So what was the issue about? Trying to get an idea so I can stay on topic with the thread.
Another thing that I remember was how many changes Waboku had in rulings. First it was zero battle damage and monster is still destroyed, then it was zero battle damage and monster lives, then destroyed, then lives--it was like Konami couldn't make up their minds about it and just decided to say, "your monster lives" to end all the suffering. =P
I remember the rules where you reveal any card that you get from your deck but from Morphing Jar and Different Dimension Capsule. I remember the issue and ruling on Airknight v.s. Morphing Jar and Fiber Jar.
The more issues that are brought up from players and judges to the people in charge of the game help evolve the game into a more consistant product. Every TCG has these problems. This is just the nature of the game and how it was developed.
IMO, I still think the game was made similar for a quick buck. =/

Unless you speak/read Japanese, or happen to be in communication with the designer that created the card in the first place, this statement is complete speculation. Yu-Gi-Oh! online's card text seems to be based solely on the original English text printed by Konami. This much is fairly obvious, if you happen to have a lot of the pre-MFC English cards in your possession for comparison purposes. I can't say for certain if 100% of them match, since I haven't played YGO Online in months, but from everything I've heard this is the case.
You can place the blame wherever you want, but keep in mind that your arguments are speculative by their very nature, as are everyone else's (mine included). Taking it personally or making it personal is just going to cause you grief.

Of course that is good... but it also a task of the mods to handle this. Guys, is someone of you around here? (no offend meant against the mods btw)
djp952 said:LOL. I am a moderatorMy dog Shadow would love the comparison, too!
I see no reason for personalizing these arguments, and yes, I will stop it if I have to. I've been doing my best to remain fair and impartial and have read certain posts over and over to be as certain as I can that I'm "barking" up the right tree![]()

In fact, you can probably look for yourself in World Wide Edition in Japanese.
Isn't Kevin Tewart going on these days about how he influenced Konami in this way or that way?Tiso said:And yet this does not change the fact a great number of cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! Online are wrong in their text compared to what they are today. Keep in mind UDE has nothing to do with it either.
