RikotheFoxKid on Yu-Gi-Oh!
Introduction
Hello. I believe we’ve never met. Or maybe we have, and I’ve
just forgotten.
I’m RikotheFoxKid. Most people call me Riko. Some call me by
my real name, Kyle (though generally only those I know in
real life). I am a longtime resident of Pojo. I started
viewing the site in 2007, and formally joined the forums in
August of 2008, after migrating from YugiohCardMaker. As of
my writing this, it is September of 2014. I’ve been here for
quite a long time.
Over the course of my time here, I have done several things.
I have uploaded many Deck Profiles that I uploaded to my
YouTube account to this site. I believe they are no longer
here, but you can still find them on YouTube, under the same
name I use here. I believe there are flaws to using YouTube
as a medium for Yu-Gi-Oh!, a point which I plan to elaborate
at a later time.
I have been a member of the Card of the Day team twice (and
currently am). In August of 2014 I became a moderator for
the forums. I have succeeded Baneful in overseeing the
Forbidden/Limited List Discussion Board, though really all
that means is that I established the Guidelines.
In terms of the game itself, I have played several Decks
over the years, ranging from Macro Monarch to Lightsworn to
Mermail (my personal favorite) to Shaddoll. I believe I
specialize in Deckbuilding and theory. Overall I have a
solid understanding of the game as a whole, but I feel I am
somewhat weak in actual performance; I have attended several
regionals, but have only ever topped one.
However, I will not deny: I think I am pretty good at the
game. I have been considered the best player at my
university since my first year (the playerbase is overall
casual, but we do have a select few competitive players). I
made it to Day 2 of my first and currently only YCS. Several
players I would deem above me have noted my abilities. I was
even lucky enough to take a match off of Patrick Hoban
himself at ARG Washington, DC. He got me back the next day
at the 1K event, but I still technically have an even record
with him. :P
That’s not to say I’m not humble; I will be the first to
tell you that in the grand spectrum of things, I have a long
way to go.
So, why am I writing for Pojo? Of all places, why pick the
site that is deemed by several people as a cesspool of awful
players? Why not try writing for a place like TCGPlayer? Or
why not try and become noteworthy at someplace more
“prestigious”, like DuelistGroundz?
Well, for one, I tried posting on DuelistGroundz. That
didn’t end well. To keep it simple, I don’t like the
atmosphere of that place. And I’ve had an incredibly bad
interaction with one of their users.
But the other reason is that once upon a time, I was awful
too. I look back at my old posts, even ones from only a few
years ago. And I cringe. It took a long time for me to get
to where I am now. But you know what? I got better by
posting on Pojo.
This place is not as bad as people make it out to be. Are
there people who aren’t good? Yeah, more than a lot of other
places. But that’s because the atmosphere of Pojo is
supposed to be warm and friendly. That’s why I liked the
site so much when I joined. Sure there are always the jerks,
but as long as you aren’t downright stupid, and are willing
to learn and accept criticism from others, most people can
warm up to you.
I improved my game a lot by reading what was here. I had
never even heard of DuelistGroundz or Alter Reality Games
until after I had received my regional top in March 2013.
That was all Pojo.
At the end of the day, I’d probably still be considered bad.
I’m not some high profile player; I’m still a random. But
I’m okay with that. I’m okay with knowing that I’ve gotten
much better over the past six years, and will only keep
improving.
DuelistGroundz is where the strong weed out the weak. Pojo
is where the weak learn to fight back against the strong. (I
totally stole that from someone on the forum, but I forget
who. Sorry. .___.)
If I can improve greatly by learning from this site and this
site alone, then others can too. And I’m going to write so I
can help them in that endeavor. I’ve been told I present
myself well, so hopefully this works out.
So, welcome to my den.
