yes, and we can try and get games together here too!!!


#2 of 109 by gerund on Sun Jan 15 21:38:57 1995:

Could someone enter a slight overview of this?
I've heard a lot about this, but I know nothing myself.
Thanks.

SUre, you are a sorcer....you have certian powers, and energy...
they are all int eh "deck" that you play with....you draw cards, and try and 
get rid of all the life points your opponoent has!


#4 of 109 by anne on Sun Jan 15 21:44:14 1995:

Right, all players start with twenty life, and the goal is to remove all of
your opponents life, while keeping your own...



#5 of 109 by sun on Sun Jan 15 21:46:58 1995:

And you deck is 60+ cards, depending on how you want to play


#6 of 109 by anne on Sun Jan 15 22:01:12 1995:

I've been told that 100 hundred or so is good, and that if you can't shuffle
all your cards in one hand then you have too many

There were some kids playing that Magic game with the cards and junk yesterday
in the library.  It looked pretty cool, but then I came in and beat them up and
stole their cards and money.  


#8 of 109 by gerund on Sun Jan 15 22:24:26 1995:

Avi... you you... you ganster you.


#9 of 109 by avi on Sun Jan 15 22:26:31 1995:

Okay.  I lied. hee hee! No one has to know.  I just stood there
and watched them wondering what the hell was going on.
Then the teacher bitched at me.

At my school there's this room called Bodley Hall, and in this place
big greasy people play Magic Cards.  I myself never found any appeal
in spending lots of money to buy these things and then trade them
away, a guy I know makes hundreds of dollars dealing magic cards.  whoo whoo.
There's my take.  


#11 of 109 by morgayn on Mon Jan 16 16:24:52 1995:

At first I got into it because I was given just multitudes of cards and I was
going to sell them, but then I just started playing, and I liked it. It is a
fun game, especially when you play nifty people. :)


#12 of 109 by anne on Mon Jan 16 19:50:14 1995:

I agree with melly!  I like playing with her!!



#13 of 109 by morgayn on Thu Jan 19 15:37:03 1995:

I like playing with Anne, too...but she ALWAYS seems to somehow get the upper
hand...   ;)


#14 of 109 by anne on Fri Jan 20 03:35:55 1995:

Well that's only cause you let me play with your deck...
<anne thinks that this could be interpreted very badly...>



#15 of 109 by face on Sat Jan 21 19:46:11 1995:

Oh the thoughts I am haviong right now.


#16 of 109 by cyberpnk on Mon Jan 23 18:02:07 1995:

<struggling heroically NOT to laugh or make the obvious response>


#17 of 109 by morgayn on Mon Jan 23 20:32:20 1995:

<morg cannot believe her eyes....>
How do things always seem to get interpreted in such a fashion?
<morg giggles>
Well, let's see here, Anne, having a Lord of the Pit, I think you can handle
playing with your OWN deck....
<morg bursts into laughter>


#18 of 109 by face on Mon Jan 23 23:15:36 1995:

What's wrong with you people, and your insane depravity
<Alex goes of into a corner and...oh nevermind>


#19 of 109 by anne on Tue Jan 24 03:52:59 1995:

Melly- this is true, I'm more familiar with my cards- now I just need
some help in building a good deck...

<Anne grins>



#20 of 109 by face on Tue Jan 24 20:04:33 1995:

I think there's cream you can get for that
<Alex contains his smile>


#21 of 109 by morgayn on Thu Jan 26 18:11:15 1995:

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
Melly is selling her entire, YES ALL of her magic cards. Cash and checks only
will be accepted. Wh{ile doing some personal cleansing, Melly discovered
that Magic took too much time away from things she should have been doing, and
since she lacks the will-power to stop it, she must rid herself of it. Let me
know what cards y'all are interested in acquiring, and I will give you my price
list. Anne, I think we can work out some special sort of deal...


#22 of 109 by gerund on Thu Jan 26 18:14:38 1995:

I want to be the first to say this:  I saw this coming!!  I DID!!!
I don't know where I got the idea, but somewhere along the line of
hearing about Melly's magic cards I had the feeling she was going to get rid of
them or sell them.  Strange, huh?


#23 of 109 by anne on Thu Jan 26 21:30:15 1995:

Melly- you know that you have some cards I want (maybe most of that deck
you let me use... )  We'll talk later, okay?



#24 of 109 by morgayn on Fri Jan 27 18:53:13 1995:

Gerund, could it be because we talked about it a WHILE ago?
Ya big ol' dink!  *tousles silly Gerald's hair*
Alrighty then, Anne, you let me know...


#25 of 109 by anne on Fri Jan 27 21:54:07 1995:

Alrighty then!!  <anne grins>



#26 of 109 by gerund on Fri Jan 27 22:26:03 1995:

HEY!!! you weren't.... oh bother.
Yeah... could be.  :)


#27 of 109 by brighn on Sat Jan 28 06:07:29 1995:

You can't buy magic... it must come from within.

Oops, wrong kind of magic.  :)


#28 of 109 by anne on Sun Jan 29 01:23:43 1995:

Yeppers... wrong kind of magic!  S'okay though, we still love you brighn!!!



#29 of 109 by brighn on Sun Jan 29 05:17:20 1995:

<blush>  Aw, gee, Anne... really?
I feel so loved.


#30 of 109 by anne on Sun Jan 29 05:23:16 1995:

Really!!! Would *I* lie to you???



#31 of 109 by brighn on Sun Jan 29 07:28:20 1995:

Hmmmm.... I'd hope not.  IT would shatter my perception of
reality, and everything within it... I would lose all faith in
humankind...

Unless, of course, you told me you were lying.
But, then, could I believe you when you said you were lying, and
maybe that part was a lie...

<brighn cries>

 :)


#32 of 109 by face on Sun Jan 29 18:12:45 1995:

I refuse to buy magic cards.
Im too cool for them.
<Alex runs and hides cause he knows hes gonna get his butt beat for that one>


#33 of 109 by bhelliom on Sun Jan 29 21:13:56 1995:

Okay, sun.  WHat am I.   And I'm watching you and know where you live,
so don't be funny.
<syl winks>.


#34 of 109 by anasazi on Tue Feb 21 01:48:43 1995:

when i get in teh mood to play, bu ti have to play with the right people.
it is very expensive to play bu tthan again every game or sport can get expense


#35 of 109 by anne on Tue Feb 21 14:12:33 1995:

#36 of 109 by zuber on Sun Mar 19 04:26:39 1995:

I can say I have played :)


#37 of 109 by anne on Sun Mar 19 19:29:02 1995:

I can say that too, and I think I will... "I have played Magic: the Gathering"
<anne laughs>



#38 of 109 by dang on Tue Mar 21 02:18:56 1995:

I have not and will not.  I need my money for college, and computers, and
whatnot.


#39 of 109 by bhelliom on Tue Mar 21 18:00:12 1995:

Money for college. . .Dan is there a tree you picking the money from? Let me
know. Hmm. . .I don't think anyone that truly knows me could see me as an RA,
but I'm applying to be one for next year.
