Reasons to quit playing:

[GenzoTheHarpist]

Water does not have "incredible potential".

[Limited Edition KING]

Why not just trade cards? If you're so antsy about the price of cards

 

Or do you lack intelligence to be able to do that?

 

Oh wait I forgot you run a water deck so you dont.

[Azuh]

Thumbs up for rage-quitting on a children's card game

[Guest PikaPerson01]

good response up until the meme plug. you almost had me believing you were an intelligent person.

 

Firstly' date=' I don't like making the whole superdy duper serious ****ing business posts because the internet isn't superdy duper serious ****ing business. I write out my posts in an easy enough to read, almost conversational manner because I don't want people to reach for the dictionary every time I get on my soapbox.

 

Secondly, I don't really care about your thoughts on my intelligence when you can't even remember to start sentences and proper nouns with a capital letter or to use an apostrophe when doing a contraction. I could understanding being a non-native speaker, but capitalized first letters is a staple of just about every single Romance language. (No, there is no source here. I don't really care if I'm wrong here.)

 

 

i do play undersupported types, and i attempt to make them playable. its my hobby. but when i pick up something that, in theory, seems like a decktype with incredible potential, only to get blown up by that disgusting mess called infernities.. yeah, its pretty rageful. dont for a minute tell me you can get ftk'd without playing a card, look your opponent dead in the eye, say 'good game' and mean it. it has nothing to do with good deck construction or good playing. most of these f*****s just netdeck it and the decks run themselves. and the very notion that i have to deal with 5 more months of it is insane.

 

I've never played Infernities but to my mind from what I've heard of them they're completly stopped by D.D. Crow. I realize that asking a duelist to use a card specifically against their deck type is an insult (Lol, use Spear Dragon against Scapegoat) but then again you're biggest complaint is that you're stopped by Infernities? Find some duelists who agree not to use Infernities.

 

i havent really played against machines' date=' or with them for that matter. i've been out of the loop because i'm so far away from my sad little card shop. so i'm pretty much limited to playing yugiohnetwork, full of viets, english people who dont speak english, [b']nooblets who dont want to drop money on the game[/b], lag, etc. or i can play wc10... and honestly having played it, it just seems annoying.

 

... Lol.

 

Pot, kettle, etc etc.

 

there's no substitute for the actual feel of cards in your hand and sound of decks shuffling. its the ambiance of the game that makes it so endearing. and the camaraderie of playing with friends' date=' raging over a bad ruling, laughing over a silly move, bragging and taunting and etc. the experience is the best part. you get none of that on shitty duel interfaces. honestly, they should only be used to test decks.[/quote']

 

I partly agree. I had more fun grabbing a random pile of unnopened booster packs and dueling like that with 3 other teammates in a four way free for all duel then I've had at any SJC or tournament duel or w/e. Your problem is you don't know others who duel or you're too far from a children's card game store or whatever. Uhh... we can't help you with that? o_0

 

also' date=' i'm mostly blaming konami for pseudo supporting my deck type. like it gives me a lot of options that look good, only to find out theyre mediocre. like moray. looks sweet, until you realize your deck only -1's, and youve lost 2 monsters (assuming you draw none). or fishborg, who's like a free synchro every turn, but it takes so much god damn advantage to make it happen.[/quote']

 

Then don't play crappy cards? Just run any random level 2, 3, or 4 tuner instead of a crappy one? The deck I'm current running is a cluster**** of random and it's awesome.

 

That guy from forever ago said it best though: "WAAH I WANT TO PLAY SENET BUT THEY SUCK!!! I'M GOING TO QUIT!!! "

 

and a little rage comes from the ice boundary synchros fitting so perfectly with my deck' date=' and me not being able to use em for an undetermined amount of time.

 

its a lot of things.

 

and if you dont care as you claim, dont bother posting. it isnt your civic duty to come in and post, then when you get flamed for being a troll, to whine like you werent really interested in the first place. yeesh. so transparent.[/quote']

 

Meh, I typically have two reasons to post.

1) To make other people feel better

2) To piss off other people until they say something stupid and then I and others can laugh at them.

 

also: its a rage thread. why dont you guys rage? i cant be the only one who has problems with this game. i'm sure we all want to b**** and whine about s***' date=' but the moment someone does, everyone runs in and decides they can capitalize on that person's anguish, make people laugh, enlarge their Epenis, and become more powerful by feeding off their emotions. it's really kind of annoying.[/quote']

 

Serious internet business. Serious children's card game business.

Secondly' date=' I don't really care about your thoughts on my intelligence when you can't even remember to start sentences and proper nouns with a capital letter or to use an apostrophe when doing a contraction. I could understanding being a non-native speaker, but capitalized first letters is a staple of just about every single Romance language. (No, there is no source here.

[/quote']

 

amazing. took you 3 posts before you started ranting on my capitalization. usually that's the first thing people start harping on. i wish i was intelligent enough to use capital letters so people wouldnt hurt my feelings over it! anyway, i'm just going to laugh at the contradiction between 'lol the internet isnt serious business' and 'lol you should type super properly or you're dumb!' and leave it at that.

 

i havent really played against machines' date=' or with them for that matter. i've been out of the loop because i'm so far away from my sad little card shop. so i'm pretty much limited to playing yugiohnetwork, full of viets, english people who dont speak english, [b']nooblets who dont want to drop money on the game[/b], lag, etc. or i can play wc10... and honestly having played it, it just seems annoying.

Or do you lack intelligence to be able to do that?

 

Oh wait I forgot you run a water deck so you dont.

 

i dont recall jabroniing about card prices. if you're going to attempt to troll me' date=' at least make sure you're... no, i don't even need to say anything. i don't care about prices, i'm rich jabroni.

 

also,

Oh wait I forgot you run a water deck so you dont.

 

has anyone seen this guy before? i havent. he must not go in the 'your deck' section. or he'd see hundreds of people, some of the best players on this site, running low tier decks for fun. anyone can netdeck the meta, you troll. it's usually far more enjoyable to play a real deck. also, daedalus would like a word with you.

 

 

I partly agree. I had more fun grabbing a random pile of unnopened booster packs and dueling like that with 3 other teammates in a four way free for all duel then I've had at any SJC or tournament duel or w/e. Your problem is you don't know others who duel or you're too far from a children's card game store or whatever. Uhh... we can't help you with that? o_0

 

i'm not asking for help. i'm venting.

 

 

Serious internet business. Serious children's card game business.

 

and the obligatory meme plug. almost made it a full post' date=' didntcha? not really. second mention of it. i take my entertainment somewhat seriously. when i play, i wish to have fun. if my fun is eclipsed by some faggotry beyond my control (or the only answer is that i have to play like a baka to compete), then i get irritated with the game and with the time i've spent that i'll never get back.

 

like i said, if you can get ftk'd by a total tool without even playing a card, look your opponent in the eye, shake his hand and say 'good game', and [b']mean[/b] it, then you're a bigger man than me.

 

also:

Water does not have "incredible potential".

i dont mean in comparison to your ftk bullshit. i meant it has a lot of new' date=' good cards that seem excellent on the surface. codarus, moray, a hundred fish with above decent effects that i'm too lazy to post. a searchable doublefoolish (skreech). salvage is sweet too. fishborg is a plaguespreader every turn if you play it right. and the only crutch being alo, which is searchable by 6 cards and copyable by 9. the only down side is low attack, overall. and it's not quite as fast as i'd like it to be. they actually /do/ have potential, you tool.

 

and i hope by saying 'water deck', you aren't implying all water decks are bad. frogs are a water deck, and they're otk machines.

 

 

 

Thumbs up for rage-quitting on a children's card game

 

thumbs up for trolling and meme plugging.

[White Void]

I read through this entire thread and Tronta does have some legit reasoning, while I don't agree with all of them, I can see where he's coming from. I have more fun playing my terribad veteran player friends in real life than players who play at a "professional" level. No offense to anyone but the competitive community in this game is rather unfriendly towards themselves. And why should someone have to conform and play a deck they don't want to stand a chance at all? I don't see why ragging on someone for their choice of deck is necessary and it's necessary for everyone to play the same damn 5 or so decktypes. Personally, I'd like to play dragons that aren't Hopeless but Konami refuses to print decent dragons or dragon support that isn't random boss monsters for another archetype.

That's a sentiment I can get behind, but then again it's not really that much of a shocker. There's not really like... any reason why the community should act friendly towards each other in a duel. When you duel it's all about intimidating your opponent and playing whatever stupid BS mind games because you, like everyone else, is gunning for the top prize of... whatever the hell the top prize is.

 

When there's nothing on the line of course we'll have more fun but when suddenly you might have wasted 5 or 20 bucks for a useless entry. It's like how you're perfectly fine wasting your time playing Donkey Kong on an NES but suddenly when you dropped a quarter into a machine in order to play it you MUST get to the final level.

Excuse me for barging in.

 

That thought is probably true: people in this game, in the metagame specifically, are by default aggressive and unfriendly to most other duelists. but even so, I feel that perhaps this kind of sentiment should only apply to the big tournaments, like the Shounen Jump tourneys, the regional ones and whatnot.

 

if you're in your locals you shouldn't be stomping the multitude of people with your highly competitive, ready for SJC deck. that kinda fouls up a local scene since there's not much incentive for the rest of the people, who probably don't want to or can't afford a tier 1 deck. it's true that meta decks have become considerably cheaper, but the big ones (like X-sabers or the increasingly hyped Infernities) will undoubtedly cost you plenty.

 

I would say that in that case, the local scene should be used as some sort of playing ground, where people can try out the low-tiers, or the highlanders, or the stupid ideas. I realize that it's probably the people's fault, by dueling against a meta deck with a low or non-existant tier deck; heck I'm at fault for that too, at times. but my opinion still stands: locals should be for the casual fun, the experimentation. regionals and SJC for the whole serious card game madness, lol. <_<

 

just the two cents of a newbie, I guess.

[Guest PikaPerson01]

If I may use a (possibly bad) analogy here...

 

Let's say you were a race car driver. The government (or whoever's in charge) has agreed to pay you X amount of money, but only if you can win the Daytona 500 (or whatever the big fancy race is called).

 

You can either do two things. Either stand around and eat pop tarts all day until the day of Daytona 500, or you can go around and try to improve your skills. Challenge other, smaller venues. Sure, your car might be the most ass-kicking one there but that doesn't mean there's nothing worthwhile to learn at a smaller meeting ground. And who knows, maybe you'll be able to exchange spare auto parts for smaller, hard to find parts. (Yeah, I know races probably don't actually work like that. That's why it's an analogy! <_<)

 

I mean... I think you get the gist of what I'm saying. If "competitive" duelists can only duel at major competitions... how else would they improve or test out their decks? The smaller venues are needed for this. And, if anything, they may meet other like minded people there to help hone their skills.

 

I mean, I'll agree that using small, local people who really don't give a damn about the goings on of the metagame as guinea pigs to their decks may be a little harsh but... the alternative is to dive in completely inexperienced.

It is still possible to win using a cheap and very funny deck build

[Zyirth]

If I may use a (possibly bad) analogy here...

 

Let's say you were a race car driver. The government (or whoever's in charge) has agreed to pay you X amount of money' date=' but only if you can win the Daytona 500 (or whatever the big fancy race is called).

 

You can either do two things. Either stand around and eat pop tarts all day until the day of Daytona 500, or you can go around and try to improve your skills. Challenge other, smaller venues. Sure, your car might be the most ass-kicking one there but that doesn't mean there's nothing worthwhile to learn at a smaller meeting ground. And who knows, maybe you'll be able to exchange spare auto parts for smaller, hard to find parts. (Yeah, I know races probably don't actually work like that. That's why it's an analogy! <_<)

 

I mean... I think you get the gist of what I'm saying. If "competitive" duelists can only duel at major competitions... how else would they improve or test out their decks? The smaller venues are needed for this. And, if anything, they may meet other like minded people there to help hone their skills.

 

I mean, I'll agree that using small, local people who really don't give a damn about the goings on of the metagame as guinea pigs to their decks may be a little harsh but... the alternative is to dive in completely inexperienced.

hm....yes, I do understand that point. I don't necessarily think that it's a harsh practice, I mean I'm also a competitive folk, yet I don't quite use a high-tier meta deck (I use Macro-Monarchs, which is arguably the worst monarch variant right now, given Dandy's semi-limiting and the new Laval archtype, among other things); though losing to a meta deck is annoying at times, it's all the more rewarding to pummel someone down with something different, other than "fighting fire with fire".

 

it's true that if a scene develops enough, or if you delve in it for a long enough time you'll encounter like-minded individuals, being able to improve upon strategies and whatnot. I suppose I was mostly playing Devil's Advocate here, since to be honest I quite enjoy the meta-game, sans things like X-sabers seemingly becoming LS 2.0 with the new support and costly cards, though it's not as bad in that regard as LS, the broken factor is starting to become equal, IMHO.

i think countdown is the only high tier deck i could get behind. just because it seems amusing. and i will jabroni about price now, because its my understanding that battle fader is a fuckload of money. its not that i couldnt afford it, its that i have my head on straight and am not going to spend that much on a single card. ah well. i'm sure it could still be pretty effective without him. theres plenty of other stuff.

 

maybe i'll try it some time. if i want high tier /and/ fun. assuming it is fun.

 

 

and i dont see why people cant still be casual in upper levels. people seem to think mind games always have to be cold and aggressive. i simply dont agree with that at all.

[Coaster Guy]

starting playing again

think i'm going to stop.

why you ask?

 

behold my reasons to stop playing:

-5 more months of not getting a turn because of infernities

-starlight road stopping all my feeble attempts to use cards.

-fishborg is level 1

-the water support is half assed

-old problems are still there.

-yugiohnetwork is gay. no one knows how to play or speak. it also lags.

-the ice boundary synchros arent out yet' date=' limiting my water deck's stepping stone ability.

-i cant make a level 8 with my water deck.

-xsabers feel just as gay as gbs. but that might just be my imagination.

-infernities.

-the rng on yugiohnetwork screws me every time

-[b']no one to play with.[/b]

 

 

 

 

and this is my rage thread. feel free to rage along or troll me.

 

 

That last line says it all!

X-sabers are gay, however gottoms isn't all that bad.

reasonable..but i'm still playing. Even though there ain't no one to play with.

I make the game fun, I cause people to work at winning, and be active in playing the game. in essence, I make people think. those who can not think, or do not think, lose.

people like to play me, but the weaker players are kind of afraid of me because of my tactics.:roll:

 

that is why I don't change my play style from what I do to something oppressive and impossible to beat. I am a teacher, of sorts, I try to make you better at this game, not beat you into a bloody pulp.

and i dont see why people cant still be casual in upper levels. people seem to think mind games always have to be cold and aggressive. i simply dont agree with that at all.

 

I used to play mind games with people in other ways...

 

I tried playing the "naive stupid girl who only knows about Yu-Gi-Oh because of the anime" and that threw a few people off for a while, until I became more of a regular at the store and like... after I had won the last three tournaments I couldn't really play the "naive little girl" angle anymore.

 

So, since it was Spring I wore more revealing clothes and acted more flirty, which worked surprisingly well, but I wouldn't recommend for other guys to do. Not to mention getting hit on was pretty awkward.

 

So, then I just acted like a mean, cold aggressive person. Easier then the above two mind games, and least likely to get me harassed about things later on.

 

The game's like... a good amount of psychology. Thinking too hard or not enough could mess up people's game or leave them wide open to an obvious play. I always bluff Gorz, and back when it was obvious I was lying, I'd bluff Gorz when I had Gorz in hand just to screw with people even further.

 

In short, the easiest and most likely to work "mind game" is the cold and aggressive attitude. Why play anything less?

[-Berserker-]

Strange. I started playing yugioh because the people of my college introduced me to it. You should search more around your college, maybe there are some (Just don't scream in the middle of the students ¡¿Anyone wants to play YGO with me?!)

 

I accept that you don't care about writting everything in lowercase, but Codarus is a word that needs big letters.

I got my Faders for 5$ each and it is a fun deck to play with provided you have patience.

Not for this to sound the wrong way but I'm guessing you're relatively attractive since that wouldn't just work for anyone unless Yugioh players are far more undersexed than I thou...oh damnit I can't even finish that sentence with a straight face.

[Tronta]

girls in card shops are rare. she doesnt have to be attractive, just noticably female and not a heffer. that sounds bad, but its true.

 

Codarus does deserve capitals :P

 

i haven't checked fader's price in ages.

 

and i dont believe the cold aggressive mind game is the best. so you dont have to play less, you could play more. its just easiest. i always try to be social with the person i'm playing. i also try to seem like i dont know what i'm doing. and some times i'll make excruciatingly annoying plays just to mess with my opponents.

 

like trolling people for turns on end with aqua spirit. or back when i ran flip 4, which was straight up bouncing and super stall. that pissed off one kid so bad he started screaming. it was great :P

[DARKPLANT RISING]

Someone actually uses Yugioh Network?

 

Ha!

 

YVD says hi. If your parents are too evil to let you do one single download, you wouldn't have been able to actually buy YGO packs themselves.

wut?

it's like he's never met me...

and has a loose grasp on the 'says hi' meme.

 

yvd, in addition to taking up more ram (as it's another process running), is overall kind of meh. i like the more hotkeys, but the direct connection bullshit requires too much effort. plus, i cant get mine to load the card pictures. and the rulings function of yugiohnetwork is really sweet.

 

actually dude, apparently a lot of people on here use yugiohnetwork... so i dont even know where you think you're coming from.

[Master White]

Whatcha complainin about, you run a water deck? Why not frogs, they were fun. Or how about a combo of water monsters. Or how about, something I should have never quit playing with. Umi + Tornado Wall + Imeprial Custom = No damage. Or use the new card in the absolute power force pack, this link here. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Forgotten_Temple_of_the_Deep

[Yankee]

The only reason I'd quit is because people take the game to seriously.

Must...resist...temptation... Okay, I managed to control myself. People, don't give me a chance to referance something. Or quote. It's hard for me not to. Anyway, if I were to quit, it would be because of the meta game. I hate Synchros, Lightsworns, Blackwings, bleh. I just want to play a game I suck at without people shoving cards like JD at me. Even though I haven't faced a meta deck, I know it'll happen one day. That's why I quit while I was ahead.
