Sound4 activated Solemn Strike when the opponent was given the Okay for Polymerization wanting to use Solemn Strike on Whale.
Yeah...you couldn't do that as the Opponent hasn't declared their chains. The activation timing was wrong. Especially considering if I saw my opponent activate Solemn Strike I can make Solemn Strike hit a different card than my Whale when setting up the chains. Doing Whale CL1, Penguin CL 2, Chain CL3.
Next at 6:30 Sound4 SHOWS they don't know how continuous spells work. As they claimed Toy Vendor was set, implying it can't be activated. Then makes the opponent wait about 2 minutes before allowing it as they had to look to see if it was legal. This is showing me that Sound4 deserved beginner status (implying this is ranked).
At 8:57 Sound4 plays Live Twin Lil-La then tries to get its effect off. The opponent tells him to read his card 4 seconds later as it cannot be activated. Either Sound4 is trying to cheat here, or really doesn't belong in ranked.
Sound4 at 9:32 says "Be quiet, you're annoying me." But...why would you say that when your opponent needs to communicate? What you're doing here is trying to shutdown that line of communication. My guess is "Silence is consent", so you want to deny your opponent to respond.
At 9:44 the opponent calls a judge and we see Maniez pop in asking for the issue. At 9:59 Sound4 says "hi, while the opponent at 10:01 goes to say "My opponent is being disrespectful after trying to make an irregular play". While Sound4 says "Judge can you verify to see if the plays were legal? And to check logs" This is telling me again Sound4 doesn't know how yugioh works and needs permabeginner or is wanting to cheat because he was in a losing position. Also saying "And to check logs" would only HURT whatever claim Sound4 would make.
Unfortunately, I get why Maniez gave Redoer a warning, but to not issue a warning to Sound4 regarding rudeness despite him initiating it first feels like a slap to the face. I would had gave them both warnings, but that's just me.
At 15:32 Sound4 thinks that the Fusion Summon of the 3rd Whale was illegal, meanwhile Sound4 is showing he didn't read Scythe.
At 17:11 Sound4, despite having no legal play tells the opponent he is thinking in response to Chain's response effect. While at almost a minute later the opponent goes ahead and resolves. And we typically see this behavior because of a past replay of Ingeneiro of stalling because he was in a losing position.
At 18:27 Sound4 said You actually don't continue when I say think" and 10 seconds later "Keep that in mind". So which is it sound4? You agree the opponent has a right to respond? Or is silent consent? But while what he says is technically correct. Sound4 is maliciously stalling as he has 0 legal plays. He should had said "yeah good to go" instead of waiting about 2 minutes or however long this malicious stall will be.
At 20:48 Sound4 says "I'm not allowed to think?" You had 0 plays bro, ABSOLUTELY 0. There was no "think" in that situation. Don't get me wrong, saying "thinking' even if you had 0 plays is useful to make the opponent think you have a hand trap, but making them wait this long is a bit ridiculous. So I know you weren't trying to bluff the opponent.
The judge comes in at 30:04 almost 10 minutes later since the call. Maniez I personally don't think he realized what kind of player Sound4 was since he has a history of this. While he is correct telling the opponent they had the right to respond, the opponent brings up a good point. IF Sound4 just gave the go ahead instead of wasting nearly 12 minutes the duel could had been over by now.
The opponent is really fed up with the situation, and he should really just let the judge do his job instead of making it harder on the judge. This goes for about 6 minutes.
At 36:45 the judge flat out asks Sound4 if he has a response, while Sound4 was avoiding the question. For almost a minute. If I was a judge and saw anyone do that, they'd be given a match loss at the very least.
Sound4 was asked a minute later responding with "Nice copy and paste I never wanted to respond" this alone shows malicious stalling and I would had froze them on the spot.
Sound4 tries to appeal but can't appeal a senior judge. Maniez was done dealing with Sound4's crap so he was frozen.
As for the opponent wanting to report the judge over what happened despite ruling in his favor in the end, is a little petty, but I get why.
Again Sound4, there was 0 reason for you to hold up the match for 10 minutes. When all you had to do was let your opponent play. You didn't because you were salty that you were losing against Fluffals.
I will explain each point one by one
1) It is not my fault that he didn't declare chains in the first place I am simply responding accordingly that is his responsibility to get the timing right.
2)I wasn't actually looking up the ruling I was looking at logs that is why I said "OK continue" as what he did was fine.
3) I didn't realized at the time My love twins effect and its limitation simple as that. No issue here.
4) My opponent kept ranting about stuff which wasn't important which you ignored to try to make look like the bad guy but that is besides the point. I said "think" and I could barely think with saying stuff which wasn't even important.
5) It is the judges job to look at logs and that everything was legal. I was saying look at logs as it is more clear there and I explained this to him in previous judge calls as well.
6) I was being as respectful as I can but the point is the opponent knew I was thinking and saying unimportant stuff would only dluw down the process.
7) I never said the summon of whale was illegal I just did know how he did it which he would not say.
8) I said think and I said this to Maniez that I wanted to ask him a question yet Maniez didn't care I was about to ask him but he was resolving when I said think you know this.
9) You obviously didn't get the point of this entire thread that if the opponent is silent then that is consent but I said "think" so I wasn't silent.
10) I was wanting to ask him a question which I told Maniez.
11) Actually Maniez had judged many of my previous duels. I wasn't avoiding the question I was telling Maniez that I wanted to ask him a question. Actually I said that as I told Maniez many times that I wanted to ask him a question.
This was a horrible judge call. Did you seriously ignore when I said multiple times for Maniez to show the logs that I was thinking for ten minutes which he refused to? Which was the main reason for his decision. Plus I still has a few play and the duel wasn't done yet.
