The shoe has finally fallen (and no, I haven't been puffing on anything magic) and 9 games have been axed from the roster. This is the largest culling. The last culling only removed a couple of games, but not this much. Well, different people seem to be reacting differently and it's almost interesting to gauge their reactions.

And two people have noticed that my name is blue on the forums... someone even said that it must be really cold where I am... although I just think maybe they are just green with envy. But as Kermit the Frog sings it... it's good to be green.

I sort of played 2 B5 games today, but since my ISP has been sucking, I never got to finish either. I built a swarm NA deck which swarms rather well... but does nothing interesting. I've got to find a way to make that deck win.

I taught Spirit how to play PAD today, so hopefully, he'd be teaching that soon to the general populace. He disconnected halfway through his tour today, and was rather apologetic afterwards. Apparently some DUI guy ran into some cable and decapitated his passenger... yes, gory... and weird that Billy showed me the news item just as Spirit was talking to me about it... coincidences... probably.

Hung out in the Trading room of LotR O and shot the breeze with some of the 16 year olds... I wish the 16 year olds on CCGW could be this mature, but oh well... (and with YGO being removed, hopefully, the quality of players on gEngine would improve). Perhaps LotR is targetted at the more "mature" crowd and even the teenagers that play it try to act grown up. I think.

Oh, I got my paper LotR cards from Poland yesterday - these are the cards that I traded for 9 FastBreak cards. I just got an email today asking me if I would be willing to trade more FastBreak cards. Apparently, I'm like one of the few people, if not the only person that offers the card. And what is FastBreak, well, you best to try it out before it goes the way of Netrunner :)
