Subject: Reply to 15+ Wizards stupidity

Greetings,

I have been playing card games for over 10 years now I played Magic from
Alpha through Stronghold and became sick of the game I discoverd
Pokemon and me and my daughter love the game. We have been know to drive for
hours to attend tourneys and she is now 13. I have designed
many original decks that constantly place 1 or second in any tourney played
(some of my known decks are Raicontrol, Burning Lugia, Electric Steelix, and
Rapid Haymaker). I have taight my daughter many life lessons with the
sportsmanship that must be displayed at a major tourney. I have organized
leauges offical leagues in my area as well as unsanctioned tourneys. Without
us adults backing the youth and enjoying the game Pokemon has no future. I
know I get just as excited to go play in a event as my daughter does and
that gives us something in common. My daughter was furious when she read
this and her quote was "screw Wizards if they  dont want my dad playing then
they dont need me." She has already said that she likes the game Magi Nation
(which is a exact mix of Magic and Pokemon) and if Wizards does this action
we will just go full time into that game instead.  Why waste another year
playing in the tourneys just to be told you are not wanted at 15.

oh well that is my rant,

thanks,

James Ware
