- yes and no, I suspect you would see a stricter system with numerical limits. Aus is often touted as a good example - the EEC would have stayed as just that, I suspect. Perhaps the EU would have formed without us, hard to know. - yup

I do not know, but Magic is not like poker where EV and optimal play is easy. You only make money if you are winning, and in a pool of decent players winning consistently is hard. It is not a classic grinding opportunity

I legitimately cannot comprehend that anyone believes that the guy committed suicide. The closest I can come is believing staff were paid off to let him do so, but I can only imagine the sorts of heads that would have rolled on his open a

Only one person can play from your library at once. So you are essentially lending the whole nintendo. The frustrating thing is just that I cannot play free games on my steam account (hi dotas) whilst lending a paid game to ma famile.

Using shares to gain control of someone elses corp and steal their stuff is an extremely old scam. Like, it was very well understood some 15 years ago. The mechanics haven't changed. I don't remember the details well, it was a l
