No, but it's probably about as rare nearly anywhere. :smalltongue:

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Olde, I don't drink alcohol, nor smoke.
However, coffee...

I don't smoke, either. Did you need it to be 3/3 to count? :smalltongue:

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Come on, guys! :smalltongue: It isnt a competition. I dont drink alcohol or smoke or drink coffee because of my addictive nature. When you can get addicted* to chess you know you have to be careful, especially considering that one of three were involved in the death of a few of my family members.
By addicted, I mean the kind where you stop caring about sleeping or eating or school.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
If you got that addicted to chess, I hope you never start optimizing in D&D 3.5 =p

Awww.. but having new optimizers is fun, it means we get to bring out the paddles:smallfrown:
More seriously, yeah if you can actually get addicted to Chess I would be very careful with most Geek-ish hobbies (TCG, wargaming, rpgs), in my experience most if not all of them have certain degree of addictivity.

^I do play yugioh and currently own 6 different decks. XD
Still, something good came out of my addiction. I got a new chessboard after winning a school tournament. That let me use the phrase "Me volvi adicto al ajedrez y lo unico que obtuve fue este tablero."

For non-spanish speaking readers, the phrase means "I got addicted to chess and the only thing I got was this [chess] board".
I used to play yu gi oh when I was in primary school; but I lost my cards and instead of returning to Yu gi, I got into magic; but my cards got stolen a few months back... I don't have any luck wit TCG..

I played Magic and Pokémon back in school. Nowadays I just play Game of Thrones, but it's a LCG.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
What is LCG? I assume a deckbulding game.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
I don't smoke either! In fact, I am REALLY happy about the fact that people can no longer smoke in closed public places. You know... since I'm severely allergic to cigarette smoke. I also don't like most alcoholic beverages. Like tequila. Can't stand the stuff. And beer I outright hate.
But coffee? Coffee is good for you!

I played Yu-gi-oh as well, but it became too expensive of a Hobby and I didn't have anyone to play with pretty soon.
I never got rid of the cards, but there's no point in bringing them out anymore these days: I played with a friend last year, using his deck, and I noticed that the cards have gotten extremely powerful in newer releases. My old deck doesn't stand a chance. =/

Eh.. it is kinda annoying if you have smoking friends (like I do), you either have to halt conversation while other people are on smoke-break or you have to accompany them; but in general I am happy of that particular law.

Yeah, I am kind of sad that normal monster are all but useless in the current game, now I feel like a grognard and have the urge to say "In my day we didn't have these fancy tuner cards, we had normal monsters and we liked it!" :shakes cane in the air:

Funnily enough, during the last format there was a extremely powerful deck that used normal type monsters. XD
Anyway, in this format Xyz are the law.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Xyz are those cards with black outline and that instead of sending the monster used to summon the XYZ to the graveyard you stack them and then sacrifice them to activate effects right?
-
Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Yep, that is also the reason to be building a dinosaur deck. There are a couple of really cheap dinosaur requiring Xyz.
My brother recently bought a card just for its name in spanish. "La Morena Penetrante" I do wonder how they let that name slip to the spanish version.

:smallsigh: probably they just used an online translator... BTW it is called Piercing Moray in English... though I do have to agree it is difficult to translate without making an innuendo of it.

LCG (living card game) is a non-randomized card game. You buy the core set, expansions, stuff like that. No rare cards and the like, no boosters. Otherwise, very similar to Magic and the like.

Just to be clear, the only difference is that every expansion "booster" is the same, you still can mix and match cards from different sets? Because that sounds interesting to say the least.

That's pretty much it, yeah.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
That sounds cool... I wonder if they have them at my FLGS.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Hello, peoples in the playground!
I'm from São Paulo, Brazil!

Hi, welcome to our little corner in the playground. :smallbiggrin:

Welcome lorddrake to our army community that soon will invade and conquer the playground is dedicated to us fellow South Americans (and Mexico) in the playground.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Does it bug anyone else that the word "America" is used to refer to only one country instead of all the "Americas"? I mean... I always have seen that word used for the whole of the continent. "Colón descubrió América" (Columbus discovered America). And I'm pretty sure he didn't just go and "discover" one country, but really, the whole continent.

Nah. It used to, but it stopped bothering me a long time ago.
It's just easier to refer to it as America. "The United States" doesn't roll off the tongue. I usually don't refer to it as America, but I understand where they're coming from.
