Stop Stacking

[Reborn Supremacy]

Though now this is pretty easy to spot thanks to being able to look at the stats of other players, it's still something that needs to be looked at.

Although it's not actually outlawed, I really think it should be. I don't know if Lumina has his heart set in stone over this one, or perhaps he hasn't even thought about it, but it's something that gives a massive advantage over games that have random them, especially Omni.

I know that games, especially Omni, aren't just about using high leveled cards. Last time I kicked up a fuss about this in chat I kicked the ass of the player I was against whilst using a more appropriate deck. But it is still an unfair advantage. It's the same as one player only having 5 cards in his account, such as Doomtrain, Edea, Squall, Seifer and Rinoa, and playing random.

Triple Triad games are meant to be fun, and purely just fun. I know I play more competitively than most, but I don't take steps to try and guarantee my victory to make up for my inadequate playing skill.

Just something I'd like to talk about, post views please.

You have the right to do whatever you want to do with your deck. However, the ability to sell your cards to a "shop" will be disabled in the next minor update in effort to make you use the player shops.

[Reborn Supremacy]

People can have rights to anything, but they'll be the minority out there that will abuse any inch you give them, this being one of the cases.

The worst thing I thing about this, is that they are practically conning other players out of cards, players who have perhaps earned there cards through using more legitamate decks too, by playing random, trade one or whatever and nothing else. Perhaps there is something you can do about that...?

I'm also not talking from first hand experience, it's just something that I think needs to be address more seriously than freedom to do what they wish, but the ability to sell things in the shop is a step in the right direction.

Remember, stacking your cards isn't the only cheap way to win games. For example, I put Atom's No Cross, me first and I'll win a good 90%+ of the time. If we were to outlaw stacking decks, we'd also have to outlaw a good number of rulesets (which should never happen).

Newbies should be the only ones that have an excuse of having been conned into a game. Peeps who see a set of rules that depends largely on card power should check his/her opponents stats. Those who don't can only blame themselves for getting into that particular game. If you haven't gotten into that habit, it may be a good idea to pick it up.

Remember this, NO ONE is forcing you to play games with people who have stacked decks.

I get too few a games as it is, without having to worry about stackers.

One thing that makes it so that I wont do anything further to resolve this issue is this simple rule: "If I were to sit down and play triple triad with you, would I or would I not have a stacked deck?" .. the answer is yes. Why? Because this is MY deck and I will organize it in the way that gives me the best odds.

Ever play Magic or say Yugioh? You would stack your deck to give you the best odds right? Yep. This is no different.

[Reborn Supremacy]

Never played Magic or Yugioh, so I can't really understand it fully except the principle of what you're saying. It is understandable why people want to do it. To try and win, which is primarily what games like this are for. I just think it's kinda pathetic to ALWAYS hide behind random because you are a bad player.

Yu-Gi-Oh has monster cards that can be weaker than others, as all card games.
And of course, if you don't want to lose, you don't want to include the weak cards (that has no utility compared to the others) on your deck, thats the principle of all card games, have a powerful deck to defeat your opponent.
And yes, you can't chose the order that the cards will come at Yu-Gi-Oh, so it works like the Random System of DW. You can't just blame someone because he made a deck to win on his rules, but you can use your other cards for other games, with other rules, so you will have your advantage too.
I don't think hiding behind Random is noobish, the guy just want to keep the good cards, if you said you didn't know Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic, or other related card games, you can't just say things like that.

I think anyone would pwn with 20 blue eyes white dragon, and 20 twin headed thunder dragons( I pwn with him)

and I think that the stackign decks is entirely upto the players interest, but it can also depend on what you consider to be a stacked deck
