*This post is specifically for my fellow Belleville players. Anyone else though can read it and hopefully gather ideas.*
The Belleville players for the most part are good players. I bear a liking for these good players but to be honest the only good thing about our Belleville Yu-Gi-Oh activities is this select bunch of players. Certain other players are either little kids or fucking ass-munching annoying idiots. Not to mention the owner of our card shop isn't big on Yu-Gi-Oh. There are also a few more contributing factors that I will get into later. Before I leave my fellow community for 8 months (even though I will be back periodically in those 8 months) I will leave some parting advice regarding how to improve the community so everyone is happier.
1. Address the Assholes: The biggest asshole I can think of is Bobby so I will use him in my examples for this post. Bobby, as everyone knows, is an asshole (putting it lightly). His presence for the most part is sickening to be around. His random comments are annoying and really stupid. He borrows decks and doesn't bear the skill to create his own (he made gravekeeper's a few months ago and it was terrible so he stopped using it). He believes is a really good player and his ego is sky-high. He bears no respect for anyone except the person he borrows decks from. He is really smelly... There are a few more reasons why he is very disliked amongst the majority of players. I believe someone should address him in person and tell him he is a waste of space in this universe (or some other alternative message). The community would be better is he was excluded. He was once banned from the store but then he was allowed back for unknown reasons. Someone should take a stand and eliminate him somehow, and then the other assholes could follow.
2. Nurturing: Yesterday Jon and I gave a little kid some cards to a little card to improve his deck. Mirror Force, Solemn Judgment and a couple other good cards. Personally, I don't want to exist in a community where the little kids are guaranteed to advance you further in the tournament while they stay behind. I was a little kid once and through my own power along with little assistance I became skilled. I think though the little kids should be assisted so they become great too. All of the skilled players should give the little kids a chance and shouldn't be eliminated quickly. Bobby yesterday, for example, was 1-1 and during his next round he quickly wiped out a little kid. I asked him how he won so quickly and then he said "I'm just really good". I later discovered he won so quickly because he beat a little kid. This isn't the way to do things. The little kids deserve more than this unless the little kid in question is a lost cause who believes Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana is terrible in Dragunities...
3. The Store Itself: The owner cares very little about Yu-Gi-Oh. He completely sanctioned Magic the Gathering and he's working with the Pokemon TCG. He refuses to even attempt to sanction Yu-Gi-Oh, or at the least hold more tournaments. He also does not get Turbo Packs or good card sleeves. Also, his single Yu-Gi-Oh cards are mostly slightly overpriced. If the store changes and the store owner changes his attitude it might make things better.
These are the three biggest things I want changed. Hopefully I can come back in 8 months and see some change. That would make me happier.
