how they haven't been arrested yet is baffling, if they know their names faces and other shit, how do they not have addresses and shit?
if they've gone on the run then that's fricking insane over some cardboard, although clearly sanity is lacking in this case
I just said it was their plan, not that it was a good one. The cops are probably giving them a chance to turn themselves in and explain before they issue an interstate arrest warrant over some collectible cards. I doubt the state of Indiana gives much of a frick about WotC - which is probably why this story is being amplified so much.
>how they haven't been arrested yet is baffling, if they know their names faces and other shit, how do they not have addresses and shit?
They're from NYC and committed the crime in Indianapolis, so they need to be extradited, also, if they transported the goods back to NY, that's a federal felony too, in addition to whatever Indiana will charge them with:

For some reason I'd love to see them not get away with a slap on the wrist, not because I like WotC, but because these guys strike me as the kind of entitled, care-free types who've lived life on easymode and don't even consider what kind of consequences they might face for their actions.
MTG becoming a collector shillfest with artificially manufactured rarity shit like the One Ring card while simultaneously spiting its primary playerbase to cowtow to demographics that will barely give them the time of day is absolutely gutting itself for the sake of a short-term profits boost.

I tried it 10 years ago because a bunch of kids at my school were giving it a go. We all made some decks, bought a few packs and had some fun. Then hit the collectorgay side and all the sweaty troglodytes that make up the majority of fans and quit very soon.

If you watch that video, the chick in the middle (who looks super young) was interviewing them for boardgamegeek, and the guy on the left has his hand across her chair/back at the outset, which is super sus.
>chick in the middle looks super young
OMG, is that a 20-something chick?! I'm going insane!
Everyone's making fun of the absolute unit with the backpack, but for some reason seeing fat people sitting in public really pisses me off.
I weigh 140 lbs. and if have to wait for something, I just stand.
Maybe if these fat fricks didn't sit so much, they wouldn't be so fat.
>I weigh 140 lbs.
Cute. But when you weigh 140 kilos, you'll really want to rest your legs occasionally.
The ginger has a linkedin profile where he worked for NASA, has a security clearance, and worked for a number of semiconductor companies.
How does someone so smart commit such an absurdly incompetent crime?
> worked for guberment gibs
Not hard to do, what did he DO for NASA and the semiconductor companies. > security clearance
Lol the literal deranged troony traitor BRADLEY Manning had one as well. If it's not at least TS who cares- a literal dog can get a Secret clearance
>traitor
I will never understand the reasoning that Manning is a traitor for exposing misconduct by other soldiers. Surely a rational person would think that the US soldiers attacking a minivan full of civilians, then lying in ambush to further attack anyone trying to help the minivan's occupants would be the traitors, and not the person who exposed their literal war crimes?
There are proper procedures if you want to report certain shit, but the traitor troony ignored all of these.
Even if it wanted to leak the bad stuff, the way the traitor troony went out this- just dumping thousands of classified files to a Swedish rapist- was an act of treason.
> There are proper procedures if you want to report certain shit
Nah, there’s no proper channel for a lot of the shit s/he posted. That stuff had already been swept under the rug. The channel was filled in and blacktopped over.
A lot of smart people are insanely overconfident and assume that intelligence in one field transfers to another (see: every scientist that gets overconfident and tries to become a celebrity talking about bullshit outside their field). Your average crackhead wouldn't steal something in such a blatant way, but these guys probably genuinely believed they were criminal masterminds for the entire day.
>this was their game
Proof that gender inequality and bikini armor only leads to criminality. They're probably both obsessive masturbators whose minds were destroyed by their own perversion.
It's painted over the top of a 3d model which should have been used only as a reference for anatomy, but the model is still visible.

How do you even get fat like that? Can you end up like this sneakily from eating a couple hundred excess daily calories over a long period of time or do you really have to gorge yourself?
Usually their genes didn’t help but the main factor is a combination of eating WAY too many carbs. You don’t get that by eating 2200 balanced calories a day. They’re consuming 4000+ kcal daily almost entirely in carbs. Carbs are cheap and these kind of hobbies are expensive so that’s likely part of the correlation.
>carbs. You don’t get that by eating 2200 balanced calories a day. They’re consuming 4000+ kcal daily almost entirely in carbs. Carbs are cheap and these kind of hobbies are expensive so that’s likely part of the correlation.
An apple is a 99% carbohydrate
An apple is mostly water. Unless you gorge on dried fruit or applesauce it's difficult to get fat from eating them because you'd need to ingest several kilograms a day.
Nah, fat burns energy, if you eat a few hundred cals extra a day you'll gain a few kgs, then the additional fat will burn off the additional calories. Your weight essentially increases to match whatever you're putting in.
To be that big you have to be slamming back 4-5 thousand calorie a day.
Is the guy in the orange shirt typical of what Gen Con staff looks like?
No wonder two normal-weight guys were able to just walk out with a palette jack of $300k worth of merch.
No, most of the staff are convention center staff who are mostly balding middle-aged black dudes and short old ladies who look like the first bailiff on Night Court.
Why would you think some rando with his badge on a lanyard is staff?

Secret clearance isn’t hard to get but it does require you aren’t on drugs and have a steady paycheck. Probably 80% of Americans wouldn’t qualify.
>a literal dog can get a Secret clearance
I mean dogs don't typically go around stealing yugioh cards so this makes sense
i actually know a dog with a top secret clearance, he's a service animal for an engineer. he gets his own little badge for his collar.
Incredibly cute.

consider the following: why are people who hired him at NASA and those companies so dumb
A lot of smart people are insanely overconfident and assume that intelligence in one field transfers to another (see: every scientist that gets overconfident and tries to become a celebrity talking about bullshit outside their field). Your average crackhead wouldn't steal something in such a blatant way, but these guys probably genuinely believed they were criminal masterminds for the entire day.
That said, y'know, I don't know how smart you are if you steal the cards on CCTV while wearing a shirt advertising the board game you designed.

Proof that gender inequality and bikini armor only leads to criminality. They're probably both obsessive masturbators whose minds were destroyed by their own perversion.
Is this art AI generated? Photobashed with that GIMP oil painting filter put over it? This is embarrassing for a professional product.
It was released in 2015 so no but I thought the same thing, it looks just like AI art.
Looking at the preview pics on BGG, not a single card matches the others in art style. Some are anime-esque, some are super-flat.
Each faction was done by a different artist to give them a different feel. Whether that was a good idea or not...
No it's just a failed attempt at a painterly style.
It's painted over the top of a 3d model which should have been used only as a reference for anatomy, but the model is still visible.

Oh you're moronic, thanks for letting me know.
Basic modern photoshopshit.
did they steal directly from wizards of the coast and nobody else was effected?
cuz if so, based
tl;dr for someone outside the magic community?
Dudes stole shit while wearing a shirt advertising their game.

Its also largely fibre so it's much less digestible.

So is money.
It's definitely a thing that you can be like, a very intelligent scientist or businessman who's successful in their field and not be street smart.
