Double Teaming

[Jai Hearts]

No, you missed the point. It wasted Zan's time. He wasn't fighting for anything but for the fact both sides needed someone.

I guess since is being brought up..., this would be a great example why double teaming is good. To be honest, it didn't waste my time, but being able to fight both teams and to help/give feedback to a team is one of the pros of it. Was it an inconvience? Maybe, (to me it wasn't because again, I didn't mind, it was fun.) but gotta learn to take lemons and make lemonade, yeah? Plus I know both teams love me.

wouldnt this time be better spend training less strong members or recruiting new people. teams arnt here for 24/7 tbs. you can do so much more then just tbing 24/7. even now my team has an event so we arnt just focused on this one act.

[Aeon]

I mean, and have you SEEN the spawn area? All those blank slates just waiting to be trained? IMAGINE THE TEAMS WE COULD HAVE. We could have such numerous and good teams and regular tournaments with that many members of the community.

@Aeon
You're not wrong, but we have to keep in mind. There are people who'd rather not be a part of a team, or even the community in general. I mean, even I actively avoided the community at the start.

[Aeon]

Yeah, but there's also people that don't know there is a community of teams. Most of them are at a weak level and use outdated decks, but we can fix that.

[Aeon]

And honestly, Vanguard was not fun for me until I started CFing in a team. It was a lot smaller of a community back then, but none the less, it was very fun. We actually TB'd DS a few times, good times I gotta say. Of course, not many would remember the short lived Chrono's Gate.

[Cipher Izanagi]

That's actually a reason I say they want NOTHING to do with it.

"weak level"

I don't like seeing that thrown around at all. I'd rather keep player rankings out of the community, and I just... feel like that's a big issue. Calling someone weak isn't a good way to get them to join the community. What if they're new? Do we call them weak and act like an elitist? We were all new at one point. What's the point of putting others down, when we ourselves were like that at one point?

[Aeon]

For me weak level isn't saying they're bad, it's that they're... ignorant. Ignorant meaning they haven't had the chance to learn better options and better strategies.

This sounds pretty bad, doesn't it?

[Jai Hearts]

honestly anyone can win with a meta deck just need a bit of luck thats all, so no to rankings.

but this is about the community not who is strong and weak, imagine a bussiness whos workers dont work for em or someone else work. no bussiness keeps noe contracted workers for long and those who do can fall so easly.

there are even teams that let people fight now instead of there own members that are on one team because if the elitist mentality but these people are again on another team. i say whats the point of having a team if not all members are allowed to play but those that play in 20 tbs for 20 different teams can ?

[Cipher Izanagi]

Little bit. But I get what you mean. I just... don't want that all thrown around, y'know?

Also pushing it back up since I legitimately want to see how someone intends to enforce this if we go about it:

How do we do it and get each team to agree to it. How to we change the formula and rules for something that's been ingrained in this community for it's entire life, even if it's been looked down on.

The situation was moreso that, I was asked to play on the opposite side after playing for one side. It wasn't me being a TB-fiend. In fact, in other teams that I'm on, I don't play too much because I'd rather have others play before me since I have the mentality of "I can always play on Team A, I'll let people on Team B play". The only times that I do play is when asked, lack of members, or if I really want to. Most of the time, I am asked, not saying I am lazy: I honestly just prefer others getting their tbing needs out of the way first.

[Sirvat]

Basically get all leaders to agree and only teams that don't allow double teaming should fight other teams that don't allow it.  enn just throwing that out there

[Cipher Izanagi]

@Sirvat
I see what you're going for. You're the first one I've seen attempt to address this issue, but that wouldn't work. But that doesn't address the leaders agreeing, and that also would cause more issues in the community.

[Jai Hearts]

honestly myth ofcourse i already know mutliple teams that will still break it even if official and mods that will literally change the rules to stay in the right

honestly i doubt anything will change because most people in this community have one thing in mind, to win. with the mentality that they should have everything control everything and everyone and if they are caught in the wrong they ether become hypocrits or say the rules dont apply to em so i doubt much will change and while some people want to stop mutli teaming they just dont want to be the ones to give up there members or power even do it really is pretty much nothing since they bend the rules to keep those they wanna keep, ironically giving others more power over them then themselves.

wow ok that was deep.

[Asaka Sorciere]

Like Mythos Said, Us being former DS members we can understand why Double teaming is not an issue... We were given the wings to fly and freedom to use them, but even so I never did once multi team even when I had friends on other teams. The one time I was on another team I left DS for the time being then shortly returned. The point is, if something here was lost was just your sense of loyalty. This is a game have some fun worry less about who you fight and worry more about why you fight. 


NEVER AGAIN BOTHER ME FOR SUCH TRIVIALITIES

[Jai Hearts]

well asaka dont know how youre back here but community has changed allot that now basically most tbs are TA vs TA on here. it is about having fun but whats fun about basically fighting the same people over and over, same decks they use again and again ?

in the past it was double teaming one person on maybe 2 teams, but now its mutli teaming someone fighting for about 5 different teams some as stated earlier fighting for both sides in the same tb denying others the chance to fight because they dont want to lose.
