Forum:Idiots who don't know rulings or how the game works.

Guy I was dueling on Dueling Network thought he could use my Ultimate Offering during his turn. Afterwards, I offer a rematch to which he says I don't know my rulings and says I'm bad at dueling. Worst part is he said he played for 3 years. >.> Post your horrible duels with people who don't understand the game below for some laughes or facepalms.

He's just out of date. The oldest version of the card allowed either player to use it. The newer ones are changed so that only the controller can use it. (Though, you must follow the newest errata, regardless of the card you have). -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 04:54, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

If it makes you feel any better, someone tried to use Effect Veiler on my Archlord Kristya to allow him to Special Summon during his own Main Phase. When I called him out on the wording he decided not to read his own card. (Second time he did that during the same duel.) Plus, I had another guy try to Special Summon virtually every turn while I had Kristya out. Djjomon (talk • contribs) 06:53, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

well, i dueled a guy using a burn deck (sorta) he used GK Servant then CHAINED Messenger of Peace then chained again Chain Strike. He keeps insisting it is possible and have dueled alot more people BETTER than me and said its possible O.o lol 33royward (talk • contribs) 07:04, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Oh what happens is quite abysmall; from chaining normal traps and monster effects to my counters to not knowing that if I can chain a trap they target means that they don't get a new target...oh and whoever mentioned people trying to special summon while they got Kristya, same thing happens while I got Fossil Dyna out. NO ONE keeps track of One Day Of Peace's effect, overextending as a result. Also there are those fine folk that think anything of thiers being sent to the grave on thier own effects is a cost and thus can't be negated. (Foolish Burial a cost to them ~_~) 76.102.180.94 (talk) 07:40, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Dueling Network is full of terrible players. I dueled a guy who thinks they can use Gladiator Beasts' effect DURING the battle phase, not the end of the battle phase, and when I told him to read the card, he left. I also dueled a person who thinks Odin's summon can't be negated with Solemn Warning. I also dueled a guy who thought tokens can be used for Xyz summons. The list goes on and on, but the worst for me had to be when I dueled a guy who thought the game was like Duelist Kingdom rules, and he didn't even know what flip effects were or what tributes were, and he said he's been dueling for a year. Dueling Network is a good site, but the major problem is bad players. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 12:34, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Most of the duelists on the dueling network are really bad, the stupidest mistake is trying to use Pot of Duality or Sangan while Thunder King Rai-Oh is on the field (it's even worse if they control the thundr king).

I happened to run into one user who think "Summon is Summon", reckless if it's part of effect, like "Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord" can be negated by.... "Solemn JUDGMENT" and he also said that the UDE Rulings I showed to him (Van'Dalgyon's in case) is no longer true and Konami is his proof. He still not changed ever after I got many proves; couple from here and few from other users, included dest while he's still activate and couple Admins. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  12:47, January 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh, here's a good one. I use Solemn Warning on a guy's Stardust Dragon. He tries to negate that Warning with THAT SAME STARDUST. Runer5h (talk • contribs) 16:09, January 29, 2012 (UTC)Runer5h

Lots of people who don't recognize the difference between Judgment/Rai-Oh and Warning. Not so much stupidity now that I'm only dueling people with 1100+ ratings... BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 16:58, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

How about an opponent attacking my Set Don Zaloog with something weaker... I think it was Armageddon Knight, then refusing to discard, saying that Zaloog's effect only activates on an attack from me.Battlemaniac (talk • contribs) 22:15, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

People who think MST negates stuff. I'll activate like Pot of Consistency or something, and they'll chain MST thinking it negates my card. A guy I played against just yesterday with like 1200/2000 did not know that discarding a DARK monster for Dark Grepher is a cost (he was running Dark Worlds, so you can only imagine the mess that ensued). People who don't read your cards when they don't know what they do. I don't run Dark Worlds anymore because I get sick of people not knowing the attack power of my stuff when I have Gates out or use Raven's effect. People who don't know how gaining an extra Normal summon with Swap Frog works. Another guy I played was a real winner. I had Glow-Up in grave. I milled to summon it, and it was Wulf, so I summoned Wulf. HE for some reason thought I was trying to mill for Lyla, and said wait till the End Phase to mill. I put Glow-Up back in grave, out Wulf on my deck, and repeated my move to show him how slow he is. He still didn't understand, so I said to him verbatim "I'm not listening to you anymore because you have lost your damn mind!". Then I summoned Trishula and beat the holy bahjeezus out of him. These are just the few stories I can remember right now. -- Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo  22:31, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Nice choice of names, Summoned Skull 2. Which bring me back to my old days when I had a conflict with outdated judge, who is also playing the game at that time. He tributed his own Monster for Dark Strike Fighter, burn me down then tributed my own monsters (which I didn't know it was illegal back then) to torturing me to death. Next one; He tried to playing "Solemn JUDGMENT" on the summoning of "Shining Angel" which used by other copies, while inside the BATTLE PHASE/DAMAGE CALCULATION. I told him off and he pouted as he shoved his trap back face-down. Final part; he told me off that I can't tribute "Stardust Dragon" or "Exiled Force" while "Skill Drain" is face-up on the field. He didn't realize that Tribute part is actually Cost so I gave him a walk paper and took this job which I am continuing to collect today. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  22:38, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

I hate when judges don't know the rules. It can cost you a game you would have otherwise won. -- Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo  22:52, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Or he don't accept that this site exist; really, this site has all correct official source that can prove him wrong. And he's younger than I am - only by few years, at least I am understand how ATEM and Falzar feeling about this hard work; being Judge (Falzar ain't have a title) without need of Admin powers. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  22:55, January 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Guy REFUSES to believe The World makes a lock. Funny part, before he said Let Irate God decide, I posted the lock page, and before that he was kissing all the butt he could find lol
 * I have NO idea what is problem was lol, he was just butthurt I guess >.>--Helix-king (talk • contribs) 00:51, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Once I had Vanity's Fiend on the field, he tried to monster reborn, I said you can't special summon with Vanity on the field. So he tried to synchro summon with the excuse "Synchro monsters are synchro summoned not special summoned". He ragequit once I pasted the link for Synchro Summon. Once in rated, about 700~ rating, I had a ryko set from last turn, I flipped it to get rid of his only monster, normal summoned Dimensional Alchemist and was told, "Idiot learn how to play, you can't normal summon on the same turn you flip summon." Then he ragequit. Quite a few people that refused to believe S/T are included in Gorz the Emissary of Darkness's condition to summon. Even in the 600-800's. I've had my own stuff ups though. I was playing a Malefic deck, Was against an Elemental HERO The Shining with 3200 attack, my opponent had pretty low LP, I only had about 100. My field spell was Clear World so if that turn ended I lost, if I destroyed it I'd lose a Malefic. So what happened was I forgot that Maxx "C" only works on your opponents summons. I can't remember the exact game but I think I dropped Maxx "C", activated two Geartowns (second one set first ofcourse), drew for that special summon, drew into a Malefic Cyber End Dragon and won. He didn't complain about it though, I only realised after the game ended. 124.179.112.28 (talk) 01:07, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Let's not forget the ragequitters due to either not knowing the rulings on cards, the fact that you can build better decks than them. (Played with my newly revised Sacred deck and won 5 out of 5 rounds in a row, should have been 8 out of 8 if it wasn't for ragequitters.) Gotta love how they whine about Wind-Up Hunter loop and all that good stuff when I constantly deal with LS once an hour if I play. You don't see me complaining when JD is out there. >.> Adamtheamazing64 (talk • contribs) 01:40, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Probably the richest moment for me is when this one time I dueled some 60 card darkworld/dragon deck. Guy didn't know that sending is not the same as discarding as he just dumped his hand for Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World TRUBO or something and used them all first turn for some reason to get out Number 10: Illumiknight, end up dropping a Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World. He had a Grapha in the grave right, so he tries to activate Gateway to Dark World on the same turn. I tell him he can't do that so he ends. I go and set Torrential and Morphing Jar 2 for a fairly evil combo and a dark bribe just incase. He activates gate before I end and then proceeds. He bounces Beiige...and then tries to banish Grapha for REDMD...I had to explain that it doesn't work like that. So he activates Allure and ends up summoning 2 The Tricky with Sillva, Warlord of Dark World and Red-Eyes Wyvern. He attaks morphing and he ends up milling like 20 spell cards along with a couple of traps and summons nothing useful but I blow up his field anyways just so I have a clear shot at him, where he ragequitted shortly after. 96.249.204.41 (talk) 03:37, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Ever after see one that has it own mistake; I recalled my own - Through two different duelists I fought while using Fairy Counter deck; first one did notice but second did not. I had "Thunder King Rai-Oh" face-up on the field when I played "Pot of Duality", that's how first one reminded me and I get it reset, as I realized it was "add", not draw. However, when I fought with second duelist, he didn't see it coming but lucky that was just practice duel so he and I let that slip. Later when I drew Pot of Duality for second time in the match (that's only copy I had in that deck), I remember and not play that card (again, Thunder King Rai-Oh was around) -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  11:37, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Dueling with my friend on WC11; our first Duel I made a comeback while I had 100 LP left (he could have one but got cocky/miscalculated his monsters' ATK points) by pulling out "Shooting Star Dragon". Well, next Duel he summoned "Dragunity Knight - Trident", Tributed it to send "Shooting Star Dragon" from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard, then used "Monster Reborn" to revive "Dragunity Knight - Trident". At first I thought he was just making sure I didn't bring out "SSD" against him again, but then I realized he had planned to revive it with "Monster Reborn".
