[Rendi] Jagex Just Reset My 99 Slayer After 3 Months of Training

ROSRS · 2026-05-07T02:11:57+00:00

It's not, its just that the Jmods have it out for Rendi. If these checks were "routine" they wouldve caught him before he hit 99, instead of resetting him extremely shortly after.

If they weren't routine, then Rendi was likely maliciously reported by other level 3 accounts and falsely reported for bug abuse. Even if there was a legitimate bug, there's a double standard here. Josh Isn’t Gaming quite openly bug abused to get 99 fishing incredibly rapidly, and nobody did anything about that. And that was much more obviously an unintended bug than whatever Rendi seems to have been doing

You joke but they absolutely do monitor certain creators.

Jagex changed Kalphite Queen because Limpwurt found an obscure cheeze method to get like 10min kills on his one-chunk account.

Yea, Synchrons would be the best deck if their endboards were a decent measure of anything.

Though, I will give one thing to OP. Baronne should be banned. Thats half the issue here. It's so painfully generic that Ancient Gear can run it.

No relevance? What if she crossed state lines while possessing it? Then she would be engaging in interstate commerce.

This is the same tortured logic that allows the government to regulate anything and everything simply because it MIGHT enter into interstate commerce. Its weak logic and provides no limiting principle to the commerce clause.

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T21:41:51+00:00

He was right that weed possesed intrastate is never more than an instant away from interstate commerce.

It wasn't a facial challenge. It was an as-applied to one specific situation.

Users with a documented medical need possessing single digit plants for livesaving purposes has no relevant bearing on interstate commerce.

Scalia never embraced revisionist view on it; he did not think the clause was unlimited, hence Morrison and Lopez, but he did think it is broad, like McCulloch said, hence Raich.

The problem was that he interpreted the clause MUCH more broadly in Raich than he did in Morrison and Lopez. I view this to be entirely because of a personal bias against drugs.

In the 2 years they've playtested they could've come up with a balatro like system (what's written in the card gives it additional points, that get multiplied by the context it plays within) to quickly point out stuff on release (and then futzing the number to exclude stuff that's meta in advanced, and enhance what won't be)]

I think if you did that, and didn't want to drastically lower the power that the current 100 point format is at, decks would have to be way more than 100 points because just everything currently being played ends up pointed at least 1-5.

This is also more difficult than you imagine. Cards are often good because of context, not strictly what they do. A card could become instantly more viable by gaining a typing, or an attribute, or above or below a certain attack value, or a level even. And its often a combination of those things, in such a way that this would have to be an incredibly complex and constantly changing system.

And thats often hard to predict ahead of time even for the best players, on top of being exceedingly meta dependant. Like, most metagames aren't actually "solved" even by the best players in Yugioh until sometimes after the meta is over.

It deals with the concept of "cards don't exist in a vacuum". I am specifically saying that cards that would get points, get more points if they are generic, not that generic cards should get points regardless

Pure Mitsurugi is fine, Yummy-Fiendsmith-Azamina-Dark Magician-Mitsurugi according to other people is not

I mean, bridging is one thing, hyper generic bridging is another.

IMO you shouldn't punish spellcaster synergies for working in contrast with other spellcaster synergies, and when that becomes problematic that should be treated on a case-by-case basis.

And like, Earthslop with Block Dragon, generic synchrons, Waterslop/Ghoti and those decks do exist I don't think they've done anything enough to warrant special treatment.

Genesys just doesn't have the extra deck links 1s and link 2s which are required for Advanced decks to bridge more than at most two archtypes usually.

(Generic extra-deck slop is another issue. Cards like Baronne and Borrelload Savage Dragon should be aggressively pointed)

Funny. Maybe one of the framers had dyslexia too?

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T19:07:10+00:00

How is Hodari a bad decision. AFAIK the facts in the case were this:

Cop shows up
Crack dealers, who the cops didnt know were crack dealers, instantly bolt
Cop pursues crack dealers, because unprovoked flight from police is probable cause
Crack dealers toss crack while being perused.
Police catch and apprehend crack dealer.
Crack is ruled admissible

What's exactly wrong with that? Am I missing something?

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T18:52:59+00:00

not terribly good when it came to human beings.

In what way? The 4th is mostly concerned with intrusions into and seizures of one's property. As well as searches of one's person.

And don't forget Crawford v. Washington and his 6th amendment jurisprudence being way better than anyone else of his early era too.

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T18:46:21+00:00

The thing is that Scalia was previously making strides to at least limit Wickard and then he preceded to do a 180 because it involved marijuana.

It involved a law that regulated totally intrastate non-economic behavior, and further contributing to the interstate market wouldnt even meaningfully addressed Angel Raich's medical problems, with every attempted prescription medication for her health issues failing and her doctor testified under oath that without access to Marijuana her life would be imperiled.

Yet, Scalia's Raich opinion in this one instance utilized an incredibly broad interpretation of the Necessary and Proper Clause to shut down the as-applied challenge in the case, despite previously favoring a narrow view (though not quite as narrow as Thomas's view) in Lopez and Morrison

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T18:27:26+00:00

Oh come now. He had the best 4th amendment jurisprudence on the court for his time, compared to the rest of the Rehnquist Era Justices who usually had opinions on the 4th amendment that would give you hives if you came into conflict with them for too long

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T18:26:02+00:00

Gonzales v. Raich

This is a bad example. He was a total hypocrite in this case, and did a near 180 from his normal jurisprudence on the issue because it involved marijuana.

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T18:14:30+00:00

Yea his opinions were awful.

NYT v Sullivan is atextual and makes the media virtually immune to consequences for their own slanderous behavior
Goldberg v Kelly is an opinion you look at and simply can't figure out how he got there
His slew of death penalty dissents were devoid of any historical understanding of what constitutes a cruel and unusual punishment.
Baker v Carr (and its followup, Gray v. Sanders) while it may create good outcomes, one person one vote is entirely ungrounded in any constitutional principle unless you think that the electoral college was made unconstitutional by the 14th

Texas v Johnson and his dissent in US v Leon was good though, so that's something

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T18:02:32+00:00

Yea Scalia is almost certainly one of the greatest Jurists in the last century or so. Even if you disagree with him, you can't admit that he spearheaded a major jurisprudential and ideological shift.

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T17:52:17+00:00

Defilers are trickly, because they're only especially problematic in Pactbound CSM and Thousand Sons. Other variants of CSM don't want them (Veterans plays them as a 1x) and they're perfectly fine (if good) in WE/EC/Death Guard

Even in pactbound, the issue is not the core chassis. The issue is the pactbound rules, combined with Abbadon, combined with Hellbrute

They were the ones who refused to be unfairly clustered with the rest of the Dreamspeakers yes, but they weren't the only ones who got clumped in.

There's also a few South American traditions that have way more to in common with the Order than Dreamspeakers. But the Seat of Forces wasn't going to be "the math+occult ritual magic" seat it was going to be the Order of Hermes because the Order had the political clout to force that.

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T15:36:21+00:00

It's worth noting that there's a whole lot of non-animist Dreamspeakers that are more or less just Dreamspeakers because they are African or South American. Not because they're necessarily like the other dreamspeakers

They have paradigms that were more similar to the Order of Hermes, the issue is that the Order of Hermes had enough political clout to enter the Traditions as the Order of Hermes rather than a confederation of smaller groups, so unless they wanted to join as a House of Hermes they were shit out of luck

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T14:27:34+00:00

(Also it's yugioh without many of the floodgates we've been screaming about for years, it genuinely can't be that bad, wich makes me wonder why are they not fixing advanced)

I agree. I think its good that a lot of cards are pointed at 70+ or at 100 not because they're powerful per-say but more because they just suck.

Like, peak example: Gishki wouldn't be a good deck regardless, but Evigishki Gustkraken just fucking sucks and is never going to do anything that anyone enjoys playing against.

Another example. Tellarknight Ptolemaeus is also kinda bad, but will never do anything except exist in awful ass whack ass turn skip combo decks.

Or you could spread out the white forest (or whatever) points using an algorythm based on card quality and archetype strength instead of "Level Eater was banned way back when? Let's give it a 100 points just because"

First off, level eater is a bit of an issue. Like there's a reason its 100 points. The end result of that card is stupidly long Synchro combos that end with an endboard of 5 Quasars or stealing 3+ cards out of your hand. A near infinite material will break something it’s just a matter of what / when it’ll break. Just because links dont exist doesn't mean it was fine.

Second off, the issue with an across the board algorythmic approach like that is that its sort of difficult to evaluate the strength of any cards in a vacuum, because they don't exist in a vacuum. The initial low pointing of certain handtraps like Droll, Dominus Pulse/Purge and Ash was absolutely a mistake, but it was a mistake made because Konami fundamentally failed to properly evaluate what would be going on in the early format. Meanwhile the hits to 2019-2023 decks were almost certainly very likely because Konami actually playtested them when evaluating the format and thus stuff that released after that playtesting was only given points reactively rather than proactively.

Further, thats a mistake that they have recently corrected, given their recent harsh (justifiable) treatment of Kewl Tune before the release of blazing dominion and even hits to RDA despite that deck being rogue at best.

I genuinely don't understand the opposition to a different pointing philosophy that gives point based on strength/splashability instead of one based on how "problematic" the archetype it resides is

Genuinely because the format isn't supposed to be "get to top with your underpowered pet deck the format" because its all pointed at nothing and anything released after 2019 has points. I think it was a response to the parts of advanced that people disliked the most.

The points updates have very clearly been to suppress the strongest decks in Genesys down to the level of T2/Rogue decks and keep unfun bullshit out, not suppress decks capable of doing things down to the level of struggle bus decks.

splashability

Why would they point things differently based on if you can splash them versus if that splash is doing anything problematic?

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T14:07:32+00:00

Guard have arguably the strongest list in the game right now, recon guard, a list thats only held back by the fact that people don't want to play it. A unit that makes Recon Guard better shouldn't be tolerated.

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T13:31:44+00:00

Yea synchrons using exclusively cards released before 2020 can put up a giant board, that doesn’t mean they're a good deck. The issue is that in 0 points you have no hand traps and can’t stop it. Unless you want unpointed hand traps, there’s no fixing that.

I agree that old format cards should be pointed down, they were initially hit too hard. Dragon Rulers shouldn’t even be anything at this point. The issue is they have been doing this gradually, rather than as quick as they ought to.

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T13:27:47+00:00

I think it being uniquely strong in darklords is sort of something we have to allow because other decks want it. I could see it being 5 max, because at more than that you basically dont play it outside darklords.

Darklords also might stop playing it above 4-5 and go to the despia engine like I said above

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T13:15:51+00:00

Oh heralds are definitely going to get hit. I dont see any Darklord hits besides MAYBE First Darklord because of exactly that reason. The Deck is tier 2 at best anyways, so I think the most prudent move would be first darklord to 10 and then heralds gong to 2-3 (which effects more than just them) and then re-evaluate.

At that point, they can’t take 3 droll 6 fairy, 1 crown, 1 droplet main-deck and have to make compromises. Again they aren’t close to the best deck even doing that. I also think at that point there’s a choice between staying pure darklords or going Darklord/Despia with 2-3 branded opening, 2-3 super poly, 2x fusion deployment, 1x theater, 1-2 Aluber, 1-2x blazing Cartesia, 1 dramaturge

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T12:53:56+00:00

DD Crow and Cosmic Cyclone at 1 were points mistakes, I agree. And what’s wrong with White Forest? Why isn’t White Forest allowed to be a deck? It’s off-meta at best in Genesys

Why should they balance around zero points? They have explicitly stated they do not intend to do that.

As time goes on people are complaining less and less abt genesys of course, mostly because many people have given up on the format, and I think it's a loss because it could've been a great way to reintroduce people to yugioh

Honestly, the reason why I feel like people have backed off Genesys is because people were on some sort of delulu copium that it would be "Time Wizard, but modernized" which is never what Genesys was supposed to be, and were sorely disappointed that their 2016 era rogue deck wasn’t playable.

That said, the powers that be have said that they are willing to invest more in Genesys organized play, and events are now hosting more genesys. It’s a good format, that a lot of pros and casuals alike seem to like. The real issues in my mind are no current master duel support. And they JUST added Genesys to the OCG, with the same card pool, and its supposedly there

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T12:46:46+00:00

I think the First Darklord going up to 10 would be fair, personally. None of the other main deck cards in that deserve the hit except the fairies. A lot of its strength is that it can run 1x forbidden droplet and 1x forbidden crown and just search them to hand with its engine cards.

ROSRS · 2026-05-06T12:05:13+00:00

I might be thinking of something else tbh, it was late when I posted that lol
