^ Exactly my point. It isn't. Nobody caught him in the process of doing it. The guy in question caused other problems but noone could do anything about him, so the store just cut off FNM as a whole.
time to LOCK THIS .. thanks :)

WOAH, WOAH, WOAH...
An on-sight officer, armed with a GUN!?
That's ludicrous. Even if they sell more Yu-Gi-Oh! packs, that's one of the situations where you determine that your Yu-Gi-Oh! Meta is not a safe bunch and the store should simply use common sense: stop doing the prer-eleases. Granted, they won't make as much money, but they won't lose as much stock/have as many people complain...
Jesus...

Naki Feralkin: there needed to be a Sanctioned DCI judge at your Store lol.I know a lot of the MTG players are not judges, nor wish to be judges.
Another thing that I find odd in pokemon everyone wants to judge/professor and in mtg no one wants to do it.
once your a judge in magic they over use you for every event and barely get to play it is really sad. it happens in pokemon too I guess.
Judge support in MTG isn't that bad either- haven't quite figured it out actually.
lol I won't ever be a MTG DCI judge it too hard and stuff xD~ and there's WAYY Too much to do ;o;

The good thing is he never had to draw his weapon, lol. I feel the store owner cold have hired an unarmed officer and sent the same message to the players.
This is not my league store but I can tell you that the store league has LOST quite a few players since then. Parents don't forget things like this, and I don't blame them. It's too bad because the owner has a good store, great location and plenty of room.
I don't want to sit here and bash YGO players but when you have 140 players lined up outside, all dressed in black, baggy pants with chains, bandanas on their head, an armed officer at the door, AND 50 feet from the street for all the traffic to see you, what kinda message is that going to send to parents with kids that want to go to that gaming store? Honestly, most parents going to said store for a Pokemon event for the first time and sees this will keep driving and never stop.

Pokemon has a much more child freindly environment than magic and yugioh. It is by far the cheapest to play, has age divisions, and is generally child orientated.(hey, this is pokemon lol, accept the fact that it is adnw as orignally a kids game)
Magic requires the most skill, and a little more money than pokemon. It has what I would say to be the second most child orientated game of the three. There is no comparison to the amount of skill in magic than to any other card game. And I think the OP exadurated the amount of time it takes to master the concepts. Sure, if you are a child, or can't comprehend the concepts, it is difficult, but for any normal person that is not a child, magic is the simplest game to play at the basics, but its complexity can vary greatly. A simple aggro(play lotsa creatures and attack) deck can win worlds, and then the next year some complicated deck with 10 minute turns and answers for everything can win. The players, at least from what I have seen at premeir and locals in NV and premeir in CA are pretty nice, but with a more focsed on winning attitude than pokemon players. Does that make them mean? NO. It mesans they want to win. In pokemon, I have seen people let their opponents take back misplays in big tournaments, which is VERY nice. Would you see that happen in magic? no. Does that make the oponent mean? no, its the misplayer's fault in the first place. But just because magic has a more competative player base doesn't mean it has a mean player base. I almost never hear complaints of theivery or cheating in magic, and I have only met a few people that I didn't like while playing it.
Yugioh is bad. I could end this paragraph there, but then I would be overlooked, and I understand why a yugioh player would do so. Yugioh players are the meanest player base I have ever seen. I hear more about cheating and stealing in yugioh in one week at my local than I think I have ever heard in pokemon and magic combined. The players care only about themselves and winning. Cheating is a must for winning, as is having decks that cost more money than my car. I have only met one nice yugioh player in my life, and yugioh isn't the only game he plays. I have a feeling that if I dont stop ranting on yugioh player i will get banned from pokegym yet again, so ill shut up now, but you get my point. yugioh is epic fail.

I play yugioh every once in a while and I do see some bad stuff from time to time. It is just a shame that they have created a game where the cards are so expensive that people would rather steal them. That's why I hope there are more players like me who want to change that. Yugioh is a good game, I have friends who play the game as well. I just hope that one day all of this madness will end and mabee bying the cards and playing the game will be fun again.

Once again, stereotypical meta ruins view of the game.
People like you are the reason I regret posting on this forum.
You speak of a very select few players that have been overly-concentrated due to the fact that our events are massive because we have so few. If you want to keep bashing us, go right on ahead, but I will keep dismissing it as inane, biased babbling.

well I like Pokémon too lol. (And play the TCG)
Infact I also won a CC this season.
I think your forgetting that lol.
however I do have much experience in the MTG community
I usually can wear a pokemon shirt to a MTG event and they don't care at all. Some of them think it's quite cool. I have never gotten any grief about plying pokemon from any MTG player.
THE MTG players at Origins were super nice even though I won like 1/2 their tournaments (friday). They knew I was from the pokemon area cause I had the Luxray/ or my homeofmew polo/shirt on.
I like MTG cause it's a great get away from pokemon, I can do sucky all I want in MTG and not worry about rating or like the pressure I put on myself about my playing. And when I do good I steal their Points WHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Stereotype? Yes, I'll admit I'm guity. Having to provide an armed officer is what ruins the view of the game.
Speaking as a parent, not a Pokemon PTO, when I first saw all the magic players and the way they dress, I'll admit, my thoughts weren't good but then I met a bunch of them and my view of them is totally diffferent now. In our area, Magic players have never disrepected me or my Pokemon players.
I cannot say the same for YGO. I've seen the kids, met the kids, heard the kids cussing in front of Juniors and their parents. They don't have respect for anyone. Not all are like that. I would say the YGO players over 21 are fine to deal with. It's the 14 to 20 age group that ruins the YGO name. But then again, that's why their in YGO. No little kids, no parents, no supervision, no respect taught at home, and plenty of rebellion. That's teenagers, I get it.

lol.. Many of the people that played in your tournaments for a while either have been or are current MTG players, and this does not just include myself.
I believe Clay and Dana also have played MTG if I remember right ^^~
Recently I got a MTG player who is now also playing pokemon. (and went 5-0 in SWISS at Tomball CC) and he's far nicer then any YGO player ^^~

I'm talking about when I would walk into MetalBeard Games. There would be 10 -12 Magic players, all decked out in black, chains, etc. It bothered me but once I met them my mind was changed.

Most of my league's participants fall in the 14-20 category, buddy. We behave just fine, and I know a few people on the Gym whom can vouch for that.
Watch it.

Cook Is Talking YuGiOh players. so only be offended if you play YuGiOh and you are 14-18/20/whatever years old lol .
Tina's theory is most people hit maturity at 18; paying expenses, and by then they have a job ect.
I can talk about this too many YGO people in the Early teen years are just rude, and it's really tough as a girl in that game too.
Teen girl in yugioh = you get hit on and it may not even be safe. Heck that's prpbably the reason I don't play.
most 13-17 yr old Pokemon players are well behaved. Well better behaved then the YGO players.
For some reason every time a card shop gets robbed or cards get stolen it's YGO cards. wow I wonder why.

Have you not been paying attention to anything I've posted?
I am a Yu-Gi-Oh! Player (League Leader).
I am 16 years of age (17 in March).
Granted, I (as well as most of my players) also play Pokemon, but many of them consider themselves Yu-Gi-Oh! players primarily. Also our store did have a problem with a thief, but he stole Pokemon cards. Oddly enough, we were blamed for it. Thrice. :nonono: Fortunately, the store now knows of the individual responsible... Unfortunately, he's moved.
