So, to give you an interesting variation on the self-introduction theme, here's a contest:
1. What question is the quote in my signature an answer to?
2. What is the "correct" pronounciation of my handle (meaning the non-English pronounciation), and what or who does it refer to? (I'll give you a hint, it doesn't rhyme with six like it does in English).
3. My other online handle is Seelie. To what or who does it refer? (using a dictionary is cheating on these two, but this is on the honor system).
I'll give, hmm, I don't know, how about two common Antiquities cards to the person who gets 'em all right first (they're not in mint condition, but look pretty good).
And the bonus question (only valid if answered by the same person who gets the other three correct first), for a pair of common Arabian Nights cards:
4. A two-parter: In Zork I, how do you pick up the Platinum Bar in the Loud Room? And, what was the name of Infocom's short-lived corporate newsletter sent to all the people who registered their text games?
And you can ask for nearly any common Antiquities or Arabian Nights cards and if I have spares I'll pass 'em on. I'm out of Rukh Eggs, but I have most all of the others. Most of the non-rare lands from those sets are fair game too, Oasis, Desert, Strip Mine, Bazaar of Baghdad etc. Not the Library, Island of Wak-Wak, or the other rare lands though.
