SO...What Have You Done For This Game!

[huggybear]

We really love yugioh and thus we play it alot and we want it to last a very long time.But really what have you done for this game for it to progress further besides playing it.And then we hate on people who are actually trying.
(see the Jae Kim rant)
Me, well I introduced alot of people to this game and they are still playing it.I buy the sets.I teach what i know to the newer players.
So what have you done?

Special mention to Simon Key. From this thread i found out that he moderates 3 different Yugioh rules sites as well as answering questions via e-mail and serving as a sounding board on many issues from UDE as well as volunteering as a judge on a consistant basis on all levels.

Great job man.

[scen]

Well i've bought cards. I like to think that helps the game in my own little way.

Also introduced a few people to the game, lent people cards to get them more competitive etc.

[DrDroo]

See your sig.


did you seriously start a thread about the fact that you buy yugioh cards? Congrats.

[itailianstud13]

so you put money towards UDE? kool you sponsor a company just like any other company in the world, you a becoming a person of society

[luckyspell]

I've participated in several shadow duels against tweens, and teens. Needless to say my contribution was getting rid goths, emo punks, and generally the trash that makes yu-gi-oh lame to play.

On a serious note, doing something for this game doesn't really seem like anything to brag about, it should be about what this game can do for you/others.

Wasn't there something involving the make-a-wish foundation, and yu-gi-oh?

Yeah a kid got to make his own card up. ill find it now

Tyler the great warrior (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Tyler_the_Great_Warrior)
"Make-A-Wish Foundation is a company where kids with life-threatening medical conditions can make a wish. 14-year-old Tyler Gressle wished for his own Yu-Gi-Oh! card: Tyler the Great Warrior. This card is the only one of it's kind in existence."

[Oz1534]

the card is Tyler the Great Warrior

[luckyspell]

That's got to be the most awesome thing to have ever happened dealing with yu-gi-oh.

Too bad the kid probably never got to use it :(

And this sir, is what makes you a national treasure. :D

[TacoKing]

Judged...a lot...

[Dale]

very few people can say that have done anything for yugioh

[TROOP-DOOP]

I Now I Play With Some Of The Top Players In Caly Like Corn Defao And Whene You Beat Them All The Do Is Talk Crap

[Volkamar]

I've not used Dark Armed Dragon, DDT, Six Sam, Exodia or Explosion Decks.

[St1ffler]

I have killed 3 people in my Blue-Eyes White Dragon world domination.

[R_Dominguez]

I don't believe there's much we can do FOR the game except buy packs and volunteer in any way we can that helps the game. (i.e. Judging, Demoing, etc.)

[UNTOUCHABLE/DADE]

I have played crazy decks and top 4rd at reg over cookie giving people hope that you can play fun decks and still do good :D

[The_Dark_Monarch]

I often get told by those who do not know me that I have done nothing for the game or for Pojo.

Fact is, if they knew me, they would know the umpteen times I have given suggestions to help fix people's decks. They would know the many newbs I have helped win their first tournament. They would appreciate all those times I have actually given cards away, made decks for newbies out of all my commons, with a couple of holos (if I have more than 1). Four times, I have chipped in with cards when people have had their decks stolen. I also provide a lot of "moral support" & I am like a big surrogate sister/mother in this game.
While it doesn't account for much...
Yer, I am a big softie, but I can also be downright mean if I choose to be.
Usually, if people are nice to me, I will bend over backwards to help. If they are unappreciative/arrogant, I just go "screw 'em", although I expect no appreciation or reward...etc.

[pizzaman]

Giving money to Konami and UDE.
The only contribution I've actually done for this game.

[ilot]

That's got to be the most awesome thing to have ever happened dealing with yu-gi-oh.

Too bad the kid probably never got to use it :(

the kid beat his illness, didn't he?

anyway, i do give away some commons and rares (useful ones of course) to others

[Spells]

i spend money enough said. oh yeah setting up hobbie tournys at my locals.

[wid veggie]

burned a stein in the stein format videod it and put it on youtube, probz still there lulz...

one less stein in the format. someone i know was the person to come up with woodland sprite OTK lulz.

[KillinSpoon]

I Now I Play With Some Of The Top Players In Caly Like Corn Defao And Whene You Beat Them All The Do Is Talk Crap

Are you still here??




And yes, Tyler did beat his illness, however the card isn't legal for tournament play, so he can't use it anyway, lol. Talk about a wish wasted.
I think I read somewhere on pojo that he traded it too. -No idea why you would do that.

[[Yuuki Juudai]]

Well I use to have a little duel academy. I taught younger duelist new to the game but willing to learn and exceed in it. Also, basically buying packs and giving away useful cards that I had doubles of to the less fortunate.

[SSj2TeenGohan184]

Why should I care about other people? I play this game for myself.

[FlareWingman]

I started the "turd kitty" saying for Neo Spacien Dark Panther at my store :D

[PJ]

I started the Counter Fairy thread.

[Hollistar]

I started the Pojo Date Reports rofl.

[Yoshida]

i have my minions buy me childrens card games, for i have far too much money to do it myself

[hinato kazuya]

I give stuff away and I helped 2 Kids from my local get really good.

[FlareWingman]

Also, I have taken the soles of many of duelists so that one day I may reincarnate my dead wife with the powers of shadow magic...lol...

I think we have a winner.LOL

[Memo333]

I try to lure people to buy boosters then get the good stuff lying that it sucks,./...lmao...joking.

[Patrick Murray]

I guess the only thing that I can honestly say I have brought to the game is a new dueling disk. It is designed in the shape of a Cyber Dragon with the deck being placed in the mouth and a 20 card storage area directly behind that on the other side for a side deck/fusion. The graveyard has a adjustable sub panel that can be used to seperate the removed from play from the regular graveyard. The card panels fold in and slide into the arm base for less space and it pulls out simular to the newer dueling disks where they strech out from the main body that is on your arm. For thoughs that think I am talking trash I can send you a image via email for proof. But that is my only real contribution minus buying and playing like everyone else.

basically in short: pojo is full of people who dont use this sight for what it was meant to be used for.

Yeah.
You see, the thing is, I remember what it was like when I started playing 4 yrs ago.
There was much more comeraderie amongst duelists, people were all to willing to help their fellow duelist out & cared for others besides themselves.
The spirit of the game was alive & well back then.
Now, things have changed for the worse.
With all of this "serious business" going on & with many people who just refer newbs to Metagame when they want help with their decks & won't part with a janky common unless they can trade a somewhat playable holo for it..
well, you guys get my point.
I am still like I was when I first started. I don't go around saying "this deck is garbage & barley any win condition" & spout stupid "memes" to make others feel bad. If the deck needs work, I try & tell people why certain cards are more preferrable over others, or duel them to test their decks out.
A lot of people are selfish & dis newbs, when all they are doing is asking for help & advice.
There are times when they just won't listen, however & that's when you say "all the best with it then & I hope it playtests well for you".
There's a good feeling you get when somebody needs a card you have (urgently) & they don't have anything you want, so you give it to them.
Just last week, this little kid had a crappy Exodia deck, full of Tributes (like Buster Blader & Dark Magician) & banned cards. I made a Dark Gaia deck for him & gave him 3X Dark Gaia, Morphing Jar, Neo Spacian Grand Mole, 3X Fossil Tusker, 2X Barrier Statue of the Drought, Dark Ruler Ha Des, 2X Summoned Skull, 2X Newdoria, 3X Opticlops, 2X Evil Hero Infernal Gainer, Spirit Reaper, Snipe Hunter, 3X Dark Fusion, Premature Burial, Smashing Ground, Lightning Vortex, 2X Shrink, Nobleman of Crossout, 3X Sakuretsu Armour, 2X Dust Tornado & a Raigeki Break.
(he already had 2X Gigantes, MST, Heavy Storm, SORL, Pot of Avarice & a Torrential Tribute)

that reminds me of how I got a kid next door who had a terrible splashed together deck to build a zombie deck(it was out of his own cards). The next day I brought him to a local(his first one), and he got 4th place. He was happy and he got a prize hobby deck box.

I do remember how when I was starting this game people were good sports mostly, and gave hand shakes to. Now only like 50% are good sports and the others always get pissed and say "luck sack, you have no skill at all, rip that deck out your ass" then they go outside and smoke because they stressed themselves out so much.

[Hell Kaiser Chris]

I don't contribute. =)

[Senju]

I've participated in several shadow duels against tweens, and teens. Needless to say my contribution was getting rid goths, emo punks, and generally the trash that makes yu-gi-oh lame to play.

You forgot Yu-Gi-Oh Gangstas.

[Oz1534]

The reason i help people out in this game is because at one time we were all newbs and didn't know what we were doing....and its very true back when the game first started it was much more friendlier. Now its really really competative and people just don't care about the people starting out, i have coached a few people on how to play this game...and several times i have helped people rebuild their decks when they got it stolen cause im just a kind person.

[OraCle]

I taught someone everything he knows so I deserve credit for his 2 Jump and 1 Nats Day2s, along with about 9-10 regional T8s in less than a year and a half =P.

[Yellow]

I sometimes give commons, and a few times I've talked people into carrying on to play the game and not to quit. I have once or twice given enough advice to a person during a duel to beat me, I even ended up telling him what cards to use against me and how to win. I felt good with doing that, but I still ended up feeling like a prat after he pulled Allure of Darkness out of his pack. :p

Also I sometimes give a small show for the younger players by putting a scarf over my face then laughing maniaclly. Once again I feel like a prat, but what the hey:p give the people what they want. It did'nt help though when a person triued to twist my neck of afterwards.

I know I don't do much, but atleast people enjoy, and thats the important bit.

You know the 4 extra playmats that are given out at random at regional touraments nowadays? I've used that to sportsmanship advantage at our regional tournaments. We pick a random table in the first three rounds and watch it, if the players stand up and shake hands, they get the playmats and it's announced and given out at the beginning of the next round along with their names. If the two players didn't shake hands then just the table number is announced (so the players there know they missed their chance) and a new random table number is picked for the next round. After a while, players get in the habit and realize it's quite painless <soft chuckle>

For the people who don't help others out and don't give back to the game, I more feel sorry for them than anything else. You usually get out of something what you put into it.

[The Last Medjai]

After I beat n00bs early in tourneys, I'll take their deck and revamp it so it's competitive. If not that, I'll tell them what to take out and what to add.

[FlareWingman]

I started the rumor about UDE hiring snipers to kill off people trying to get gold series early...and we think it is true

[HeartBreakKid]

So what have you done?

I have spent hundreds of dollars and hours into this game. That should be a enough.

~ Davis

[DFLOOD]

I started the rumor about UDE hiring snipers to kill off people trying to get gold series early...and we think it is true

and then I started putting rickrolls everywhere and people started doing it to.

These two things are basically the reason why gold series discussion is banned now

[sunofhappi]

I advertise the game by telling everyone how awesome it is.

[FlareWingman]

and then I started putting rickrolls everywhere and people started doing it to.

well rick rolling is the only reason gold series disc. is banned....no one minded my sniper talk:p

[Aarikku]

I have spent hundreds of dollars and hours into this game. That should be a enough.

That, and I started a small cult of frog duellists. Very small cult. Like one other person cult. And neither he nor I think it's a cult.

Oh, and I'm one of like eight people on this site who spells things well, but that's more contributing to the survival of language.

[Qitozex]

I put hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars into it, but then dropped it.

[stringsbatman]

i give run a yugioh camp over the summer for the newbs and i run a tounament on the weekends

[FlareWingman]

i give run a yugioh camp over the summer for the newbs and i run a tounament on the weekends

is it duel academy?....lol...jk :p

[Dark World Overlord]

I help people with their decks at tournaments. I also help new duelists during tournaments.

I teach people rulings.

[baseball boy]

I proved that kids can be good at the game:D

[PS4Lthekingofsmash]

I beat a little kid who was using a duel disk during the chaos days...
He cryed, and the entire store lol'ed.
I taught the kid that created NorthEast Macro how to play. Does that count towards anything? I also developed AIDS playing Yugioh. Wait, that was going on Pojo, nm.

[Kunx990]

I try to help those that suck. Also that Tyler card is unplayable, when it gets summoned it will be BTH'd, or Monarch'd

[Rai Kerensky]

I have done this

Proved that Chaos was not God.
Trained 9 duelists.
Created a Titusville Tournament.
Raised the caliber of my area.
Proved the existence of DL3 and DL4 on Pojo.
Provided the infrastructure for a successful Team [Forgot the name...was over 2 years ago].

[TacoKing]

I made Julia LOL a couple of times...

[John Danker]

It's quite likely that those who have given the most time and put forth the most effort you'll never hear toot their own horn here, they're too modest. Simon Key would be a good example. Here's a gentleman who moderates 3 different Yugioh rules sites as well as answering questions via e-mail and serving as a sounding board on many issues from UDE as well as volunteering as a judge on a consistant basis on all levels.

Another fine example is a gentleman from the UDE Specialist Team. I've copied and pasted a post from the UDE Demo Team (General Discussion) Forum. This is also a great example of what a Yugioh "Team" could be doing. When I think of a team in Yugioh I think about what great things that team could be doing to help others....not help themselves. The following post exemplifies that thought pattern.................

(Copied from the following link...)

http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/community/forums/thread/1098811.aspx

This is something I'm super-excited about... we are scheduled for our first Children's Hospital event!

I contacted and met with the hospital's children's events coordinator. As my son is a judge and my greatest demo partner, we will be the first Specialists for this event. The coordinator requests our party be limited to five or less staff... Thus, my wife and possibly one other person from our local game shop will join us.

Now, as with any event, we may show up to a throng of eager duelists, both knowledgeable and savvy in the Yugioh world, or (more likely) have one or two kids that might like to play the game instead of watching a movie. We're not certain what we'll get until the actual event. However, the coordinator did say many of her patients know the game and have seen the (television) program.

There are a list of guidelines the hospital requested we follow. I've asked and been given enthusiastic permission to use those guidelines in something of a template or program guide for other Specialists that may want to start this program in their area. It's extremely important that we follow these guidelines and make the kids' time as enjoyable and non-threatening as possible. Ultimately, we anticipate providing a monthly event (primarily on Sunday afternoons) if the feedback is positive.

We learned a lot from the Mall Tour, and we'll use some of the great lessons learned there for the Hospital program... specifically, teaching parents and caregivers some of the points of the game that will allow them to participate as well. Bringing these people into the game will expand the circle of duelists and we may see some familiar faces in the local tournaments after the stay at the hospital is over.

We'll prepare the area with two of our full-sized banners (purchased during last year's past events... Elemental Energy and Flaming Eternity) and have provided the hospital coordinator with our flyer. Uniform will be black shoes, black pants, belt, undershirt, and UDE judge shirt. Also, well-groomed staff (especially at a hospital) provide a sanitary and professional aspect to this event. We may be invited to bed-ridden or room-bound areas, and are acutely aware of our presentation, attitude, and appearance.

Another item we learned from the Mall Tour that we'll incorporate here will be giving gifts. In that event UDE provided a generous amount of card packs, which we, as generous representatives, provided to the kids. Unfortunately, we'll not really be able to do the same here, but our local Yugioh Council raised enough money to provide our "demo decks". Additionally, donations of short books and educational (fun) games will allow us to provide gifts to the interested kids that attend.

Our Council authorized us to purchase the "demo decks". We purchased a warrior and zombie structure deck, sleeves, and matching deck boxes. Then, added some common and rare cards to help make the decks competitive (played them for about a week to round off the rough edges) and we'll take these "basic" but well-rounded decks to the event. Then, after we've played and demonstrated the decks' abilities, we'll give them to two of the most interested kids. Thus, after we depart, at least two of the kids will be able to duel, if they want.

Overall this is a great honor to be allowed to present the game we enjoy so much. This is both a volunteer and outreach program for which I expect great personal rewards. I hope to have wonderful stories to share with our community!

I'll add to this posting... and hope you will too, especially if you have additional tips or ideas.

I've protested to UDE twice about the Ban List to try and make YGO a better game.:D:D

[John Danker]

Half of my lifes money went to this game when I really should have been buying the OCG....atleast THEY know what their doing.....

That's a matter of opinion and from what perspective. The OCG has no judge certification program and no organized play program....I wouldn't call that "knowing what they're doing"

[supermega.man]

Thats what you think....on the other hand, just look at the OCG and then talk to me...

Or rather wait for you to come up with reasons to persaude us to why OCG is better. John Danker gave you his.

EDIT: One thing I've done for the game is prevent people getting ripped in trades. Not those 60/40ish trades but guys trying to rip newbs and kids off.

[Mister Dec]

I bought cards. Thats simply enough for a anyone

[TacoKing]

Simon Key is overrated...there, I said it ;)

[skey23]

Thank you John, for your kind words.

And Jason....I'll get you! *shakes fist*....lol...


But seriously, I just do what I can to help out the community, both Yugioh and WoW. I'm just glad to have the opportunities to do so.

[The_Dark_Monarch]

I don't even know who Simon Key is, but I did witness Jaelove viewing this thread with interest...
Anyways, in a way, John Danker is right about one thing, those who have contributed heaps to this game would be too humble to admit it.
The only reason I mentioned it is because people only remember those times you lose, or when you stuff up on a ruling..etc & you get a bad rep because of it.
All the best with that charity event at the kids hospital. That is a very great & noble sentiment & action.

[skey23]

I don't even know who Simon Key is...Oh...you will....Soon you ALL will!!!!

MWWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!



Um...did I type that outloud?

Oops...my bad!....;)

[The_Dark_Monarch]

heh..I noticed you posted whilst I was typing that & I quickly discovered who you were by your user name afterwards..
Dare I say, you pwnt me? lol
Anyways, now I know & I am very pleased to make your acquaintance.
I read you are doing great things for the game, so keep up the good work. :)

[Zombie_superstar]

what have I done for the game. I have, since its creation, bought god knows how many boxes and singles, given away/ sold for really really cheap, to new players, players in a bind. I have also taught many players who have gone on to win regies and do well at the sjc's, some were #1 in their state for a whille. I have created some very powerful decktypes that I have seen come in and out of popularity ( in my old stomping grounds) and I have given a team or two a place to crash at an sjc. I help where I can.

[Memo333]

When I buy blisters and got crap I give them free to random people

[W1nDr1D3R]

I give free cards to little kids who aren't as good as some other players. I teach people how to play. Encourage people to play the game.

[dagosta]

I show up to Regionals early, find kids and first timers (the TO and judges sometimes point them out) and help them get ready (answer questions, check for illegal decks).

This is something I'm super-excited about... we are scheduled for our first Children's Hospital event!

I'm also planning a regular event for the childrens hospital where I work, and planning information sessions for Parents. (John you might have seen my post on Demo Team general discussion board "Going beyond the demo")

how does a hariry, morbidly obese dude do that

[Dropkick Murphy]

oh, this is fun. =)


- I tried to introduce a new form of Exodia OTK to the game (ojama-exodia) which proved to be a little too inconsistent and completely blind to DD Crow (insert sad face). Thought the deck would help poor players get into the competetive game.

- I'm trying to revive the Traditional format... as only demand can create a price in the cards that are banned, thus helping UDE make money and generating new markets (though I wish the Traditional format would be different than JUST taking all cards banned and limitting them to one... there deserves to be a completely seperate list). This would help the poor players again, as many locals play traditional. ALSO- multiple formats helps the condition of a game (look at Magic the Gathering...). IMO- nats/worlds should have various formats within the tournament (again- look at Magic the Gathering...). sadly, again- most people just refer to the articles as meaningless and only exercises of theory... (insert a second sad face)

- My teamate and I played the anti-meta gadget deck (featuring 3 waboku, 3 roar, dimension fusion etc) at SJC indy. Though I won the feature match, I lost in the last round to Kenny So's burn deck (a rogue deck on it's first day Vs an anti-meta deck not running any m/t removal... bla...), so the decklist was never printed on metagame... which obviously means it didn't do much at all.

- I introduced the theory of inflection points to Yugioh, transitioning it from Poker theory to the other game I love. Sadly, the game has sped up to a point where decision making (other than HOW fast you can take someone's LP...) is almost non existent... thus this also helped very little.

- I introduced a mathematic formula used by professional poker players to decision making in Yugioh. It got a little hype... but again- there isn't much decision making left in the game anymore.

- I'm currently writing a book outlining everything from Yugi theory to how to make enough money trading to go to events. This isn't finished yet... I guess I don't have to input a sad face yet. =)


uh... i think that might be it... I guess i wrote an article on the importance of making reads- but most people knew that already. i've focused my last two articles on anti-DAD decks... to hopefully help topple the stupid thing by the time I get back to the States. Oh... and I want to start a petition to bring goats back to 3. (anyone wanna sign?)

I rid this world of n00bs, whiners, complainers, thieves, cheaters, and whiners by banishing them to the Shadow Realm through the means of a Shadow Game. I think that's the least anyone can do.

Was this on purpose?

[Uncle Jinzo]

I gave up whining and fighting over what deck or team was best,and focused more on playing a good game and trying to teach people how to win....or at least how to have fun.

Instead of giving you a straight answer, I'll let you decide whether if it's on purpose or not.



Your sig is awesome, by the way.

[.~ Twilight ~.]

how does a hariry, morbidly obese dude do that

Care to explain? :eek:

[Zoma the Spirit]

I gief UDE money.

[huggybear]

oh, this is fun. =)


- I tried to introduce a new form of Exodia OTK to the game (ojama-exodia) which proved to be a little too inconsistent and completely blind to DD Crow (insert sad face). Thought the deck would help poor players get into the competetive game.

- I'm trying to revive the Traditional format... as only demand can create a price in the cards that are banned, thus helping UDE make money and generating new markets (though I wish the Traditional format would be different than JUST taking all cards banned and limitting them to one... there deserves to be a completely seperate list). This would help the poor players again, as many locals play traditional. ALSO- multiple formats helps the condition of a game (look at Magic the Gathering...). IMO- nats/worlds should have various formats within the tournament (again- look at Magic the Gathering...). sadly, again- most people just refer to the articles as meaningless and only exercises of theory... (insert a second sad face)

- My teamate and I played the anti-meta gadget deck (featuring 3 waboku, 3 roar, dimension fusion etc) at SJC indy. Though I won the feature match, I lost in the last round to Kenny So's burn deck (a rogue deck on it's first day Vs an anti-meta deck not running any m/t removal... bla...), so the decklist was never printed on metagame... which obviously means it didn't do much at all.

- I introduced the theory of inflection points to Yugioh, transitioning it from Poker theory to the other game I love. Sadly, the game has sped up to a point where decision making (other than HOW fast you can take someone's LP...) is almost non existent... thus this also helped very little.

- I introduced a mathematic formula used by professional poker players to decision making in Yugioh. It got a little hype... but again- there isn't much decision making left in the game anymore.

- I'm currently writing a book outlining everything from Yugi theory to how to make enough money trading to go to events. This isn't finished yet... I guess I don't have to input a sad face yet. =)


uh... i think that might be it... I guess i wrote an article on the importance of making reads- but most people knew that already. i've focused my last two articles on anti-DAD decks... to hopefully help topple the stupid thing by the time I get back to the States. Oh... and I want to start a petition to bring goats back to 3. (anyone wanna sign?)



I WILL BUY YOUR BOOK MAN.

GOOD JOB.

If I would have been able to determine that, I wouldn't have asked. It could have been a simple accident, disregard to reread your post before and after posting, or simply a way to be comical. A variety of other reasons could also be possible.

[CronoSabre]

I buy, trade, and play. What else can you really do?

[Qitozex]

Introduce new decks, strategies, play styles, etc. ?

[CronoSabre]

Oh. I've done that then.

[peppercat]

what have i done for it?
i play the damn unbalanced thing what else do i have to do?!!!

[Animosity]

Why should I have to do anything for a game ? Its a game nothing more nothing less . Its here for entertainment purposes and hardly does that .The thread should be what has the game done for you. Well its made all the good cards so unreasonably expensive causing people to cheat and steal. Poor products released ( sorry but CCV,necro face and DAD are way to hard to get ). The prize support for High level tournaments is a joke considering the amount spent to be competitive.

Look at Magic . The most expensive standard card is 45 dollars . The high level tournament support is like 30k per grand prix and more on the pro tour.Oh yeah and the best part not as many thiefs or cheaters . People who are even suspected of cheating (multiple procedure errors) get banned for 6 months and I know of people caught cheating get banned for 5 years .

So I dont do anything for this game I buy some product now and then and play it .

[Trap Master]
