Forum:Idiotic Things My Friends Say

Not totally sure if this is the place to put this, but right now I just need to let off some steam.

Alright, I have a friend of mine, Joe. He's been playing Yu-Gi-Oh ever since it came out. Even though he's been playing for that long, he messes up on rulings. To err is human, right? He doesn't like being wrong though, so he'll try to argue to get his way. It really doesn't help that he's already very argumentative.

Now, we have a judge. We'll call her Jane. She is a great judge and she usually judges at a local tourney here. Now, Joe and Jane argue a lot, and I mean a LOT. She usually has to scream in order for him to actually listen. She's usually right.

Now, she goes home with her crew. Fine. Usually me and Joe hang out over at the closest restaurant after the tournament to have dinner together. That's also fine. After we order our food, we sit down and we talk about some projects that he's working on. What I really don't like is that he talks smack about Jane behind her back when we're eating.

He's said many stupid things before, but something he said that day really caused me to raise an eyebrow. He said, "I don't think judges should play in the tournament that they are judging. They know more than the other players."

I don't understand his point of view. Just because the judge knows more than you doesn't mean that she knows more than the other players. I and a lot of my Yu-Gi-Oh friends know about as much as she does, if not more. Why shouldn't be allowed to play in the tournament she's judging? He also doesn't like that the owner of the store pays her in packs for her services. So what? That's how he wants to compensate for her services. He does it of his own volition. If she was forcing him to give her packs, that would be a different story. That should NOT affect her ability to play the game well. So what if she gets some cards? Am I not crazy for saying that what he said was one of the silliest things I've ever heard right next to card games on motorcycles?

I apologize, I just wanted to say something.
