Re: MDV Idol 3: The FINALE!

congrats Ryu you did have the card for the occasion. nice write up for the ending but can we find out how many votes we got. oh one last thing the tie breaker sucked since my group was actually competitive and the others weren't.

Re: MDV Idol 3: The FINALE!

First: I saw this up and decided to read it later, so I click the link and see the top of Daz's post and look at it. "Congrats Ryu!" and sigh, where's the excitement now?

Second: The Heinz add was great, I expect stuff like that for your next commercial breaks.

Third: Whooo!

Fourth: I can't believe you went CJS on me at the end, seriously....whose idea was that?

Fifth: I'm glad I added the rarity to make it a complete card.

Re: MDV Idol 3: The FINALE!

I would've expected 3nd3r to win. Too bad, 3nd3r! Keep it up, though!
As for Ryuzaki...ehm...*tarfires him* I...oops. Sorry. Wrong spell. *casts oblivion ring, targeting him* ...I can't get the hang of these positive spells. *casts damnation* ....oh, great. I give up. Yay for Ryuzaki.

Re: MDV Idol 3: The FINALE!

To be honest with you guys, I left the votes off... well, because they sucked. I only received 13...

Ryu - 6
Tekk - 2
Shakadelic - 2
3nder - 2
YWN - 1

I guess if I were a political guy, I could have just did it poll style and said.. well, I interviewed 6 people and projected it out to 100 people. Ryu wins!

Nah, I just kept it as it was, tried to play it off like hundreds of people were actually into the competition, and when all else fails, go out with a nuclear bomb on your back

The CJS thing was just an amazing thought that came to me when I couldn't think of how to end it correctly. I figured... hell, Sparrow never got off scot free, why should Ryu?

Also, I have updated the MSS Scoreboard with the conclusion of Idol. Head over and see where you guys stand.

Re: MDV Idol 3: The FINALE!

thanks syphon but thanks to split second no, ryu deserved his card FTW. i asked before whether or not my ability would be able to work since the morph didn't use the stack and got my answer so thanks. one more question though. if i waited for you to drop the split second spell and responded to it with morph would my ability have worked??? this could only work if you were stupid enough to drop all your spells at once.

Re: MDV Idol 3: The FINALE!

@MAL: I think he's just having some illusions of grandeur...

@Tyn: Because Ryu didn't do anything wrong...maybe a few illegal things here and there... Winning was Bitter Sweet though...(couldn't resist.) Thanks everyone.

I don't have the exact wording of Split Second in front of me, so forgive me...

I think it says something like, 'Players can't add abilities to the stack while this spell is on the stack.' If that is the case, then no, it wouldn't matter. Maybe someone can read the actual wording and get a clarification for you (I am at work right now)
