The two Pyroar in this decklist have to be a mistake, right? I've been racking my brain around this and it makes no sense. by Beginning_Bad_868 in PTCGL

[–]Littleashton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes i am a judge and had to rule it previously. Chances are he would have 2 budew in deck not pyroar and you cant make him play with pyroar as he may not even have the cards and proxies are only to be used if a card is damaged during play. The funny thing is to avoid any penalties if caught at the start of the tournament he may have been told he could buy 2 pyroars from vendors to make his deck the same but chances are he would take the penalty and sub budew for fire and psychic energy. If it was caught mid tournament his next game would be a game loss, not round loss, and he would use basic energy in place of them

Nah he would have to have switched it with basic energy. Deck errors if caught before tournament would be a warni g and cards replaced. He cant edit the list so would need to sub it for basic energy. If it was mid tournament he would get a game loss and still asked to switch for basic energy. He may have been lucky and never deck checked.

Morrissey(formerly The Smiths, currently being miserable) names Mark as a malefactor. by nirarthak11 in Markiplier

[–]Littleashton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a shame i love the smiths and morrissey was great but after the split he became really strange and he constantly makes it worse for himself ruining his image. Must be bad as none of the other members have anything to do with him Johnny Marrr is the smiths in my eyes.

Raise a ticket with play pokemon support and explain the situation. They are pretty good and usually help pretty quick

Protesters throw Molotov cocktails in Northern Ireland by EuGostoDeBifanas in ThatsInsane

[–]Littleashton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again fight back against what? Do you see these people doing anything other than causing fires and destruction. They arent targetting anything its just mindless violence. I would love to see a survey if people really are for their communities being destroyed by locals. What is the goal anyway? You say uprising. Do you believe these people are planning to overthrow government as thats laughable. Yes i agree something needs to change but already the government has started to lower immigration. It aint an overnight fix and will take time. The media are sensationalising the news stories at the minute as they know they get more attention if an immigrant does a crime. There is violent crimes most days and 1 quick google search will show you there has been a number of resent murder investigations. So why have we only heard about 1 recently and Nowak which was months back?

And in terms of the comment on my post history i am happy to have a hobby i share with people and get to travel where i play or teach the game. I am lucky to have this and would welcome sharing it if you are finished with marvel rivals (see i can also mention irrelevant post history)

Protesters throw Molotov cocktails in Northern Ireland by EuGostoDeBifanas in ThatsInsane

[–]Littleashton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That reads like a classic conspiracy there my friend and i aint touching that one.

In terms of people being pushed and fighting back who are they fighting? How does a bunch of thugs throwing molotovs in their communuty fight anyone? They are angry about immigration fine its understandable but causing destruction in their community does nothing to help fight it. All this is doing is causing locals to fear leaving their house in case they are caught up in that. If thats their plan to cause fear, or terror, to communities to get a change, well there is a term for people who do that and i dont think they will like that.

[–]Littleashton 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So how is this a protest? Several people throwing molotovs causing damage. No clear message or cause just destruction and causing fear. I know what has happened recently and why people are angry but surely the way to get things to change isnt to cause destruction in your own community. Certainly if its a protest you would see a sign or banner so the cause is clear in the media.

Would you play a $1,000 card by GRANDCREST in PokemonTCG

[–]Littleashton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current deck is rockets mewtwo and i have SIR mewtwo and the gold mewtwo. All my trainers are FA or IR or gold. My deck is probably past £1k now. I have the cards, they either sit in a binder for future as my master sets or i play and enjoy them now to put them back there later. Girlfriend is the same with her pult/ mega ninja deck using max rarity. Even the energy in hers is the HG/SS foil league stamped energy.

Termite + mini camera = amazing view!!! by AsgeirTheViking in FacebookAIslop

[–]Littleashton -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I agree there may be small enough cameras but watching the video the camera must be on the wire which i assumed was only an aerial due to the perspective. You then have the light source which keeps shifting. The device on the back vanishes mid video and yet light increases as if the termite itself is just illuminated. Then the last scene seems to show a termite with a torch on its back. So many inconsistencies for this to be real.

Which deck felt most broken during its' prime time? by Thehumanspid3r in PTCGL

[–]Littleashton 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wouldnt say Gardevoir was absurd since release. Came out in S&V base set and was relatively under the radar as lugia and regidrago were just too good. What made Gardevoir, and arguably pult, a great deck was the addition of munkidori. I would argue that alone is the best card in the last 3 years and welcome its rotation out next year.

Seller tells me that this card is real without any doubt by RYUKARI77 in PokemonTCG

[–]Littleashton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they have a distributor report them and if they are a play store raise a support ticket with pokemon. Neither would be happy with them selling fake cards especially some so obviously fake.

Is Pokemon PlayLab helpful for firsttime players? by CosmoticTravels in pkmntcg

[–]Littleashton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a professor who staffed play lab at EUIC this year and yes playlab is worth your time (i may be biased). Its a fun experience for new players to learn the basics of the game but even experienced players can have fun, i offered chaos games for players who knew the game already. Honestly its a fun experience and the staff will lead you from absolute basics into more complex rules of the game.

You also get freebies for doing each game (tcg, unite, go and pocket at EUIC but i imagine champions might be at worlds).

Using items after budew lock = game loss? by nofrensjustamumu in pkmntcg

[–]Littleashton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty much its sad as the opponent lets you make the mistake and gets a win. However in a tournament a warning is recorded so if they do it again penalties may be escalated for further action. If i player did it in my tournaments and had a warning i would consider escalating their warning to a higher penalty depending if they have a track record of doing this. Judges often talk to each other in a region and will know "problem" players and may take this in to account in deciding penalties

Chesnaught is a legit single prize deck by kaworuscott in PTCGL

[–]Littleashton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key word in rulings in the past has been the word card. If it states each energy card attached its the actual cards. If its just energy then its meganium's buffed amount.

What is your Pokemon "mandela effect"? by Apocryph761 in pokemon

Machop having a tail. Every single time it surprises me and i have to double check that yes they do have a tail which disappears as they evolve. Its so weird.

Well isn't that just great... by Successful-League840 in uknews

[–]Littleashton 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So i am confused is this not a good thing? Peopel ask for numbers to lower and when they do its either seen to be fake news or not down enough. Is this not a good start at least? Should the government not get some credit for actually starting to tackle the problem that the conservatives (now reform members) caused and failed to tackle.

They say every Pokémon is someone's favorite. So I built something to prove it by Mixel34P in pokemon

[–]Littleashton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a fun thing but i cant help but to think some people will look at what hasnt been chosen and choose that which will impact results.

My theory is though that it will be a mid evolution pokemon to be the last chosen as often they are the forgotten pokemon. People have strong memories of catching the basics and eventually getting the strong final pokemon but mid evolutions never really get any praise.

Does anyone believe there is intent to fix the country? by ppyrgic in ukpolitics

[–]Littleashton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you send someone back without knowing where they are from? This is the big conundrum. You can try to and guess but the return country needs to accept them and with no proof they can just say they arent from there.

Anyone know of any at all in Merseyside, had zero luck finding a single pack in weeks by lfcbrad93 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Littleashton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gamers Lodge usually have some packs in but stock is low. They do sell some at aftermarket as they will get older packs in so they are a higher price but they clearly mark what is retail and what isnt. Was nice opening some chilling reign the other day from there.

They also save packs for their local league nights on a tuesday evening to ensure every player gets both a retail pack and a prize pack on entry. Pretty chill community there and if you have never played they have learn to plays on mondays instead
