    Southern California Regionals (19-20 Jan 2013)

    We all have our individual reasons. For me, I'm tired of the game, but I want to help others enjoy the game as I once did. Don't worry... there are plenty of masters to play against. That being said, I have a very similar record at regionals to Rummage. I've gotten T4, T4, T8, T2, T2 at...

    Southern California Regionals (19-20 Jan 2013)

    I just got confirmed as a judge. If ya'll want to meet me, I'll be walking around with my judge shirt. I have long, black hair, and I'll probably be wearing a hat. Hope to see you all at regionals :)

    Philosophy Question: Universe created from what?

    This "just a theory" thing has to go. A theory is one of the highest points in science. Theories are well-confirmed explanations of natural occurances that, in general, have some form of predictive power that can be supported or falsified. Theories are based on mountains of evidence and are...

    Bad Sportsmanship / Being a 'sore loser' - How do you deal with it?

    I've had a lot of raging moments not with Pokemon but with league of legends. That game ends friendships faster than anything else. The key to preventing yourself from raging is going in with the right attitude. A lot of my rage moments in LoL were because I expected to succeed and then...

    Southern California Regionals (19-20 Jan 2013)

    I'm going to be there... hopefully judging in the senior division. I hope to see you all there. :) I may or may not be bringing a "special friend" -- a former smod :) You'll simply have to wait and see :P

    Your Thoughts on Psychic Abilities?

    RE: Psychic Ability? Hahaha that's funny. Oh... you're serious. There is no such thing as psychic powers... as far as we know. All presented claims of psychic powers can be explained naturally (usually through a combination of psychology and technology in the ear of a "psychic"). Psychic...

    Luck & Chance - Community Discussion (Week 6)

    RE: Community Discussion (Week 6) - Luck & Chance Let me answer this from a computer scientist's point of view and a casino's point of view (I worked as a dealer for a little bit). From a purely logical point of view, luck is purely superstitious. It is possible to calculate every single...

    Officious Halloween 2k12 Thread (cake walk!)

    I'll post pictures when I'm done with it. I'm going to be dressing up as V from V for Vendetta. I'll have a sign coming out of the hat saying "Don't Worry. I'm from the internet." I'm just waiting on some fabric to ship to finish.

    Has the TCG gotten more expensive lately?

    That's actually incorrect. I remember selling my Holon Transcievers for $10 a pop. Buliding some decks such as LBS would cost you upwards about $300. Also, you guys think that shiny rayquaza is a pain now? Just imagine how we all felt getting our mew*, rayquaza*, latios*, and jolteon* back...

    Keeping the Lid on a Rogue Deck

    google doesn't mind showing his decklist. His entire league knows about all of his decks and he'll share his builds with many of his friends. Most people laugh off his decks... because they usually kinda suck. Once he hits the sweet spot-deck, he's a seriously scary player. Until then, you can...

    Naming a Deck

    There is no contradiction. I think you're getting terms mixed up >.< I expect a reasonable answer in the sense that I expect you to answer the frickin question. For example A - "Tell me about yourself." B - "Bananas" This is an example of a nonspecific question and an unreasonable answer...

    Naming a Deck

    Nice cherry picking (you should be a politician). If you read the next clause, you'd find that I said that there are a wide number of reasonable answers to the question. "shrooms", for example, is not a reasonable answer, but there are a multitude of different ways to give a reasonable answer...

    Naming a Deck

    That isn't a contradiction >.< Often a proper answer to that question is what the deck is. For example, if I'm playing Truth, I would never answer the question as "Vileplume, Reuniclus, Donphan, etc". I would answer "Truth", because that's an established deck title. That would be a valid...

    Naming a Deck

    Nobody ever asks what the deck's name is. If they do, they're kinda stupid. When I ask "what deck are you playing?", I expect a reasonable answer. A silly name that begs the question won't help anyone really.

    Naming a Deck

    I can tell you for a fact that on the competitive scene, people are very straight-up with what's in their decks. Even the great rogue players will be very obvious with their deck's strategy. You kinda look like a jerk when you tell someone "I'm playing <name of deck>" without telling them...

    Ruling Sudden Death

    Please don't respond unless you're 100% sure about what you're talking about. 1 is absolutely wrong and 2 is probably wrong (if you're saying what you think). Pika, I'll help you out. I've actually played in tournaments for many years, so I'll be your credible source of information (unlike...

    Naming a Deck

    If we're having a discussion about a deck, it'd be impossible to follow the discussion if people give it 10 different names. That's fine if you want to give your individual brew a silly name, but if we're having a discussion about a popular deck, it is best for that popular deck to have a cool...

    Naming a Deck

    "Creative deck names" are actively bad for the game. It puts off newcomers when they hear about decks called "The Truth" or "Dark Blade" at a tournament. If we're talking about 5 Truth decks winning Regionals, to someone who is unfamiliar with the metagame, that means NOTHING. If we say that...

    Celebi23's 2011-2012 Season

    Venosour X, how many top cuts have you made? Unless techs are really easy to play, they really shouldn't be played at all. Stage 2 techs are typically garbage and techs that require other energies are almost always wrong (terrakion is a rare exception). The key to winning major events is...
