Forum:PRIORITY WHAT!?

Hi all! I dont post that often, maybe I should more, or after reading this, you'll say less lol. Anyways, here's my latest blog/complaint/issue. Hopefully some of you will have nice responses, but hey hate if you have to, I'm not offended that easily. Just be honest, that's all I ask.

Me and my friends have allways called priority on card effects during Yugi-oh! duels. Today I find myself, for whatever reason other than boredom, paying extreme attention to the methods in which we are conducting the game. It has dawned on me, a simple epipheny I say, that "retaining priority" to activate an effect seems the wrong way to say it. While not a yelling match, me and my friends clearly have a huge difference of oppinion on the subject, as I'm sure, given some thought, many of the other players out there may as well.

One friend of mine see's "retaining priority" as the official correct way to say what happens when you want to have an effect go on chain link 1, because you allways have priority, its something the turn player allways has and he feels that justifies the wording. His example is like a spunge "retains" water.

Another friend of mine, after thinking about it, decided that "use priority" would be the right thing to say because priority is allways "retained" by both players all the time, its just a matter of using it and not storing/keeping it as retain would imply. This example would be "ringing out" the spunge, to use some of the water that was in it.

Were going to go on playing anyways, but some fellow oppinions would be appreciated.

As allways, enjoy the game, that's what its for. -Kylwinters.
