Sinij has been banned as a gift to Steam users and to generally support Steam.
Don't say I never did anything for you all.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Joyous Kwanzaa, Happy New Year.

The whole site. Permaban. I'm not big on making bannings public, but this was community service, imo.

Three people have asked me on Steam in the last 3 minutes what game I would want as my gift:
DO NOT BUY GAMES ON MY WISHLIST. I DO NOT WANT THEM. THEY ARE JUST THERE FOR THE VALVE GIVEAWAYS.
Instead, if you have Magic cards, you can send them to me. Yea, I just said that, again, in another forum and another thread.
Seriously, don't you fucking buy me a Steam game, I own 300 or something, I don't need more. In fact, if I win "every game" on Steam, I may ask if I can give it away on f13 because giving it to me would be stupid.

I have some 4th edition cards I've kept in plastic holders since 7th grade.
Any of those something you might want?
Just list some stuff you might need from that and I'll look.

So I guess my planned lobbying effort to unban windupathiest just so that he had someone to play with is now moot?

The sinij ban was my own choice, completely independent of anything said by any staff member.
The Windupatheist ban had zero to do with me, but I didn't say no.
You putting the two together to create some shitstorm is just weird. But yea, while that may have been funny, it's sort of irrelevant now.

He wasn't banned, he rage quite the forum (though I guess the stuff he said leaving probably also got him a ban). Then again, he already did that once before! Are 4th edition cards finally worth something? I remember when I got in, that was the edition that was out (and what I got a bunch of) but none of them seemed to gain any value unlike all the alpha/beta/revised editions before it. |

I should really get my beta cards valued. I'm sure the basic lands aren't worth shit, but hmm....I have very few expansion cards, so 90% of my cards are unlimited or older. I have lots of black borders is all I'm sayin'.

They're not only worth nothing (4th edition), but there's nothing of note in the entire set, hence why I am having Paelos check. I don't actually care about the value of something if I need it. I do stupid things like riffle shuffle my Imperial Recruiters and foil 7th Edition Birds. I'll riffle shuffle a $4,000 deck, I don't care. 4th edition is just a unique snowflake in that I can't even trade any of it away if I wanted.
Slack, you're a lawyer, what are some Magic cards going to net you? You should really just donate it all to f13 and if I sell any of it it'll go to the server.

I second this interpretation. Thank you, dear forum leader  Does this mean slog is 'on notice'? |

They are in fact 4th edition, as I suspected.
I guess that means they are worthless.

No he was banned by me Initially it was a temp ban for fucking up the Battleship thread and then it was a perma-ban when he decided to nuke the bridges. |

Whereas Geldon was not.

Basic islands from beta can be worth a few bucks.... $4 an island per Anycraze. If you want to check values, there are a few sites to do it at (anycraze.com or starcitygames.com, or Schild probably has a better link as he's an active trader). Beta anything has some value as it is demanded by the crazy collector types. Some sites/stores buy collections. The problem is that you'll see a fraction of your value unless you piece it out yourself, or it's BIG stuff like Power Nine. DON'T EVEN THINK OF LETTING YOUR KID/S PLAY WITH THEM IF THEY GET INTO CCGS. I've seen more old cards get trashed, lost, or traded away for nothing than I care to comment on. That being said, I've been sending my old stuff/non-nostalgia stuff to Schild as I'd rather it went to a good home then sat in my closet waiting for the day my water heater explodes or something. On the other things: I was kind of surprised that WUA came back after the first time he was chased away by the name change to "WindUpNutsack", but he was a solid and constructive poster for a while after his return. I always get worried when noticeably worse behaved posters go away, as I can be an asshole for no particular reason for periods of time. Honestly, next time make it a ban for dollars as a server fund-raiser. I suggested it with Geldon, and I still think it's a good idea. |

Man, Broughden was banned 2 years ago. He tried to get all his money back from the PayPal subscription and claimed that I gave him nothing. I showed PayPal the sign up page. They sided with me.

Sand is now banned. I think Arthur Parker might have to turn his title over to MuffinMan now.

I thought he was just taking a break. Link to post? As for sinij, I guess he should have taken his own advice.  I never got into magic, so I don't have any cards. Sorry schild. |

Ok, was Sand actually Broughden (like, you tracked him by IP address or something and know for sure)? Or are we just running with the assumption?

I guess this is why I don't post in the politics forum or bother people on Steam? Although, as someone who never visits the politics forum, I'm often clueless about why, exactly, people are getting banned. C'est la vie.

So, what would be the cheapest way to get a small sized packet to you from Europe, Schild? I really don't think my old cards (started with Ice Age, quit soon afterwards) would be worth much of a postage, but if there is any way to get it to you for cheap they are yours.

Hit me up on Steam (we can find out relatively quickly if it's worth the postage).
