Well....I spent almost $400 today ordering everything that I've missed and don't have since I stopped playing over two years ago. The last chapter packs that I purchased were the Winter and Summer packs from Gencon 2008! WOW! My wallet is very sad today. I don't think I'll ever be able to play competititively again, but hopefully I'll get to play with some of my old friends again. We'll see....

DUDE!!!! AWESOME!! :D

Good to have you back, kind ser.

My evening just got much better!

After beating you in fantasy football and fantasy baseball, I figured it was only a matter of time until you came back to this game to continue your lifelong dominance over me!

I really, really need to show this to my wife.

Glad to see you back playing.

Why? So she can know how much you spend on this stuff....NO man step away from the computer, you'll ruin your life!! She....can...never...know.....

Thing is, she kinda *does* know how much I spend on it. I want her to know how much *others* spend on it, so she'll be glad she's married to me instead of, say, Mathlete. So yeah, I kinda went about this card game stuff the wrong way. Instead of being upfront about it, I should've purchased my cards in secrecy and led her to believe I'm spending all the dough on hookers. I'm guessing that way she'd been way more forgiving.

That's my BOY!

I knew you couldn't quit us

See you at Kubla for your unveling?

Awesome. Welcome back. Math-4-eva. Hit me up on GTalk ([email protected]) or on Facebook if you want to get some games on OCTGN or something.

Ratatoskr said:

Oh man, I hear that. Hobbies are expensive! You can also point out that you're not a mathlete, and that's gotta count for something...

Welcome back. I just don't see you as being the anti-competitive type, but I hope it works for you.

Awesome - if Bruno is back, can we bring his Plot back too?

Stag Lord said:

Yeah - but Bara can actually exploit it pretty nicely as well. It would hose the Martells though.

ktom said:

Lannister, Greyjoy, and Stark too

Also more balanced than that silly card called Venomous Blade.

Martell would get a good hosing. Bara could avoid much of it.

<<Commence Happy Dance>>

Time to break those cards in!

Welcome back buddy.

Bruno's back and you're gonna be in trouble
(Hey-la-day-la Bruno's back)
You see him comin' better cut out on the double
(Hey-la-day-la Bruno's back)

Welcome back!

I don't think there's ever been a better time in the LCG to return to the game. The environment is diverse and fun, and the metas as a whole seem to be growing.

I will die if I spend $400 dollar at a time for this.

Thanks everyone for the warm wishes and sentiment. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Welcome back. Not that Jen and I play much anymore but we're both really looking forward to seeing you around sometime.

One of us!

One of us!

One of us!

One of us!

Does that mean that the other retirees among us need to shell out some money and start playing again?
