Remember the fun- Skip Martin

Hi, my name is Skip and I have been playing yugioh since MRD came out. Even with all of the dueling experience I've gained over the years, I've yet to win my local tournament. I top eighted 2-3 times during the IOC days, but that's about it. Why would that be? Winning is not everything to me. I would rather have a blast playing instead of winning. The reason I bring this up is because I feel that people have forgotten to have fun. If you ask anyone at any tourney why they entered, I bet they will say they came to win. Winning is fun, but doesn't it get a little boring playing against the same decks over and over? The most memorable duels I've had were against other people like me, the people who paid $5 for an afternoon's worth of entertainment. So I want all of you to think back to what made the game fun in the first place and try out a few new Ideas every once in a while. You can run cookie-cutters if you want, but you don't need to win every week, do you? Once every 1 or 2 months try out a new idea and have fun, then come back the next week with your usual routine. You'll be glad for the breaks you take.
