[Ultima66]

Gogo Froum.

[stolin]

lol

fixed



thanks for posting the new clan. great title, and massive welcome to our newest member:

8) Insane Hermit 8)


you should now be able to see the magical forum beneath the 'clans' forum entitled
"Forum [Wizards]" :D

[Yusuke]

congrats on your... 4th page? XD

-Yusuke, [Academy] Rector

[Streetz]

So ... did we ever finalize our motto?

correction: 4th thread

:wink:


and streetz, your last one was good. i will look for it in a minute

[Insane Hermit]

Yeah, that's a cool feature. Do all the Clans have a secret thread?

Also, thanks a lot to Streetz for letting me keep my avvy. If someone finds it offensive, just PM me and I'll take it off. And be sad.

Favorite Emoticon on this site (possibly any site): :shoot:

Anyways, thanks for excepting me into your caln!

[Interpolled]

that ones reserved for TGP my friend, so pick another

[stolin]

if you would like to you could grab one from another site, but interpolled is right

[Insane Hermit]

Oh, I didn't mean as a "Trademark Emoticon" or anything. Just thought it was cool.

I went looking for one, and had a lot of issues. I couldn't use the tags correctly, but Streetz helped me out.

I want this one: [img]http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_3_7.gif

That's [*img]http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_3_7.gif[*/img] without the *s.

[thegeneralpublic]

Go figure he picks one that is removed via built-in filters. I swear, I need a new compy. What is it?

[Streetz]

It's one smily eating another smily whole. It's very amusing.

To bad the site wants me to install ActiveX controls to view their other smilies. I don't trust these sites at all. :(

[thegeneralpublic]

I wish i had your problem; my compy just blocks 'em. *sigh* oh well.

Stolin, you got the motto yet?

[Insane Hermit]

Yeah, it forces you to install a program that is basically legal AdWare. I figured out how to get rid of it, though.

[thegeneralpublic]

Edited the first post!

[Insane Hermit]

I just realized: I'm Clan Member #09! That's my favorite number! Awesome is the name of this finding.

[olliejr]

Welcome hermit!


What do you guys think of my new avy and sig? Cool?

[stolin]

the banner is just plain awesome! 8)

[Insane Hermit]

Yeah, that sig banner is awesome. In fact, it's even earned one of Insane Hermi's Weird Smilies!

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_75.gif

YAY! I made it on ms piant! I RULEE WITH MS-PIANT!! but yeah I might start and avy sig shop!

[thegeneralpublic]

very nice banner! Interpolled, you've got competition!

[Interpolled]

meh, both are good. :D

[Insane Hermit]

Interpolled is outdone, I think... but you can have an Insane Smily too!

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_42.gif

Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense, but I have about a zillion and I thought that one was funny.

[stolin]

our clan has spread to the mana tap forums as well. check it out!!

[FIRE REIGN 2]

Hmm... Since everyone else is doing it...

Here's my complementary banner to any Wizard who wants to use it. :D


http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c353/FIREREIGN123/Wizards1.jpg


Kind of on the darkside, but hey, that's my style. Hope you like it! 8)

[thegeneralpublic]

What's going on over on mana tap? I may join in a little bit.

[Insane Hermit]

It's cool there. I think you should join. It's very new, so get it while you can still be, like, a respected senior member (I have confidence that it will get big). I'm a "Deck Creator," which means I mod the deck forums and come up with stupid ideas. Check it out!

[olliejr]

Insanes right I can be an elder over there, COOL!

[Interpolled]

we all could be relatively elder here too.

[stolin]

yeah, its fun over there, but this place is my home


*pssst*(being a F[W] is better than being an elder)

[thegeneralpublic]

Righteous!

:pwn:

wait, dang...

:shoot:

[stolin]

i know man! we have got to get to streetz with that technology


I wish that :potato:

:pwn:

:stolinpoketgp:

[olliejr]

Yeah...we need new smilies! yes please we need new stuff...

[Insane Hermit]

Just checking in today...

It's raining like the big baby in the sky just got shot in the foot.

[stolin]

posts in this forum have started to deplete :(

[Interpolled]

thats because we now have special PRIVATE FORUMS!

[thegeneralpublic]

yeah!

Are you guys even working on CC4 anymore? Stolin, can you tell ys how much more we need to make?

[stolin]

sure, check the private forum

[Interpolled]

dude im like totally working on more cards that im gonna post pretty soon

[stolin]

dude, that is so super cool! :wink:

lol, ok back to your banner

[The Roaming Gnome]

New stuff ? When?

[thegeneralpublic]

Kinda off topic, but something I thought the clan might find intriguing.

Let A=B
A*A=BA
A^2=BA
A^2-B^2=BA-B^2
(A+B)(A-B)=B(A-B)
(A+B)(A-B)/(A-B)=B(A-B)/(A-B)
A+B=B
Because A=B
2B=B
2=1

Though the algebra is all correct and there are no errors, there is a problem with it. Which is, this line

(A+B)(A-B)/(A-B)=B(A-B)/(A-B)

A-B would equal 0, so it's dividing by zero. But what scares me is that it's perfect algebra. *Shiver*

[Interpolled]

dude you just blew my mind.

im going to show that to my math teacher.

[thegeneralpublic]

My math teacher showed that to me. My reaction:

:| :shock: :dropjaw:

[Streetz]

When was Iron_Blood420 added to Forum Wizards?

[stolin]

f[w] on manatap

[Streetz]

Yikes. This becomes very confusing. Can't we keep the clan on this forum only? All members of the clan must be a member of the MDV forum. That's my thoughts anyway.. it makes it a LOT less confusing.

[stolin]

this is the only real clan spot.
no one is serious about clans over there. don't worry streetz. This clan here has my full attention

[Streetz]

I am not worried. I like ManaTap. I just want to limit the confusion of having the same clan on more than one forum.

I am sure you can understand that.

[Pingele_Pats]

I fully agree with Streetz that it's very confusing that there is also an "Clan Forum Wizards" on Manatap. If you want to continue this double clan, I would encourage every F[W] to place a link to MDV-clanforum in his signature.

btw. Keep in mind that each clan here on MDV has their own privite forums.
Other clans and the outside world can't see how active each clan really is..?
I think this is a bad thing for the whole clansidea in general.
Less new people will be encouraged to join a clan here this way.

I suggest more quick contests in less time. 1 contest a week (or 2 weeks).
That will result in more posts and better interaction between clans and encourages possible new members and clans to start here.

[thegeneralpublic]

edited the first post.

[TJ]

Hey there. I was wondering where i was meant to go to join a clan?

[stolin]

sure man, you are in!

you will see a magic forum appear, enjoy!

[thegeneralpublic]

He didn't say this clan...a little prima-donna, eh, stolin? :P

[TJ]

thanks man. and i did actually mean this one lol

[thegeneralpublic]

oh! my bad! what's your favorite emo?

[TJ]

Got it for ya in my welcome thread. :starwars: please

[stolin]

hmm, clans are dying because of the private thread.... :(

seen any good movies lately?
Chronicles of Narnia was pretty good!! 8)

[TJ]

Yeah, a whole load of my friends went out for a night o see it, and we couldn't stop laughing. Maybe you just need to be as cynical as us to see the funny side. i swear to God that I thought iwas gonna die laughing lol

"Here, take this when you are in danger, blow it and help will come..."

lmao! (actually this might be a little on the 'smutty' side lol if any mods find it too, smutty, then delete away) heheheh...and fyi, they were talking about a horn

[Streetz]

I don't think it is because of the private threads. Everyone is busy with finishing up school before winter break and, of course, Christmas Shopping.

[thegeneralpublic]

*phew* I got my shopping done while I was away. I'm now broke. :roll:

[stolin]

really? I got about a bajillion dollars for Christmas :paranoid:

[TJ]

*Steals bajillion dollars* What bajillion dollars? On a completely different note, look what I got for christmas! The same amount that a bajillion dollars would look like converted to Sterling! What a coincidence! lol

[stolin]

lol, thats pretty funny teej :wink:

HAPPY NEW YEAR WIZARDS!

[Streetz]

Same to everyone else. Sorry I have been lacking in clan activities for the past few weeks. I am trying to beat Dungeon Seige II (if you haven't heard).

How did the deck building clan contest go?

[Streetz]

Important.

Please check out the private Clan forum for two new threads -- my proposed decklist for the CC4 which we have until 1/22 to complete.

Also, I have a mandatory clan check-up. If you wish to stay in the clan.. please post in that thread.

Thanks.

[mattithyahu]

hey, what's it take to join a clan?

[Neuromancer]

You have to post in the appropriate clan thread asking for permission to join.

[Streetz]

Neuro.. it's good to see you around .. even though you aren't in the Wizards.

mattithyahu, do you want to join the Wizards? If you do, you just have to tap dance and sing something by Eminem to join.

Where's stolin when we have someone interested in joining?

...do you agree with our first post?

[mattithyahu]

of course!

*tap dances*

[Neuromancer]

I'm not in the clan, but remember I'm also the Clan Forum mod, and one of my duties is to clarify any doubts users may have about the forum.

Well, I'm outta here now.

[stolin]

thanks neuro, and schoolwork streetz..

welcome to the clan! mattithyahu!

[mattithyahu]

thanks!

[thegeneralpublic]

What'd I miss? :wink:

[Streetz]

Who let da Wizards out.... hoo hoo hoo hoo... Who let da Wizards out...

Let's liven this up a bit guys... It seems we have lost some of our members due to inactivity. Why don't we have an inner clan contests or something?

BTW.. who is currently in the clan. I sent a PM to tedweird about a month ago and have not received a reply. I think he is gone.

[thegeneralpublic]

Lol. I don't think that matti really left the clan. He's probably around here somewhere...

I think it may be jsut the 3 of us: You, me, and stolin.

[Dummy]

If I was a real member.. I would ask to join this clan. :)

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

[thegeneralpublic]

But you are!

[Streetz]

You should be banned, Dummy, from all forums except the secret dummy forum. :)

So how's everyone doing? I haven't see a number of the wizards post lately... where are all of you guys!

[thegeneralpublic]

Dead...its getting harder for me to get online again. Eh, oh well.

GENERAL DISCUSSION TOPIC: Do you think that the title " The General Corner" is a subtle hint?

[Streetz]

Oh you mean, like, where TGP is most often? :)

[thegeneralpublic]

That's what we think. We've also decided that we like the plural.

[Streetz]

So are we doing anything to recruit more members? It seems many, many of our old members are MIA.

[stolin]

I will make a MIA list in the first post, and I may be able to drag some old sould our way, we must wait and see!

[tedweird]

Wow, it's been a really long time. http://sirwolfgang.forumsplace.com/images/avatars/gallery/Assorted%20Cute%203/63.gif

[stolin]

welcome back, I always knew you were still here. and they doubted you ... ;)

welcome back fellow wizard :D

[Streetz]

I will admit... I doubted. :oops:

Welcome back to the clan.

[stolin]

lets make this the best clan on MDV again. Im ready to get back into the action!!

[stolin]

its been a day so this isn't illegal


.. so my pretties, what do you think of the new banner? its like souls pulled towards the light. I think my yawg was coming out of me.. teehee :D

[ButteBlues]

Dearest Pope Stolin <s>bribed</s> asked me to come on in and apply to your wonderful clan, so, here I am.

Some stuff about... moi... o_O

Name: Will
Age: 16
Appearance: About 6'2"-3", lanky, blue eyes, blondish hair, temporarily glasses (nasty eye infection preventing use of contacts)
Location: I live in Atlanta, not too far from stolin
Hobbies: I'm a big competitive magic guy... mostly stuck to playtesting with my group online though.

[stolin]

sweet, we need some freshness. oh, and there is no drama in this clan. woohoo. just chill and relax, and welcome to the [Wizards] 8)

[thegeneralpublic]

Chill and relax...two things I find hard to do around stolin. :shock: I mean... :D

[Streetz]

I'm sure he was joshing.

[stolin]

he must have been joking. im a pretty easy going southern boy. its ok Streetz, even if you are a Yank! :)

[tedweird]

I'm stil trying to keep myself from becoming a Hooooosier. I was born in Louisiana; when I was three, we moved to Pennsylvania; and halfway through first grade, we moved to Indianapolis, the middle of nowhere. :roll:

[Streetz]

Yank.. hahahahaha.

Anyway, I've always lived in good 'ol Illinois (particularlly suburbia of Chicagoland).

I've move from my town, to the next town over, then three more towns over, then back to hometown, then two towns over and then back to home town.

:)

Always in Illinois. :wink:

[tedweird]

That's gotta get pretty annoying, having to pack up just to move a few towns over constantly.

[tedweird]

It's sad that I'm noticing this now, but all of the similarly-based F[W] threads started the same way, oh and the last 'old thread link' in TGP's first post in this thread is dead.

[ButteBlues]

I know how the moving can get. I've been to something like 13 schools, and I'm in 10th grade. :/

[stolin]

I haven't moved since I was 3 months old. I'm a peach.. always!

[tedweird]

BB: :shock: That beats me right out! But how about distance? My dad was born in Japan. Then, he moved to the UK, then to DC (US), back to the UK, back to DC, on to Pennsylvania, Michigan, Louisiana, back to Penn., and settled down in Indianapolis!

[Streetz]

Wow. I'm glad I've only lived in Illinois. Makes me more secure. :)

[ButteBlues]

Well, I can't beat anything overseas... at all.

However, my most recent move involved me leaving Great Falls, MT for Atlanta.

[tedweird]

Yay, I win... er, i guess, my dad wins... whatever... :D

[stolin]

BB, tell us about your new sig/avvy deal you have going on. It's cool. but what is it?

[tedweird]

Well, his current sig-pic is for the browser that I use! :P

[thegeneralpublic]

Man, this reply thing is going to take some getting used too...what've I missed?

[tedweird]

Well, were you there when I (apparently) came out of a coma?

[thegeneralpublic]

Yeah. :roll: Man, I need to start getting online more.

[Streetz]

Welcome back TGP. Now we have to get jumping on this clan contest #5 thign (CC#5)... assuming its still alive. :)

[tedweird]

I think it may have gone into a state of suspended animation. translation: it's a vegetable

[Yawgmoth]

I can only speak for the Order here, but our inter-clan activity is a bit... weird... We will have our teams announced shortly, after that we will wait for the other two clans...

[thegeneralpublic]

Awesome. In the mean time, anyone here gone to see capitol steps?

[tedweird]

The what? :|


Why's Yawg posting that in here, shouldn't he put it in the thread that's solely about CC5?


[Edit]- this was a techie's 1024th post! Get it? technology? 1024? oh, nevermind! :roll:

[Yawgmoth]

Since it was not an official statement ;) But do not despair! We rise and fall!

(I get the 1024 thing)

[stolin]

it's cool, thanks Yawg!

[Streetz]

so did everyone check out my article from Wednesday... you know the one about Aku Djinn? Let me know your thoughts of it.

[thegeneralpublic]

I couldn't give you much advice; I don't try to find my decks online. :(

Though I did have this really interesting idea for a Simic/Gruul deck. I wonder how cool that would be...

[Streetz]

I think we need to get some new blood in here considering some of our old blood has dissipated. Any ideas on how to do this?

BTW, what is our goal, or motto, or bread and butter?

[stolin]

I agree streetz, I will seek more people and thanks for the e-mail.

[ButteBlues]

It's quiet up in hurr.

>.>

I've got a chem paper to work on - au revoir!

[Streetz]

So who do we think is going to win american idol?

[stolin]

I had my money on Chris Daughtry, now I'm thinkin Taylor :(

[Streetz]

Agreed.

Onto other things:

I will be posting a feature for each clan and we need to get our stuff together. Our name, logo, motto, etc. Please see the clan announcement I made earlier today.

This should be easy for us. Discuss.

[stolin]

well, I saw the DaVinci Code. Now, that was pretty good. What do you guys think?

[Your Worst Nightmare]

I think The Stravinci Code is better. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif Don't you agree Giocconda is much more cooler like this: http://www.polonia.com/polishbooks/assets/books/8360346003.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/zquestionmark.gif

[stolin]

that is one of the most craziest and most random things I have ever seen pertain to a subject.
I award YWN <span style="color:#FF0000">47 Pope Points</span>. I haven't given those out since like January!1

[Your Worst Nightmare]

YAAY!!

I am now an official pope point bearer!

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif

[Sasori]

NOOOO , i don't believe that YWN has more of anything than me.....


what do i have to do to get Pope points..... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[stolin]

not expect them, first of all. you must also be outstanding with something in a post.

[Your Worst Nightmare]

Does that mean I was outstanding in my post?

W00TAGE!!

[stolin]

Yes, thats what it means.

mmk.


So, Lets clean up a little bit. We should get a new clan thread.
