Western Tournament - Nov 6th - Lazy Man's Game - unupgraded

[Higurashi]

Nope, between matches is between matches. For something to be in between something, you have to start it first. I.e. you have to do one duel for it to be able to be in between duels. A basic grasp of English will always be necessary to work well with these tournaments.

Great idea for laazy people like me.... *sits back and relax* Oh wait, I still have to press spacebar
Look forward to it, might be building a more flexible deck so one loss isn't automatically all lost (mutation hax anyone?)

[Rooftrellen]

Forgive me for perhaps not understanding my native language that well.

That would explain my struggles with Portuguese I suppose.

Perhaps you assumed something by my current residence, but I spent the first 22 of my 24 years of life in America, am a native speaker, and only moved to Brazil to be with my wife.  I do hope that I have, at least, a "basic grasp of English," or English as a whole may have changed beyond recognition in the past 10-15 years.

Instead of insulting you as you have to me (and you thought the suggestions last week were belittling the TO's?) I will simply show you why you are wrong.

If I start the tourney, match 1, duel 1, I am in a duel, and I will not be able to change my deck between any two duels according to the rule, as written.

So:

Match 1, duel 1 to match 1, duel 2.  I cannot change because I am between duels.

Match 1, duel 2 to match 2, duel 2.  I cannot change because I am between duels.

Match 1, duel 2 to match 1, duel 3.  I cannot change because I am between duels.

Match 1, duel 3 to match 2, duel 1.  I say I cannot change because I am between duels.  You claim that in this situation, I am NOT between the two duels, when clearly, I am between two duels, but these duels are just in different matches.

Now I just have to question why you would be insulting on the subject, or attempt to be.  Even if I were not an American, and even if I were Brazilian, I can't imagine a jab at someone's English was in order in the slightest, particularly when it is painfully obvious that a tourney is a series of duels ("A match consists of up to 3 individual duels. The player who first wins 2 duels, is the winner. Winner goes on to the next round and the loser is eliminated from the tournament"), and as such, there is never a moment in the tourney that you are NOT between duels (and can access the deck management area to change a deck).

Forgive me if this was just a bit too long, but I don't take well to being insulted, and I DO feel quite insulted when someone tells me that I do not have a basic grasp of my native language.

Change it or don't; I have no motivation to participate in a tourney run by someone attempting to be offensive and inflammatory, anyway.

standard rainbow can duel with many situations, but I'm too lazy to build one and stall with it

[~Napalm]

D'you reckon Lazy Person's Game sounds good? 'Cause I dunno..

Well, we can always do a random 5 mins of deckbuilding between matchups deckbuilding contest on the fly

Special Rules
No upgraded cards
No rares are allowed.
Changing deck between duels with the same person is not allowed.

i get where you're coming from Rooftrellen (<3 tree!) but higurashi already edited the rules to make it somewhat clearer so there should be no confusion about matches/duels

[Malignant]

An extremely lazy man will not even come to the tourney XD.

[Jangoo]

Hehe Higurashi, you are really getting it now with the "specificness" of rules and tourney-rules.

I must say though, that I agree with every amendment made so far:

- would have gone straight for upped decks again
- would have been at least hell of confused about the "in between duel"-thing

These tourney-rules are indeed a nice showcase for what we discussed in the tourney-feedback-thread before . 


 

As a side note, I've had to DQ plenty of people who have used upped cards in an unupped tournament despite it being specified in the rules. Doesn't really have any impact. Thanks for the concern.

Well, if its there, unambiguously in the special tourney-rules, then there is really nothing left to
help these people.
General tourney-rules state absolutely nothing about upped/unupped cards, so just assuming
that tourneys are "usually unupped" is a mighty slippery path.

Calm down, Higurashi.  You're getting dangerously close to flaming, even if you mean well.

[Higurashi]

Not at all. Nowhere did I say I was talking about anyone specific, nor am I. It's simply a matter of understanding terms. Rounds consist of matches, and matches of duels. You can't be between duels when you've started a new match. Very simple.

[Troh]

weapons like Pulverizer , vampire dagger  etc are count like rare cards?

[kobisjeruk]
