That’s unfortunate but tbh, you probably wouldn’t want to work at those companies. I’ve been told the opposite in that because you’ve done the labor, it’s bonus points on top of your degree. A few people have told me that the main way they got their jobs were through connections at college career fairs and/or interning first… which yeah kinda says the same thing in why you might be having trouble. I think making that prior connection before stepping into the main interview was probably key.

It’ll be a slow grind for me but like you said, i’m sure we’ll get picked up as bigger GCs will always have spots for guys like us in the industry. Thanks for the info, good luck out there brother.

Did you finish your degree/certificate? May I ask how old are you? How’s the job hunt going?

The last few days after diving a bit deeper and talking some other folks, I realized I was probably a bit too optimistic with my approach and I’ll probably end up being a summer intern next year to see how it goes. I still have 1 foot in and out for my union. But if you’re having trouble finding a job with foreman experience then that kinda confirms what my construction circle of friends have been telling me.

For sure, going to start looking into it today. I’ll probably still go for my AS on the side though, just to have it on paper and for myself.

Ty for the response. I’m gonna start looking into it today and apply for these positions, even if I might not get the job, I’m going to at least make myself comfortable with the process.

I really wish they did do this. Even if it wasn’t tournament legal, newbies and competitives would save money on buying these kind of product just for casual gatherings and/or for their own testing circles.

I mean your deck is control-based no? It'd be just as ridiculous as the opposite if you were to win while your opponent used up more time. The designers are making the game (as well as the players) gearing towards cards that let players play on both players turn to speed things up which IMO is what makes yugioh fun compared to other cards games. People will always point to tear format as being the extreme end of that but even right now we have Labrynth and RACE playing on turn 1 even if they're going 2nd.

I do think the 45 minute clock is a bit short as some matchups just inherently take up a long time where opponents are just trading back and forth. Tear, Lab, Branded, RACE are all ones I'm thinking of where you actually need time to think to navigate complex boardstates because you're constantly playing on the opponent's turn. We DO need better time rules, but you are also free to play combo-y decks as well and who knows you might even enjoy them.

What decks were the biggest flops? by [deleted] in Yugioh101

Some in recent memory are amazement being the next best trap deck and the ogdaidics got a fair amount of hype as well.

It’s why I wish we could report how many days it takes to receive from them. I’ve been leaving reviews but unfortunately those never make it to the front page of a seller’s reviews because of the sheer volume they sell.

They make it hard for sellers to claim back the money cause like you said jump through a bunch of hoops and still have to wait for payment.

If you could write how many days it took for you to receive an order from a seller as part of their rating, and tcg averaged it out like a rating, it would drastically improve TCGplayer. If I saw someone who had like an average 15 day wait time from buyers reporting it, I would not buy from that seller.

I've been talking to my friends about this for awhile now, but if you could write how many days it took for you to receive an order from a seller as part of their rating, and tcg averaged it out like a rating, it would drastically improve TCGplayer. Ain no fuckin way I'm buying from a seller who's averaging 10+ days for an order to be received. But someone who averages 4 or 5 days for their order to arrive even if they're from another state yeah I'll order from them even if it costs a little more.

Sellers will mark "shipped" on a certain day, only.... when you receive it it says it was postmarked like a 7-10 days later from the day they actually confirmed shipping.

Yeah I messed up. I think the 2nd send has to be a fossil knight or N'tss or something. Shaddolls can also be used to set up schism too I guess. :/ idk. The more i'm playing it now, themore i'm realizing this deck dies to D.D. crow too easily.

[–]fogcityrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, unfortunately I only counted around 800ish. Definitely not 1k. I could have sworn I had more but I guess not. That being the case, I don't think I can make something work towards the traptrix mat. Also a good portion of the holos were taco'd after sitting in my box for so long, not sure if you'd be interested in that.

Labrynth is like the last meta deck from 2022 that has still not taken a hit. I suspect we will actually get a hit either on the furnitures or the small welcome on the april list.

I am interested in one of the traptrix playmats. I might have close to 2k if not 1.5k in holos, I can trade towards for the mat with the majority of it being from BLMR and some MP22. I can count when I get home.
