That sounds like he needs to remember pokemon is about having fun.:nonono:nonono:
Now adding another player to my favorite list (containing over 100 players) of "people willing to win at all costs, using whatever techniques available".
How is it ANY WHERE near the SOTG to win using a dishonest or underhanded method?
Are you a professor? Is this how you teach people to play, or only play that way in BIG tourneys?
I know I may be going soapbox here, but this is very troubling to me. I know I am not looking ot make friends here, I am looking to get a reaction, and explanation of this.
Yes, because playing the same games for an entire year is so much fun, right? :nonono: And time limits have been a problem since games took longer then 2 turns.So am I! To all the people who have those threads. GET OVER IT!!:tongue::redface: I mean, POP isn't going to ban them, so why have those threads?

Wow, you must have read my mind- I was thinking
pretty much the exact same thing.
Elm , there is NOTHING worse than slow-rolling someone for a win. Nothing.
I'm surprised you'd even post what you did. Not a win too be proud of IMHO.

Nothing except taking a cheap approach at an opponet , who did what was full within his rights to do, to win the game, right.Wow, you must have read my mind- I was thinking

Yeah, definately time to change it to something like KG/Brady, lol. Kinda funny how nomar+manny+joe torre...lol yeah. I was referring to the whole Andrew Cox game lose thing. Cheap wins, no matter what, are not cool. And slowplaying is definately a huge issue (and our champion is an expert at it).??? What's your point Brian??? BTW, might want to change your username ( unless your
also a Dodger fan
The rule book says 1st one to 6 prizes. Not do what you have to do to limit your
opponents turns due to a bad match-up, w/e. Your words, not mine elm.
Even if you play that way elm, I wouldn't
be bragging about it . But that is your choice.
I'm not bashing you, so please don't
take it that way, but ( by your own words) it was a cheap win. If your proud of cheap wins, then
more power to you.
TOOOOO many players use the clock to win games these days, that is the point
I am trying to make.
I agree I play to win, not at all costs, but yes I like winning.
It has never occurred to me that it was bad to take a lot of time on my turns.
It's not like I was stalling. I was using all my resources, and I won on time because of it.
Please do not accuse me of "winning at all costs".
When you are a competitive player, you understand that time limits can make or break a match. Thus this is part of the strategy of tournament play. I'm sorry that you are so offended by it, but I am personally insulted by your post.
No, I am not a professor. Nor would I teach someone to constantly use Poke-Powers etc. to waste time.
Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:
I don't appreciate this post either.
Never did I "slow roll" him, he will agree to this. Yes, I did use all my poke-powers and supporters EVERY turn. I did it for good reason. Yes, I won on time, but that doesn't mean I won because I was slow playing. I have EVERY RIGHT to be proud of that win.
Flygon doesn't have a good matchup against Tyranitar, and I had to play those games out strategically. Please, you were not there, and you cannot attest to what was going on in the match.
I am fairly sure that Rocketman will back me up, and agree that the match was by all means fair and well played. I don't appreciate being bashed for my success in a tournament. If I had cheated, made illegal moves, or taken excessive times on my plays THEN I would consider y'alls argument valid.
lol
I do remember that. I will admit that it's a very cheap way to win, in such a big tournament I had to do what I needed to do to win (no hard feelings, right?). During that match, I really only had a choice to keep running down the time because I knew that I had the upper hand and I didn't want to lose it by giving you extra turns. My Latios ex d and poke-power abuse was really the only thing that saved me during that matchup. Those were some good games, regardless.
GG is, hands down, much worse though. True, Flygon could take long turns with repeated Fearow d/Milotic d/whatever else abuse, BUT multiple Claydols+Gardy+Max'd Wagers+being able to use opponents wagers makes for EXTREMELY long games. AND, the bad thing is, GG can get up and running extremely fast and carry steam for AT LEAST 30 minutes, BUT if you have every played it out, the steam quickly runs out after those first few prizes and it becomes increasingly difficult to keep up the momentum. BUT, the 30 minute time limit usually saves it in competitive play.
I will say, I will most likely play the deck for the grinders because it's that broken.
Does it need to be banned? No, not by a long shot.
We need to just suck it up and deal with what we're given. We have counters, we just need to learn how to work with them.
