Ben's top ten list of things that annoy me in
yugioh
Yo, this is my top ten list of
things that I hate in yugioh:
10) People who agreed to trade
but then muck around: This is mainly aimed at newbies. PLEASE, if you
agreed to trade a certain card, don't sit there half an hour admiring the
artwork, and then change your mind. Don't beat around the bush, either say
you'll trade or not.
9) Experienced duelists complaining
about newbies: You were new once too, and there is no point getting angry about
how bad they are- you agreed to duel them. However, this is not as
annoying as the point below.........
8) Newbies complaining about
experienced duelists: for one thing, THEY decided to spend all that money on
their decks and power it up, so there is no use whinging and complaining how you
just got your ass-kicked by a high level duelist. As you get better at
anything, you want to improve yourself.
7) People who continually put their
losses to 'bad draws' or some other weak-ass excuse: Sure, some duels you do get
bad draws, but don't blame it on every loss you have; there are times you have
got to admit your deck is not the bronze adonis of the yugioh
world.
6) The amount of talking on the TV
show: The amount of talking shown some of the time on the TV show is
preposterous. I mean, come on, most of it is just about how their
'freindship' pulls them through or some babble about how a card is going to
work, then they gotta tell everybody else.
5) Top ten lists about made-up
cards: Okay, for one thing, I'm afraid nobody really cares about your dream
cards. I did actually read a couple, and the cards listed were stuff that
are godlike. Please, if you make up a card, make an original effect with a
decent attack for its level, not just 10 gamebreaking cards that are too good to
be real.
4) Top ten sexy lists: My god
people, they are cardboard peices with a picture of a chick on it who isn't
even real. If you want REAL chicks that are REALLY nude, buy a
playboy or something. Hell, its even cheaper, cuz I mean come on, what can
you do: send a poster to Konami and ask for the Dark Magician girl to sign it or
something?????
3) Strategies that go on the TV show
that would never work in real life: Okay, cut away the 3 quarters of the episode
talking for a minute and revise the strategies. I mean, swordsman of
landstar? What the hell? Whats even worse is when people try to play
those strategies.
2) People who run defense decks:
They simply don't work, no matter how you look at them. I know some people
build onto the idea a good offense is a good defense, but yugioh simply does not
work that way at all. The easiest way to win a duel is to make your
opponents life points hit 0, and if you are continually building onto your
defense, where is the offensive power going to come from; those 2000 defense
monsters aren't designed to go offensive.
1) People who take ages to make a
move: This seems a bit trivial, but nothing annoys me more when we are in the
middle of a tournament when two people are having a duel for over an hour and a
half and they still have 4000 lifepoints left and on their first duel. In
a tourney it is especially annoying because you hold up the whole thing. You
should be prepared for a tournament, not reading the cards while you hold them,
and should have some idea about how they work and what their use is. There
should be a time limit of half an hour for every
duel.
