Subject: Corrections and rants - Unknown Soldier RE: Rob Heller AKA dimensionaltheif@yahoo.com's Rope of Life combo Minar AND Electric Snake both have effects that have to originate from the opponent. No Rope of Life OR Card Destruction combos here folks. I LOVE seeing people try to use unused cards! It makes the game soooooooooooo much more fun and interesting, but as a suggestion: if you're going to do it, please read the card first! --------------------------------------------------------------------- RE: Nike327@hotmail.com's tips >>Maximum number of cards in your deck is 45, 50's too much. It is NOT my intention to bash anyone's tips, but this kinda caught my attention. The purpose of this game is to encourage creative solutions to simulated problems and scenarios, not to fall victim to conformists views. Alright, so the general rule is stay as close to 40 as you can, we all know it. What's not okay is to make others feel like what they do is wrong if they choose to do things their way. C'mon folks, if you wanna put more than 50, then DO IT. Sure it's a lil more risky, and the probability of you getting the cards you NEED are decreased a tad, but if staying at less than 50 makes the game less fun for you, then by ALL means, do 51, 52, etc. Nike is doing HIS/HER thing, and I think we should do ours too. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [ begin ranting ] I love this game. I love this game, but I never forget that, that's what it was meant to be: A GAME. I keep reading all these rants about wealthy people, people bashing deck types they don't like or see no point to playing and it all makes me sick... A game is supposed to be a temporary escape from the drudgeries of everyday life, to be able to relax and just 'chill', if you will. It's a game. If you lose, don't get all ticked off because you lost. Everyone loses sometime in their life, but the TRUE loser is the loser who does not know how to lose gracefully. It makes you look bad if you get all ticked off over losing a game created for the purpose of fun. Getting mad over fun? Doesn't sound too right does it... To make a long story short, yeah, just like wartortle32 and the rest of the Pojo staff, I'm sick and tired of hearing about how WEALTHY (I can't say the 'R' word or this won't get posted -_-') are ruining the game. They're not! The people who have forgotten that this is a GAME are ruining the game! Yugioh is a game created to be able to practice strategy/skill buildingl, luck, and ingenuity (not to mention make Upperdeck OODLES of moolah hahaha...) If you game's not up to par, it's really not anyone's fault but our own! All it means is one of the three aspects of the game (strategy/skill, luck, or ingenuity) weren't in our favor, and that's all! Well... that or the other person cheated, but that's really unlikely... In any case, it might be different the next time around, it might not. WHO KNOWS? In any case, I would like to see this game become what it was meant to be. Not another reason to hate on WEALTHY people. Not another frivolous reason to become angry. I would like it to be FUN for everybody. [ end ranting ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Love it? Hate it? Agree? Disagree? Gotta crush on me? (>_<) Either way, E-Mail me!
