The Daily Shot: Why Mark Rosewater Ignored My Lance (Oh Yeah, And A Prerelease Report)

So I’m walking around some event and I see Mark Rosewater. Of course I march right up to him and whip out my Lance. He gives me a funny look, like he doesn’t understand why I’m showing him my Lance.
“Care to explain this?” I say, holding the Lance closer so that he can view it.”It’s bent,” he responds, shrugging his shoulders. I’m a little miffed at him ignoring the more obvious issue – the fact that my Lance is underpowered.

The Hidden Battle: The Wachter Deck In Extended?

Randy Buehler, says,”You have no idea how happy we were when you won that tournament with Battle of Wits. When we made the card, we were like, ‘This is a card that won’t look like much – but someone will win a tournament with it, other people will try it and lose, and that’ll be about it.'” They were wrong.

Back With A Vengeance

The fact that our front page now takes less than twenty seconds to load wouldn’t generally considered a triumph. But our database servers are finally going full-speed, and heck if the front page doesn’t load in .88 seconds by my watch! Yee and haw.

Also, anyone wanna scroll down and plug a card into our new”Ask The Virtual Judge” program? Thought so. Try it; it’s way cool.

Oh yeah; do me a favor and check the articles that are further down the page, too. They’re well worth your time.

StarCity’s Down, And We’re Not Happy About It Either

Unfortunately,
folks, while we’re switching database servers,
the portion of our site that serves up all
the nifty articles and whatnot will be down
until Wednesday – which means that it’ll
probably be more like Thursday, given our
server guy. Until then, feel free to order
from our cart, and accept our sincerest
delays.

The
good news: After all of this is said and
done, the slooooow delays in getting StarCity
to load should be over – and allow us to
move into Phase Two of all the nifty things
we’ll be offering come the end of July.
Huzzah!

SPECIAL
ADDITIONAL NOTE: You may or may not be able
to access old articles at this time, but
I left the links at the top and to the side
active anyway. Feel free to browse; at the
time I wrote this, I could access yesterday’s
updates and the writer archives, but not
the Tech centers. Experiment at your own
risk; remember, we’re in the middle of a
mess. (Sorry about the mess.)
