@MagicOnline Its greatness level is for others to decide, but I was happy to secure "Godot" on day one of the OG Magic Online beta in 2001 when I saw the prompt box during your opponent's priority. I kindly left "Guffman" for someone else. :)

@logancecconi You were responding to a post from 2020; I thought you might have found it through a search that had jumped you to an old post and skipped over the details. Hopefully that new link will get you playing soon regardless!

Thanks for your patience everyone. Installing MTGO after this upgrade will be a little different, just this once (related to a security upgrade). Please uninstall MTGO from your system before downloading again from MTGO.com. But once you've done so... we're live!

Uncomfortable #mtg truths (con’t.): earlier this week I asked this question. It was a trick, because I already knew the answer: players HATED Deluxe Edition, and LOVED The Walking Dead Secret Lair. Twitter gets it wrong. Here’s why… 1/x

@RobertJSchuster @jeremynoell @legomygodo Just “Godot” on MTGO! I noticed the “Waiting for USERNAME” convention during the OG beta in 2001 and quickly reserved the name, and consciously left “Guffman” for someone else. I expanded to modogodot on social because Godot was already taken everywhere!

@snoopymagic @LipetzNathan @MagicOnline When entering a queue that doesn't fire immediately, players sometimes forget and stop paying attention. When such a player is paired, the game ends after a 10-minute wait in which no Magic is played, and both players have a poor experience. Queue confirmation prevented this.

@LipetzNathan @MagicOnline I really don't know the rationale behind for double confirm to join the game when I am in the queue

Taking my dad to his first @CloudCult show (really his first rock show). It happens to be in the cathedral a block from the house where I grew up, and he has lived for 50 years. Excited!

This kind of ruthless attack needs broad, decisive condemnation from the TCG community. (*sobs into nearest pillow*)

Slight correction: after losing the CC game, they *did* bring out my lunch, packed in a to-go container. But it was the not-even-close wrong dish. I say so. Server shrugs sheepishly, like, "That one's good enough, right?" No. I got back to work late & waited for the right dish.

@RyanSpain once ordered, watched everyone else receive and finish their food, LOST the credit card game to pay for it all, and NEVER got his meal. They just hit him with an, “Oh shoot, our bad, we’ll get you next time you come in.” And…everyone just left to go back to meetings.

@talpostal If you do that you’ll stop worrying about the tiny edges like wild cards because you will have as much free Arena drafting as you want. You may sometimes have to grind play-queue constructed to revive an account that has run out of gold or gems, but mostly you’ll be drafting.

@talpostal If you are 100% limited and high rank isn’t a personal goal, then the biggest thing you can do for event EV is to open more accounts. After you win four times, switch to another account and continue to get paid gold to play. Repeat until finished playing.

@RyanSpain Hi Ryan, what's the optimal usage of wild cards for a limited-only player? Should I be crafting away when a new set releases to get to the gems faster?

@SamfordRicky Funny, I wasn't saying that to you; you are being earnest. I mean your fatalistic attitude is depressing, but you're engaging earnestly. If your position matches the Onion headline, though, it's time to reconsider it. Laws have an effect! Laws matter! theonion.com/no-way-to-prev…

Heidi & I are fervently lifting up in prayer the children and families in the horrific shooting in Uvalde. We are in close contact with local officials, but the precise details are still unfolding. Thank you to heroic law enforcement & first responders for acting so swiftly.

@DawgDentist @SamfordRicky @sk8ersmom57 @tedcruz Telling me tersely to "be specific" instead of using the friendly tone you adopted after conveys that you were only interested in either calling out an empty opinion, or setting up to argue about my answer. You are not earnest, you know it, and we're done here.

@RyanSpain @SamfordRicky @sk8ersmom57 @tedcruz Sure I was. Hence the specific. I was curious what common sense or reasonable law you had in mind, that helps to reduce the rate of gun acts but doesn’t infringe on the basic gun protections in the constitution. Had no gimmicks, but what have you.
