Where in Trincity & Tunapuna?  I'm not familiar with the east.  My only 'free' day is usually Sunday and somtimes Saturday evening.
I am making an open invitation for anyone who wants to come to my house & duel, pm me to make the necessary arrangements (I will organise refreshments etc).

QRC Tournament Report...well, from what I saw anyway.
« Reply #328 on: August 15, 2004, 01:33:44 PM »
Well, another tournament has come and gone, and, as usual, it's up to one of us who was there to post up the events which took place at the tournament. Unfortunately, I have to warn you in advance, this tournament went pretty damn AWFUL for me, and nearly caused me to quit dueling, so expect a few rants here and there when I'm compiling all of this together.

The tournament took place at QRC, in one of the classrooms (not the gym as advertised, due to the gym being assigned that day). It felt cramped, with all of the duelists there, and there were some concerns that duelists could use the sections beneath the desk to hide cards, but it wasn't too bad.

It got under way at 12 :30 (Talia, the organiser, was waiting for some people to come at 12), and the numbers for the first wave of duelists was announced. Balki, The_Falener and my numbers were among the first to be called, so we sat down and dueled our opponents. We all made it through pretty much okay, considering that spectators were all over the place. However, The_Falener had to duel his match over, because of a move involving Snatch Steal and Mataza the Zapper that he made (unknowingly) to win the match. He still won the match, under supervision.
Basically, everybody who was expected to win, made it out to the second round. The junior league then went under way, and, surprisingly, didn't take too long to finish. I'm not really sure who won that, as I was out getting something to eat. Perhaps somebody seeing this thread could elaborate on that.

The second round was under way, and this probably marked my most HORRID dueling experience EVER. My opponent was Cliff, the guy who came in second in the last GATT tournament, but that's not why it went so horrid. As we shuffled our decks, Cliff asked me if I reduced the cards in my deck. I told him no, not knowing that that should have been a tip off.
The duel went under way, and Cliff emerged victorious. However, as we shook hands and counted our cards, I noticed that I only had 39 cards.
I looked in my box, and, to my horror, 6 of my most powerful cards were still in the box! I told Cliff we should duel over, but then sparks flew, him stating that it was my own fault (which it was), and me trying to explain that I wasn't even playing with all of my cards, and with a deck of only 39, it wasn't a legal duel.

Well, boy, this was were I felt like I was the next victim of a Black Supremacist movement.

Several people jumped in and started to argue that I should have been disqualified (I checked the PDF, I only had to forfeit one duel to Cliff for that mistake), and I was 'a white man trying to put the black man down'.
Utter and complete rubbish. I turned to them and said 'Well, if you were in my shoes, wouldn't you have been doing the same?' They all said, 'No, we would have taken we loss and gone with it.'
Pardon my language, but BULLS**T. If they were so willing and able to jump to Cliff's defense like this, they most certainly would have done so if the tables were turned on them. Not that I'm blaming them at all for trying to aid a fellow duelist, but that line about 'Cliff being a black man having to overcome the white boy' really ticked me off at how truly racist they were in their defense. Ah, boy.

Well, poor Talia, who had to endure this level nonsense from both sides, finally got fed up and gave me my re-match. As the match started, people shouted 'Yeah, boy! Show him the power of the black man!' could he heard, which I promptly ignored. Balki showed up, and when they tried to explain 'in their own words' how the comess started, he said, bluntly,
"I don't care about how this started, let me just see the match."

Well, the match went under way, and I won the first match.
I did the right thing (well, in my opinion) and forfeited the second to Cliff.
Cliff won with Chaos Emperor Dragon, to which a great cheer erupted from my depressors. Apparently, they didn't care as long as I lost the match. God, did I feel like a heel. I shook hands with Cliff, congratulated him, and wished him luck in the final rounds. No hard feelings, and I'm glad Cliff and I are still friends, even after all this happened.

After all of this happened, I was just battling feelings of embarassment and rage. I couldn't move from my chair, I was practically cemented to it in pure guilt. A few duelists that I knew tried to comfort me, but I still couldn't shake it. Well, I decided that the best way to shake off this guilt trip was duel several people until I felt better, which I did.

Meanwhile, the duels condensed to the final two, Balki (Chaotic) and Anderson Lawrence, who is the Toymart champion.
It practically came down to a topdecking situation between the two, Balki fending off Anderson with a Sinister Serpent, and Anderson breathing down his neck with three monsters. Two plays later, Balki emerged victorious, and took home the prize of $300.
He then distributed flyers of his tournament at Cascadia Hotel on the 24th September, and invited everybody to come to the 'Reign of the Chaos Legion'. Now, a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 tournament is going to take place, and you know me. I probably won't be dueling that day, but best of luck to those that do.

Well at least I got a nifty dog tag out of the whole experience.
It went well, regardless of the conditions and the controversy that took place, and I'm pretty sure that the next time Talia hosts a tournament, it'll turn out great. I left soon afterwards, and, I guess I made peace with everybody, still getting some complements on my deck.


Well, if anybody has anything else to contribute on this topic, feel free to do so. Balki, in particular, is more than welcome to post up his tournament report and his thoughts here. I'll just leave with some Pros and Cons that I saw in the tournament:

Pros:

- Big turnout, and a lot of formidable duelists made an appearance here.
- The tournament ran pretty well, and the junior league finished pretty quickle, which we were all grateful for.
- I learned that several people are now the proud owners of a Morphing Jar! I think I started a trend.  :)
- My brother and I left one set of dog tags and 1 D.D. Warrior lady richer.

Cons:

- Losing in the second round.
- The cramped classroom.
- The blind opinions of the crowd at the rematch between me and Cliff.
- People deciding to cheat at the raffle by stealing the red cardboard and marking their numbers on it. I told Talia to just ditch the idea if they wanted to play dirty.

Well, that's all from me.
Later, and see you in the nationals! 8)

Okay, thanks NEO. My words are pretty simple about that entire situation with u and cliff. I wanted to say something but all that black man and White man Bull**** was really dissappointing for me to have to listen to so i stayed far off until it settled. As u said it was your fault that U left out your cards, but the way i see it, and this is my opinion and not anyone elses so please don't comment on it unless you have something good to say, Champion duelists are supposed to show that level of skill and good sportsman ship in the sense that if NEO had won the duel cliff would have complained and argued for a rematch because of the 39 cards scene. So if it would be fair for cliff to get a rematch if he lost because of those circumstances, then it would only be fair for NEO to have a rematch when he lost because it was under the same circumstances. Wrong is Wrong, whether u won with less than 40 cards or u lost with it, it is still wrong and the duel would have to be played over, talk damn done. Allyuh not realizing that Gatt duelists are being targeted at tournaments now and they seem to have no support because gatt members don't ever come out to support them. By the way, a certain group of duelists were cheating in the tournament AGAIN. They had their friends stand up behind their opponents and hint them to the cards in their opponents hands. I don't think i have to tell u who was doing this NEO, because it's always the same bloody group. With regards to cliff winning and everyone making noise hoss, i don't know bout them but that part where he seven tools the ring was really boss and that made me make noise, i didn't even stay to watch the end of the duel, so i really wasn't picking up for anyone. By the way the name of my tournament isn't the reign of chaos legion, it's Tec Fest: Embrace The Chaos or ETC as i like to call it. NEO, hoss your deck bad, but it just need a few fine tuning, i know that you don't need my opinion on your deck and that you probably don't want it, but i'm just saying that so you'll know. If u ever want just let me know and I'll show u what i'm talking about, and if you have any pointers for mine let me know. A good duelists dosen't just give advice he takes. Tons of people were only asking me who is the best between Myself, Johnathan and Chicken and i was like ' I don't know, and never really cared', people stop asking that nonsense, u tell me who you think is better, not me tell you. Personally i believe with the 3 of us it's basically the luck of the cards because we all rank among the same skill level as like others such as Brent, Fault and NEO. It's just that our decks are at their prime states, and that makes us alot harder to beat than the others. I'm lookin for Archangels and sanctuary in the sky by the way if anyone has to spare, to many people copying my friggin deck now man. I see an exact copy of my deck satuurday, the man tell me he write down the cards in my deck and build it over. what ever happen to originality. I should sue him, lol. Anyway, tournament was nice, not really hard to win at all with chicken and johnathan not being there too. I spent most of the time with my Wifey when i wasn't dueling so i didn't really do much trading. The only duels i watched was neo vs Cliff and when baby girl was using my deck to embarrass men. Good luck to all the Duelists at AC8, and come with the same intentions as me, to win, so it'll be that much sweeter when i do, Lol. SOMEBODY LINK ME WITH SOME ARCHANGELS AND 2 SANCTUARY IN THE SKY PLEASE.

Balki in the future PLEASE learn the use of paragraphing and proper spacing.
Your posts are always a headache for me to read.

With regard to NEO, personally I would NOT have forfeited the duel....
Hypothetically speaking , if I was a judge in that situation I would have probably ordered a rematch instead of blaming it on the duelist...
Wasn't their fault if they can't count :P
Besides their should have been someone doing some deck checking....
Anyhow , congrats Balki :)
U the same balki that sold out hisdeck last yr and tried selling me some?
THe dark deck?

Nope, not me, I'm the one and only original balki. I'm the same balki who stood next to you and watched you beat chris in the finals of gatt's second tournament. It was then and there that i decided that i must be as good as you and chicken. Eventually that turned into a must be better than you and chicken. Now, to me it's simply about doing stuff no one else does, like how i plan to beat people with Gate duardian after AC8 tourny, or when i beat a few of the good duelists with Perfectly ultimate great Moth, yuh know, the things people will emember when i'm finished dueling. yeah and until i learn the use of proper paragraphing and spacing, you'll just have to cope with me.Lol. And thanks, but winning that tournament wasn't anything tooooo special. I have to plan and look forward to AC8.

Well done Balky.  You handled yourself well in that situation NEO.  I'm sorry I couldn't be there to support you guys.  Maybe it's better I wasn't though.  You know how I get when I'm pissed, right Hidden?
Well said Balky, and continue the good work at AC8.
