Forum:These players annoy me most

What kind of people do you hate the most while playing yugioh? Share your experiences here. Also I am talking about the people you duel with, not the ones watching or those people who diss you for playing it.

The kind of people I hate the most, are the noobs that don't know the effects of anything apart from their own cards, AND constantly insist on reading your card effects the moment you play them.

I duel against this guy every week, but each and every time I play a card he's never seen before, (and I use real cards by the way...for those who don't know, I hate proxies) this guy insists on reading the text on my cards, even if I read it out first like in the anime, word for word. And he refuses to continue the duel if I don't let him, and accuses me of trying to hide something. I mean, honestly? WTF. IPlay4Fun (talk • contribs) 00:14, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

I hate players who think they're all that, and they think they know all the rules,.....but they don't. They aren't noobs, but they don't know some of the easier stuff, and they try to manipulate rules so they can try to cheat, or players who don't give enough time to respond to their stuff, so you are either forced to not activate your cards, or you have to backtrack, annoying...BassNettoHikari2...Chat Page... 00:49, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

• Or, on the opposite end, the people who you give plenty of time to respond, or ask if they have a response, who then claim you didn't give them enough time and try to use something like Bottomless Trap hole, when you go ahead and activate a monster's effect. Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 18:49, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

People that realize what deck your using after one turn and they just quit. I hate that. Adamtheamazing64 (talk • contribs) 19:28, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

• I can't blame them for not wanting to go up against an auto-pilot meta netdeck. Sucks out all the fun IMO. No One Special (talk • contribs) 20:03, November 13, 2010 (UTC)
• I've had it happen when I was running a burn deck. It isn't just against meta decks that it happens... Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 18:50, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

I really hate people who constantly ask to check your graveyard or check your lifepoints. I hate also players who claim to know the rules, but in actuality don't know them. Like this one guy who i played kept insisting that Stardust Dragon can negate Dimensional Prison...when i told him NO it can't negate Stardust, he called me a cheater and left because I "had no clue about rulings". It bugs me when people ask what deck i have, i refuse to tell & they get really offended, like i am hiding something. I just like a casual game with people, but with people who know the rules and game mechanics, so i don't have to explain every step of the way.

I hate people that play really slow, while they don't have any difficult move to be made. Like when they have 2 cards in their hand and the only thing they do is set one of them, after they have been thinking for 2 full minutes. And then when my turn comes up, after ten seconds they ask are you done? I say no. And 10 seconds later they ask, are you done now? And now? AND NOW! When I'm dueling that kind of people, sometimes I really want to quit. Bur if you do that, they act like if they have won by a lot of skill. Jens (talk • contribs) 12:04, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

I agree about the exceedingly slow players. Also, speaking of people who read cards, the people who refuse to allow anyone to touch or see their cards when asked. You know, like when someone is using a card in a certain way, and you're almost positive that the effect doesn't actually read the way they're saying... Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 17:39, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

I forgot one. The people who disagree with a move (as in, a ruling may say that a certain move can't occur), and rather than try to explain completely what seems to be wrong with the move, just keep repeating that it doesn't work that way (or something to that affect) and don't actually explain what doesn't seem ok with the move. Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 17:47, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with most of the above, players being slow when they don't need to be, players who can't read their own cards, players who use anime rules, "I can remove the wedge counter during the battle phase" >.>, and ones who don't verify their rulings, are the ones which annoy me :3-Resk (talk • contribs) 18:03, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Speaking of rulings, I dueled someone who insisted that a card like Darkness Neosphere could be discarded for its own effect, and then special summoned from the grave. By that logic, DAD could too... >.< Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 18:06, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'm guessing they thought it worked like Machina Fortress, but while he can be from H/G, neosphere is hand only,-Resk (talk • contribs) 18:12, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I guess, but it was annoying while it lasted. Ever run into the issue of someone thinking that Stardust could negate something like Horn of Heaven? Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 18:26, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it's always fun explaining negation of summon, prioty, declare target, costs etc, to someone who isn't used to it :p-Resk (talk • contribs) 18:33, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Or explaining why they can't use torrential tribute on a monster summoned by blackwing shura. Had to explain it three times before he believed me. Jens (talk • contribs) 20:43, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah... damage step is fun (Honest / Injection Fairy Lily)-Resk (talk • contribs) 20:50, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

See the breakdown of the battle phase page. I mean WTF 7 substeps of damage calculation. Jens (talk • contribs) 20:52, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

The players who play their card effects like other card effects and i'm too lazy to check as i presume he knows what the cards do. Sure go and remove three cards from the top of your deck for Bazoo... :| IonCharge (talk • contribs) 22:17, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Elitists, hands down. There's nothing that I hate most than holier-than-thou pricks who slam a certain card or deck as not being "good", because it doesn't hold up to their standards, and ridiculing people who play those cards as idiots for doing so. The last sanctioned duel my mate and I entered was full of these, up to and including the judge. Not only did they all dis his pure Gladiator Beast deck, but one of them (the son of the judge, IIRC) even insulted him by using derogatory "cutesy" nicknames to refer to some of his cards, like "pig tiger" for Laquari, or "peacock" for Gyzarus, and would not stop even when asked. It's people like those, who feel that the game should only be played by THEIR standards, and anyone or any card that doesn't conform to that is useless and needs to be ground underheel, that really piss me off.

On the flip side, though, I once went to a Sneak Preview that had a kid so ignorant of the game, that he TORE UP a Mirror Force, because he didn't think it had any value and didn't want to give it to anyone else. That, I think, is also stupid. 66.228.109.2 (talk) 22:08, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Back when the card game was new to America (yeah, I know that was a long time ago) I dueled a guy that had to have been 17 or 18 while I was 11 or 12. This guy made fun of me because I accidentally called my deck the "Library" like I would in Magic: The Gathering and he said I was cheating because I had burn cards like Ookazi in my deck.

Destroy does not equal negate. Enough said. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 20:55, December 3, 2010 (UTC)

I hate people who try to use other card rulings to bend it to their will. Such as this guy attacks me directly with a monster(any monster) I play D-prison and he's like "The atk still goes through for damage"....no it doesn't. "yeah it does, because you didn't negate my attack" Dude it's like if you ran at me with a sword and I shot you. Aznskills90214 (talk • contribs) 01:39, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

• So he runs into you, and you still fall over? Depends on how he's holding the sword =P On a topic-related note, I don't really get annoyed with a lot of people who play the game -shrug- AllanAokage (talk • contribs) 17:28, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

I hate people that just completely forget to read a card text like one guy tried to summon a skyscrouge with removinga fairy. I also have a strong dislike for player who use same deck at my locals for years. *cough the 3 guys at my locals that have used glads since they came out cough*

Anyone ever play the person who states out the effect of a card, but refuses to allow you to read the card? As in, they won't allow you to check that the effect they are saying the card has is the right one, especially if the card has a longer/more complicated effect? Or, my recent favorite, the people who, while making a series of moves in a row, have to be reminded continuously to at least attribute the effects that they are activating to their cards, rather than simply going ahead and using the effects. Its not like its that hard to state, "using {card}'s effect, I remove {card} from play to special summon {card}", etc, is it? Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 19:47, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

I hate people who have zero creativity and use cookie-cutter decks they found on the internet. I use a deck of 60 because it has all my favourites in it, and people say if you have a deck over 40 then you're doing it wrong. What they're saying makes sense, but winning the same way all the time gets boring, so I like to have things to respond to all situations. I do have a zombie deck, and yeah I do realize there are cookie-cutter zombie decks, but mine isn't up there. People who play only to win, even if they don't have fun piss me off. People who play for fun, and just want a good duel (read: Don't have 3 Sakuretsu, 3 Dimensional prison, 3 fissure, 3 widespread ruin, mirror force, dark mirror force, etc) are the best kind of people to play against.

Nerrrrr I summon blackwing armor master because he's completely fair

Summon my knuckles to your eyeball. Wightmare (talk • contribs) 19:23, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Speaking of which, I hate the people who whine about one card being unbeatable. Uh, no, it's not. And if it really bothers you that much, add in crap to deal with it. I also hate people who complain about decks. There is no "Tier 0" and there never will be. Just like cards, no deck is unbeatable. If it really gives you that much trouble, learn how to deal with it, end of story. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 21:29, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

I get annoyed at people who complain because they don't read the cards, to take an example, twice yesterday, people used Mind Control on my Scrap Chimera, then upon having the cards text pointed out to them, they complaind that the reason they lost the following turn was because of Chimeras conditions...-Resk (talk • contribs) 21:33, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

One former champion, which is also a judge, told me that Stardust Dragon and Exiled Force cannot have their text work when "Skill Drain" is face-up on the field. Other thing he said that Dark Strike Fighter can tribute oppose monsters as well, and final thing, he tried to Solemn JUDGMENT the Special Summoned "Shining Angel" that I pulled from the deck via the result of battle, by first Shining Angel that he destroyed. Man, he's dumb as rock. --FredCat ^{Ta.P. • F.P. • J.R. • W.S. • Th.P. • S.C.} 22:13, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, don't you just love when someone realizes that the move they wanted to do isn't going to happen? My opponent once tried to take away my set Morphing Jar 2 using (I think) Mind Control, and I just activated Acid Trap Hole. The expression on their face was priceless. Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 22:21, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

I hate this one guy and his troll friends (including a judge) who are arrogant as hell and think they know everything about the game (even when they know no shit about rulings). When you are playing against him or one of his friends most of the time they find a way to twist even the most basic rules of the game if you have the advantage, and if u argue with one of them, they all just come to see you play and say you are wrong, and if u insist the judge comes and tell you that you are wrong, and since he is the judge, no one can say any other thing...I remember this time when i tried to solemn warning one of this guy's perfect herald, he then chained solemn judgment and i responded with seven tools of the bandit, so he said he activated perfect herald and negate my seven tools...i was like WTF dude! but all the trolls came and i was the wrong one -_________-, they also play like in turbo mode, they give you no chance to activate you stuff and just keep on bragging about how great players they really are. I don't mean to be a racist asshole but here in Mexico where i play against this guys, most of the people don't have a clue about rulings, I might not be an expert player (im actually kind of a noob) but if i don't know something, at least i search it in the wikia and i try to understand and know rulings for many cards. I said that about here in Mexico, cause when i go to Dallas and go to play, most of the people know their way in the game, and are much better players. --Lance E. Phoenix (talk • contribs) 22:39, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

That player should learn that Herald's effect cannot negate a counter trap, due to Spell Speed. Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 23:07, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

A duelist at my school would always get the same hand every time (Machina GearFrame, Gear Town, Machina Fortress, Cyber dragon,a Gadget & draw a magical hats and set that... he would then special summon Fortress by discarding it and the gadget. (which i dont understand how that happens...you activate the effect in the hand but you can special summon it from the graveyard SUPER WTF!) normal summon gearframe and special summon another fortress. and equip it to one of them.

when it came down to my turn (I was useing my Dragon Beat down deck) I would be able to attack one of he would then use magical hats he would put 2 Geartowns face down...and because they would be destroyed by my attack or by magical hats effect...he could special summon 2 ancient gear monsters...it was always Golem & Gajilitron Dragon...

and he would do this every duel. he claims that it was luck of the draw or that its because he had 3 copies of each card... I told him he was counting cards and stacking his hand, i also told him that is how he gets banned for life from casino's.

~Sgtdonut (talk • contribs) 17:44, 12/12/2010

to donut:

• 1) Fortress+Gadget works fine.
• 2) Ancient Gear Golem cannot be special summoned under any condition, except Spell Gear & Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem
• 3) after shuffling, both players are supposed to cut the other players deck.

-Resk (talk • contribs) 22:49, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

He was definitely stacking his hand before each duel. The "having three copies" only works if its a single card that happens to show up often, not an entire hand. Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 23:03, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Also that same judge told me to leave the tournament as he accursed me for stealing his card. Though I never took his card... He lost 4 cards, only one of them he revealed was Belial - Marquis of Darkness. The true reason why he want me out is because of my handicap; I am the only duelist there being deaf. What's a way to be rude toward handicap eh? --FredCat ^{Ta.P. • F.P. • J.R. • W.S. • Th.P. • S.C.} 22:53, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Some people... Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 23:03, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

No the worst players are those who give up when they draw there opening hand. What that tells me is there stacking the deck and what fun is that.

How are they stacking if they surrender? surely they just got a terribad hand? IonCharge (talk • contribs) 16:14, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

I think what he (she?) means is the people who do stack but give up when it doesn't work cuz they don't want to have to play with a hand that isn't perfect. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 19:49, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok its not the most annoying thing, but it annoys me a lot when i duel my cousin and she always manages to draw monster cards and i know that she has to have spell and traps in her deck (she builds her deck with my spare cards from my 166 cards which is only 124 spare unuse cards). --elementalknight (talk • contribs) 20:29, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

Everyone has monsters in their decks, and usually more monsters than traps or spells... So why would it be irritating that she draws a monster? Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 02:58, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

It's not the fact that she has more monsters than spell and traps it the fact that some how she always draws exactly the monster she needs when she needs it, its like she has Yugi's ability to do that, not sure how, why or what she does, but its why I it annoys me like it did Kaiba, although (to quote Rex Goodwin) "I possess the power of both light and darkness" and to quote Ganondorf "All shall bow before me in fear!" --elementalknight (talk • contribs) 22:23, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

i hate people who never think playing YGO aren't for fun ,like in my school tournament, when i used my Miracle Fusion to call Elemental Hero Absolute Zero he used Black Horn of Heaven, i said that won't work , and his face change to angry/mad mode , and then he never talked to me almost a week .

well , i don't really get annoyed by people who cheat, justice always win in the end Nagareboshi-kun (talk • contribs) 12:29, December 14, 2010 (UTC)
