I was doing some homework on the internet for my Advance Placement German class last night, and I came across something that I found to be very interesting. I found a german Magic forum that is discussing Celixia. Check it out here: http://spieleforum.de/forum/showthread.php?t=147719.
For those of you whose German isn't up to par (I'll assume that's most), The comments are generally favorable. The poll at the top is 14/9 think it is cool (dafur=I'm for it. dagegen= I'm against it.)
Some random translations for those who wonder what it says:

L.T. Smash thinks its a good idea, but he doesn't think enough people will be interested for it to work (he apparently hasn't seen this sight). He later goes on to say that he is nuetral about it :wink:

Urza doesn't like the set, because he likes playing with real cards. (Then the poll should bee 14/8, because it wasn't really anything bad about the set.)

Gozzor (who's rank is tool :P ): voted negative, but I don't understand his reason (I understand the German, but his logic is messed up. Something about too much work)

Finally from the negative department, Sandstyle has probably the worst comment (so naturally I post it here :x . He said

There were some good things too:
Doudy-der says it is more exciting than other Magic :D

The thing that confuses me is that more people voted for the set, yet those people didn't post in the forum why. Now before you go off on these people about being so negative, I'll put up a disclaimer. A couple of the posts show that a few of them don't get the whole idea of fictional cards. There were a couple of negative comments just because the cards aren't available in cardboard from (like Urza).

So what do you guys think about the internationalness (i think thats a word) of Celixia?

Thanks for scouring the web to find this. I too saw this link (earlier this year? maybe last year) and tried to translate it. I was unable to translate it well, so I just thought.. cool. People in Germany are talking about CELIXIA.

Wait until they see the update!

Actually Streetz, they may not be able to see the updates. I tried their link to the spoilers, and they were both dead. The one to the main site works, but that's it.
Not to mention the last post is dated 8-18-2004...

Perhaps we can post something in that thread. I don't speak German though.

Mein Deutsch ist nicht gut genug zu sagen veil uber Celixia-Karten. Sie werden Ich nicht Deutsch bin wissen. :D

My german isn't good enough to say much about Celixia. They'll know I'm not German.
