hi all

[A.Greenleaf]

hi the real names Aaron greenleaf. yeah i know not a very imaginative screen name.. well let me start by saying sorry for the crappy spelling, was never my strong point. now a little about my self....I've been keeping cresties for about 6 years now but on a large scale for about two years. lets see i have about 11 males, 14 females, and 12 babies. like most of us i am addicted. in addition i have 2 male dragons a pair of standings a painted turtle an African millipede and 3 cats..  the cresties are my passion but i have other things i like to do. the list of past hobbies include paint ball (to expensive so i am looking to sell the stuff)and the card game magic(i don't even play any more) . as for currant hobbies i am looking to join another ren faire  performance group i was a member of a national troop that went as far as Florida and Alabama(I'm from ct).  i work with fire, whips, and blades(as in sword fighting. i also love old cars. i love to work on them and look at them i like this forum and can't wait to see more activity on it.

Welcome pal!

I've been through the same hobbies as you! Paintball is expensive and Magic....welll the game sux now IMHO

Wow to your collection of different reptiles and animals!

[A.Greenleaf]

paintball was alot of fun, i was on a semiproffessinal team, won a couple trophies not much but fun. it was so expensive, even compaired to cresties... and i've spent some good money on some of my geckos. Magic does now suck. i have been playing since revised, and have sank probley $8,000 in to the cards, i have a large collection ranging from beta till a few years ago.  have about $5,000 in rares not including my decks... damn thats alot when you write it up and thats not including the uncommens and commens.  i have been keeping reptiles since i was about 8.  my parents are very cool about things like that. i used to breed leapord geckos but got out of it four years ago.  so this many animals is commen to me.  i don't even realize how many it is till people comment on my zoo.

i just played during school lunch and got all my cards for free  .. i ahvent playe dsince like 5 years ago, and umm i fyou asked me somehtign about the game i'd have no diea or what a rare card is or anything.

[OutL4w]

MTG can be a real money sinker, as for paintball always played in the woods, never did any competition but I can expect being semi pro to be quite expensive.

What kind of marker were you using?

[A.Greenleaf]

bob long difiant, the older model built on the bushwacker body, not as expensive as an angel but still worth its salt. i would go through a case of paint in two games.... and i was a front not a back.

[OutL4w]

That's a very good marker (never had chance to use thought, we suck in Canada for markers).  What's your most expensive card in your MTG collection?

[A.Greenleaf]

its hard to say i have a few cards worth a bit none of the power nine.  i have a couple beta cards like icy manipulator and lich but i never felt it was worth spending hundreds of dallors on one card so i never ended up with any of the overly expensive ones.  yeah the bob long difiant is crazy when you get it going right.

Welcome to the forum! Always good to see people with a lot of experience to help idiots like me  .

Wow, MTG, I haven't played that in a LOOONNGG time. But I still have the cards, I think I played for a couple of years back in the revised edition as well. I should break them out, I didn't have a great collection but had a few rares (at that time atleast)

[A.Greenleaf]

i used to be called the local guru .. i have some killer decks but theres no one to play any more none of my friends are around to play either.

[HzRdS]

Yeah, I'd definitely break out the cards if there was someone around to play.

[Liz]

i would too if someone taught me to play again 

[HzRdS]

Very true, I don't know if I remember all the rules 

[monster]

wow, kinda the last thing i expected to hear about again was MTG! i got a ton of cards for free when it became "uncool" to play and that's how i learned, off horrible 1/1 creature desks. i brought some of those decks to life again when i lived with 4 other guys. we'd have delisious beer and cheesy game night every tuesday. everyone's moved out of that house now, but we still get togeather when a few of us are in town and try and hash out these new crazy rules. now though, i think we just make it up ah, it's still fun, even though we don't really know what we're doing.
