[quote="GayNProud":1oqk4met]And the saga continues with these judges.
https://www.duelingbook.com/replay?id=623896-63331935Hey Dude directly coached my opponent on his options on how to respond to my Sky Striker spell effect. A piece of information that not only could help my opponent in making their decision on how to respond, it indeed, won them that g1.
Hey Dude's rationale to this not being coaching is the quote he found: "Judges should answer questions about: o Game mechanics o The legality of the activation of an effect o Card text Questions such as the above should have a bearing on the current Game State."
He claims that this is situation was a "Game Mechanics" one. Huh? How?
TRAIN. YOUR. JUDGES! Without the player base, there is no Duelingbook. Therefore, respect us enough to listen to us. You are not angels. You are not Fairy types. Thanks.[/quote:1oqk4met]
Your opponent literally asked how exactly your card would resolve due to a mechanic in the game.
You then refused to answer the question because you deem it as "coaching" when it isn't.
Coaching would be for example "Hey, I had 3 set cards and I'm thinking about playing Magic Drain, Magic Jammer, or Imperial Order so what would be my best move be?"
It would not be "How does your card work exactly? Do you have to destroy one of my spell/traps to pop one of my monsters?" especially when there are cards that would require the 1st action to be performed to do the 2nd action and other cards not so much.
The judge did not guide the player into what move they should make, your opponent was already thinking about responding Diabell.
This isn't talking about how you illegally targeted a negated monster's effect with Widow Anchor and your opponent gave you information on why that wouldn't work. Yet you don't have the respect to do the same for the opponent?
You then say to your opponent and I quote " oh i have no issues with u, we had a ruling or game dispute thats not a problem it happens" but apparently it was such a problem you tried to cheat your opponent and be completely uncooperative, when you could had just answered the question about the game mechanic from the get go, this of course is implying you knew the actual answer.
Honestly, you're putting yourself into the situation that gets a judge to rule against you.
Now I'm willing to bet if the judge had sided with you for any reason, you would not had made this thread. I genuinely believe that you think you're always going to be right and if any judge disagrees with you, they are a tyrant. That's frankly a problematic disposition to have and if I was a judge, you'd be perma frozen as you just cause nothing but problems for the staff.
That Judge gave me incorrect ruling, and his given verdict cost me the game.
