the reason i play yugioh on here is so i can enjoy the yugioh i liked.

If that were the case, you would be trying harder to find a dedicated playgroup. I don't think you're looking in the right places to find the Yugioh you liked.

Your vision of yugioh has never been a reality. The closest it's ever gotten was middle school where no one could afford powerful cards and even then players in the know knew card effects trumped everything.

ill just say this ONE LAST TIME: if you dont like the way i play yugioh: dont join my duels. simple solution to problem
but once you join its my rules, my way.

the reason i play yugioh on here is so i can enjoy the yugioh i liked.
the current game IRL, to me, is boring, repetitive, and down right stupid, thats why i play on DB so i can play yugioh my way.
if you dont like "my way" then ignore me, ignore my posts, block me and move on. otherwise SHUT UP ABOUT IT!!!

Or how about this, stop lying to yourself and just admit the truth, you don't care about having fun, you don't care about playing the game "your way" because there is no "your way." You just want to win and you don't care how you have to do it, even if you have to bait and manipulate new players to get those wins because experienced players won't play into your rules and those who humor you will come out on top due to being able to play around your rules, and those are the ones you always accuse of breaking your rules and the ones you always block.

Yeah, it's pretty easy to pull off a win when your opponent can't use removal to get rid of your cards.

[ICannotPlayYu-Gi-Oh!]

are you trying to tell me to quit DB?

Honestly, that would be the only logical step, and here are a few reasons why.

You don't like the community: You clearly don't like the community, or at least the DB community due impart by the fact that you have the whole majority of the site on your block list, either because they didn't obey your rules, called you out on your nonsense, or some other petty reason that wouldn't be unbelievable.

You don't like the game: Another thing is that you clearly don't like the game in the slightest nor how it is played, hence why you have to demand your opponents to play by your outlandish rules because you don't want to play actual Yugioh.

You just want to win: To break it down, you care way more about winning than you do having fun, regardless of several statements you made saying otherwise, and the reason I say that is because the duel records you post in the forums are clear evidence of it. These are the patterns your duel records.
Pattern 1: Opponent joins duel > Opponent doesn't follow your rules > You get upset and quit the duel > Opponent is blocked.
Pattern 2: Opponent joins duel > Opponent follows your rules > Opponent manages to best you regardless of restrictions > You cry foul and accuse them of breaking your rules > You get upset and quit the duel > Opponent is blocked.
All and all, any time you are on the losing end of a duel, you always throw a tantrum and then block your opponent so you don't have to lose against them, never once do we ever see a duel record where you lose a duel and manage to keep your cool, it's always when you're winning do you keep your cool, and your rules contribute to that seeing that your rules pretty much forces your opponents to handicap themselves to the point that they cannot even hope to compete against you thus putting your opponents at an unfair disadvantage and giving you an easy win.

"I've been playing this, this, and this.": We've also noticed that you always bring up various other video games and such that you claim to be good at and claim to like a lot, which then raises the question of why not just stop playing Yugioh and play those games instead seeing that you like them much better?

In the end, telling you to quit DB and Yugioh as a whole is not something truly spiteful given that you show the behavior of someone who truly and deeply hates it, which makes us ask the question of why even play the game if you clearly hate it so much?

1: the reason my block list is so big is because im holding true to what i said about just blocking ppl who cant obey the rules i set for my duels.
2: i dont like what yugioh has become.
3: i can take a loss, it just depends on HOW it happened. if one needs to use board wipes, milling, discard, banish, burn, LP costless spam summon (2 or more SS in 1 turn without paying LP per SS) to achieve a victory in a duel against me, then theres a problem. i preffer a duel where one uses atk power to do 90% of their work especially when it comes to defeating monsters.

if there was an option to duel against computers where they use anime specific decks that the characters used in the show id much rather do that than duel someone who has a tendancy to piss me off. but like thatll ever happen!

So in essence: You can't take a loss. You begin to abuse and berate your opponent(s) once they do something you don't like. You always find some excuse to not accept a loss, and that's the unfortunate truth.

The thing is: No one in their right mind can ever enjoy the way you play. The way in which you play is borderline Yu-Gi-Oh! at beast, and I can't imagine a single other person plays the way you do.

good, that just means im unique! id rather be different and square over being the same and a circle (if you even know what that means!)

Is it really a good thing to admit to being so uniquely skillless that you need to create an environment where player skill straight up doesn't matter in order to win?

If a square means being mean to everyone and calling everyone out just for not knowing something then I rather be a circle (although I consider myself a perfect hexagon, thank you very much)

[NiwatoriFTW]

You see, the problem with being unique is that duels take two players. Unless you consider solo mode, that is.

[DuskWill]

because removal by effect is way to overused there!!!

That's how the game was played in 2005. Goat is a faithful recreation of 2005 gameplay.

whatever happened to battles based on attack and defense points? thats my kind of duel! where 99% of monster interaction is by battle!

Never happened. A complete fiction. Starter deck yugi and kaiba literally had dark hole in each deck, and you could have 3 raigekis, 3 change of hearts, 3 dark holes, 3 man-eater bugs, 3 walls of illusion, 3 fissues, 3 trap holes and 3 hane-hanes in the first few months of the game. Soul exchange was even in the game back then and it wasn't even good enough to see play.

Those were such dark times, though. Good decks having to feature essentially 95% the same cards, you never having a monster surviving over a turn unless you go full defensive, while trying to replicate the anime effectively and win being almost an illusion.

Not to mention the prices and the powercrept in a matter of months that was almost always replacing your whole deck.

But I suppose we all remember it fondly, no matter what.

[Lil Oldman]

Was everything in the past always good? Or do we only remember it good?

You were so eager to claim the mantle of being a unique special but you don't see that the statement could be boiled it down to "only you can enjoy an environment where player skill simply doesn't matter."

I honestly don't remember it fondly. I found myself in a limbo state where I was bored playing against classmates because it was a stomp in my favor since I was actually using an actual strategy instead of emulating the anime or getting my face stomped in by wallet decks at the game store.

[DuskWill]

I believe that's our natural inconformity to changes. We often have a biased perception of reality if we only take what we experience by ourselves and not check everything else in account, as well as other people's stories.

Still, there's the fact that a good portion of the fandom experienced the card game release as a kid, so we can't rely on just what we remember. There's that exhilarating feel of naivety, innocence and the whole anime connection that made our experiences... well, fun, to say at least. Perhaps it's natural to feel bad when revisiting the past and see how stuff really was.

Does that really matter? Why should everyone else handicap themselves to let you win because you're "different?"

I must admit that the same experience led me to a hiatus in real-life YGO between mid-2005 until the end of 2009. There were some online platforms back then that allowed some free gaming, so I could get this feeling of boredom without fearing for making the game about who invests more money on it. Because of that, I ended up tutoring newcomers more than actually playing the game.

Still, it was probably the same feeling of emulating the anime that made me get back in the actual TCG, since Yusei impressed me a lot. His deck wasn't even somewhat meta back then, but the fact that it was such a time where it took longer for decks to be powercrept, you could invest relatively little and, yet, increasingly improve your deck without drastically changing it's strategy was enough to make me play again. Also, most of the local players had move on from the game, so I couldn't be stomped by wallet decks (as often) until there were new people organizing locals.

Great. But that's not a reason to behave the way you do. You insult anyone that tries to help you balance your cards because all of them are broken and you know this since you refuse to let us use them and I know you'll deny it with a poor excuse. "Oh, I demand people to be original." You want originality? Pick effects other than immunities and lockdown effects. You use the same few counterarguments when we bring you up like they're the be all end all arguments. You insult anyone that manages to start beating you within your forced handicaps you set on your opponent, and then insult them or forcibly change the rules mid-game if they don't follow your handicaps. They're not even rules, they're handicaps. You want a deck based around numbers? Play Amazoness, WITH THE RECENT SUPPORT.
