[@Carwinley]

I hate to "Uhm ackshually", but I find linguistics really interesting at times so I'll subject you to this anyway: "The year was X" means that at the time of Y happening, the year was X. So unless the thing is still going on (or will go on in the future somehow? That would be interesting), "the year was X" is perfectly fine to say; it doesn't matter when the tale is being told!

[@jk-2053]

That's because "was" is past tense, hence why the phrase "It was the year X when Y occurred" works any time in the past even if that includes the present year. Just because the year is 2024 now doesn't prevent it from being he year 2024 before simply due to the way we tell time (that is, we tell time in chunks we call units, like seconds, minutes, hours, etc.). Basically, it was, is, and will be 2024 when X happened, where Y is happening, and when Z will happen. From, A guy not particularly interested in linguistics.

[@pailofawesome]

This exact same kind of thing happened in Magic. Tomoharu Saito would ask to read nearly every card his opponent played in a few of his rounds that were nearing time. In Magic, asking for translations does not "eat up" the clock - A judge will award time extensions. So he could not just do that, he had to physically ask to see the card the opponent was using, would read it, then give it back. Then later in the game and opponent may play the same card and he'd do the same thing again. He was suspended from play & this suspension actually cost him his induction into the Magic: The Gathering Hall of Fame.

I asked to cut the deck and he said "No, you don't have to, I shuffled really good.", I asked 2 more times very nicely before I called a judge over to enforce the cut because at this point I think he's cheating. I explained the situation and the judge said that I do get the chance to cut the deck, which made the guy across from me huff and basically have a mini freakout. Because he refused to let me cut the deck, the guy took a game loss but then just ended up quitting and giving me the match in his fit. The judge asked the opponent to look at his deck real quick, and they said "whatever, idgaf" as they packed their other stuff, so the judge looked through it and when he got to those top cards, he laughed. The judge told me after prizing that the top 5 cards were 4 pieces of Exodia and a Sangan. Dealt with many cheaters in my life, but that was just one of the most blatant, lol.

I have a story bout a cheater too. My local is having a 1st sanction tournament. So a few of new faces are showing up at our local, and we are excited cause we got to play against new people. The 1st round to smoothly. The 2nd round I got to play against floo, he go first, he set up board, normal robina ya da ya da and end phase. My turn, play Dino, so I know I can play thru this easily. Draw phase, he said, wait, okayy wait, and he start to move weirdly, his hand with the cards go below the table. I think, okay he maybe nervous because new place and he quite young. he move his hands below the table, and then take his hand out, shifter effect. I said, "ahh shit", alright at least I can make something with ovi in hand. I normal summon Ovi and he immediately use harpie storm. And I think, wow, he got crack hand. Can't do shit with it. And we go game 2. Because I didn't need to side against floo, I just wait for him. I kid you not, the whole time he keep bring his ENTIRE DECK below the table, and I immediately know this kid most likely cheating. Suffle done, my draw phase, he activate shifter immediately. Okay this is not even funny anymore, I know the odd of opening shifter (2 in OCG) every game is pretty low. I made bagooska and pass. He start his turn, manage to clear bagooska, but can't kill me. My turn, I manage to OTK him. Game 3, before the game I make excuse to talk to judge about card translation, I whisper to the judge that I suspect him for cheating, the judge said he will monitor him quitely. Start of the game 3, he set up his board, and before my turn, the judge stop the game. Cause he make his odd move again (hands below the table etc). Judge immediately count his deck, and all the cards, and to no one surprise he only has 37 cards, 15 cards siding still there, and the judge ask him where the other 3 cards. He panicked, said some nonsense words, and go to his bag and pretend that his cards are left in the bag, and he's okay with game lost. I don't want to make a big scene because this is the 1st sanction game in our local, my friend is the owner, so out of respect I don't want everyone else feels bad. The judge sit beside him for the rest of the rounds and I kid you not, when shuffling the deck he keep bring the deck down the table everytime the judge going patrol. And he got caught another time but he said that his cards fell down the table "most likely he threw them" After the tournament, he quickly go back with his friends. I ask his other opponent, in the round 1 his opponent got shiffter'ed 3 games in a row by him. But the floo player still manage to lose. I can't believe the guts to cheat so badly, it's not the sleigh of hands, not some fancy trick, he thought we are idiots who can't tell he's blattantly cheating. The judge said he will mark him up in the judge chat group, and tell everyone else about his antic.

[@CamsAhoy]

I had something similar yeeears ago during goat format. This dude (easily 25+ years old) would shuffle his hand between turns when the pressure was on and would always drop a few cards. After picking the cards up and during his next turn he would always set at least one backrow. It was a ring of destruction - every. damn. time. Dude got caught eventually and what he did was kinda genius. His matte sleeves matched the black carpet so he would place the ring face down underneath his chair/had his foot on it so no one would notice it, wait until he could ring for game and drop his cards. Ever since that I always check under chairs/tables for cards stashed there. Under the table is because a few years after that incident someone would stick cards underneath the table with gum.

Fun story of my own to share here. Back in Zoodiac format, I was a wee college lad running on fumes for a high tier deck. Considering the format was tier 0 and was extremely special summon reliant, I decided to build up a Barrier Statue Stun deck to bring to a Regional. Regional was packed, running over 300 players. I have my goblin of a deck outfitted with a 15 card extra deck for some juicy Cherries targets to go after Zoodiac and other random rogue decks that remained semi-popular during the time. These were main-decked, which got me some pretty hefty wins against Zoodiac when their Drident was removed as a possibility to play on their turn 1 if I lost die roll. After a Mermail loss (Running 3 Water statues didn't do me any favors in that game) round 1, I managed to win my next 4 matches and went 4-1 into round 6. My opponent was on Kaiju Zoodiac, which is a dream match up.. if I went first. I unfortunately did not win the die roll, and was forced to go 2nd. Game 1 I held on for quite a while between a gross combination of Fossil Dyna + Dimension Guardian & Moon Mirror Shield, keeping my good boy alive and kicking through any form of removal and battle tricks. I unfortunately ate a Dimensional Prison and lost him on the turn I drew a Dark Bribe to keep it ticking. The game fell apart after that. Game 2 I set up with a statue and 4 backrow, including Dark Bribe, a Solemn, and Dimension Guardian. He was unable to clear my backrow and I whittled him down for game. Game 3 is where it got spicy. He ended his turn 1 with a Drident and known Whiptail in hand. 2 backrow were set as well. Drawing for turn, I had a Fossil Dyna, a Phantom Knights' Sword to keep it protected, alongside a Dark Bribe and Torrential. This seemed solid.. if I could survive the Whiptail play. I don't think he'd be able to break the board if I got set up, but I couldn't Normal the Dyna or it would just die. Instead, I set the Dyna and my full hand minus the extra statue in my hand and passed it over. He draws for turn and does another Zoodiac loop into a second Drident with Whiptail underneath it. In Battle Phase, he swings at my face-down Dyna with the Whiptail'd Drident, which would remove my Dyna if it resolves, even if he took it out with it. I respond with a Storming Mirror Force, which would bounce his full board. In response, he uses Book of Eclipse to attempt to save the monsters. I HEAVILY eye my set dark bribe, but let it go through, knowing what will happen next. He sets a spell (Later to be known as My Body as a Shield, which makes it all the funnier) and passes. During End Phase, his Book of Eclipse's secondary effect flips up my face-down fossil dyna and draws me a card. This flip triggers the Fossil Dyna to destroy his 2 face-down Dridents. FUMING, the guy calls a judge attempting to say I cheated by drawing a card during end phase without giving him a chance to respond. The judge looks over and sees the Eclipse in his GY and my face-up Fossil Dyna. He simply asks, "Is this End Phase?". I respond with a "mmhmm" and nod at the BoE in his GY. He then asks, "Were those set monsters last special summoned?", to which I also provide a yes to. In the coolest demeanor he can, the judge says, "Does turn player have a response to the Fossil Dyna's effect attempting to destroy all special summoned monsters?" to which my opponent grows red in the face for and angrily moves the face-down stacks to GY. The duel completely moves into my favor afterwards, where the now 2000 ATK Fossil Dyna from PK Sword rams into his face for 3 consecutive turns alongside a Wind barrier statue for game. At the end of the duel, my opponent doesn't even look at me. He grabs the match slip, checks off "Drop" without even signing his name, and leaves after slamming the pen back down. EASILY one of my favorite Yugioh moments.

[@galaxyboy7060]

My worst story with slow play isn't directly Yugioh-related but it was at a Magic GP against someone who played Yugioh at our local. He was up a game and were in game 2 but I had lethal on board while he only had one card in his hand. He took 5 minutes to ask me what every single card did despite the fact that he already saw my cards in a long game 1 and at one point asked me for a translation for a card I'd already used 4 times between games 1 and 2 at that point. After I asked him to hurry up because we're both going to lose out on making day 2 if we don't finish the round he tried to defend his position by saying he'd win if it went to time -- this is not true in MTG but I wasn't about to take up more time explaining everything wrong with what he just said. I called a judge over immediately after that, explaining the situation and that my opponent seemingly implied that he was intentionally stalling. The judge pulled my opponent aside to talk to him. When my opponent came back he was given a slow play warning and we were given a time extension. My opponent conceded game 2, revealing that the only card in his hand was a BASIC LAND, meaning he didn't even have any decision to make aside from just playing the land and accepting his fate. The judge was still there and watching our game at this point and, before we picked up our board to shuffle up for game 3 he paused us to look at the board state, then proceeded to give my opponent a DQ for intentional stalling since it was clear at that point that my opponent was trying to gain an advantage by running out the clock.

[@solidmoon8266]

Heres a story, up to you if you pit it in because its different from the normal ones. Back in April of this year I was bored at an event for a parents job, so i decided to load up Yugioh Duel Links on my phone to pass the time. In the game, there was an event that gave you more rewards for Rush Dueling, so I went in, not ready for what was gonna happen later. I was basically having a 50/50 win loss situation but still going at it. Then the match started against someone from Taiwan, I got to go first on the match, saldy my hand wasn't that good so i had to set 4 of my cards face down, 1 monster and the others were spell cards so that I could hopefully get something better. During my opponents turn they placed one card face down and tributed out a kimeruler the dark raider, which could attack me directly if I had no attack position monsters. So i went down to 3500 LP, turn 3 I put down a monster into attack and flipped my facedown up, and did some damage with 2 sparks spell cards and used a red medicine card. Then, put down 2 traps. Im gonna keep this short sinse not much else happens until turn 6. So its back to the opponent, and they activated their Duel skill, which can happen when certain requirements are met. They had the elegent egotist skill and maximum summoned the harpie lady sisters maximum monster. I honestly have a hard time dealing with this monster in general, so it wasn't looking good on my end. It had it's 3 effects that would stop me dead in my tracks, especially with it's 3400 ATK VS. my 3200 LP. The game went on with me struggling to do anything against their monster for over 10 whole turns of me putting monsters in defense position, and his monster using one of its 3 effects to send them all into the graveyard. Turn 21 comes around and I draw the very last cards in my deck, I honestly thought this was a bad way to lose the match, I was about to forfeit the match when I accidentally clicked on one of my facedown traps. Once I saw it I figured out a way to finish my opponent, so I passed my turn, this time without setting a monster down at all. It was now my opponents turn and they instantly went into the battle phase to knock me out, but then I activated a trap card, "The Guard". It allows me to send 3 monsters into my deck from the graveyard of my choosing. I picked my cyber tech alligator, and 2 copies of the same part for my own maximum monster. Turn 23, I was able to draw out the maximum monster part I needed to summon out my Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord. I then activated its first effect, by discarding one card in my hand, it gained ATK points equal to the difference between me and my opponent. With them at 5800 LP and me at 200 LP, it went from 3500 ATK to 9100 ATK. When doing the math, I still didn't have enough for a knockout. So I used its second effect to the graveyard from my deck to get 200 ATK points for each level of my opponents monster which all maximum monsters are level 10. My monster was now at 11,100 ATK points, so I attacked, and it was enough to win me the match. And to add more to the fire, my phone was left on 3% battery by the end of the match so I was on a legit time limit. Thank you reading if you got this far. And I hope you have a good rest of your day/evening/night.

A misplay in game one, to a legitimate game two, to a degenerate game three from his opponent. A genuine pendulum swing there.

[@makeththeman9519]

Slow playing, especially this obviously, at an event this big should be an instant DQ and a ban from future events. There is no room for cheats, and slow playing is basically cheating. This event is an esteamed amongst players and a streamed event. Your at the top level. You should know your own decks like the back of your hand at that point, as well as have a decent level of knowledge of other decks at the event. The meta is analyzed everywhere and it's all your playing against. He got to the top 8, so I dont belive hes that naive that he needed a translation or to "think" when he had no meaningful interaction. The guy had his opponent to time if he could find a way to waste it, and there is no other way of looking at this. Well done to the winner for keeping his cool against this scummer and nice job on the judge calling it all out.

im surprised he didn’t ask how much time was in the clock, thats all he was really waiting for xD

[@bass-dc9175]

Honestly: at such points a playerclock would be the solution. Both players get a certain time per duel. Want to check the GY and think if you want to respond? Okay. On YOUR time. Want to waste time with long winded explanations? Okay. Sill your time. If you run out of time: you must respond to each action within 5 seconds for the rest of the duel. Simple. If your time runs out: so too does your chance to respond / your phase. Also prevent non-plays being cycled to waste time.

[@kmdgaming6039]

I will still never forget the stupidity of the one player that thought Blue-Eyes White Dragon wasn't a Bue-Eyes monster.

[@Aldragon]

Maybe it’s just me, but I got really confused halfway in when I realized when you were saying Mike that you meant Trish, because I thought Mike was the name of the opponent the entire time, so I just imagined Trish staring into space for several minutes in a top cut of a WCS.

Only cheater I had was that one friend nobody liked trying to pull a fast one on me when he thought I was distracted looking at my hand, I stopped the one trap he had to counter me, and while i was looking at my hand I noticed him switching the position of his two face downs, the glare I gave him was the threat of a lifetime, he never pulled that s**t again.

[@1rotzy]

I feel like instead of time limits, they should have those little clocks that speed chess players use. So if your opponent wants to look at something or respond, you hit your clock, and now they are just wasting their own remaining time.

[@hakuyamata9451]

Not sure how everyone missed it but during Game 2, when all the enemies' monsters had their effects negated till end of turn, the opponent still activated their effects later during play as a counter-play effect which therefore was outright cheating. They did so not just one, not just twice, but three times, and even summoned monsters from the effects used. Amazing.

[@TheRareHunters]

With how Yugioh is now, both players should get exactly 5 minutes from the second they begin their turn. At the 5 minute mark, regardless of what you’re doing, it should become the End Phase immediately. This would put an end to infinite combos, trying to run through your entire deck, and slow players. Hate thats what we’ve come to considering in the past the game wasn’t so fast and complicated turn’s wouldn’t take that long but instead duels would run long.

[@jacobisbell9388]

That seems a bit hard to do in practice. What if you're opponent has a card that can interact how do you control the timer when they want to know what cards they should hit with veiler? On something like master duel this isn't a problem, but in person it's just ripe for abuse.

[@1stCallipostle]

It wouldn't make people not be obnoxious, they'd just figure out how to be obnoxious faster. Mimaxing how many cards they can play in 4 minutes 59 seconds. Talking fast, moving faster, memorizing as many cards as possible. I'd say that's metagaming

[@Serjohn]

[@PrinceGentleKnight]

I played a lot of rogue decks with no real love of the Meta during around 2013~ I had a Pure-Earth Rock-type deck with 3 copies of each Koaki Meiru negate rock monster and Rivalry of the Warlords and Gozen Match which hard locked so many people and they couldn’t understand why using 2 plant monsters to synchro a dragon-type monster wasn’t allowed. I was a certified judge at the time but so many people challenged me on this to the point they got the LGS’ Judge on some calls. Despite trying to say you picked the monster you want, than the materials and because you picked the end target first it locked you because you can just synchro / XYZ / Tribute into oblivion than decide a monster (Tribute Set is allowed of course). It was a fun counter-deck but could be outpaced quickly.

[@SeiPR727]

Games in tournaments are timed for practicality, not so you can play for an alternative win condition. Playing for time should be an immediate ban.

[@arcknight7474]

I have a great Yugioh story about the longest game I've ever seen go on, involving and FTK with the card Blue Blooded Oni. It was 2015, and I had somehow made it to the Oceanic World Championship Qualifier with Satellarknights in the awful Nekroz format. (I'm so glad the matt you got for that even also featured Satellarknights.). I had just finished round 1 with a Win, bullying the Nekroz player with a Thunder King 2 set Call of the Haunted, a Solemn Warning, and Vanities Emptyness. As I finish packing up and look up at the timer, I notice there is a few minutes left of the round, so I make a quick trip to the bathroom to refresh myself. Its important to note here, that this was back when you had 5 turns after time was called to finish the match, so games could sometimes take up to 15min extra to finish. So I sit down with my ds to play some good old Exploreres of Sky, and wait it out. 15min go by, and the next round hasnt gone up. I look up, and see basically everyone gathered around the last table that was still playing. At the table was Nathan, who was playing Nekroz, having played what I can only assume was his first setup turn, and another gentleman piloting the most convoluted deck I've ever witnessed. Keep in mind that this was still the first game they were plating, and they were already 15min into overtime. Using a combination of Blue Blooded Oni, Daigusto Emeral, Laval Chain, Utopic F0,m and a bunch of spell cards, I watched at this player spent another half an hour looping these XYZ cards together to draw his whole deck out, as his opponant Nathan slowly got angier and angrier as he had to sit through this insanly though out combo. It eventually culminated in this dude summoning a Tempest Magician, and discarding his whole hand to inflict over 9000 of damage, as Upstart Goblin was heavily played in this format. Nathan almost worms his way out of it with an Effect Veiler, but the gentleman also had a book of moon ready, so the match finished with a single game. 10/10 would watch it play out again.

This is gonna be a pretty interesting one. So a couple weeks ago on a Saturday afternoon, my friend Lucius and I had decided to go to the Saturday local’s at The Coffer Gaming in Downtown Sparks, Reno Nevada. I had spent the night at his house, and that day we were extremely bored and just trying to figure out something to do. I hadn’t been to a tournament in months so I was really excited to play and I was aware of the format being upsetting but I wasn’t prepared enough for the new azimina cards. I was playing traptrix which is a deck I’ve been playing for a while and had taken to the las Vegas regional in June of this year. I went 4-4 and was happy with my results so at this point I was confident in my ability to adapt. My first round I got swept by snake-eye/fire king/azimina and I wasn’t really happy, but I wasn’t upset since I knew I would most likely lose anyways. My round 2 match is where it gets interesting. I had looked at the pairings and I saw that I was paired up with a player who I’ve never really trusted. For the sake of this story we will call him Steve. Steve always reeked of tobacco and just seemed like a really sketchy person, and although it sounds like I was just assuming, I’ve played against him before and he was the type of player that would get annoyed very easily. We sat down and wished each other good luck and he went first and I saw that he was also on snake-eyes azimina so I was a little nervous about winning this one as well. He swept me game one. Game two I went first and I was able to do a little bit because he had bricked on mostly hand traps. I was attempting to play around them. I started by normal summoning traptrix myrmeleo and using its effect to search and he chained effect veiler, I then linked it off for a traptrix sera and then activated the effect of parallel exceed and he chained ash blossom, I then activated traptrip garden, I used the effect banishing my parallel exceed to special summon my myrmeleo from the grave and then attempted to activate the mandatory special summon effect to pop a spell/trap and since it was first turn of course he didn’t have one so he said “you can’t do that”. I look at him with a raised eyebrow and say “yes I can” keep in mind I know this deck like the back of my hand and I know what I’m doing. I then explained to him that since it’s mandatory it would resolve without effect and he then picked up the card and read it. He then says “you can’t activate the effect because I activated effect veiler”. At this point I’m sitting right next to my friend Lucius who is spectating the duel and I look at him lip syncing and ask “is he dumb?”although this sounds arrogant Steve had read the card multiple times and definitely isn’t new to the game. I then say that “because I’m summoning it back from the grave afterwards I can activate the effect”. He then calls the judge over, 10 minutes go by and I start to get frustrated. Lucius and I are just baffled by what’s going on because we play test with each other every single day. The judge rules in my favor and he attempts to activate infinite impermanence to negate my sera, I then explain that “she’s unaffected by trap effects.” Which frustrates him more. After this happens he looks visibly livid and angry. I was scared of conflicting with this person because I’m 17 years old and I don’t wanna argue with a grown man. I rush through my turn because at this point I didn’t even care if I won the match. I made a traptrix rafflesia and passed my turn. I wasn’t really happy with my end-board because I didn’t get to think as much I wanted to. He then goes full combo and I just scoop up my cards and just surrender the duel.

[@chaoshogyoku]

don't you draw one card at the start of the duel and end up with six cards in your hand? how do you lose when he played one card and have five in hand when he draws one card during draw phase?

[@chaoshogyoku]

which rules are they following I'm confused. they are allowed to summon higher than 4 stars instantly without tributing and don't draw during draw phase on first turn?

[@naterksmr]

Is there some particular reason they have to share a clock? Why not play like chess where each player has their own timer that goes down as long as its their turn, and if your time runs out you lose?

I roll the dice with a 6 and He rolled 2 ,I go first. I had Ponix in my hand and I normal summoned it to start my combo until i activated island He used Ash to disable its effect , I had a called by the grave as a pre-caution so I activated it. He looked at my like I was stupid and said “No you can’t” I will continue later

[@EJsGameplay]

Was at a locals once. I'm on Dinos, opp on Salamangreat. Siding in to game 3, I consider a piece I randomly tried today for just such an occasion. Game 3 begins and we don't have much time left, and I'm player one. Now, my opponent doesn't seem too assed about this and is just kind of chatting and yakking it up with a friend of his. I happen to notice about a few minutes left until time and get my opponent's attention. I was shot-gunning a Pill, asking if they had a response. No Ash, so I drop my side card on the field, Super Conductor Tyranno. I sac it to burn for 1K, set my own Ash in def, and pass. Now opponent realized what was up and started playing fast, but I knew it would take too long for him to combo. Best he'd do is a Wolf, and that wasn't getting over Ash. Sure enough he lost game 3.

Not Yu-Gi-Oh, but I had to call judges for stalling all the time when I played the original Score Dragon Ball Z card game at high end tournaments.

Honestly card negates were probably one of the worst things to be added to yugioh. Having the ability to special summon all of the cards you want in a single turn and 4 out of 5 of them (plus three magic cards you got on the field) will immediately cancel anything your opponent is doing to the point where you need hand cards to stop a wombo combo from jizzing on your face before you even get a CHANCE to play. I really love the game, but I actually cannot play it because finding a casual community is so hard and you just end up with the most bs things ever.
