Had something on my mind - onevoice

My tip is watch were you get your information. And be careful who you let drive.

What’s up with UDE lately? They seem to be having a series of difficulties recently:
1) They canceled the Toy R Us throw down
2) They don’t provide their judges with their Judging id cards
3) They can not update rating because they had some new players join
a. I guess the never anticipated anyone would join yu-gi-oh
b. I read these are manually entered, does that mean the system is not automated.
i. Begin laughing
ii. End laughing
4) They can not update rating because they had many events
a. I guess they never anticipated anyone actually playing yu-gi-oh
b. I read these are manually enter, does that mean the system is not automated
i. Begin laughing again
ii. End laughing
5) They made a hobby league judges only card
a. Graceful Charity HL04-EN004
i. Are they going to make this card available to hobby league players?
ii. They gave it to judges that worked sneak peeks
1. Oh that explain the hobby league connection
2. I heard hobby league judges might be getting sneak peak promos in the future
iii. Great I’m in a hobby league and I can not get this hobby league card
1. I did see it on ebay
2. Did I mention I saw it on the ebay judging site
iv. Why didn’t they make the Card HL04-ENJ01 (for Judge 01 leaving room for more)
1. Or JL01-EN001
2. Or SPJ1-ENSP1
3. Or some other stupid naming convention
v. By the way what happened the official Website’s Hobby league page that boasts the hugely successful Tournament Pack (TP) program?
vi. Wasn’t there definition of Hobby League “The Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME Hobby League features exclusive Parallel Ultra Rare cards for participation awards, so everyone’s a winner!”
1. Now Judges can be winner too (on ebay)
2. Next they will be in the Hobby League 2 reprint packs
b. Judges next card might be Pot of Greed HL04-TOTHEBANK their next motto card
6) Love how the Official website’s Products booster pack is up to date
a. I understand that is another departments job
b. It is close to date must be that never expect a new booster pack thing again
7) Was it just me or did the Official website’s Promotional cards seem a little out of date
a. These departments must be highly specific to their areas
i. Shame each department can not get a full computer keyboard
1. I guess they only need a keyboard with 10 letter to update their part
2. It stops them from surfing during work hours
8) Does UDE really just want my money?
9) And when did they make Metagames Website their official propaganda site?
a. The Metagames Website has a purpose for the yu-gi-oh community. But recently I have notice they failed that same community. During this year’s US Nationals a major event occurred during day 2 competition. The entire yu-gi-oh community was focused and eager to get answers. We checked and checked for information, but there was no word from Metagames. Metagames was at the event. Metagames had an obligation to you and I to provide the accurate information the community was seeking. Instead they chose to be blind, deaf, and dumb. Do you really think that the 3 blind mice in attendance from their Website didn’t notice something was happening? Not to mention they had an insider that day. I.E. head judge Jerome McHale. They sat around and chose not to do what any objective reporter, or reporting Website, would do. Go after the story with the attitude that no stone would be left unturned. Metagames had an obligation to gather every bit of accurate information and put the pieces together, and provide us with the final outcome. Instead metagames decided that you and I were not worth bringing the truth to. Rather than tell us who, what, why, and the final outcome. They return to their strengths in reporting. Player A summons Sangan in attack position. Player B had the most exciting response that I have seen in all my years of coverage. Blah! Blah! Blah! Jerome may not have been able to provide information that day. And the reporters might not have had any thing concrete. But they could have told us the detail would be known at a later date. Something besides the deletion.
10) UDE had small print on suspended player list
a. Made the in between the lines even harder to read
b. By the way how did they catch one player stacking?
i. Glad to see they finally got that one bad apple
ii. I will know it was my opponents good luck when
1. I open with setting my frog and Torrential
2. He counters with Heavy Storm/Cyber/Six Samurai/Grand Master/Shien/Nobleman/ and United We Stand (7th card added by a professional don’t try this at home)
