I guess that means you're going to have a very long few days/weeks/months.
This is... Its just... The words, I don't have them! This is just too good for me to describe adequately.
I agree that graphic designers create art. I also agree that a card in MTG which uses no colored mana is an artifact. My main reason for not voting is that the proof does not show a fake MTG card that was created in the "real/physical" world. It shows one created solely on the computer. I would have voted (and will if the praxis is updated later) if a card was created that could be used as a counterfeit artifact in the game.
Note: I do like the idea for the praxis, I'm just suggesting taking it that next step to creating the actual card.
Gah, don't say that word!
Indeed. There are definite intersections (such as Shakespeare's garden), but I doubt it is a complete match. Also: they went much further in distance than we did.
Why, oh WHY is this limited to one player only? I have an excellent idea for this, but I require assistance in pulling it off!
As a new player, I'm fine with updating the wiki. Though I do agree that the major source of information about the game comes from reading people's praxis, many of us new people don't know which of the over 10,000 praxis to read.
It is easy to know that there is some great history here, and having a basic overview of the history would be something I am interested in. It took me a LONG time to know what SSI was/is, and though I knew there were previous eras, I didn't know how to find praxis from earlier eras, or even what the earlier eras where for quite a while as well.
Lincoln: I will definitely take a look at those players to get an idea of how things were in previous eras, but if you hadn't posted that comment, I would have no idea that they even existed. If, in another month, someone else new comes along and they are very interested in how things were in the early days, how are they to know the players to use as an example? Are they expected to find this comment? Should they just expect that the great players, such as yourself, who intimidate them are actually nice and would freely and happily tell them what to read? I think of it as a way for us as players to expose these new players to everything that we as players who have been around for longer take for granted.
I don't expect, nor want, people to update the wiki, or talk in a forum, rather than work on their praxis. But if your sole argument against a forum or a wiki is that people will use that instead of task, then we should stop the skype chat immediately, because that is just another version of the same.
I ask the players who have been around for multiple eras to contribute, even if just on one day (not even necessarily the day of this event), what you know about the history and what you think it means to be an sf0 player to the wiki, for those of us who didn't find this game until years after it started. I don't ask you to make it a comprehensive resource, but you could at least let us know the parts you think are important for someone interested in the history of the game.
Also, take a look at any of the discussion pages on Wikipedia. It is still used in that way, but the "article" portion is on one "page" the discussion about it on another. Discussion on wiki pages is possible, and is done all over the place.
My position: if we want a sort of a "suggestions for the next era" page, then we should do it like Wikipedia, with an "article" which describes the consensus, and a "discussion" which talks about how to improve it. The discussion need not take place anywhere on the wiki, but that seems like the easiest place to put it for now. Also, if we don't put it on the wiki, then it tends to become hard to find, and thus hard to contribute to the discussion.
Uncle Sam needs you for the war on Ian clones!
Interesting story. However, you did not create it! You acquired it from E, who in turn had not ever visited Ukraine, but who also did not create it. Since it is only 15 pts, and it is a good story, I think it is worth the stretching of the rules, though.
