Welcome to LiquiScoop, the #1 weekly newsletter for everything that goes on in the Teamliquid.net forums! Here you'll find notable threads, notable posters, and some fun original content as well.
A big thanks to IntoTheWow and dronebabo for their tireless help, as well as Oxy and Smurg who do all the great photoshop work for us. Without them, LiquiScoop would not happen. Enjoy!
I have some bad news for everyone. Due to some staff issues, this will be our last LiquiScoop for a while, perhaps indefinitely. Long story short, I can't keep it up each week at its current level of quality, and neither can Chris or Agustin, especially now that Chris (dronebabo) has been banned and Agustin (IntoTheWow) is moving house. We don't want to do a half-effort job, so we decided to stop for a while. It's been fun and maybe we'll restart it again sometime. I know this is sort of abrupt and it seemed like we were going strong, but all good things must come to an end sometime. I'd like to thank you to all our readers, and to everyone who has shown us support. I know your first question will be "Is this really the end of LiquiScoop? The answer would be nobody really knows, except for me, because I was lying and we aren't really stopping. We are just taking one week off for Thanksgiving (next week). The next LiquiScoop will be posted on December 4th, and will be a big double edition. Week of 11/13/06 to 11/19/06 [014]
Read and discuss one of the coolest, most endearing childhood comics ever in calvin and hobbes.
Beyonder provides you some awesome nostalgia in the form of old cartoon clips from youtube. Spiderman, X-men, Thundercats, Transformers, its all there!
The translation of Boxer's autobiography continues! Find out where to read it here.
Big thanks to our News Staff for another successful season of StarLeague coverage! Also, (paladin)roMAD continues to consistently post high quality replays, while HonestTea, rinizim, WhatIsProtoss , and thedeadhaji posted some nice translations, VODs, and articles this week. It goes without saying that they deserve any thanks we can give them.

Anyways, she's supposed to get a certain number of clients by some certain day and it's tough cause she's from Alberta and doesn't know many Ontario folk.
So here's the deal. Who wants to get a free cleaning and is willing to volunteer their time? It's probably an hour or two max and a one shot deal.
Not enough? Let me get to the heart of the matter - my friend Erin is a very, very attractive woman and any guy in his right mind would be thrilled to spend a couple of hours in her attention.
Hah, now you're interested! Trust me, I'd be down to if I didn't live so far away. So post here if you're living around Toronto and are interested and I'll PM you in order to pass your info on to her. Obviously I'd rather it be people I've known around these forums the last few years, but beggars can't be choosers, right?

Poll: Do You Secretly Like the Girl Help Threads? (Vote): Yes. Shhh don't tell anyone. (Vote): No. I truly hate seeing them there. (Vote): Don't care, but voting anyway to let you guys know how many unique visitors actually read LS.
They know now. One does not simply walk into TL and post a Homework thread. It's Blue Forums are guarded by more than just Posters. There is a crusade there that does not sleep, and the Great Mani is ever watchful. It is a forum riddled with contributive users, posts, and threads. Not with ten thousand lazy homework thread creators could you do this. It is folly.
Our power is growing. This week, the Great Mani closed a homework thread before any of our zealots even noticed. But with our swiftness also comes mercy, as another hardworking homework-doer was spared.
Each week, we at LiquiScoop find one thread from the Closed Forum. These threads are diamonds in the rough, underappreciated secret threads that the Mods did not want you to see. They will now get their well-deserved time in the spotlight. Unfortunately you can't post in them, but you can view them, jaws agape in utter awe, mouth salivating in anticipation at what hidden treasures the Closed Forum will yield next week. This week's OCFTotW is titled "[CS]Pablo I need YOU." Click to find out why it may be the deepest, most thought-provoking Closed Forum thread since M2's Dog.

MTF wrote: I'm curious, obviously. How exactly did you get the title "Warrior Monkey"? Did you kick some serious monkey ass, maybe some of it ninja-ass alongside Mr. Argentina, back home? ^_^
Hot_Bid wrote: He's a ninja. It's self explanatory.

Hot_Bid wrote: Depends on what you want to burrow him in. The ground? No. Your boobs? No. A restrictive cage where he answers fanmail? Maybe.

Yeesh, even being new here, I love Liquiscoop. Don't freak me out like that.
I'm loving these cards, too. You guys could probably give Wizards of the Coast a run for their money.
Agh. Getting late. I'd write more, but.... so tired..... lalalalalalalalalalalalala don't want to do homework lalalalalalalalalalala don't want to do homework don't make me no lalalalalalalala...............

The Manifesto is man. The Manifesto is woman. The Manifesto is everywhere, it is all around us, even now in this very room. You can see Manifesto when you look out your window, or you turn on your television. You can feel Manifesto when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

This shit just isn't the same with babo rantings in the thread! But Babo TURNED on us the fucker and is now flinging his wiimote to and fro.
I feel neglected .
Anyway, the cards are classic haha, especially the Mantoss quote . Nice work once again lads, but seriously get bubbles under control or send him back to Babo's place to pull his pranks there to fuck his wiiing over. The poo flinging is getting out of hand.
The mani photoshopping was funny but the actual cards have absolutely no relevance and just aren't funny. I am not making a big issue out of it. I just like it more when they play off of actual characteristics or parody things that actually happen on this forum not make something irrelevent up that (to me at least) has no humor value what so ever.
# INControl.. lol..one could accuse you of many things, but not being the "sheep" sort... which leads me to a good idea.. When all the cards are done make a POLL where people can vote on every single card if it needs to be re-done. The top 3 or 4 choices, if a particular card gets a lot of votes you guys could consider a re-do! That way final product pleases the crowd and you are left with extra trivia cards!
Initially I pretty much agreed with you on your current opinion too, but then again it might be harder than we think to make these cards. How you sum up the essence of Manifesto anyways? The solution chosen is actually clever.

Saying something isnt funny is more properly classified as an opinion than a statement. I, for one, thought the reach card was golden. <3 that rek quote. And the light a match on fire and see which cards it burns was hilarious too, imo.
We gladly accept submissions for the card game. If you guys want to suggest a card idea, please PM me. Make sure to include an idea AND image.
Title. [IMAGE] Cost. Type. Text. Quote.
We'll do our best to make the ones we think have potential. We already have a lot planned out, but if you provide everything it's really easy for me to make it on photoshop.
Of course, we have to like the idea, image, whatever, so don't get mad if we don't accept the submission.
and holy shit, the bizarre closed thread was created by "KhresT" aka "Vikter" aka "TiTan", the brazilian guy who did the infamous "chair rush" move, and faked himself into portuguese to play for Portugal in starcraft nation wars.

Haha when I click it, it shows teamliquid.net > gosugamers.net. Also if you add in tl.net and gg.net, gosugamers/gg still wins.
Also note that gosugamers is now ahead on the Alexa ranking (~48k for TL and ~36k for GG). If you chart the progress of each against eachother, you can see gg.net has held a consistent lead over tl.net for the first time, starting in mid-August.
