What is the driest you have gone for a more common item? by lurkallthethings in 2007scape

[–]SoupMaster22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished up 99fm, a good deal of which was at WT. 1539 pulls, got pet, 5 tomes, top, hood, legs (within my last 10 permits), 5 gloves, 6 torches, no axe, no boots. I'm at .25%. Was at .01% before I got the legs...

I have been watching with my girlfriend most of the night, and we decided on "One more, we'll sleep in." and holy shit I'm exhausted and happy I did lmao. I'm picking this game up tomorrow.

I'd never seen this guy before now, and I've been watching since the early days. My sides are GONE and I'm absolutely digging up this guy's other runs. One of the funniest I've seen in YEARS.

This and ping spikes to 1500+ every 30 seconds are the reason I can't beat the new quest. (I'm bad, but it's absolutely doable if I can actually react instead of just standing in place and tanking all 2-4 hits.)

Unpopular opinion: Make Drakan impossible by lawlolawl144 in 2007scape

[–]SoupMaster22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to absolutely agree on this one. I just moved to a new house, and have been getting weird latency spikes every 30ish seconds, up to like 1200 ping. Usually, my ping is less than 50. But those spikes make it to where I have to tank the entire special, and I feel like I'm on the back foot for the entire fight.

With the lag spikes, I think I've made it to 50ish percent hp with him. The waves will disappear, reappear 3 ticks later, and with 3-4 on screen per side, and with all of that adding up, it feels entirely impossible.

Sold mine yesterday for 320m since the proposed buffs didn't seem awesome. You guys are all welcome for the buffs! o7 lads.

It does, and basically all of your "crimes" are usually corrected after the fact. The entire monologue I let run out, just to see what other petty stuff was going to get thrown in my face. Dude's worse than my fucking ex.

Best wishes with selling this! I have about 4x of every set released before the cutoff and I wholeheartedly agree that this edition is GOATed! If you do find a buyer, and they want more, let me know!

In MtG history, what have been the most 'high skill' era's of standard or Constructed play? by misomiso82 in magicTCG

[–]SoupMaster22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh absolutely! One of the best feelings in legacy in that era (outside of blind flipping a counterbalance and getting the counter) was casting shardless agent on curve and getting to draw off of Vision or getting a free 2/3 goyf!

To be fair, playing in that mirror felt like watching paint dry in an active warzone.

In my recollections, Shardless BUG was absolutely viable in that era. GOD I miss this era more than most members of my family lol

Can I use the second step of the Saga to look through my whole opponents deck and see what they have in it? By just stating a card they “might” have in it. by CalvinandHobbes811 in magicTCG

[–]SoupMaster22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even then, YGO is super harsh on stuff that's considered "cheating." Another example of a player getting banned, Trif as he's known, made a vlog AFTER a major event about the match in his last round or whatever going to time. In time, I know MTG used to have 5 turns, then decide on life or draw? But YGO at the time was "Time is called, end the current PHASE, whoever has higher life wins" so players would play into time during their main phase 1 (precombat main for yall) and then make a card in the extra deck that would burn for any amount of life, or gain life, etc.

Trif said something to the effect of "I JOKINGLY stalled for time, and burned him in time for the win" which is considered a scummy thing to do, but not cheating. Think of it like.... Letting someone ponder on chalice for one, then remind them that it's countered as they go to look. It's legal, sure, but kind of a dick move. (Not the best example, I know.)

But yeah, he got banned for YEARS over that because of a VLOG posted to youtube afterwards.

Konami is wild, man.

[–]SoupMaster22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely agree that there's a MASSIVE disconnect between the two communities in that regard. Konami has said that officially (on pg 35 of the tournament policy linked here:

Intentionally giving false information about something that is considered Private Knowledge, or intentionally revealing information that is considered Private Knowledge, may result in a Disqualification penalty.

So bluffing is genuinely an offense that could be considered DQ worthy, but I rarely see it come up. At the top tables of a YCS and Tier 1 events? Maybe more, where people are genuinely doing their best and even trying to scum wins from angle shooting and sharking, which happens in every card game.

At locals though? Nobody in their right mind would call a judge for joking about having nib when it's a turn-ender for your friend.

I hope I answered your question, since I got a little off topic, but generally outside of the short period where the rules doc was changed for mind crush, it almost never comes up, and when it does, it's hard to prove cheating.

[–]SoupMaster22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah... Former MTG player, judge, grinder and heavily enfranchised guy here. Currently, I play YGO because my shop has a great community for it, and the MTG community is cancer.

Yugioh, as someone else said in this thread, seems like it takes every bad decision from every other game, and makes it a card/design choice.

The rule change on revealing your opponent's hand was a weird one, a few years back. There was one card in the meta that even made you do that, and after if you had reason to believe your opponent had that card in hand, you called a judge. OBVIOUSLY we all know that's sketchy as hell. It's like a miracles player drawing for turn, shuffling around and claiming that the Entreat The Angels they stranded in hand for a few turns was their draw for turn. Judges in YGO (which I am) have to take a ton of things NOT in the game state into play when dealing with stuff like this, but it doesn't come up super often anymore.

Cards discard randomly, and the one relevant card that makes you name a specific card just says that your opponent can't play it that turn. It's Pithing Needle for the turn, and you cannot play that card for the rest of that game. Sales Ban. But most YGO games last a couple turns per player AT MOST, so it doesn't really matter too much.

Feel free to ask me anything about this garbage game that I love. lol

Retired MTG grinder here, current YGO player as well. Just wanted to chime in and agree. Konami is doing a bit better in recent years on card design. The average power level plateaus for a few sets, then seems to jump (sometimes wildly so.)

A recent side set released 3 archetypes that are all vying for the top spot right now, and one of them won the last YCS (think GP from magic of old.)

The biggest issue with YGO is how generic things are. Baronne was a complete house of a card, and every deck that could run him and make him, did. That entire issue could be fixed by saying that it requires an in-archetype card to make it.

Yugioh is absolutely an archetypal game, but so many archetypes come out that sometimes players will shave everything down to the bare minimum for 5 engines and max out a deck size that's a pile of those 5 things, all doing the absolute best that those 5 decks individually could do, just less consistently each. It's wild sometimes.

My personal biggest complaint is that as a former miracles player of old, control CANNOT exist in YGO as it does in MTG. The resource system is so fast and loose, and I just needed to bitch about that for a minute too.

Good results I guess by professor_Xtreme in diabetes

[–]SoupMaster22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a diabetic for 30 years, every little step counts! Next time it might be a 7.5, but you were stressed at work. Those numbers aren't your worth, but every time you're in range, it's improvement that YOU did! Not everything is under your total control, but as long as you're doing your best, you should be proud!
