    posted a message on FAST LEGEND TEMPO MAGE 90% Win

    You can play Antonidas on turn 7 without playing additional spells on purpose to put a big threat on the board. Often times you need to play him like this because A: they leave him alone and they die, or B: they kill him, use up too much resources to do it, and they die anyways. You play him purposely when you know scenario B is going to happen because you know you will win or gain a large advantage.

    posted a message on "Thanks" received on hearthpwn?

    I just looked at my profile for probably the first time ever and saw this little section that says I have 48 thanks received. But I have no idea what I did! I do like to help people so it would be nice to know what exactly I did because I don't really remember doing much to help people on here since I'm just another scrub lol. But uh...yea...is there any way I can see why a person thanked me? Like a link to the thread or something?

    I attacked with a minion and killed one of theirs, then I pulled out my living roots spell before the secret went off.

    Bruh, chill. You should see the garbage you open in a booster box of Magic: the Gathering.

     I wonder how well it compares. How many boxes of boosters would you have to buy to make a tier 1 tournament deck in standard? I'm gonna say you could just spend $500 on individual cards. Could you spend 500 on boxes and get all those cards across 3-4+ different sets? I'm guessing not lol. If you spent 500 in HS you could probably build almost every deck. Damn, I guess HS is cheap compared to MTG lol.

    posted a message on Secret trigger forcing to pick an option?

    Just had a secret trigger while I was getting ready to click the 2 damage for living roots, the two options dissapeared, and then after the secret went away I spawned the two 1/1's. I even refrained from clicking the secret card that pops up (you knw cuz you can click it to make the animation go faster) just in case that would somehow cause the game to click the wrong one. Well, despite not clicking at all it did end up choosing obviously. Anyone else ever have this happen?

    Inb4 all the responses say "naw dawg you clicked and you're too dumb to realize it!" my mouse is extremely loud, and clicking with it isn't something you can do and not realize you did it. I'm sitting here now trying to find a way to "barely" click it or do it very softly and it's just not happening. As soon as that secret popped up I froze. I didn't click an option.

    I don't normally like calling people out here, but I think it's important to know that Halfast is not really a sociologist as he claims, and his advice should not be taken as if he is one. He just sent me a series of disturbing private messages claiming that OP is a mentally unstable social predator, and when I asked him for evidence for his dangerous claims, he turned on me, and implied that since I love him so much I should go on a date with him.

    Just thought y'all should know. 

     Apparently I'm climbin' in yo windows, snatchin' yo people up! Tryna rape em'. Besides, a sociologist isn't a psychologist. Though I would think they should have some decent understanding of psychology to help them understand why people act the way they do when put under certain social, economic, and such situations. He's not a psychologist. This reminds me of my psych professor I had. He had ADHD. He said he had an extremely bad memory because of it. As do I! I don't know why though but hey, you made me remember that so I'll look that up too lol. My long term memory is retardedly good, so good that I have to make sure I don't bring up things people wouldn't remember so I don't seem weird (but not so good that I remember what I wore and ate on some such date and time blah blah) but my short term memory is practically non existent. 
    Regardless, I don't know what he thinks. Does this look like some elaborate ruse? lol. You've all been had! In reality I'm a hot dude that hits the club every night and brings home 3 beautiful women at a time for marathon sex sessions and I'm here to laugh at all you hearthstone playing nerds! Do you even lift brah?

    I'm no professional but I happen to know something about the subject at hand, from personal experience, unfortunately.

     

     Thank you kind sir. I'll definitely look it up. A lot of my improvement came from reflecting upon my past and just remembering how things were. I guess for the longest time I just felt like people hated me for no reason. Like maybe I was just ugly or something. And realizing that yea, I was missing out on social skills due to never learning them, and a myriad of other things, they really helped me. You talked about confidence. I gained a lot from being married for sure. Well, maybe not confidence per se, maybe more like "welp, I found my life partner I don't really care about anybody else whatsoever." It's kind of similar to confidence but it's not. But yea, I think I have been gaining more. As a kid, people would just look at me and hate me. Like, sure at school everyone knew to hate me. But if I went to another town, the instant kids saw me they would gather their friends to come attack me (literally I fought bullies weekly at school and even in other areas, lucky for me I'm 6'1'' and a giant lmao. Also took karate with my mom so I never got beat up...wooo lucky me. I guess things could have been worse). And then again when I joined the military, instant hatred from people and I just thought this new fresh start would erase that. But now people don't hate me instantly. They seem a little off put sometimes, or they don't get wtf I'm saying, but I haven't had someone just straight up dislike me instantly in a couple years. 
    This reminds me of something (the part where people don't get what I'm saying.) So my father used to be one of those guys who manages money for rich folks. I guess this business requires tons of social skills. When I watch my dad interact with people, I swear to fucking god I feel like he's a magician. I can remember being in the exact situation he's in, and saying the same words he did, and yet he gets completely different reactions. It really blows my mind how he can talk to people, it's almost like he has mind control. I guess that's just my perspective on something thats perfectly normal lol. Unfortunately I did not grow up with my dad so I didn't get any of that. It's funny we were talking about my moms side of the family. I was always the odd one out in the family. But in recent times when they visited they were awkward as hell. My dad said they were always like that, like they were all loners or scared to talk. I guess part of my problem comes from being taught social skills by them!  Or maybe it's genetic I don't know. 
    Anyways thanks for the tips! Very helpful social anxiety seems to fit better at least from the 2 paragraphs I've read about it so far. It's interesting that its different from regular anxiety. My wife has friends who have anxiety and they get severe attacks and that just doesn't sound fun at all =(

    posted a message on Social skills?

    I'm 29 lol. I'm also married with a child. Actually, in terms of my social skills, getting married contributed to about 95% of the increase that I have had. Compared to when I was a teenager I'm so much better, and yet compared to normal people I still suck lol. I even got in a bit of trouble at work because some guy gave me some advice to do something more efficient, I said "oh thanks!" and he took it as me brushing him off and he disappeared and reported me.... wtf? lol. 

    I was in the military for 6 years. It helped a little with being social. But mostly I was singled out as a weirdo piece of shit because of my lack of people skills. It was a pretty bad time for me as well. 

    So I left the military, and i'm currently working retail and talk to customers every day. Also I talk to people in class. But I'm still so damn awkward. I spend most of my free time learning. I'm studying physics. I've been lifting weights in the gym, learning about all that. I follow politics (more like social structures, psychology, sociology, science and all the things that I feel pertain to politics....except for following exactly which politician said what and voted for what). 

    I'd say I'm moving forward with life in precisely the correct manner in which to live a happy and successful life. It's just that all these 29 years, being social has been a plague for me. When my phone rings? It scares the fucking shit out of me. Doorbell? oh god. I have to go talk to the friendly lady at the front desk so she can change something on my pay stub? I'm nervous the whole way there. Why? For no god damn reason and it never goes away! lol. Talk to the teacher after class for something important? I might just not talk to them at all because I get too damn scared. Though most of the time I force myself to do it, and my heart is pounding and I can barely keep myself from shaking. It's not so bad working at retail though. People ask me questions, I smile, answer and they are on their way. It's almost like there's no pressure. Sometimes I can even ask them personal questions and they are so happy to talk to me it's unbelievable. Then again, lots of customers are nut jobs who will talk to anybody lol.

    Make friends in college? Nope, that doesn't happen lol. I can talk to classmates, and I make an effort to do so. But it doesn't go anywhere. It's not like I want to make friends. The only reason I try to make my social skills better is because they are necessary for living a better life, getting the things you want. It's not what you know, but who you know. I feel like I'll never know anyone though. Social skills are like computer instructions to me. I have to memorize each and every situation and the proper reaction for them. So I'm okay when you say "good morning." But when you say "hey man, good morning" it fucks my whole world up and I have to stop and think for a couple seconds "wtf? what does that mean?!?!?" and I look stupid and then respond 4 seconds later like "oh good morning!" lol it's silly. People think I'm dumb as hell too. Like literally people think I'm an oafish dunce. They explain things to me that I understand instantly over and over like I'm a child. It's not until the find out that I worked on avionics on aircraft and that I'm studying physics and that I'm a science nut and I'm actually smarter than them, that they stop treating me like I'm retarded. And although someone might explain something to me as if I'm dumb, I can tell them that I understand perfectly, but they just don't believe me and they do it anyways. It's all because of my social skills. They have improved, by a lot...a whole lot. But damn, they still suck and I see it every day. 

    I'm not trying to say that I actually am on the autism spectrum. I still think it's all due to my shitty childhood. But it interests me a lot in a psychology mindset because it would indicate that social skills are learned at a very early age and it's difficult to recover from missing that part of your development. It's similar to children who never learn to speak. They can improve in many ways but their speach portion of the brain simply never develops and it cannot develop after a certain age (look up feral children.) But if I indeed was on the autism spectrum, it would at least explain some things. Though I don't fit into half of the details about it. It's only the social stuff that explains me so perfectly. The rest like repetitiveness and being sensitive to noises isn't me at all. 

    The only upside to all of this, is that once people DO get to know me (usually forced to through work) they like me. Like in the military, only the people who worked directly with me every day liked me, and we hung out all the time. My last year of high school I moved to a new state, and for some reason I had friends there too. (poor people were more accepted over there.) But I joined the military as soon as I graduated because I didn't see any future for myself if I didn't. But that last year of high school was nice, even though I was awkward and weird, for some reason kids in that school were very nice to eachother and I had a nice time. So I do know I can make friends.....but only if they care to get to know me. It's that short term, initial "interview" phase that makes people not like me or think I'm weird or whatever it is that they think. I don't know. Even some of the guys I worked with in the military said they initially hated me though they couldn't remember why. Meh, it's my life. I am definitely friendly and I'm a nice person. I'm an atheist and have been told by religious folks that I'm still going to heaven because I'm such a good person lol. I'm not tooting my horn, I'm just saying I'm not some crazy bastard or anything (I KILL you!) so it's not like people are put off by that. It's just my body language or something.

    That reminds me of this cat whisperer show. He helps settle disputes between cats in a household. Basically one cat is usually disabled, especially in the tail area. The disabled cat is lacking communication ability, and the other cat has no idea what the disabled cat is "saying" therefore they are extremely violent towards them. So the cat whisperer guy fixes it somehow I don't know. The point is body language is a part of social skills and that is a new discovery for me. I'm brand new to that one and have no idea wtf I'm doing there. Oh well. At least I'm married now ^_^

    Because I'm a human being and wished to reach out. But I knew it was a long shot in the first place, there is no humanity on the internet =D Also I see other completely random, non hearthstone related stuff in general forum, so that's why I decided to post. Also I'm poor, have no healthcare, and probably won't until I die so I might as well get my feelings out there. I know I shouldn't be having those kinds of things, as I should be a robot but hey, I haven't gotten any cyborg implants yet, give me a break ^_^

    posted a message on Social skills?

    I read this post on facebook from a page about people with disabilities (my sister has downs syndrome so I'm always interested in the welfare of disabled people) and it was about a guy who has autism and wasn't diagnosed until he was an adult. He wrote a mock letter to his primary school teachers saying what he would have said if he had his current ability to communicate as a child. Well some of the things he said rung a bell for me, so I started looking up autism stuff and I took a couple quizzes that say "you maybe should see a professional to be actually diagnosed." Basically my score was that I may be on the spectrum.

    But wait....there's more! 

    While I have felt like a social outcast for my entire life, and that I have never had social skills whatsoever and social interaction is extremely hard for me, I've always attributed it to something else. Basically, I grew up piss poor, wearing the same dirty smelly shitty clothes every day for years on end. I was hated by everyone and I never had a friend growing up. I was chastised by all students and even teachers sometimes. Though I was always quiet and kept to myself. What I learned about autism is they often are loud and act out due to being unable to communicate. So I feel like all of my social problems are just a result of having a crappy childhood and not autism. I'm still piss poor and can't see a doctor or anything. I don't expect to have money until I finish school lol. 

    I never thought about or knew much at all about autism until today and I just thought it was crazy that parts of it related perfectly to me. I know you guys aren't doctors and the standard answer is "go see a professional" but cmon, humor me for christ sake. Maybe you know people who had a similar situation as me and it's easy to see that it's just a bad childhood scenario. I hope so! I work hard every day trying to improve my social skills, it's just so damned hard. I feel like social skills are something you have to build the foundation of early in life, and if you don't then you'll never be able to get that foundation and instead everything you do learn will be built upon sand, and thats how I feel  for sure.

    I could go into detail about the specific things that plague me, but I won't bore you with a post that's already too long. Yall have a good'n y'hear?

    Thanks for the replies. Here's my new deck that I made after taking what you all say into consideration.

    http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/370172-blah-blah-control

    I added the shredders for another sticky midgame minion. Doomhammer because it's useful for burst and for clearing small guys/adding that last bit of damage ona minion I cannot easily clean off the board. I took out a second BGH because I'm hoping that the extra sticky midgame will be better equipped to deal with the ridiculous number of late game bombs they have. No more rumbling elementals though  =( I suppose they werent that amazing but they were pretty useful vs aggro. I'm guessing my aggro matchups are going to be worse now.
