Second one, did she never consider he wanted to keep them for sentimental value? Even if I stopped playing my cards still hold a lot of memories, I'd love to be able to look back on them 10 or 20 years down the line.
The moment she threw in "childish hobby" and "children's card game" and immediately have to suspect that the only reason he had been looking to quit was to please her ego. She's exactly like Your Yugioh Channel's ex. I got to be honest, as much good as Yugioh abridged did for the community, it still bears the unpardonable sin of branding the game as a "children's card game" when we all know this game is too complicated for most kids to grasp.

@@makingadjustments it's less the reset and more about someone that's supposed to love and respect you (and vice versa) showing immense disrespect for your time and passion. Video games might be "useless" to a degree or a "waste of time" but then someone could feel the same way about an artist drawing or a musician making music. Does that justify a partner throwing away artwork that had hours of heart and effort put into it? Does it justify breaking an instrument so they can't play anymore without buying a new one? The way people still belittle video games as a hobby in the year 2024 is mind blowing to me. Everyone has different things that sing to their heart and get them through their day-to-day. Your lover shouldn't decide what hobbies you can and can't enjoy with perhaps very few exceptions.
My ma gave away my Pokemon cards this was back in 2008 i didn't speak with her till around 2015. I had thousands of dollars worth of cards I had been collecting. So I can relate with many of those people in reddit who lost their collection.
Second story is insane. Regardless of the collection aspect, selling your partner’s property is a huge red flag, particularly when there is a motive of just not liking their hobby.
@constantinechase9382 Not from a friend but my grandmother gave me a Familiar Possessed Aussa shortly before she passed. Still have it all these years later and I would be devastated if it was gone.
@ I’m sorry for yoir loss. That’s a very moving story that highlights sentimentality and the significance something small can have. A card may not be just a card.
For the third story, if it was a guaranteed win and the extra set-up didn't matter, why didn't the friend just quit so they could go next game? That usually means they have something that could turn the tides (see a surprise Mirror Force) in my history, and are mad that the friend didn't fall for the trap.
Usually between "casuals" (in quotes because sometimes it's not just casuals, but people in between) have this... hate? disgust? they just don't like to surrender or the other player to surrender (Probably because of some sense of pride?). So I would assume that's the case. If you think that it makes no sense that they didn't surrender because they dislike the idea of it (because they could see it scummy or whatever) despite them asking for the other member to finish them off, remember that people are not the most logical being, and even more when they are mad.
Second Story: Don't sell your partners stuff without consent, even if you think that stuff is "childish". The people who created Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! are also adults who poured their heart and soul into crafting those "childish" things. I'm an adult who works and pays bills while indulging in Yugi-mon's and other nerd stuff.
Probably did her a favor. Most girls keep that shit way past the 6 month to 1 year expiration date after opening the product. (Obviously a joke, but seriously girls do need to know make up expires quickly.)
19:38 honestly this is what happens when teachers and parents don’t intervene. Kids will take it into their own hands and will almost always be more extreme than what adults would do.
I see a lot of people with their "property violation is wrong" hot takes while the bigger picture could hit them in the head and they wouldn't recognize what it is. The only assholes in this story are the adults. Even Billy gets a pass because his behaviors are entirely somebody's responsibilities.
One of my favorite Yugioh stories, is that in middle school/elementary school. My friends and I were super big into Yugioh, and somehow managed to convince our teacher that since Yugioh involved math. That meant its a valid way to learn it, so they let us go in the hallway and play Yugioh during math periods sometimes.
17:00 So let me get this straight. This bully assaulted, sexually harassed, attacked this kid for being disabled, and the school said "boys will be boys" So, people want to advocate against bullying, yet teachers think it's a male exclusive concept to bully? _What the hell_ That School must let a lot of crime occur, while also completely ignoring the students, while treating them like numbers to a 9 to 5 job.
I have a fun YuGiOh story In school my friends and i would play friendlies during our breaks. Brought us all together and generally a great time. There was this one kid no one wanted to play with because he would very often lie, steal or cause physical harm (generally just an unpleasent kid). One time i was playing with a friend and i saw this kid circling the table in the crowd of people, i had an inkling he was up to something, so i kept him in the corner of my eye. The moment i search my deck and opponent looked away, he tried to steal my extra deck. I grabbed him by the collar, fist in the air and shouted "Give them back NOW!" A teacher saw this and unfortunately i got in trouble for grabbing them and was sent to the headmasters (not before making sure all my cards were safe as he quickly put them back after the threat) I explained the cards had monitary value and panicked in the moment i saw someone try to steal them. He was really chill and understood, brought the other kid in after me and the situation was resolved as he never tried to steal again after that. Do you think i reacted poorly?
What I learned is, never let people borrow your stuff, it will either be stolen, taken, or given away. I had 4 Pokemon games stolen, as well as a box of rare Pokemon cards. My 360 disc drive was also broken by my friend. As an adult, nobody is getting my stuff but me period. People won't care about your things as well as you do, and its just not worth it. Don't care if it was a $10 card or $100 card, I will never again lend out anything of mine. I lost a good $500-$1000 in value for being nice, learn from my mistakes.
Regarding story #1, valuable or not, that was never a condition of the exchange. We can argue semantics all day, but it itself is weird to me to hand off property so haphazardly, never explicitly state conditions, wait years, and then suddenly want compensation.... It's just a crappy thing to do. My sisters husband did that nonsense after she passed. He wanted me to pay back money my sister GAVE to me months earlier because it was part of a loan they took out jointly. I never agreed to that. It was gifted to me. I was under no obligation. No court in the world would side with the OP for being an opportunist.
Thing is about the remote duel with your friend couldn’t his friend just…. surrender? I mean if you have nothing left you could just say “I have nothing so I will concede” I don’t see anything wrong with that. If you don’t surrender and your opponent prepares for the worst then I don’t think you should complain.
@slenderbear2234 Yeah, that's true, but some player prefer to finish the match because they don't like to surrender as they feel annoyed at not finishing the duel. Heck, I remember being yelled at in my first ever locals match due to surrendering and this year's ago.
I really feel for that guy in the second story. Having your cards lost, destroyed, stolen, or in this case sold off, is such a terrible feeling. Especially if those cards were with you when you were a child. I had a friend who got his cards thrown out by his mom two years ago while she was cleaning his room (we were 22 at the time, idk why she was touching his stuff), one of which was a ghost rare Blue-Eyes, and the pain is still with both of us to this very day. It's never okay to sell or throw out someone else's property without their consent regardless of how you feel about their "childish hobby". If anything happened to my collection I would be devastated. Some of those cards I've had since I was 13, some were given to me by friends I may never see again, and if someone i loved and trusted sold those off i would be unspeakably livid. My heart goes out to that guy
I stopped playing with a 'friend' because he would scoop and immediately want to start a new match if he's going to lose. When he's winning, we play to the end. But the 1/10 times I am going to win, he doesn't play to the end and wants to start a new match. I never got to actually win against him. Once day I just decided to stop playing with him. And now its been years since we've talked.
Second story was a pretty clear AH thing to do. Like the commenters said: you sold property that wasn't yours. Regardless of your reasons or views on his hobby, that's still his property. You do not get to decide what should be done with it without discussing it with him first and getting his approval. Third story: Stalling to make the game last longer when you know you have it on lock is an AH thing to do. Stalling to ENSURE you get the lock is not. That's just a viable strategy. It's a very thin line between the two, because you might not know when you've crossed that exact treshold. If you feel like you've got the game locked and your bases are guarded from any comeback your opponent might attempt, you should probably try to swing for game at that point. The name of the game here is intent and only the OP knows what his intent was.
9:20 _After a period of 25 or so years you sell your cards_ I feel called out. Yet simultaneously, they're still sitting in a cigar box in penny sleeves. You don't get it, the La-Jinn beatdown strat is _tight_ ; I'm never selling my middle school deck.
I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh as often irl due to work (Trying to get into it), but I still buy and keep the physical cards and buy new or extra copies of cards for my current decks.
1. Honestly both sides are at fault here. OP definitely lost interest in those cards if he didn't ask for them back earlier, so I think that's kinda the stopping point there. But the friend is also kind of an asshole in this situation No way a guy in his position doesn't know the value of the cards he's taking and he took advantage of OP in the first place...though whether it was intentional or not is another matter. Honestly, OP isn't owed anything technically and I would rule in the friend's favor. But I think a cool friend would feel a bit guilty and try to make it right somehow in good faith. Whether it's a minor reimbursement (DEFINITELY NOT the full 3k, that's absurd), or however they can settle the matter more amicably. But again, this friend DEFINITELY doesn't owe 3k. 2. Yeah. OP is definitely at fault. There is never a reason to sell someone else's stuff without their permission. Even if you mean well, it's an AWFUL thing to do, you have no idea how much sentimental value anything can have. 3. At first, this one seems like it could go either way to me, but then I remembered that scooping is a thing. I don't fault OP for playing Yugioh the way Yugioh was meant to be played, but at first, I was thinking that he was just playing solitaire Yugioh in a casual game and that seemed kind of unnecessary and was agreeing with Jack.... Clearly Jaden was frustrated or dealing with something and OP wasn't reading the room well. But then I remembered at any point, he could have just picked up his cards, so that's kind of on him for not just surrendering formally if he can't do anything. 4. Everybody's at fault here with no doubt. The torture the cousin was going through was too much and revenge on Bill was absolutely warranted. But that was a step too far honestly. Getting him back in a similar manner makes more sense. Embarrass him, don't destroy his shit. Especially shit that had nothing to do with anything. And Bill doesn't learn anything since there's no association. It solves nothing. But all that said...OP was a kid, so I'm not gonna judge them for it. xD They were a vengeful little kid who was just trying to protect JR, and I can't be TOO upset with that. Alternative would be to just do to him what he was doing to you. Freakin' pants the kid and get a good laugh about it~
😂 i will say.... for the dude giving in and getting annoyed...for all that. You can lay your hand on yiur deck and give up. Yes it will take away the final hit from your opponent but you also clearly weren't in the head space for a game end.
Story three. Op is the A-hole 100% just of disrespecting his friend’s word, their time, and the time of the friends around. That’s all I can say with a cool head for story 3 the rest has be far more heated.
I love that the life point sound effect has the same sylibles as 'Asshole'. I'm going to hear that every time that sound effect is used for the rest of my life.
Nah, the guy in the remote duel IS the a-hole. If you're in a friendly duel with a friend and they say, "Hey, there's nothing I can do you can swing for game." That's exactly what you do, if they do have something they can do and LIED then THEY are the a-hole. So yeah, dragging out a friendly duel does make you a-hole.
Legally, if they said “I don’t have any response” and you go to BP in good faith and you attack, would that be considered a violation of misrepresentation of the gamestate?
The friend who said they have nothing and to swing for game could have just as easily gone "I scoop, next game", if you aren't scooping, you are probably looking for a point to disrupt your opponent to make a comeback, and if that's the case, you are signing up for getting combo'd on again.
@professorchance8515 Are you scooping when the game is basically over or scooping just because things took a turn in your opponent's favor? If you are dead on board and you have no outs in hand, you are in your right to scoop and the people getting mad are the assholes. If you are in the middle of the game and your boss monster gets outed and you scoop to that despite having other monsters on field or interaction still available to you, then I would say you are the problem. I had a friend in college I played Magic with and he would do that a lot, it'd be like turn 4, he'd have out a creature that gets killed while his opponent has almost nothing themselves and he'd scoop. It took a very aggressive talking to from one of the other players to get him to even start seeing the issue. So it's not just about whether to scoop or not to scoop, it's knowing when. The person in the post was basically acknowledging they were dead on board, the onus is on them to scoop. If they don't want to scoop at dead on board then they accept that more cards will be played.
I had my god card stolen back in the day. Everyone who played knew who took it. The people in the office offered to ban the game. I asked what about my card. they said that because they had no proof either way they wouldn't even ask the other person. I just told them not to proceed because it wouldn't help me anyway.
Story 1: Man, money does really corrupt people huh. From giving his card in good will to help his cousin succeed to come back some years after to reclaim said card (well, straight up money) without any prior notice because of, basically greed. Story 2:I love that if we change the matter, more people would relate to the boyfriend. But because it's just some kids card game if fair game for anyone. Story 3: I'm surprised that "Jaden" was THAT upset about a game. I know that Yugioh can be really taxing depending of the "level" of play, but still, to argue about some over-extend and then just leave? It makes me wonder, did he got a really bad day? a bad streak of loses? Did something happened previously during that day? I've been in a similar situation before with a friend, but we reach that point after, i don't know, 7-8 straight loses? but we just end up blaming the game, that it's bullshit and so, not being angry at each other. Story 4: I got bullied in primary school. I knew that they had Yugioh as we play it together (part of the bullying was finding ways to make me lose and if I complained, I wouldn't be able to play with other kids) and I NEVER thought of doing that. I always thought of punching them but never to destroy their belongings (Probably because I was raised in a way that I respected anyone's belongings, specially mines) But I kind of understand that the person writing this felt hand tied in a corner about the situation. There was betterer solutions, like changing the boys to another school (something I should've done) I understand, cannot respect it but I also can't blame him for doing it.
Man for that 3rd story, SCOOP lmfao. If you're gonna give them the satisfaction of ending you, you're giving them the right to do it as they please. If you had no options and wanted the game to just be over, then just scoop lol.
I looked into the og post, and the person going by Jack stated in the comments that the player will not surrender no matter what, due to his "code." When he asked him about it after the match. AND in my opinion, it sounds like this person is known for this.
"Possession is 9/10ths of the law" means if you have something on you that you shouldn't and you say it's not yours...you're getting in trouble for it. The way you're saying it is if I steal something from you, since it's in my possession, it's mine and I can't get in trouble for having it. I don't know why people use the phrase that way...
Story 1: the cards still belong to OP as OP says to “borrow” making it still OPS property making it illegal for person B to sell making person B liable and should be required to pay for the damages that happens next.
For the first one, I doubt he had any cards that were actually even worth what he thought. If he was so confident in their pricing he would've mentioned, he would have said "I gave hima 1st Ed LOB Blue-Eyes" or something, thrown at least 1 flagship card in there to give us an idea. He's just claiming they were worth a lot, the other BS i find, is he alludes to these cards being very old and what sounds to me like some of the earliest cards in Yu-Gi-Oh's life, even 7 years ago (2018) i can't think of more than MAYBE 1 or 2 outliers that would be COMPETITEVLY valuable from that era, any old card like that would have been meta was obviously super banned at this point. Maybe IO was still around then? again, i can't think of that many cards that would have been old and useful as meta cards even 7 years ago from those early sets. So I don't see why someone playing competivley would want these cards since they are just binder eye-candy and not much more...
1st Story: Both are the assholes. A only started to care for the cards because they went up in value. However person B still sold stuff he wasn't allowed to sell. Did A deserve full price? No, but B should have at least split the money with him. 2nd Story: Not much to say. Girl is absolutely insane and I hope this was the wake up call for him. She is lucky she didn't have to buy his collection back for him (I wouldn't be as lenient). 3rd Story: Overkills are extremely rare. If your opponent doesn't give up you *have* to go the extra mile to be sure, they can have a surprise trap, or even a simple Battle Fader in hand to survive this round and make a comeback. If you seriously want the game to end because you have a *0%* chance to win this, just give up, easy as that. 4th Story: Yes he is a asshole, but I still approve.
18:40 there are better ways to resolve a conflict all he did was make that kid who could have been going throw something as many bully’s are life much worse yugioh could be a escape from the world he felt was all against him now he no longer has some of his favorite cards and the person talking could have just made everything worse for bill
I disagree. Overextending in a casual match after someone's conceded is an asshole move. Atp with no risks involved you don't respect or value anyone's time.
Let me brighten up the comments with this post. In high school we had a yugioh club at school and I met one of my best friends thru teaching to play yugioh at lunch’s. anyways I made the most obnoxious deck for one time it was a Ojama synchron stun deck that locked the board so they could not do a thing. Anyways after playing it for like a week I came into the club to see a big sign saying it was banned from the club on the door. He was like you fucking play that deck again and we are all kicking your ass. We are still friends 15 years later lol.
Mainly gonna comment on the last post cause all the others were pretty unambiguously cut and dry. My verdict: Not the Asshole. If we are to take everything said in the story at face value, then OP and his family went through all the proper channels to get Bill to stop bullying JR, and none of it worked. I can understand if this retaliatory action was their first step, but multiple attempts were made to get the proper authorities to act. As far as we're told, OP's family tried everything. I wouldn't be surprised if that partially contributed to OP not getting in trouble with his parents because they knew that they had tried resolving the issue properly beforehand. Me personally? Even as a child I understood that if I didn't want bad things to happen to my valuables, I wouldn't be bullying anyone, especially someone that had an older relative going to the same school. It may not have been the proper response, it may not have been the right response, but the school's refusal to do anything proactive made it the ONLY response. And while we're on the topic of the school, I'm not surprised at them banning trading card games entirely. Cause why treat the symptoms and not the root cause? /s Of course a school that didn't think bullying was a problem would look at a situation like this and say "It was those damned cards." At the risk of sounding dramatic, this decision implies that Bill's cards were more worthy of a disciplinary response than JR's safety.
Regarding the first story, i think y'all messed up by placing the responsibility on person A. Sure he fucked up the communication and he fucked up the compensation negotiation, whatever. The core issue, however, is that person B *borrowed* those cards. It doesn't matter whether A meant to lend them or give them away; B approached A with the pretext of borrowing the cards. B had no business ever selling them, and is entirely subject to full compensation for the value that he borrowed. It is just as unreasonable to subject A to the fluctuations of the market that he had zero intentions to participate in. When the cards changed hands is when their value is determined.
Did the cousin borrow the cards or were the cards only considered "borrowed" after money was involved? Because I have serious doubts that you would let someone borrow something and then never ask for it back. And I notice a distinct lack of him mentioning he asked for them back before the money got involved.
The second AITA would be my greatest line to broke up with someone. People, stay together to the ones that like you and your things as it is, don't be together with someone that h@te that you do X thing or that's trying to forcing you to change in any shape. The change must start with us and not pushing other people to do it. If you really think that X thing of your so call "special one" is annoying and irritating, maybe you are not with the right person for you
I'm only 2 seconds in but yeah about that gf: Record it. Shame her. If anyone threw my cards out I'd chase them for years until I had it back. She is a psychopath.
1:28 a) what the heck cards were they? Knowing the yugioh meta it sounds very unlikely 🤔 b) doesn’t sound like they were lending, it sounds like they were giving and then they changed their mind later on.
So glad my girlfriend doesnt care much for my hobby. She likes that it makes me happy and even buys me things about yugioh. But other than that shes not interested in it.
I think in the last scenario, I would’ve threatened Bill with destroying his cards rather than outright destroying them. At least, I’d show I’m not messing around but I’m not destroying his property either.
For the Jack and Jaden story, his friend could have been lying when he said he did not have any moves left and when he dropped his guard, Jack could have came back and defeated him.
9:20 25 or so years 😂I would be pissed if anyone touched or sold my cards even though I haven't touched them in so long they are still mine and hold memories so much sentimental value. I could say the same thing about other stuff too like my ps1 collection, gameboy color, ds/3ds, etc Bully deserved punishment and he dealt the punishment just a shame the rest of the school got that blanket ban, not the asshole
Who was the asshole and who was the victim in these crazy Yu-Gi-Oh stories? And what would you do in these situations? 🤔
Idk but women clearly hate nerdy men. That much I do know. So she was the AH and he was the victim.
You guys missed context with a bit of this. First story, how are you lending a binder to help someone play and keeping track of your cards?
Second one, did she never consider he wanted to keep them for sentimental value? Even if I stopped playing my cards still hold a lot of memories, I'd love to be able to look back on them 10 or 20 years down the line.
A few years ago I stopped playing Yugioh and ended up selling my collection piece by piece on Ebay, and now I wish I didn't
I have the Magic and Overpower (I'm old) cards from when I played them. I enjoy looking at them still.
The moment she threw in "childish hobby" and "children's card game" and immediately have to suspect that the only reason he had been looking to quit was to please her ego. She's exactly like Your Yugioh Channel's ex.
I got to be honest, as much good as Yugioh abridged did for the community, it still bears the unpardonable sin of branding the game as a "children's card game" when we all know this game is too complicated for most kids to grasp. It just gave people like this a label to bludgeon the hobby with.
"Unpardonable sin" lol. Bro. It's a self-aware joke. Take a deep breath and remember that you'll graduate 8th grade soon.

Second story is insane. Regardless of the collection aspect, selling your partner’s property is a huge red flag, particularly when there is a motive of just not liking their hobby.
People often forget: if it isn't their stuff, they shouldn't be touching it
@ Imagine having an old boss monster gifted from your best friend back in the day and then your gf sells it because she thinks it’s childish.
@constantinechase9382 Not from a friend but my grandmother gave me a Familiar Possessed Aussa shortly before she passed. Still have it all these years later and I would be devastated if it was gone.
@ I’m sorry for yoir loss. That’s a very moving story that highlights sentimentality and the significance something small can have. A card may not be just a card.

Second story sounds painfully like the guy didn't want to quit but was willing to give it up after his girl constantly demeaned him for his hobby.
"i threw away my girlfriends makeup to make her feel better about her self image. AITA,?"
Probably did her a favor. Most girls keep that shit way past the 6 month to 1 year expiration date after opening the product. (Obviously a joke, but seriously girls do need to know make up expires quickly.)
Im stealing this. Great point!! 😂

So let me get this straight. This bully assaulted, sexually harassed, attacked this kid for being disabled, and the school said "boys will be boys"
So, people want to advocate against bullying, yet teachers think it's a male exclusive concept to bully?
_What the hell_
That School must let a lot of crime occur, while also completely ignoring the students, while treating them like numbers to a 9 to 5 job.
Sexually harassed how?
Thats what schools always do, its either do nothing or punish both of them. They never actually investigate properly and protect the victim.
I have a fun YuGiOh story

I explained the cards had monitary value and panicked in the moment i saw someone try to steal them. He was really chill and understood, brought the other kid in after me and the situation was resolved as he never tried to steal again after that.
Do you think i reacted poorly?
Nope. You were justified.
That’s a perfectly fair and understandable response

Musta been Dumbledore.
Nope, confronting them is the best thing. Slim chance it could teach them a lesson to not do it again, too.
What I learned is, never let people borrow your stuff, it will either be stolen, taken, or given away. I had 4 Pokemon games stolen, as well as a box of rare Pokemon cards. My 360 disc drive was also broken by my friend. As an adult, nobody is getting my stuff but me period. People won't care about your things as well as you do, and its just not worth it. Don't care if it was a $10 card or $100 card, I will never again lend out anything of mine. I lost a good $500-$1000 in value for being nice, learn from my mistakes.
Same i dont let people borrow stuff from me,dont mine if they borrow my money but my stuff ?
Hell no
@@saigaryuu7565 Precisely. Money is fungible, collectibles are not
Alternative perspective.
If you don't trust someone to care for something you let them borrow, are they really someone worth being called a friend?
Regarding story #1, valuable or not, that was never a condition of the exchange. We can argue semantics all day, but it itself is weird to me to hand off property so haphazardly, never explicitly state conditions, wait years, and then suddenly want compensation.... It's just a crappy thing to do. My sisters husband did that nonsense after she passed. He wanted me to pay back money my sister GAVE to me months earlier because it was part of a loan they took out jointly. I never agreed to that. It was gifted to me. I was under no obligation.
No court in the world would side with the OP for being an opportunist.
Nah on God second story is insane. If someone sold my yugioh cards without my permission, they’re catching an elbow to the nose. On God bro
And you be having a fun time in jail explaining how you beat your girlfriend over cards. You wouldn't have a good time. Keep being the big man though.
@ I like how you said “girlfriend” when I clearly said, “someone” but go on
Thing is about the remote duel with your friend couldn’t his friend just…. surrender? I mean if you have nothing left you could just say “I have nothing so I will concede” I don’t see anything wrong with that. If you don’t surrender and your opponent prepares for the worst then I don’t think you should complain.
@slenderbear2234 Yeah, that's true, but some player prefer to finish the match because they don't like to surrender as they feel annoyed at not finishing the duel. Heck, I remember being yelled at in my first ever locals match due to surrendering and this year's ago.
I really feel for that guy in the second story. Having your cards lost, destroyed, stolen, or in this case sold off, is such a terrible feeling. Especially if those cards were with you when you were a child. I had a friend who got his cards thrown out by his mom two years ago while she was cleaning his room (we were 22 at the time, idk why she was touching his stuff), one of which was a ghost rare Blue-Eyes, and the pain is still with both of us to this very day.
It's never okay to sell or throw out someone else's property without their consent regardless of how you feel about their "childish hobby". If anything happened to my collection I would be devastated. Some of those cards I've had since I was 13, some were given to me by friends I may never see again, and if someone i loved and trusted sold those off i would be unspeakably livid. My heart goes out to that guy
I stopped playing with a 'friend' because he would scoop and immediately want to start a new match if he's going to lose.
When he's winning, we play to the end. But the 1/10 times I am going to win, he doesn't play to the end and wants to start a new match. I never got to actually win against him.
Once day I just decided to stop playing with him. And now its been years since we've talked.
Good riddance. Play duesl out to the end until it's a 100% guarantee the game is done. Absolutely poor sport.
by the end of the video the editor got tired and only censored half the assholes that were said. Let's hope next time he's alseep and censors none.
Second story was a pretty clear AH thing to do. Like the commenters said: you sold property that wasn't yours. Regardless of your reasons or views on his hobby, that's still his property. You do not get to decide what should be done with it without discussing it with him first and getting his approval.
Third story: Stalling to make the game last longer when you know you have it on lock is an AH thing to do. Stalling to ENSURE you get the lock is not. That's just a viable strategy. It's a very thin line between the two, because you might not know when you've crossed that exact treshold. If you feel like you've got the game locked and your bases are guarded from any comeback your opponent might attempt, you should probably try to swing for game at that point. The name of the game here is intent and only the OP knows what his intent was.
9:20 _After a period of 25 or so years you sell your cards_
I feel called out. Yet simultaneously, they're still sitting in a cigar box in penny sleeves. You don't get it, the La-Jinn beatdown strat is _tight_ ; I'm never selling my middle school deck.
I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh as often irl due to work (Trying to get into it), but I still buy and keep the physical cards and buy new or extra copies of cards for my current decks.
14:00 i thought we were talking about Paul for a moment :)
14:39 I think Jaden was just salty for losing and wanted a reason to be mad
Don't mess with Family
1. Honestly both sides are at fault here. OP definitely lost interest in those cards if he didn't ask for them back earlier, so I think that's kinda the stopping point there. But the friend is also kind of an asshole in this situation No way a guy in his position doesn't know the value of the cards he's taking and he took advantage of OP in the first place...though whether it was intentional or not is another matter. Honestly, OP isn't owed anything technically and I would rule in the friend's favor. But I think a cool friend would feel a bit guilty and try to make it right somehow in good faith. Whether it's a minor reimbursement (DEFINITELY NOT the full 3k, that's absurd), or however they can settle the matter more amicably. But again, this friend DEFINITELY doesn't owe 3k.
2. Yeah. OP is definitely at fault. There is never a reason to sell someone else's stuff without their permission. Even if you mean well, it's an AWFUL thing to do, you have no idea how much sentimental value anything can have.
3. At first, this one seems like it could go either way to me, but then I remembered that scooping is a thing. I don't fault OP for playing Yugioh the way Yugioh was meant to be played, but at first, I was thinking that he was just playing solitaire Yugioh in a casual game and that seemed kind of unnecessary and was agreeing with Jack.... Clearly Jaden was frustrated or dealing with something and OP wasn't reading the room well. But then I remembered at any point, he could have just picked up his cards, so that's kind of on him for not just surrendering formally if he can't do anything.
4. Everybody's at fault here with no doubt. The torture the cousin was going through was too much and revenge on Bill was absolutely warranted. But that was a step too far honestly. Getting him back in a similar manner makes more sense. Embarrass him, don't destroy his shit. Especially shit that had nothing to do with anything. And Bill doesn't learn anything since there's no association. It solves nothing. But all that said...OP was a kid, so I'm not gonna judge them for it. xD They were a vengeful little kid who was just trying to protect JR, and I can't be TOO upset with that. Alternative would be to just do to him what he was doing to you. Freakin' pants the kid and get a good laugh about it~
Not only would I be mad, I would genuinely cry.
😂 i will say.... for the dude giving in and getting annoyed...for all that. You can lay your hand on yiur deck and give up. Yes it will take away the final hit from your opponent but you also clearly weren't in the head space for a game end.
I was stabbed in the throat by someone i considered a friend for around 300$ watch who you let around you
If anyone ever threw away my cards I think it would be time to throw them away
0:23 missed one lol
Edit: There are more but I'm too lazy to point them out
That life point sound effect is working overtime in this video good lord
Story three. Op is the A-hole 100% just of disrespecting his friend’s word, their time, and the time of the friends around. That’s all I can say with a cool head for story 3 the rest has be far more heated.
I love that the life point sound effect has the same sylibles as 'Asshole'. I'm going to hear that every time that sound effect is used for the rest of my life.
Thanks for mixing it up and giving us something spicy!
Nah, the guy in the remote duel IS the a-hole. If you're in a friendly duel with a friend and they say, "Hey, there's nothing I can do you can swing for game." That's exactly what you do, if they do have something they can do and LIED then THEY are the a-hole. So yeah, dragging out a friendly duel does make you a-hole.
Legally, if they said “I don’t have any response” and you go to BP in good faith and you attack, would that be considered a violation of misrepresentation of the gamestate?
i would disagree, as stated it was an extra procaution to make sure they had the game in the bag
The friend who said they have nothing and to swing for game could have just as easily gone "I scoop, next game", if you aren't scooping, you are probably looking for a point to disrupt your opponent to make a comeback, and if that's the case, you are signing up for getting combo'd on again.
@@DualSwordBesken i have had people get mad about me scooping all the time.
@professorchance8515 Are you scooping when the game is basically over or scooping just because things took a turn in your opponent's favor?
If you are dead on board and you have no outs in hand, you are in your right to scoop and the people getting mad are the assholes.
If you are in the middle of the game and your boss monster gets outed and you scoop to that despite having other monsters on field or interaction still available to you, then I would say you are the problem. I had a friend in college I played Magic with and he would do that a lot, it'd be like turn 4, he'd have out a creature that gets killed while his opponent has almost nothing themselves and he'd scoop. It took a very aggressive talking to from one of the other players to get him to even start seeing the issue.
So it's not just about whether to scoop or not to scoop, it's knowing when. The person in the post was basically acknowledging they were dead on board, the onus is on them to scoop. If they don't want to scoop at dead on board then they accept that more cards will be played.
I had my god card stolen back in the day.
Everyone who played knew who took it.
The people in the office offered to ban the game.
I asked what about my card. they said that because they had no proof either way
they wouldn't even ask the other person.
I just told them not to proceed because it wouldn't help me anyway.
Story 1: Man, money does really corrupt people huh. From giving his card in good will to help his cousin succeed to come back some years after to reclaim said card (well, straight up money) without any prior notice because of, basically greed.
Story 2:I love that if we change the matter, more people would relate to the boyfriend. But because it's just some kids card game if fair game for anyone.
Story 3: I'm surprised that "Jaden" was THAT upset about a game. I know that Yugioh can be really taxing depending of the "level" of play, but still, to argue about some over-extend and then just leave? It makes me wonder, did he got a really bad day? a bad streak of loses? Did something happened previously during that day? I've been in a similar situation before with a friend, but we reach that point after, i don't know, 7-8 straight loses? but we just end up blaming the game, that it's bullshit and so, not being angry at each other.
Story 4: I got bullied in primary school. I knew that they had Yugioh as we play it together (part of the bullying was finding ways to make me lose and if I complained, I wouldn't be able to play with other kids) and I NEVER thought of doing that. I always thought of punching them but never to destroy their belongings (Probably because I was raised in a way that I respected anyone's belongings, specially mines) But I kind of understand that the person writing this felt hand tied in a corner about the situation. There was betterer solutions, like changing the boys to another school (something I should've done) I understand, cannot respect it but I also can't blame him for doing it.
there’s a grey area in DV, very small. she found that spot
1st story yes i would say OP is the asshole, they saw the dollar signs AFTER a couple years
Man for that 3rd story, SCOOP lmfao. If you're gonna give them the satisfaction of ending you, you're giving them the right to do it as they please. If you had no options and wanted the game to just be over, then just scoop lol.
I looked into the og post, and the person going by Jack stated in the comments that the player will not surrender no matter what, due to his "code." When he asked him about it after the match.
AND in my opinion, it sounds like this person is known for this.
If I’m definitely going to lose I scoop. Even in a friendly game. There’s just no point. However if there’s a shred of hope I will play it out.
"Possession is 9/10ths of the law" means if you have something on you that you shouldn't and you say it's not yours...you're getting in trouble for it. The way you're saying it is if I steal something from you, since it's in my possession, it's mine and I can't get in trouble for having it. I don't know why people use the phrase that way...
10:04 legendary I got a divorce over yugioh ringing a bell
I love that you guys and Farfa had the same idea at the same time 😂
13:27 why didn’t the friend just scoop? If you ain’t scooping it’s fair for your opponent to keep playing because they can’t see all your cards.
Hockey Mask Time.
Story 1: the cards still belong to OP as OP says to “borrow” making it still OPS property making it illegal for person B to sell making person B liable and should be required to pay for the damages that happens next.
If you know you’re about to lose and nothing can be done, why not just scoop?
For the first one, I doubt he had any cards that were actually even worth what he thought. If he was so confident in their pricing he would've mentioned, he would have said "I gave hima 1st Ed LOB Blue-Eyes" or something, thrown at least 1 flagship card in there to give us an idea. He's just claiming they were worth a lot, the other BS i find, is he alludes to these cards being very old and what sounds to me like some of the earliest cards in Yu-Gi-Oh's life, even 7 years ago (2018) i can't think of more than MAYBE 1 or 2 outliers that would be COMPETITEVLY valuable from that era, any old card like that would have been meta was obviously super banned at this point. Maybe IO was still around then? again, i can't think of that many cards that would have been old and useful as meta cards even 7 years ago from those early sets. So I don't see why someone playing competivley would want these cards since they are just binder eye-candy and not much more...
1st Story: Both are the assholes. A only started to care for the cards because they went up in value. However person B still sold stuff he wasn't allowed to sell. Did A deserve full price? No, but B should have at least split the money with him.
2nd Story: Not much to say. Girl is absolutely insane and I hope this was the wake up call for him. She is lucky she didn't have to buy his collection back for him (I wouldn't be as lenient).
3rd Story: Overkills are extremely rare. If your opponent doesn't give up you *have* to go the extra mile to be sure, they can have a surprise trap, or even a simple Battle Fader in hand to survive this round and make a comeback. If you seriously want the game to end because you have a *0%* chance to win this, just give up, easy as that.
4th Story: Yes he is a asshole, but I still approve.
12:47 does he have any other cards out, what format is it and how many cards in hand
....WTF, WOMAN?! YEAH NO, I'M CONVINCED NOW THAT WOMEN LITERALLY JUST CARE ABOUT THEIR IMAGE EVEN IF THEY HAVE A BOYFRIEND
For the first one, the cousin should have returned them, I can't believe this is even up for debate.
Why
If my girl sold my cards, she’d be single before exodia can drop your life points to 0
The 1st story is obviously fake, at least most the story is being exaggerated.
Weird how there was one uncensored word in there and the rest were censored.
Yugioh can be an addiction.
"Jarvis, I'm low on karma"
"Jarvis, posting about floodgate bad in r/masterduel didnt gave me enough karma"
I'd love to see more of this.
I completely agree with your guys' takes on these scenarios!
Yes. With the third one.
18:40 there are better ways to resolve a conflict all he did was make that kid who could have been going throw something as many bully’s are life much worse yugioh could be a escape from the world he felt was all against him now he no longer has some of his favorite cards and the person talking could have just made everything worse for bill
dragging out duels in master duel is a pain in the ass because you can't get credit for dailies if you leave.
massive difference between dragging out a duel IRL or online client. Also dailies for match among friends is not even up to debate.
I disagree. Overextending in a casual match after someone's conceded is an asshole move. Atp with no risks involved you don't respect or value anyone's time.
He didn't concede.
Love this video! Please do some more Reddit Judgment
Man and I thought people in my locals were crazy.
Great video! I hope there’s another episode
People need to go to the shadow realm 😡
Yeah, either that or having their soul taken by The Seal of Orichalcos.
Let me brighten up the comments with this post. In high school we had a yugioh club at school and I met one of my best friends thru teaching to play yugioh at lunch’s. anyways I made the most obnoxious deck for one time it was a Ojama synchron stun deck that locked the board so they could not do a thing. Anyways after playing it for like a week I came into the club to see a big sign saying it was banned from the club on the door. He was like you fucking play that deck again and we are all kicking your ass. We are still friends 15 years later lol.
Mainly gonna comment on the last post cause all the others were pretty unambiguously cut and dry.
My verdict: Not the Asshole.
If we are to take everything said in the story at face value, then OP and his family went through all the proper channels to get Bill to stop bullying JR, and none of it worked. I can understand if this retaliatory action was their first step, but multiple attempts were made to get the proper authorities to act. As far as we're told, OP's family tried everything. I wouldn't be surprised if that partially contributed to OP not getting in trouble with his parents because they knew that they had tried resolving the issue properly beforehand.
Me personally? Even as a child I understood that if I didn't want bad things to happen to my valuables, I wouldn't be bullying anyone, especially someone that had an older relative going to the same school.
It may not have been the proper response, it may not have been the right response, but the school's refusal to do anything proactive made it the ONLY response. And while we're on the topic of the school, I'm not surprised at them banning trading card games entirely. Cause why treat the symptoms and not the root cause? /s Of course a school that didn't think bullying was a problem would look at a situation like this and say "It was those damned cards." At the risk of sounding dramatic, this decision implies that Bill's cards were more worthy of a disciplinary response than JR's safety.
Bro quit😂
Everyone wants to be the councel smh
Regarding the first story, i think y'all messed up by placing the responsibility on person A. Sure he fucked up the communication and he fucked up the compensation negotiation, whatever. The core issue, however, is that person B *borrowed* those cards. It doesn't matter whether A meant to lend them or give them away; B approached A with the pretext of borrowing the cards. B had no business ever selling them, and is entirely subject to full compensation for the value that he borrowed. It is just as unreasonable to subject A to the fluctuations of the market that he had zero intentions to participate in. When the cards changed hands is when their value is determined.
Did the cousin borrow the cards or were the cards only considered "borrowed" after money was involved? Because I have serious doubts that you would let someone borrow something and then never ask for it back.
And I notice a distinct lack of him mentioning he asked for them back before the money got involved.
16:00 award for most fake story ever
The first one sounds completely made up lol.
I said the same thing. Its clearly a casual exaggerating.
Whats the background music that starts playing at around the 5:19 mark? Please can someone tell me? I want to listen to it.
You forgot to bleep one of the a-holes in the very beginning
I liked this. You guys should do something like this again.
This will be good thank you!
Can bro use Exchange of the Spirit to get his cards back?
17:18 I have 8 blue eyes and exota and Bandai exota suck it bill
Will of the Pod of Greed
The second AITA would be my greatest line to broke up with someone. People, stay together to the ones that like you and your things as it is, don't be together with someone that h@te that you do X thing or that's trying to forcing you to change in any shape. The change must start with us and not pushing other people to do it. If you really think that X thing of your so call "special one" is annoying and irritating, maybe you are not with the right person for you
Alex and Alec look exactly alike.
They are biological twins
@walrus4143 how did you know that?
@@NelsonDolan if you watched any of their older videos they say that they are twins
@@walrus4143 fair enough
I'm only 2 seconds in but yeah about that gf: Record it. Shame her. If anyone threw my cards out I'd chase them for years until I had it back. She is a psychopath.
12:05 I’m named jack and I know someone named Jaden it can be there real names
Wait, there's two of them??
The girl not only sold someone else’s property, she then turned around and spent the money she got from selling it…this is just blatant theft
1:28
a) what the heck cards were they? Knowing the yugioh meta it sounds very unlikely 🤔
b) doesn’t sound like they were lending, it sounds like they were giving and then they changed their mind later on.
Its clearly a lie/exaggerating by a casual
So glad my girlfriend doesnt care much for my hobby. She likes that it makes me happy and even buys me things about yugioh. But other than that shes not interested in it.
I think in the last scenario, I would’ve threatened Bill with destroying his cards rather than outright destroying them. At least, I’d show I’m not messing around but I’m not destroying his property either.
For the Jack and Jaden story, his friend could have been lying when he said he did not have any moves left and when he dropped his guard, Jack could have came back and defeated him.
Mirror force.
Yes, you are.
9:20 25 or so years 😂I would be pissed if anyone touched or sold my cards even though I haven't touched them in so long they are still mine and hold memories so much sentimental value. I could say the same thing about other stuff too like my ps1 collection, gameboy color, ds/3ds, etc
Bully deserved punishment and he dealt the punishment just a shame the rest of the school got that blanket ban, not the asshole
