Pharaoh_Atem Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Don't deny it YCM' date=' if it weren't for me you would never laugh at pojo. [/quote'] That's not "making laughing at Pojo cool." That's "making laughing at Pojo when this place is no better" cool. Even then, you only made it cool in the YCM sense; GameFAQs has been doing it ever since... well, ever.

HORUS Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I've never even been to Pojo, so I don't know how funny it really is, but from what I've heard, it appears to be hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b7hamma Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hey... is that the real Pharaoh Atem? It is and he's right. I've always found it ironic. YCM is like at the bottom of the food chain (and Gfaqs is pretty close). They're in no position to make fun of anyone except themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizzaman Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 The only decent people seem to be in the Japanese card section.There's actually someone who understands our meta rather than pretending to understand it there, and that's already a plus.

J-Max Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I always laugh at Pojo's Card of the Day reviews. "WOW! WE NOW HAVE MORE MONARCH SUPPORT!" They also slate any card that isn't Meta Material. Come on.... They re-reviewed Harpies Feather Duster a while back. Why review a card that will NEVER be unbanned?

Sanctioned tournaments are pretty much filled with people who want to get their rating up to within the 150th place by the end of the week, so they can enter the nationals.

Orochi Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 could be worse, we have the official info at days of the event... the LODT SP was on saturday, we got the info on wednesday...

I'm a good deal pressured to ask whether or not you have any info about Konami's own communication to the players. I'm sure the OCGers ask Konami why it makes cards like DAD - however, I've always wondered whether or not the OCGers' opinion of Konami as a cardmaker is a low opinion or not.

The general opinion of Konami, by looking at larger Japanese forums, is this:"Konami does not playtest cards""But Konami is better than UDE when it comes down to card rarities""Konami needs to write card effects in Japanese... not Konaminese" The last point refers to Konami not being certain about card effects, and rulings that seem to come out of thin air.Strange rulings are called 超裁定 (super-rulings) and is usually the butt of the joke on 2ch and such.

The Dark One Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 what do u mean minus the n00bs ycm has great members Key Phrase: Minus the Noobs. Ever since the GFAQers joined, the noobs are quickly refuted any time they say something stupid, thus making this a better environment. (As opposed to Pojo, where the shear number of idiots keeps the intelligent people from winning any argument.) There are a lot of idiots on YCM. We're just better at controlling them.

I wanna see some of these Chousaitei! I would think that they operate just like what the TCGers call "KSS" - a case of "Konami ga sou itterukara, Because Konami Said So." I don't see how it took so long to make Synchro DAD work. I'd think that some sort of combo between anything + the card noted to be responsible for a lot of a certain format's pain = the first thing folks would try... In reference to Konami not playtesting: Doesn't Konami get any complaints sent to them about it? Trust me, this is one point of contention where the TCG is with you OCG boys ALL THE WAY! To put it bluntly, one of the best duelists I'm acquainted with... came up with good reasoning to Prohibit Snipe Hunter, through a lengthy, well reasoned argument. To be honest, there was no way to successfully refute the argument; Snipe, therefore, does deserve the prohibition until the argument is refuted. However, I digress. A friend of that duelist, another one of the best duelists I'm acquainted with... said that "Dark Armed Dragon should be a Fusion of Snipe Hunter and The Winged Dragon of Ra." Considering that the forum that these players frequent... abhors most of the silly parts of gameplay (like the Sangenshin), for them to make a reference to it... means that they mean business about what they say. In reference to Konami being better about rarities: Folks need to ask themselves about what's different between the OCG and TCG. It is irrefutable that all internationally known evidence points to the TCG having a better Organized Play system, between the mass Regionals, Shonen Jump Championships, Pharaoh Tour Events, Sneak Previews, et cetera. The TCG might have to deal with bullshit changed names and images at times, but I'd take the TCG events over OCG events in an instant. However, these events cost money, and admission cost to them is on a strict not-for-profit basis. Often, it's not even used to pay UDE's costs for the events. UDE has to foot the bill somehow; rarity changes DO drive up demand of the pack as a whole, albeit artificially. In reference to writing effects in Japanese v. Konaminese: Kindly clarify a bit further ~ mou ichidou, kudasai, pizzaman-san. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a problem with Omega, you are mentally impaired in some sort of way, most likely in the way that forces you to care too much about internet matters.
