The Anti-Noob Project - When facing noobs, be prepared...

I'm fairly sure that this wouldn't fit in Q&A.

I'm planning on printing a binder of important info to quickly explain stuff to random noobs who try pulling a fast one on me (it has happened, A LOT).

So, things I was planning of putting in are:

Shockingly, most of that stuff is needed. >.<


I'm sure I missed something. Any ideas?

This will be made into a file that will be available to everyone. Feel free to point out errors.

[SephirothKirby]

Hm. I should do this as well.

[b0b3rt]

So is this some sort of tournament? Without a judge?

 

I can't really think of anything else that you would need, but then again, most of it is so obvious that I wouldn't even consider it in the first place.

[burnpsy]

SephirothKirby, glad to see you like the idea. xD

No, but everyone I face tries to pull garbage on me.

 

Just think a little, what would a noob not know that would cause him/her to argue with you?

Expected a Magic Cylinder discussion topic

Nah, I'm posting that later. That said, I expected people to expect that.

[Dark_Armed_Zombie]

What about "missing the timing?" It might not come up very often, but with n00bs you never know and you wouldn't want to be caught without it if it did.

 

Edit: Maybe the difference between costs and effects and that costs are not negated via Skill Drain or when the card is negated. Oh, and the classic "MST does not stop the effect of a card..."

All of these ideas are good.

I use to be one of those n00bs D: ... It's a sad realization.

I think most of use have been at some point. >.<

[OnSlaUghT]

I'm the most powerful duelist in my school, so anything i say, goes.

[zombiepromking]

"MST does not stop the effect of a card..."

 

You wouldn't believe how much BS went on about this one @ school. Everyone was like "How doesn't it stop it?" and the one kid at school who is like Uber ridiculous no matter what deck he runs (He had a jinzo, reactor, BW Aggro deck WTF?!) was like "It says friggen destroy not negate!" In any case this binder of rulings and what not is a really good idea, i think i may need one just for when i duel any of my friends. All of them are decent players but they're so n00bish in some departments it's ridiculous.

Actually, I'm the authority on YGO and Pokemon in the school building. They usually trust me, but many of them sometimes gang together (such as the Union problem).

[OnSlaUghT]

Luckily the guys in my school actually know the rules, unless they are first year students

[GenzoTheHarpist]

What is necessary for dark world effects is a common topic for mistakes. No costs, no "sends", etc.

So wait... Mystical Space Typhoon/Dust Tornado doesn't stop the effect from resolving? *I don't use them and haven't seen them recently, but I've never cleared that up*

[Guest PikaPerson01]

Pretty much any n00b would find it tl;dr.

[burnpsy]

Pretty much any n00b would find it tl;dr.

 

At which point I would taunt them, saying that not reading it proves that they're wrong, and continue the duel with the correct stuff happening.

[Silas Angel]

Well, when you're done with this binder thing, could you PM it all to me? xD I like the idea

[burnpsy]

Actually, I think I might post it here when I'm done (minus the part that only applies to my deck, of course).

 

If I don, I'll gladly do so.

[Jericho]

Perhaps an explanation of Quickplay Spells? This n00b tried to activate MST not only to negate my trap, but during my turn. From his hand.

Yes, that would be wise.

 

Also, I added the banlist to the list. >.<

[.:pyramid:.]

also bring a rule book with you, when i was a year 9 student nothing gave me greater pleasure than throwing the rule book at my opponent for that final bit of "yer so i am right and you are a noob"

What'd you mean? =/
