I just think there's less strategy and skill in these. Sure there is strategy and skill, but less of it. When you don't know whats coming up irl, you have to gamble,a nd you have to risk the gamble. There's a reason they don't do card drawing stuff nomally. At least say that you played a really gay card last turn to see the cards that are coming up. I think if you're looking for SKILL and STRATEGY you want it to be more life like than "Here's some cards, you know what order they're coming up with."


Actually, it'd be much less strategy to give you the ending piece, put the monsters where they need to be, on the field and in the grave, and win that way. This way, it involves more. You choose what you RFG, you choose what your grave, you choose what you revive.

I don't totally disagree. I do like the idea, but it can be executed better. As for my reasoning being terrible, you're all stating your reasoning is good because it promotes skill and strategy (which I keep saying it gives less off) and that it's from WC2006-8 (Which isn't a reason.)


I understand the execution may leave something to be desired, however in my opinion, that's the most skill based, least opinionated, least yes/no basic comprehension question on the test. 0_0

P.S. Takuya Kuchiki is pretty damn ignorant isn't he?


Uhh... *cough cough* I'll reserve my personal judgment on him, however I'd like to point out that he's not necessarily being disrespectful to you, so you have no right to disrespect him.

 Ok, hold it. This is insane. where did I say that the whole thing was terrible? I said the thing that was TERRIBLE was the fact you knew what you were going to draw next 5 turns. (or less obviously.) And you guys don't bother reading it all and assume I'm againest it.

I would put in some more words, but i know I would get banned for them because one member on here is just ignorant. Seriously, give a hand out to everyone and let's all go to a charity consort to stop ignorant people from making quizes. By that I don't mean Jey and Billie.

What a witty comment.
>_>


Anyways, you said you aren't against. If you aren't against, you must be for.

So that means...:

The fact that you know what you draw makes it more skilled, as the cards that help you draw also require you to drop off a monster. You choose what you drop off. It'd be too easy to leave it at the ending part of the duel with "you have X in your hand, Y in the grave and RFG, Z on the field."

Second of all, it's not just a skill based test, it's also a general card pool question, to see if you know the effects of the cards provided.

Other then posting it, and donating one question, Takuya had little to do with the examination. The questions were donated by other members.

Yea, but he was the one actively defending it, and being the faggot about it as if he's witty and made an intelligent comment to himself.

 And, one last thing, since I must always argue a point I believe in. ^_^

On the subject of the time limit, there are just too many problems with it. First of all, it would require the proctor and test taker to be on at the same time, which is an inconvenience for both. Should a proctor live in a vastly different time zone, it'd be illogical to turn down good test graders just because of where he or she lived, and grant the job to a sub-average one just so the test can be timed.

Second of all, it does not take into fact medical conditions. A user could claim a broken arm or ADHD or various other situations, and... there'd be little you could do to verify whether or not the condition existed, and if you could, it would be too much of a hassle, and would not be worth it.

In short, there is no reason to make the test have a limit, as it is an inconvenience for both the test taker and the person delivering and grading the test.

 Yeah. Now can this flaming stop already? We're trying to do something in benefit to the board and you're overreacting. Anyways, you say that you're against now.
