  1. "Just remember, anything is edible if you try hard enough." - A friend of mine when I was having a bad day. It confused and delighted me so much I was happy for the rest of the day.
  2. Probably one of my favourite tracks, it's sad, but powerful at the same time. And guess who voices the 4th ranked assassin from No More Heros 2? Tara Strong! Here's her American theme (Catchy as heck)

    Hi

    Dude your favourite school question made my night! Song perfectly depicts my thoughts on the school system. I'm sure you'll fit in just fine, and look forward to chatting more. Oh and... Welcome to Canterlot.
  4. You know, I'm never one for buying solo cards, but with all the great tips you guys gave I might have to look into it. I run white mostly for the blockers and Stonehorn because the people I play with run and extream aggro wurms deck and a white buff equipment deck. But looking at the cards you guys suggested I think I migh narrow down the white. The only problem is the only place that sells cards near me only carries back to New Pherixia (SP?) Thanks for the help guys, I'll think about all this stuff and repost the deck in it's finallity.
  5. Holy paragraphs Batman! Hey Cainiam, welcome to Canterlot, hope you'll have fun here, and glad to here you hate Steam too (evil, evil thing...). I'm sure you'll fit right in
  6. Well this thread looks like it could be helpful, so if you don't mind my posting. This was the first pre-made deck I ever got, and has been made over so many times, and this is the end result. Name: Draw/Scry Colors: Blue,White Format: Casual (L) 13xIslands, 7xPlains (1) 2xSaving Grasp, 1xPreordain, 1xCuriosity. (2) 4xOculus, 3xAugury Owl, 1xRuned Servitor, 1xSage Owl. (X) 1xMind Spring (3) 1xJar of Eyeballs, 1xCrystal Ball (X) 2xBlue Sun's Zenith. (4) 2xStonehorn Dignitary, 4xVivisection, 3xImpaler Shrike, 1xOtherworld Atlas, 1xPhyrexian Metamorph, 2xForesee. (5) 4xPsychosis Crawler, 1xBorder Patrol, 1xSturmgeist, 1xSiege Mastodon, 1xSerra Angel, 1xVenser's Journal. My one hope for this deck is to scrap the Runed Servitor and pick up a Rite of Replication. Any suggestions? It's not to fast... but in a free for all with 3+ players, or late game, it's quite powerful, if I do say so myself.
  7. What is intelligence? The dictionary defines intelligence as "capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc." So we are talking about an ability to learn, to retain what we've learned, and to logically use our knowledge to reason and make connection with the thing we see in daily life. I was called an idiot the other day, nothing major, I wasn't offended to much, until I heard the reason for the harsh words. "You swear, and only stupid people swear because they can't express themselves normally." So launching a debate with this person was inevidable. I have suffered from an extream social-phobic disorder for most of my teenage years, and in that time, I had compleatly shut myself away from the social aspects of the world. I got into writing and my vocabulary grew immensily (Although my spelling still sucked). When I came back into the social world, I could not pick up on any of the social cues that everyone had already mastered. I talked to my classmates like a 13 year old would talk to an older kid (With a distant respect), except my words were longer and more complicated. So there was occasionally times when there would be a gaping hole in my speech, as my extensive vocabulary would cause words to bounce around my head, and make it hard to find the one I wanted to put in the space. So sometimes I would just curse, to buy myself time to think, or to replace the lost word. This was my arguement, while she basically spouted her above statement, with different wording. And then I realized, that this girl was known to have high grades in all her classes. And she is stupid. School is something that rates your intelligences by you ability to regurgitate given information onto a sheet of paper, a system that makes you seem smart if you have a good memory. I have a friend, really booksmart guy, 94% average overall. He is intelligent, but not logical. I on the other hand, have a 70% average. I am not intelligent, but I'd like to think I'm logical. Confused? Here this is how I see it; Intelligent: A person who scores well in school. Logical: A person who can use logic to make well thought out decisions throughout daily life. Stupid: Someone who would lack the ability to survive in the outside world with their high intelligence, but lack of logic. Idiot: Someone who lacks intelligence and logic. Smart: Someone who has both intelligence and logic. So as someone who is seen by an idiot, by a stupid girl in my class, as well as the school system, I feel kinda weird trying to change our definition of smart and intelligent, but I personally think the words need some fixing up. I'm not a intelligent... but just maybe, I could be logical.
  8. Hey Raine, welcome to the site, hope you have a good time here!
  9. Hey DragonBot, welcome to the site, hope you have a great time here in the RP and on the boards.
  10. The concept for the character is fantastic, a character who can stir up a little trouble is usually a great thing to have, and his special talent is quite unique, in my humble opinion. One question though, do ponies relized they've been um... tricked (manipulated, brainwashed... I'm not sure which,) when they regain their senses, because if so I would imagine he would be a wanted pony as well, or does it result in some amnisia of some kind, and if so are there ever any ill effects beacause of it (ponies forgetting where they are, waking up in the street, etc.)? (You helped me with my app, thought I'd write something for your's, hope it helps.)
  11. I recently got into a conversation with a friend of mine, who has verbally voiced his distaste for bronies for a while now, and I, knowing this from before I became one, never brought it up with him. But today casually I said I was doing research on popular internet groups, and bronies were one of them. I asked him why does he dislike them so much, and he responded with the classic "It's a show for little girls, and it's creepy for older guys to watch it." I proceded to point out that if older woman watched Transformors (the cartoon) no one would say anything about it. He grunted and mumbled but still insisted that he was somehow right. It brought to my attention the idea of masculinity, and what society wants their men to be like. In the teen's react to MLP video one of the girls said she wouldn't date a brony because she wanted a guy that was 'tough.' Who says bronies can't be tough? Who says we are gay for watching a show about ponies? Society. Society that wants their men to be tough. When people see a show that was intended for younger girls they don't view the show as tough, or manly, instead as soft, and girly. And those tags stick to those who watch it. Then he brought up a point I've never thought of. He talked about those who use the show in a more... "adult" way (rule 34), and when I mentioned this was mearly a subgroup and it was unfair to generalize like that, he shook his head and said. "You just proved my point, bronies want to 'love and tolerate' but I've seen them rip into those who view the same thing as them, just in a different way." And that made me stop and really think, and the first thing that came to mind, was a personal favourite quote of mine. "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." Friedrich Nietzsche In our struggle to love and tolerate our haters, and in our desire to be loved and tolerated by them, have we become like them? Have we singled out those who like things that are different form ourselves, and laid judgement upon them? I would have to say yes, I personally have, and I know of other who have. When we stand by the pledge to love and tolerate, we can not single out those who use the fandom differently then us, and become the monsters we are trying so desperatly to fight. Toleration should not end and the 18+ rating, and I've noticed that on this website, we seem to be a bit more accepting of that form of expression, art and writing. And for that I am proud. But still things like this, make me cringe when I realized, I thought like that, and was being a compleat hypocrite. Anyways that was just a rant I wanted to put down, I don't need to be comforted, or anything like that. But rather, I would be greatful if you could read it and just take a moment to think about it.
  12. Really? I've never heard that before, but then again I haven't been around very long. Personal opinion is something that should be accepted, but if they are constantly bringing it up, you're right. Any points they make in particular stand out? Because I personally like the song.
  13. Hollow has a very good point, "love and tolerate (Except for those who like G1)" is not our moto. It's love and tolerate, period.
  14. Welcome to Canterlot Felelia, hope you will enjoy your stay here.
  15. See that makes me mad, because those people are saying who can and can't watch the show as well. Although in a much less rude and mean way then the haters.
  16. (Darn, computer screwed up and double posted...)
  17. One of the things that frustrate me to hear, is when bronies, faced with the argument that MLP is a show for little girls, they respond with "No it isn't." It is actually, as well as a show for little boys, teenagers and adults. It just kinda makes me furrow my eyebrows when they try to distance the show from any one group, like the haters do to bronies... Does that make sense to anyone?
  18. Well the hydra, Cerburus, minotaurs and manticores are all bases out of Greek mythology (for those who aren't aware) so maybe we should be looking there for our next group of creatures... Chimera anyone?
  19. Way to stay constant Villefort
