General forum

Posted on Aug. 6, 2010, 11:24 p.m. by birdseed

So yeah. I'd like to work on an extended tourney deck within the next week, and I'd like people's opinion on whether they think my deck idea, furystoke-tokens, will either...

A) Beast it up! (highly unlikely)

B) Top 8 a few, but not overpower(if that made sense...)

C) Win a few, but not really do the best (What I think it is)

or D) "You thought this could actually win?" (no comment)

...so that I don't go purchasing a semi-expensive (well, expensive for me) deck only to have it suck completely.

Feedback on the deck in general is also appreciated.

Hey guys! I wanted to say that I love this community, and I wanted to start a thread to thank some people who deserve to be noticed. Obviously, I have to start by mentioning Epochalyptik and yeaGO for all of their work on the site all of the time, and helping to forge this great forum.

Some other users I want to shoutout are TheGamer for the excellent homebrews and just all around awesomeness, GoldGhost012 for his great Codex Shredder deck, fluffybunnypants for the legendary wall of quotes, and Spootyone and Apoptosis for organizing all of the great showndown articles.

Shoutout your own users and help the community grow!

I would shout out to everybody, but im afraid no one would hear due to the vast distances between us.....Perhaps I should have Nicol Bolas give me a ride?

Shout outs to: GoldGhost012 for being a cool dude and being very knowledgeable and reasonable, Rasta_Viking29 for helping me out with my first grixis deck on this site, Epochalyptik for being the best, and also being very helpful and polite despite the annoyances he puts up with on a daily basis, ThatBlueMage because he is a great dude and I like his name, and a shout out to everyone who contributes to our amazing site! there is a reason T/O is the best, and you guys are it!!!

Shoutout to VampireArmy, I hope you find your inner Dega balance :D

A lot of people have helped me with my decks, but PlattBonnay, safearus, and nosoyyucateco gave me attention when I was brand new to MtG, and truly sucked at the game =)

God-Damnit. ALSO Spootyone and Apoptosis.

You're time spent on articles is not in vain I swear, It saves me from boredom anytime at work. You two rule.

September 9, 2014 12:08 a.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #21

I can't list how many people are following me, that is far too many. I can however ... strip dance to demonstrate my appreciation of the community and as a thank you and your welcome message to everyone who appreciates my work here on the site~

Bringing the girls in here, because I like a feminine touch to things~ :D

Shout out to NotSoLuckyLydia, -KinkyPie-, PriestessKikyo1 and Ashy~

I know there are quite a few others, I just haven't actually spoken to them before so can't confirm their femininity.

September 9, 2014 1:19 a.m.

I feel obligated to give people shoutouts. But... I don't really know anybody other than Femme_Fatale. Who, incidentally, should gimme her skype because I wanna talk to her more.

I would, however, like to give a shoutout to everybody who has a duel commander decklist! Spootyone gets bonus points for having the most comments, and encouraging other people to play, and TheMillKid gets bonus points for the best deck name. Love you guys.

September 9, 2014 1:40 a.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #23

I don't use skype too much anymore because of its terrible interface. Kik or steam perhaps NotSoLuckyLydia? If not I can use skype.

September 9, 2014 1:43 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #24

If only tappedout chat wasn't so dead right?

September 9, 2014 1:45 a.m.

-Fulcrum says... #25

Gotta give a shoutout to emask. Dude's awesome.

September 9, 2014 1:52 a.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #26

That is steam VampireArmy. Other than that, it's mainly because you can't get upvotes to it, and a majority of users here don't even know that we have it. I used to be frequently on steam, however I keep it closed nowadays so I don't have to listen to my parents.

September 9, 2014 2:01 a.m.

Spootyone says... #27

Oh man. Well first off shout outs to everyone that mentioned me! You guys are awesome!

I'd like to give mention to Epochalyptik and yeaGO for the general running of this place -- special mention to Epoch for putting up with improper use of forums, and special mention to yeago for always being a cool dude whenever I have a conversation with him. Oh yeah and he made this site or something, idk :P

I should give a shout out to EAK1791 for getting me into this game and changing my life. And to my love NeoNoGlow for not only putting up with my MTG addiction, but even joining into it! (one in a million, I swear)

I want to thank vampirelazarus, Femme_Fatale, and again yeaGO for helping me derp around with HTML last night. Seriously, I need to take a course on it...

NotSoLuckyLydia for ALSO being a Duel commander player. We need to get a group together some how to have matches on Cockatrice or something from time to time.

I want to thank Apoptosis for helping me out so much with my Showdown articles as of late -- allowing me to create good content without feeling rushed. And I also want to thank blackmarker90 for his help in my new series. No way I could do it without him!

Fulcrum and RedSoxFanKy I want to thank for being awesome friends on here for quite some time and cool players to face in different formats. You guys rock!

fluffybunnypants for his wall of quotes and allowing me to partake...Ohthenoises for his uncanny ability to find the perfect gif or image for any given circumstance...gnarlicide to provide the circumstances for both of the above lol.

Hopefully I didn't miss anyone in particular. Lastly, I just want to thank everyone as a whole. I never thought I'd be doing what I'm doing here on that day that I decided to first build a deck using the site. And the overwhelming amount of support for my content and help throughout the site has been incredibly uplifting. It's YOU all who keep me coming back for more and more!

September 9, 2014 2:13 a.m.

Spootyone says... #28

Damn it! I knew I'd forget someone. You too, Snowstorm! You've been a supporter of me for a very long time and it doesn't go unnoticed. You are ALSO awesome.

September 9, 2014 2:16 a.m.

Blizzicane says... #29

Ok, now that I have been tagged into this, I'll shoutout to yeaGO for being the awesome creator of this site. Too bad we cant Progenitor Mimic him for all eternity. Epochalyptik for just being a great dude. Spootyone, who if i actually remember correctly was my first trade through the sight way back when Theros released. I don't remember what I got from you, but you got my Mistcutter Hydra . My final shoutout is more or a less a thank you to everyone for putting up with the semi heap i call a modern deck and getting it to the point where it is now.

As for deckbuilders I'd like to shout out GlistenerAgent for making my infect deck very competitive and PTQ ready and also being a great friend. I want to thank Kiora_Fan-01 for making some of the coolest homebrews I've seen in a while and also just being a cool friend.

As for awesome people, I'd like to give a shoutout to VampireArmy for the account upgrade. I'd also like to give a shoutout to TheAnnihilator. He was my first TappedOut friend from a year ago. And now we are still crushing enemies with our fantastic homebrews.

yeaGO says... #38

while the present awesome state of tappedouts community is not generally up for question, what about the past?

squire1 has been busy with life things for quite some time but he rocks

DevouringFlame was the 309th user and first person I'd consider a "power user" on the site. we never spoke directly, but his feedback kept many people coming back for more

masterpeez because Haze Frog spits on fools was a masterpiece in so many ways (the comments are great). multiple people asked me to ban him

And of course there was honeymomo who was often pink but always awesome

so many others

Apoptosis says... #39

Thanks TheAnnihilator for creating this thread, the kind words, and everyone else who gave a shoutout. There are many great people within the tappedout community and it made coming back to Magic after being out of the game for 15 years a lot of fun. It's amazing how supportive people have been in giving advice, making trades, and providing a laugh along the way. I'm really happy at being able to give back a bit too. Shoutouts to all of the great people who make tappedout special, you know who you are!
