CALLING ALL DUELISTS

[AIDS]

Well the banlist for the game is not customizable so that means that the game may allow you to put a card in your deck that we may have banned.

In addition to the forbidden cards in the game we have banned Final and Exodia. This means that the game will allow you to have it in your hand but if we see the card during the game we will disqualify you.

I have to get the official word on what cards are banned and what is allowed and I will post it tomorrow. I will also give an update as to wether or not we are gonna be using the YVD and if you will be able to register on the morning of the tournament.

If it is YVD you're using SPK and I could come and have everything set up pretty fast. other than that its just point and click, and we can use all the rulings available, cards, offcial banlists etc.

Sad to say but the Yu Gi Oh competition has been postponed for two weeks. The advantage is that you have more time to practice and to encourage your friends to attend as well.

The official tournament date shall be Sat. 22nd July and this also affords us the opportunity to consider using the YVD. The prizes remain the same though and we will post the specs of the machine soon since we have already aquired it.

Any further announcements will be posted to this thread so stay tuned.

I suggest this thread be moved to Duelist Central.
Your target audience is there, and the message would be lost here in announcements.

EDIT: Made a new thread for this in Duelist Central.


Another comment I think I should make, though.
Banning cards outside of what's officially banned is tantamount to tampering with the rules.

Ergo, if Exodia and FINAL were banned, some people (especially the few Exodia players I do know) are going to be pretty ticked off, and their main argument is going to be: "But it ent banned in the real card game! What madness is dis!" and that's pretty much going to have them not considering coming. While I have been told that somebody draws Exodia 'easy,easy' and thinks it's too much advantage, that's all a matter of personal opinion, and has no place in the running of a tournament, unless the creators of the games say otherwise.

I'm sorry, but that really needs to be said.
Other than that, I'll rally as much people as I can get.

Thanks for the advise and support N.E.O.

Will take it into consideration.

Anytime. Us gamers have to watch out for each other, you know.

yeah

what neo is saying bout banning exodia and final is true, its pretty much an abuse of the rules, and if it is because men for some reason find it to"cheap" or somehting, then they need to become better duelist.

I mean honestly, whos afraid of the big bad wolf named exodia any more any ways??

But if the reason yall banning it is becuase of some weakness of the game itself that greatly increases the  probability of exodia and final being drawn. Then the game itself should be scrapped and maybe yvd used instead.

I honestly dont like the idea of using this program for tournament purposes. yvd would be a better choice since its pretty much a simulation.

That's a very interesting point you brought up there, Crixx.
One of the people in charge of the tournament told me that he draws Exodia like nothing.
Then again, he could just be lucky. It's not like that's a first in this game, anyway.

People don't really fear Exodia anymore in the game because of the loss of  crucial cards like Painful Choice and Pot of Greed. No more dump and revival with Backup Soldier, folks. True, Emissary of the Afterlife is a solid add-on to an Exodia deck, but, given the advent of cards like 'Macro Cosmos', Exodia won't be seeing top-tier anytime soon.
