Time to be the FBI and put down this Waco cult. With me will be some of the greatest failed revolutionaries, who are: THe farmers in the WHisky rebellion Mullah Mohammed Omar (taliban leader) Guy Fawkes Tim: Oh, wait, the whisky rebellion people are too drunk, and they passed out. and Mullah Mohammed Omar is hiding somewhere in Kandahar. (Maybe something will have happened to him by the time this is posted.) Looks like it's just me and Guy Fawkes. Fawkes: Blow up Archetypes!!! Like I tried to blow up the parliment building!! Just a little gunpowder, and POOF!! No more Feraligatr!! Tim: Okay, whatever you say. Now, it is claimed that people are afraid to let go of their current archtypes. Fawkes: They are, but I can just blow up the Archtypes!! Tim: Actually, they aren't. People find what decks work the best, and play them until a new set comes out, and they have to change their decks again. People aren't afraid to leave, they just don't because they are winning with what they have. Fawkes: But it's fun to blow things up... Tim: Ooh, a revolutionary deck. And not a very good one, at that. Fawkes: Oh my God!! I think I'm gonna blow this thing up!! Look at it, it's drawing is one Cleffa!! Not to mention the fact that it has no Gust, Lass, Garbage run, or other stuff. Smoochum!!! AHHH!! Evil! Burn! Wow. Well, here we go. (puts gunpowder keg by the deck and lights the fuse.) Tim: Oh good god, you're gonna kill us both!! (hides behind a table which has been turned over.) BANG!!! Cards scatter everywhere. Tim: Hah!! caught you! (proudly holds the Cleffa from the deck) And you, and you, and you, and you. (grabs the four focus bands.) Finally, I can have two modified decks together at once. Cool. Looks like most of the cards in the deck burned. Luckily, there weren't any Igglies in the deck that were destroyed. Fawkes: Hehe, it's burning. Fun. Tim: Wait, what does it say here? No such thing as real evolution? I know this has nothing to do with pokemon, but being as opposed to some religious right policies as I am, I can't let this one slip by. Fawkes: What's evolution? Tim: You are executed before it's discovered. Fawkes: Oh. Tim: Seriously, how can you say evolution isn't real. If you want proof it exists, see: A. My biology textbook B. Almost any scientist alive. C. The Pope. (At least I think he recognizes evolution is real. No reason he wouldn't, he has admitted the rest of the creation story isn't real.) And, to wooper... It can be good in some situations, but it's biggest problem is that benching ends the Amnesia effect. Something with free retreat is useless to be amnesiad, other stuff can be switched, double gusted... whatever. Fawkes: I wonder what it would be like to blow up a wooper. Tim: You're really scaring me. Oh, and about Napoleon... He wasn't really a revolutionary. He did have a coup to take over, but that was when coups happened about every few months. (I said this because I just took a test on the French Revolution.) Wait, Guy, what are you doing?? NO!! THAT'S MY TYPHLOSION DECK YOU MORON!! NOOOOOOOO!!! (dives in and pulls the deck out of the blast reach just in time.) I'm out of here, Fawkes, to the time machine... It really gets irratating being with people from the past. Seriously, Archetypes aren't this evil menace that must be eliminated. They're just the products of good players finding the best decks. -Tim E- mail me at Victreebel29@juno.com -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://mymail.juno.com
