Hi, my name is K’yde.
How are you? It’s been awhile since I wrote anything. To keep it short, 2014
hasn’t been a pretty year for Yugioh in Malaysia. Apart from all the new
updates on the game mechanics, plenty of major tournaments were scratched off
from our tournament schedule. Namely World Championship Qualifiers and Top
Store. So it was sorta a semi-competitive year for me (went back to music and
such.) Anyway, I am back playing Dueling Network with a new account and as
usual that place is infested with people who are a waste of time. We all know
that feeling when it happens so let’s start of 2015 with some laughs. Here is
Digital Mortal’s guide on being a noob on Dueling Network.
PLAY CANCER DECKS
Or “creative/innovative/different” decks. Probably the most
important rule of being a noob, or troll. It’s kinda like a trademark I should
say and the more cancerous it is the better. Underlining self-justification for
this action, simple, if you win it’s all about skills and has nothing to do
with luck. When you lose, it’s because your opponent was piloting a Meta deck
and probably opened broken. Nothing funny unfortunately.
ARGUE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT
Always argue no matter what the case (whether you are right
or wrong.) The more trivial the argument the better. For example, Compulsory Evacuation
Device or Phoenix Wing Wind Blast does not affect Extra Deck Monsters since
they cannot be returned to hand. Yes, you get the picture. Be as creative as
you can in this department. Moving on;
SWEAR AND BELITTLE YOUR VICTIMS
This point comes hand-in-hand with arguing. Make sure you
call your opponent names and use derogatory terms as much as you can. Adopting
a cancerous attitude is probably the best way to practice this point. You know,
live it to be it, change how you think change your life, or whatever floats
your boat.
QUIT WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH
One of the best way to annoy people who are looking to
play-test or want to play actual Yugioh. Whenever you find yourself in a tough
spot, fight-or-flight mode, always and I mean ALWAYS opt for flight. Whenever
your opponent goes into divine performance, run.
CHEAT, CHEAT, CHEAT, AND CHEAT
You know, summon Phantom Skyblaster and go into Number 16:
Shock Master (competitive Yugioh sucks I can’t believe no one thought about
this!) or activate some draw spell but disregard the cost or how it works (be
sure to draw additional.) You get the picture. There are plenty more of Game Shark cheats. Readers please
contribute/brainstorm by commenting below. Thank you!
PRETEND YOU ARE RETARDED
Join games that specifically says NO NOOBS, PLAY-TESTING
(INSERT DECK NAME), and so on. This is the best way to put all the above points
into practical use.
What’s the upside of being a noob on Dueling Network? It’s
like having one-sided sex. You have all the fun and leave your “opposition”
with a bad aftertaste. Please make sure to troll to the max, waste as much time
as you can, and be as retarded as your brain premits. There goes today’s post
peeps. Make sure you try it out and share your experience here. Not being able to play Advance using OCG List is definitely a drag. Thank you for
reading and happy noobing!
Hahaha, good to see you're back in the game, too K'yde. I'll try to post as much as possible, too, so let's hope everything will get better from now on.
ReplyDeleteHere in TCG the game will become quite diverse, as you still got Shaddoll (full power unlike in OCG), Burning Abyss, Qliphort and in a few months Necloth, so I expect the meta switching from a triangle into a square constellation.
Don't forget the stackers in real life, who are like: "Hmm what card do we have here, oh it's a monster let's stack this on top, this card card looks not useful, let's stack this one, too."
Then there are Upstart Goblin cheaters, etc etc.
Online we have guys who will draw or search multiple times when you're not paying attention. If they are going to lose they will go AFK and you have to wait till an admin comes, then they will rage quit.
So yeah that's basically what ygo looks like, it's not that everybody is like that but a big majority of the the players I see behave like that.
Happy new year and greetz from Germany,
Kahzel
Happy new year Kahzel!
DeleteOCG is in the limbo now but Nekroz, Qliphort, and Heroes are still the dominant competitive deck choices out there. Pretty sure all of that won't matter when Number 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon hits official status. Dragon Rulers are too good~
Nekroz is going to wreck TCG when it lands. Hahaha! Yugioh community online is...toxic in some senses. True that not everyone behaves that way. Majority of those who behaves that way gives us a bad rep. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Yeah, I've seen Dark Matter Dragon, too. I hope that Dragon Rulers/Mythic Dragon Rulers will rise up again, haha.
ReplyDeleteNekroz will make quite an impact, yeah. Pretty happy that I could trade 1 Nekroz of Gungnir in Ultimate Rare yesterday on the sneak, even though you'll only play 1 copy.
I'm pretty excited how the TCG and OCG will develop in the next few months.

Not sure if i am happy about Dragon Rulers coming back but if it's Meta i will definitely pilot it. Though it is kinda redundant. 2013-2014 Dragon Rulers, i sure hope 2015 won't be a dead repeat of that.
DeleteGungnir's design is pretty. It's one of my lucky charms. Hahaha! Development-wise, It would be great if Konami comes up with a non-mainstream archetype which is Meta material.
