Subject: Sportsmanship Strider


Hello my name is Strider this is my first of what will porbally 
                     be many posting. This is tip and also a friendly reminder, I love 
                     to play yu-gi-oh with my friends but what makes me really mad is 
                     when people are complete jerks to one another not only in the game 
                     but outside it as well. I entered a swiss style tournament and won 
                     my first game with in five to ten min. so I was watching this guy 
                     who looked at least 40-50 playing this kid who was maybe 7-10 and 
                     the older guy was loseing so he made up a ruleing on card to even
                      up the game so this little kids friend steps in and says that not 
                      how you play it and to ask a judge the older guy quickly said "why 
                      don't you shut dam mouth and mind you own business" I was just so 
                      surprised here was this 40-50 year old man swearing at a 7-8 year 
                      old boy over a game. Also when your playing we all been put in a 
                      postion where your opponent wants to take move back (before any of 
                      your cards get revealed) or where your opponent has Imperal Order 
                      out and plays a magic card now offically they should have the magic 
                      card negated and have to pay for Imperal Order granted even I made 
                      them pay for Order before if its a real close game and my oppenent 
                      is not just a little kid that does know all the rulings but if your 
                      playing a little kid or just free playing be nice to them let them 
                      take a move back or let them know of a ruleing they may not know a
                      bout (Imperal Order vs. MST) for example, and they will probaly 
                      also let you take things back as well maybe we can make this game 
                      a little more fun for everyone becuase Isn't that why we play not 
                      for the prizes or fame just becuase its fun and a time to be with our 
                      friends. Questions, commits (Oh and for all those people out there who 
                      think I am just some guy who can't win I won over 30 tounaments)
