(inb4 lol double post)

What's with all the "fail decks"? People trying to create a deck that's purposely bad, just for the sake of lulz or whatever. They're never funny, never smart or poignant or anything. Anyway can you make a rule against that? It's kind of just pointless spam.

don't you some of these rules a little to strict people will think that the mods are a bunch of tyrants. i am not saying you are but is it really nesessary to have strict rules that if your deck post is incorrect to you it's okay to lock it. my deck post got locked for no apparent reason and i think that's pretty cheap to lock a thread without telling people first. we have the right to know why their locked and the right to defend our case.

Nothing is strictly necessary. The existence of rules is not necessary. The existence of this forum is not necessary. The existence of this card game is not necessary.

However, given that the card game exists and that the forum exists, it's helpful to have rules.

I don't understand what you mean by "to you". A deck that violates the listed rules is posted incorrectly from an objective standpoint, not just "to me". The rules are perfectly clear, written in simple English, and numbered for your convenience. Not a single rule is difficult to follow.

(08-12-2008 09:52 PM)admiraldeweynaruto Wrote: it's okay to lock it.

Usually, if a rule is being violated, you will be told what the problem is and instructed to fix it. Only if you decline to fix it will the topic be locked. Cooperation is expected.

The only exception would be something like Rule 10. But Rule 10 says quite clearly that your topic will be locked without warning if you violate it, and is easy to follow.

The internet, despite Wilford Brimley's views, is not American. You don't have a "right" to know why your topic was locked; you don't have a "right" to defend your case. Fortunately, I'm nice, so if you'll link me to your topic, I will grant you both. However, these are not inalienable rights. And if we do turn out to be tyrants, you aren't going to be able to overthrow us with a tea party.

In fact, when you joined this forum, you agreed to the Terms of Use, which require you to follow all rules set out by the site staff. Thus, the obligation here is not on us to give you what you want; it is on you to follow our rules.

Psycho Shocker Android · 08-21-2008, 10:32 PM

Regarding the xander clause, if we make a deck for a video game (like tag force) and we use ocg cards do we need to specify the effect of these cards?

**Crab Helmet** · 08-21-2008, 11:36 PM

The Xander Clause was added for the benefit of the others on this forum viewing your deck, so yes, state the effects anyhow.

Max C. · 08-21-2008, 11:40 PM

Crab.. *repeating my last question* is it illegal to post a deck with 57 cards, even though im asking what 7 or so cards to remove?

**Crab Helmet** · 08-21-2008, 11:46 PM

I didn't make the 50-card rule, but my interpretation is that such a post would not be permissible; since ideally you should be asking which 17 cards to remove, and you should at least be able to thin it down to 50.

slayer_supreme · 08-29-2008, 01:07 AM

I think the text should be edited to say "The most recent banlist" or something like that >>

Also, can we post anime-only cards, for the purposes of DMU and the like?

I'm sorry, are you unfamiliar with the concept of providing a link? It means you post the URL of the topic in question, not just the title. I'm not going to waste my time digging through these boards for some whiny kid who only comes on here once every two weeks anyhow.

Static · 08-30-2008, 01:38 PM

Honest question.

The rule still says "March 2008" format.

Aren't we on Sept Format by now? I don't want my deck locked because it has breaker in it :/

slayer_supreme · 08-30-2008, 05:39 PM

And my question still requires an answer, too @.@

Though the above question puts to rest my suggestion.

**Crab Helmet** · 08-30-2008, 05:52 PM

It means whatever the current banlist is (or either of the banlists during the couple of weeks preceding a banlist change after the new list has been announced). I'll be merging the two rules topics soon, and I'll fix things like that at that point.

no the ultimate deck not the one you put up. and by the way my computer screwed up on the process and ended up the way i do not want to have.

The Dark One · 09-03-2008, 06:45 PM

Sheesh, stop complaining. If your deck was locked for rule violations, for whatever reason. You are perfectly able to fix up the list in whatever way it needed fixing up and then repost it. Don't whine about how your computer messed up the formatting, because that's at your end, and it's your job to fix it.

jawsisra · 09-10-2008, 04:42 AM

I belive the 50 card rule needs to be changes

As of now 60 is the max number for yugioh I know it not a good idea to run a 60 card deck but if some one wants to do it it should be their right the mod should not be allowed to tell members they have to run 50 or under and that is what this rule is doing last i looked it the person deck not the mods All other sites I go to has add to their rules decks with more then 60 cards are illegal decks and will be locked but it if it is 60 or lower it is class as a legal deck so I do not see the reason to have a rule that tell people they can only post 50 or under

That just my thoughts

There's no rule that's stopping you from making a sixty card Toon deck. The rule merely prevents you from wasting our time with it. If a deck contains more than 50 cards, other users cannot be expected to fix it, thus robbing the topic of its purpose. Pointless topics deserve to be locked.

Judgment Dragon · 09-13-2008, 10:45 PM

I have a suggestion to a rule that should be added. You know how you get these n00bs that post those random fail decks and claim that they win all the time, could you like make that against the rules or make a rule stating they must state the type of decks they beat. I think its really annoying when they do that.

They could truthfully claim to consistently beat Synchro-DAD decks with it, without mentioning that the opponents were comatose.

There's no real way to handle something like this, outside of Jack Witt Clause.
