So, I noticed that everybody has a story that starts with, "One time I played this person who...". So, I decided to make a thread where everybody can share their exeriences! We're looking for the weirdest, wildest, wackiest, and sometimes even the rudest players you've played, so let us hear your tale!
Here are a couple of mine:
1.) *At the HS: Triumphant Pre Release*
I'm sitting at an empty table, playing a fun game with my friend Jon. For a moment I stop to listen to my league leader's competitive match behind me, and I hear his opponent. When she breaks a rule, he tries to help her and subtly corrects her. When asked to shuffle her deck (which she refused to do) her response was, "My mommy says I can do whatever I want!". When the judge told her she had to play by the rules, she says, "My mommy's gonna kick your ***!" I am utterly astounded by the rudeness, when all other players are just having fun. Whenever my league leader retreated a Pokemon, she would start saying, "Yeah, run you coward! Run away from the power of Nidoqueen!" She's from a town over 3 hours from this location, but she came all the way up here because she has been banned from going to any in the Southern half of our state.
2.) *At Illinois States 2010*
We park our stuff and start talking to nearby players. One guy is talking in a helium-like voice, has a red tail and a blue tail hanging from his pants, which are furry, and is talking nonsense. We had some laughs, but began to become concerned. After a friend of mine played him, we figured out that his whole strategy was to distract his opponent into a loss. Needless to say, he made Top Cut.
3.) *At Indiana Regionals, 2007*
In Top Cut, I face a guy playing Empoleon. For some reason, he continually tries to predict my moves by telling me what I should do. "So, you uh, shuffle your deck." "So, uh, you're gonna, uh, uh, use that one attack? That one, uh, Endless Darkness? No, you're gonna retreat? You're gonna knock me out?" this went on for the ENTIRE ROUND. We played 3 matches. The judge had to sit there and give him warnings and at one point a penalty. As I later found out, I played the girl from Story 1 at that VERY SAME TOURNAMENT!!! She ran Pachirisu and thought everything she did meant, "Shuffle hand into deck and draw 7 cards."
So, who else has a story for me?
