Christ, I just cant stand that Tom Rogers has been at least partially vindicated, by you of all people. It's like Einstein citing L Ron Hubbard.

Who the fuck is Tom Rogers?

Previously #1 Western Duel Masters Player I believe.

Wow, it's fucking nothing.

An asshole who has the need to say that literally every time he's brought up, starts drama everywhere, stays to his stupid little cult on GoF (and even they can barely stand him) and just shits up Pojo, Deckout and any other community with full blown retard peacoking assholeness. Imagine you, but as a total dick. Point is a while ago he made an article in which, in his full blown douche mode, he decried games that were too balanced and that didnt only a few viable builds because he said that with all decks being equal, games would amount to luck and skill wouldn't be the deciding factor. He did it in the most obnoxious way possible, but the point is I'm seeing he's right and it pisses me off to no end.

Individual games do not amount to chance. The probability that a given CLAN wins amounts to chance. He has it fucking backwards.

Not only that, he's double retarded. Removing balance simply makes 2-3 decks playable, once again making it all due to chance (using his fucktarded logic). Except it doesn't. And being balanced (IF it were true) would at least make the number of decks that are viable in this hypothetical omgluck world go up.

And I guess Chess and Go are omgluck games too given that they're so balanced.

I may just be projecting my dislike of his personality to the article, you're an unbiased genius on the subject, what do you think?

AND THEN I SAW THIS NUGGET:

Quote :

A game at it’s optimal health has a Tier Zero. This means there is one dominant deck which consistently defeats all others in the field of play. Why is that a good thing? Wouldn’t you want a large spectrum of unique, original decks with creative forms of victory? Isn’t that the “point” of the game?

Well that’s all nice, but you might as well stick that pacifier back in your mouth and ride your unicorn back to Candyland if you honestly believe having that many decks is good for the game.

I will find him.

And I will kill him.

That was painful to read.

His argument for not wanting a diverse amount of decks is pretty much flawed anyway as simply pointed out by Alice earlier; just turns those 2-3 decks into who gets what first.

Bitches about "Win Mongers".
Post opinions like one.

Could you maybe dial the "creepy fanboy" down a few notches?

Its just cool that Alice, my fav tcg personality, also dislikes Tom, my most hated tcg personality. She even used the same quote I did.

That's great. Try to sound a bit less like a stalker when you're saying these things.

Kay. Ill just keep it down to 4chan superfan levels from now on.

At least it's not the person who was calling her "Alice-sama" and treated her like his beloved senpai in a crappy slice of life high school romantic comedy complete with people running to school with toast in their mouths.

Er, wait. Maybe it is the same person. I can't remember.

Alice-sama? Wow that sounds pretty over the line.

Can we get back on topic, please?

Right then. So is there really no cure for this but time? Given its a REALLY popular misconception (and cutting away the bullshit like a nerdy Mike Lewis is one of your stated goals) do you think an article on Assertion is in Vmundi's future. (And may I suggest an overhead menu sideboard like on toplessrobot?)

Good job NK dude. You beat all of Mexico with an underpowered deck. God damn.

If that defeated Gold Paladin...Then well...

Confirming what we already know. Gold Paladins make up newbies from other games and bandwagon scrubs who thought it was omgTier1

You mean 0 right? :3

But yeah, some good evidence for that.

That Narukami deck. Mexico is either full of god tier players who can draw their one good Grade 3 whenever they want, or beyond the limits of being bad. So this guy moves on to the next level right?

yeap
