Sorry for the long drought of blogs for YGO stuff. I figured I'd try and make you laugh a bit on what you shouldn't do at a local tournament. I'll just come up with 10 things. Have fun reading!
1. Don't bring a binder full of commons! It pisses me off when I'm about to get all excited about looking through a huge binder of cards only to find out that it's full of really shitty commons! Seriously? Do you have to put every card you own in your binder? I'd rather just look at commons in a stack or in a box! What I hate even more is that they're not even organized! Please just put them in a stack! It'd make a lot more sense!
2. Don't bring your girlfriend to your locals! I mean it's alright if she plays too, then it'd make sense, but if all she's gonna do is either watch you or be really bored while you're probably getting your ass kicked, you just might not have a girlfriend at the end of the day! You should realize that she's gonna be around a bunch of single guys that act really dumb and flirty, and because they're jealous, they'll call her ugly on you! Seriously! If you have a girlfriend that wants to do stuff with you on a Saturday, then you shouldn't be at the tournament in the first place!
3. Don't ruleshark your opponent! It's a fucking locals! Your fellow scrubs are gonna fuck up somehow, and it always happens! All you can ask them to do is just put that extra card at the bottom of the deck, or just let it go. If you go to MY locals, and you ruleshark over a win, you're really sharking over TWO fucking packs! It's not worth it, my friend. Just play and have fun. And we all know who I'm talking about! That's pretty much why I wrote this one!
4. Don't play in the tournament if you KNOW you're not going to top. You essentially pay an extra dollar for a pack for playing in the tournament. If you know that's all you're gonna get because you keep losing, then just don't enter anymore! There are a few people that go to my locals that NEVER win, and they pay $5 every week just to play in the tournament. Folks, it's just not worth it! If you wanna get better, then just ask the best players for advice and to playtest against them. You'll only get better that way.
5. Don't leave your stuff laying around! The past couple of weeks, other people's stuff came up missing due to their lack of responsibility. I swear! The next mat that I see laying around, I just might take it! I wish people were allowed to suffer consequences like that for leaving stuff around, but unfortunately, I can't take anyone's stuff. However, someone might take it, then leave. If you bring a lot of stuff, you're better off leaving most of it at home.
6. Don't bring a large pizza to the card shop! If you're a fat pig and you expect all that food to serve as your meal, then you better be ready to share! It's fine if you bring it, wanting to eat 3 slices, then selling the rest for $1 a slice, but if you don't wanna fucking share your huge ass pie, then don't bring it! Eat it in the car for all I care! It's not like your trades are gonna go away because you decided to eat a large pizza in the car.
7. Don't put shit that you're not gonna trade in your trading binder! Oh my god the worst offenders are so common! The more that I look through a binder and I see the one card that he's not trading because he's keeping it for a deck, the more I just wanna just jack it and go right on home! It just goes to show you! If you're not willing to lose something that you're not using, then don't bring it! I wish more people could follow that logic! I feel like I'm the only one that says everything in my binder is for trade.
8. Don't tell everyone you're the best player in the store! God I hate cocky players that think they can every single game. You know what? The more you trash talk for yourself, the more fuel you give everyone else to play better and eventually 2-0 your ass! Not only will you lose to someone, but you will lose the respect of everyone else at that locals. In the end, God has the last word and will make sure that only the victims win.
9. Don't make love to your girlfriend at the shop! Didn't I already tell everyone to leave their girlfriends at home? I seriously don't wanna see you 2 kiss and make out before a round! I mean there are kids there too! You'll get them to make out with their mothers for God's sake! Please do us all a favor, and save the kissing and making out for some other time!
10. Don't act like the characters on the show while playing! God it annoys me to hear someone say this! "BLUE EYES! ATTACK RESCUE RABBIT WITH WHITE LIGHTNING! NOW!" Did you know the rest of us players take this game way more seriously than that? Just remember this! This is NOT the TV show! Your opponent probably won't have that kind of sense of humor, and will probably slap you on the back of the head for being a dumb idiot that watches WAY too much TV!
Well that's it! Follow these things, and you will have more respect at your locals! Well I hope you do at least.
