i didnt go to wizards of the coast cuz i dont have an account on there that i know the password to. i read them but most of the people on there are on here so i posted here cuz im almost certian id get the same response.

also i would like to say if the judge had a problem with me why didnt he say sumthing if he just told me he didnt want me to say anything i wouldnt of said anything else.

Oh, I must be lost.

I thought this was the BlooPenPal forum.

Remind me to never throw up a post that is gonna get my head ripped off for no reason.

Ha...this man speaks the truth.

Claiming he doesn't care about "newbies" is just stupid. We are group of only 3 people who play from our town. We were overjoyed to learn that just a half hour away there were more players and people who were actually excited about the game. How would any kind of logic permit someone to burn that bridge? It is not in his nature, nor is it in any of ours.

In the end YOU. WERE. NOT. THERE.You have a moderate idea of the situation but you have very little grasp of this person you are just outright insulting.

I'll admit that him and the judge need to sit down and talk. Definitely needs to happen. But if anyone deserves an apology its yames and it should come from you.

this is being taken way too serious, there is never a reason to get this heated over a game, in the end its for fun. and the minute people start throwing out "you violated this, people were being contacted in how to deal with you." its not fun anymore. I know all parties involved so when i say no one was trying to embarrass anyone i mean it, i do know. so come on its a game HAVE FUN. the amount of players around here is small as is we don't need them getting divided bc of something dumb like this.

you have your say of couse, i never meant you disrespect im sorry if i did im looking forward to seeing you firday and no i didnt say i played it at the turny i guess you took that as implied, i said i played on it, which i have i own the map and me and sum friends playd some fun games once and one choose to use it and i hated it the entire time i was on it. sorry i didnt see you had posted on here or i would of replied sooner and i dont think darth O attack was neccary at all im sorry my post made that come i never meant it to turn into this i just wanted a few clarifactions and i thanked you then and will agian for bringing the maps that time.

and this is being taken way to seriusly turk and i think Simon_kaos lets leave this as is on the forums and we can talk friday or sumthing.

Well this is certainly an ugly incident and I am not talking about the posts on these forums.

Yames I feel for you. You have called out this judge for violating game rules when judging but the sad part is you did not bother to read the floor rules for the same event. You sir are equally guilty of not knowing the rules. In fact you should have been disqualified and if you behavior then did not cease you could have been banned from the DCI altogether for arguing with a judge after being Disqualified. You would have made history too because not one Star Wars player has ever been banned.

Whether you like the judges rulings or not doesnt matter. For that tournament whether he missed a couple of points on the rules or not doesnt matter. Unfortunately he was right that day. Someone asked a question he made a ruling.... Period. No did he get some of them wrong? Yes. Did you quietly discuss it with him? It appears you just came here and looked like you wanted make him personally look bad. If not why post that a judge made these rulings. Why not just post your rules questions and then send him a message asking him to look at the correct answers? You did not do that you apparently wanted to embarass the guy.

You griped about the maps. He brought what he had for new players. Did you bring a map? If not you should not say anything. He could have dq'd you for not having the necessary tournament materials as spelled out in the floor rules. It sounds like to me this guy went above and beyond the call of duty. He brought maps for the new players, he gave up his free time to judge so you guys could have a DCI tourney. What did you do for the good of the game on that day?

Wow!!! I must say I am so disappointed on so many levels. The one thing I am not disappointed about though is the judge. He did best and if you would give him time and try to help him, you would probably end up with a terrific judge for the venue. But it seems you were so worried about being right and proving that you knew more than him that you almost drove him away. That is certainly not going to grow the game in your area is it?

As the Content Manager who works over and with the judges I cannot say that happy with the players that did this to the judge at this venue. Please don't come to Gencon and act this way. Judges are human who make mistakes and apparently you are too because posting on here about this is a mistake and a bad one.

By the way the granting yourself cover is not a rule. It is a intepretation of a rule made by Nickname. Meaning until it shows up in the Rulebook, Errata or FAQ it is just an opinion (although a well informed one). As the head judge at Gencon I will not be going by that opinion. It has nothing to do with me not liking Nickname or disagreeing. I find that it is confusing at best and only arises in one situation in a million so I will not rule that. By the way I will not be wrong for ruling it that way either. Just like your judge even though he made a mistake or two was not wrong. he made the call he made and you have to live with it. I guess you would argue with an umpire or ref if you disagreed with their call in a game that you were playing in. That doesnt get the call changed and generally just gets you thrown out of the game. If that had happened at the venue the other day the judge would have been within his rights. You should read the rules also before trying embarass someone.

This whole thing is just sad in my very well informed opinion.

as the judge in this mess id like to say im not mad at Yames2.0, i felt i was on the block and wanted my voice also heard. i have no bad feelings in this i have said im relearning rules while we are playing. as far as im in this i consider this subject closed.

yames,
i look forward to seeing you and your friends friday night. as i have said if you give me time and understanding we will grow our minis players and have a great venue to play at.

ahhhhhhhhhh, this bring me back to the-not-so-long-ago GOWK fights, where everyone was being politely rude to each other

well notice how well worded his rudeness is
