Subject: battle phase stupidity (rant) - Stephen H. Alright, i have been reading all these seemingly flawless "tips" lately and it is getting more and more on my nerves. I don't know if very many people have noticed the stupidity of most of these "tips". Oh wow some of you found out that some of the monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh have effects that are good to use! A ton of people are acting like they discovered gold, when in fact all they really did was learn a little bit more of the game, emphasizing their idiocy. Ex: Some tips that people send in are "power up your Monster (bewd, barrel, whatever), but all they do in their tip is say that you should use reinforcements and, say, witch's apprentice to raise a barrel dragon's attack strength a bit. Then they think it's a big discovery that this monster will beat a BEWD! GOD. DUH. My 9-year-old sister understood that without anyone telling her. Oh and another thing: all of you people that have combos involving MOF and such to get monster reborn in are retarded (not all, mind you, but the majority) The most horrible ones are the ones that say use raigeki or something and then use summoned skull to attack life points and then flip over magician of faith to get back a monster reborn and use it on their monsters that you raigeki'ed and attack with it to get a one-turn win. Moronic!!! It seems as if no one has heard of phases in the game. Go read a rule book first kiddos. Let's see here, if you attacked with a monster, you are now in BATTLE PHASE. your battle phase will end if you do anything like use magic cards or summon a monster (except in certain monster's effects, i'm sure there are exceptions i'm not thinking of currently) then your battle phase is over and you MAY NOT ATTACK AGAIN in that turn. It's only one battle phase per turn, and that's final. Give it up and wait for Magic Ruler, and write something worthwile. Granted this is a waste of your feeble mind's time, but hey i got you to read. Now go play by the rules, like you were taught in school. Feel free to respond to what i say any time, but please make it worth my time and energy. None of this "You suck" crap, that's less intelligent than a neanderthal with half of his chromasomes missing. I look forward to your emails, in the meantime i'm going to go battle my pet ferret who could cream most of you at any card game imaginable. Stephen Hansen Shskater3847@aol.com
