[MOD MIC OFF] Sarcasm (as a form of humor like Kinesia stated) at least in this thread, also may help calm potential tension that could be building between multiple threads, where reasonable-but-differing minds have clashed. This is relevant for the General Discussion threads, as even if the conversation has moved a bit off topic, the humor may create opportunity for renewed interest in the discussion, instead of resentment build by negative emotion.Also, a good deal of the humor was making subtle references to mtgpq gameplay, (references to mtgpq tiers, pack purchases, nerf, etc).If we started debating about which was the best Star Wars movie, or the best place for a low-budget vacation, or our favorite kind of cereal, or whether or not wombats are the coolest critters ever (which they totally are), then I'd agree with you 100% that we are off-topic.
