 "I genuinely loathe most of the Yu-Gi-Oh! community..."

About
Hi there, and welcome to my page! I'm YamiWheeler, more commonly known as Joey if you know me personally, or Tamaru/Tam if you know me from the IRC channel.

If you've seen me around, you might have noticed that I can sometimes come off a bit brash, blunt or even rude, but I'm generally a pretty friendly person (as long as you don't get on my bad side). I do have a fiery temper though, but I'm very warm to those who I consider to be my friends. It comes across better if you talk to me one-on-one, for example on IRC, as opposed to Wikia. However, I admittedly don't have a lot of tolerance for high-and-mighty and arrogant people or busybodies. I also have a short-fuse for people who behave like fools, or indulge in their own ignorance.

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, I play to have fun, but also win. I consider myself a competitive player, and playing competitive decks is fun for me. However, I also find "fun" (read: casual) decks enjoyable to play with too. Sometimes it can be a welcome change from a stressful meta. Regardless, even my casual decks are built to a competitive standard. "Fun decks" that don't stand a chance of beating anything are not my forte.

I have a low tolerance for people who throw around terms like 'uncreative', 'unoriginal' or 'elitist' when they come across competitive players and decks. Often, it's seen to me as a sign of someone who can't hack it in the competitive environment, or just a sign of a bad player in general. Other pet peeves of mine in relation to the game include players who think that they're better than they are, people who ask for advice and then refuse to acknowledge it, people who carelessly use the term 'broken', and cheaters.

I consider one of my roles on Wikia to be like a proofreader and correcter - I tend to read through recent edits and correct grammatical mistakes, or reword sentences to be more clear and condensed. Aesthetics is important to me. I believe that neat, tidy and consistently well-written documents raise the bar of the Wiki in general. Admittedly, I can be a little bit OCD in regards to grammar and punctuation, as well as design and layout, but I think that trait pushes me to be better in those fields. My edits are most commonly seen on Card Tips and Card Trivia pages.

I've also previously been a Featured Card Article writer, having written the articles for "Snowman Eater", "Gear Gigant X", "Inzektor Hornet", "Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity", "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning", "Tour Guide From the Underworld", "Reborn Tengu" and "T.G. Hyper Librarian".

I started playing Yu-Gi-Oh! when Metal Raiders first came out, but stopped buying cards back in 2005. I no longer play Yu-Gi-Oh! IRL, but still play online via Dueling Network. Despite only playing online, I keep up with the top strategies, and YCS tournaments. Often, I end up losing interest in Yu-Gi-Oh! every few months, due to bad formats or just having other things going on, and then something often happens to peak my interest again months later.

If you wanna chat about Yu-Gi-Oh! or anything in particular, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. I'm not that scary, I promise!
