I'm going to repeat a general response to this in the most mundane way I can conjure, because comments like this make it rather clear to me that some of the more professional players don't understand good learning, or have forgotten what it is like to be in the limbo period I am currently in.
By telling me to keep what I'll assume you'll call my "stupidity" silent, you are basically saying that I'm not good at this game, so I should stop using a tool to become better at this game.
That is contradictory.
By extension, one could go and say that you are saying I should stop trying to become better at this game; that it's not going to happen. That is rather condescending for no good reason.
-
A person does not get better at something if they do not question it.
Another way of wording that is that if you don't understand something, why not just ask someone to explain it?
Why does X work? Why not ask?
Why is Y a good deck? Just ask.
Why did PlayerOa go down 3-0 in this round? ... I asked, and received an answer.
In Kong, many people will post their decks, ask what makes a good deck, and ask a whole variety of questions. This is because asking people if you're confused or unsure is a good tool of learning. And another good tool of learning is actually teaching. There are more experienced people on Kong than I, so if I do say something incorrect, it's rare that I would not be corrected. As far as I care, what I am doing is common practice.
In the case of this game, I am was confused as to why PlayerOa lost this round, three nil. Looking at the decks, I expected at least 3-1. My general idea, before I asked, was that qwerter and PlayerOa would like to get in as much aggression as possible before their opponent played a bone wall - an early arsenic would help that quite nicely. With only one arsenic in the deck, it would be unlikely that you would get such an early arsenic.
As far as I know, this is a sound reason.
And, those parasites go down in one hit, giving Oa more bones for his bone wall and slows down the depletion of his walls. Seeing those parasites make for just under 50% of his creatures, I thought that would be enough. However, due to the bulkiness of nymphs and voodoo dolls, it would seem I was mistaken.
And yes, I've not been in War. For a number of reasons, I wasn't picked. That's fine; I hope that fifth member does better than I could for all of you.
That does not mean, however, I should not be able to enjoy this war, or not be allowed to understand it if something does not make sense to me.
Seeing this is the second time I've had to explain this to the exact same person, I expect a second apology.
Thank you in advance,
The fat sad war wannabe.
Ppstscript: why do I keep calling myself fat when you can see most of my bones just looking at my skin?
