Well played, sir.
I'm always amused when someone's attempt to hold another up for public mockery backfires.
For my confessions, they burned me with fire/
And found I was for endurance made
Yeah, I'm not buying that. If the guy was just ignorant of card prices, you would expect him to propose trades that were to his detriment about as often as those to his advantage. Instead, every single trade he wanted to do was grossly in his favor.
The idea that he was just innocently trying to trade his uncommons for Baneslayers stretches credibility beyond the breaking point, Jack's sudden big-hearted-ness notwithstanding.
And I'm not buying that he knew what he was doing. If I remember correctly he was screwing himself in a deal by arguing that counterbalance was a terrible card, while wanting to trade it.
About the baneslayer... no one anywhere is going to agree to a trade of #Uncommons for 1 Rare, and no little kid is going to believe that. If he was trying to rip people off he could easily come up with a better scam than that, and I'm assuming he's just retarded.
Which believe it or not does not mean he needs to get jumped in the parking lot.
Yeeeeeah. Maybe you're from happy care bear land where everyone trades for honor and communal spirit, but back in reality even new players are trading to make a profit. Valuing what you have more than what the other person has in a trade is a completely normal human reaction.
Proposing trades that are in your favor isn't actually a crime. I can't believe I'm having to explain this shit to purportedly grown-ass adults.
Ignoring your attempted ad hominems and the fact that proposing trades in your favor isn't actually in any way immoral, everything this player did and said indicated that he knew nothing about this game. That was, in fact, Majikal's complaint; that he was a noob. To simultaneously complain of his noobdom while insisting he knew what he was doing is to demonstrate a truly impressive level of double think.The idea that he was just innocently trying to trade his uncommons for Baneslayers stretches credibility beyond the breaking point, Jack's sudden big-hearted-ness notwithstanding.

So, is anyone commenting in this thread witness to the event or are we all going based off the story that majikal deleted?
Just because he's a noob as far as the rules of the game go doesn't mean that he doesn't know the value of the cards or how to rip people off (or at least try).
No, they were my Counterbalances. He commented on them whilst thumbing through my box of uncommons. The only way this screwed the deal was by exacerbating the general asshattery of his card-valuing system. Undervalue my cards + spout bullshit = I don't want to trade with you anymore.
not really. I didn't read about baneslayers anywhere, it was about an akroma.
of course, majikal says people will just come here and be able to piece together the story, but if he didn't delete the story, there wouldn't be a need for people to comment on incomplete information. if he was so sure that he did the right thing, he would've kept his story up. but I guess he's only a man when he can jump us on the parking lot with his friends and threaten to kick our asses.
I agree with IBA, if this guy didn't know much about magic, he wouldn't know the real value of cards, for his benefit or not. I know when I was a noob I made some pretty good deals without realizing it.
and you know, if he didn't know how counterbalance worked, instead of just telling him not to lek stupidity all over your cards or however you put it, you could've just asked him "why?" and then corrected him with actual rules knowledge. you could easily pwn him right there and actually increase his knowledge of the game rather than being an arrogant prick.
btw, his 2 uncommons for a rare thing is ridiculous, but I know I had a similar concept. like some uncommons that I wanted for one rare I didn't care for. I eventually realized this wasn't a good system, but I stopped trading by then, so meh.
Jack Elgin, do you see what you did? You condemned this guy by flexing your e-peen and saying he was uncool, and now everyone is riding your banana.
This was not an example of the OP being a dick. Half of you calling him an asshole didn't even read the first post, so you can fuck off. The rest of you are jumping on the motherfucking bandwagon, "everyone else says he's a dick, I guess thats what I think". If you had read the god damn post, it was obvious that the guy was a scumbag trying to scam everyone.
Fuck I'm in a bad mood.....
