going out of my way to mark the posts would defeat the point i'm trying to make

-

i called the mods out on an unfair/preferential application of this site's rules

a veteran mod then replied that, nope, things are just and everything is pursued with equal zeal

so i then gave him (and others on the staff) the opportunity to prove so and - guess what - to absolutely nobody's surprise, what i (and many, many others have as well) called them out on turned out to be entirely true

their priorities are jacked

their standards are inconsistent

and their judgment is wholly unfair

-

and you keep citing this "unpaid volunteers" and "Volunteer Moderators" bullshit as if it means anything, yet very conveniently ignore (for some reason) that those very same "unpaid volunteers" locked those topics up with an almost unprecedented feverish pace and enthusiasm

Little spoiler alert, there were probably many posts in that topic being reported, especially knowing Jo and other people in that topic. Because they were reported, the mods looked into. Then they locked it because the conversation was getting out of hand. I know this because this is quite literally how the mods describe most topics that they end up locking, and they have been consistent in stating that's why they lock topics, and because the nature of how the moderator queues works implies that is the most likely situation.

Instead of viewing the issue holistically and applying occam's razor, you have prejudged the situation to be something it almost certainly isn't. But that's your perogative, and that's why everyone is mocking you. You have an irrational grudge against authority figures. You will apply whatever the most conveniently derogative interpretation of events you can to their behavior. It's a sickness of the mind, but your fear of cognitive dissonance and insecurity will make you blind to this. After I post this, you'll probably keep iterating the same claims without providing additional context or evidence to support it. I understand why you'll do that, but that is no real comfort to me. So with this, I will say, good luck with your biases and shut the fuck up.

thanks for proving what we all already knew, alucard and the rest of the staff

You don't want the "racist" posts to disappear, you want to feel indignant about the literally least impactful "authority" in existence--Volunteer Moderators. If you did, you would have taken the basic steps necessary for them to be reviewed. You have instead invented a new paradigm where nothing will be done about the thing you want to complain about so you can continue to complain about it. You have not demonstrated any bias or discrimination with this topic, you have demonstrated an inability to reform your behavior to meet the demands of the community you reside within. This does not make you smart or virtuous, this makes you immature.

Evidence implies something has existed and that this is the theoretical proof that supports that claim, if it didn't exist there would be no proof of it

Yet we have numbers that exist for the phenomena that has already existed and is thus described - 0's and 1's aren't born out of thin air

descriptions and words are always, ALWAYS going to be late to the party

Evidence does not presuppose the existence of something beyond what it can demonstrate. Math can only be demonstrated to exist, in evidence, in the presence of human reasoning, by the very definition of what math is--human interpretation of physical phenomena. Math is NOT universal. Consider this:

We can consider the Big Bang. The first half second afterwards is a super-dense, super-hot mass of ions only. Eventually, in a timeframe of seconds, the first ions would fuse into the first atoms. Tell me, since mathematics is extant beyond human interpretation, does mathematic dictate if that is even a atom, or if it is merely the multiple ions? When the atoms fuse in a helium atom, are they two atoms together, or are they one atom? Tell me, is the mathematics the cause of the particle wave form, or a description of it? If it is a description, then is it the universe describing the probability wave of the quantum particle, or is it humans interpeting the behavior of the probability wave linguistically? If it is the universe describing it, then can you guarantee that, for instance, an alien being with fourth or fifth dimensional awareness (Assuming some iteration of String-Theory or Multi-World theory is correct) would view these phenomena in the same way? It has humans that define these definitions by necessity, not the universe. We have to make the distinctions because our ability to perceive reality is inherently limited by our senses.

The universe does not need mathematics to exist. "Concepts" are a creation of humans to describe reality. The distinction of "one" does not exist in quantum physics. There is no evidence that, for instance, the universe has any organization relating to "integers" at all at a foundational level. Sub-quantum particles exist as gradient energy values within a probability.

The prima facie of of mathematics arrives upon the abstraction of human reasoning, utilizing the same conceptualization and vehicles of information we use for language. Does the word "the" exist independent of the human conceptualization as well? Do all abstract ideas exist before humans consider them? if so, what evidence of their existence exists? Does the unicorn exist before the Big Bang occurs? Or does it exist when it is first conceptualized? Or does it exist when the first one-horned "horse" was born? If all possible concepts, like Math, that humans can abstract exist at the start of the universe, then all things exist. If all can be argued to exist, than what is the linguistic value of the word "extant"? The very concept of mathematics as a type of prima facie is inherently unteneable upon any serious analysis.

FrankJaegr posted...

It did lol just like every single discovery made

0 as a concept has always existed and likewise 1 has always existed

we just decided to call it 1 and 0

at some point it gets ridiculous with theorems thus the need for the moniker - I guess all that stuff is man made

language is different, thats not universal

But being (1) and not being (0) IS universal

This is pretty much the exact reasoning of the World of Forms from the Plato school and the ancient Greeks. Which, considering how there's been two and a half millenia of philosophers showing the inherent absurdity of such beliefs, is not a good thing. To say a thing exists without the context of the evidence that actually infers its existence is about as vigorous a logic as saying the "All things exist right now if they could potentially exist in the future".

the reason so many on this site hate the moderation staff is cause of your guys' jacked priorities and inconsistent standards

i guess protecting a female user whose entire m.o. is nothing but melting down and cleavage selfies is way higher on the totem pole than genuine dog whistle shit like proclaiming "alm", for instance

How are they "protecting" her?

The closed topic was clearly going in extremely toxic and unproductive directions, and was related to a topic in explicit details about a specific porn video. She's also currently warned for, I presume, her posts in that porn topic

"Protected" lmao. So many of you legitimately act like incels on this board when it comes to the CEgals without even realizing it. "Warned" topics are usually moderated in general because they are a source of harassment.

Jo is wild. I used to have her blocked because I found her annoying sometimes (Mostly because she can't express an opinion without being excessively antagonistic and dramatic. Might have a real case of histrionic disorder going on there tbh), but now I keep her unblocked just because how much she wild outs. Her positions aren't, like, always wrong in a foundational way, but the way she approaches the discussion is just fascinating.

All life is equal. Its the crime of Christianity and social Darwinism that we value ourselves so highly. And actually once you no longer put yourself above the birds or dogs, Ive seemed to appreciate non human life more. Humanity has always justified crime on the basis of bigger brains. Whether its when black slaves were okay because they were uncivilized or the meat industry, we will always justify horror out of our own person convenience.

im also not vegan yet, its not an easy way to live so Im not saying Im above this either. I have my own failures in this regard. But we should at least acknowledge that we need to improve as humans. That starts with no longer treating ourselves as superior to other creatures living on earth

You think Christianity made humans value themselves over animals? Humans were extincting animals before organized religion even existed. Self-preservation is a natural result of evolution, and it results in higher complexity organisms making necessary value assessments about itself (Or its offspring) in comparison to others, whether consciously or not. There is no organism on the planet that is both capable of neurological complexity and also equally values other species to itself. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

IBJJF is legitimate. The Masters tournaments are for older people, however. They have 5 year-interval brackets (30-35, 35-40, 40-45, 45-50, ect.). You can compete in the standard Adult tournament (This is the main tournament that the highest competitors usually compete at) or any younger Master bracket if you want, but you must at least be at the minimum age for a Masters' bracket (If I remember correctly). Then they are of course divided into different weight classes, and gi vs. no-gi.

and they arrested the father for blocking the road except he was standing on the sidewalk.

I would have been okay with them arresting the father for that if we didn't literally have video showing him obeying the officer's order to park the car. Literally "Damned if you do, Damned if you don't". Officer just wanted to bully someone because they were trying to hold him accountable.

Like, listen, rolling up your window during a traffic stop? Not smart, because it is slightly suspicious. The cop has to deescalate that immediately once the dude gets out of the car and honestly admits he was just nervous, though. Furthermore, if you're an officer, there's no reason to initially approach the stop with that much intensity anyways. You are literally making people more panicky by approaching a speeding violation like you're ready to take them down at a moments notice.

legendarylemur posted...

Except there have been cases where Master Peace's 2950 attack has come up as an inherent strength and a flaw (it can run over 2500-2800 boss mons, which was common at the time, but sometimes it would run into a situation where it can't run over something 3000). But attack points becoming superfluous was a result of effects becoming stronger, not because there are too many zeroes lmfao.

There is no need to complicate the arithmetic beyond the bare minimum. Many people legitimately struggle with doing math in their head. Thinking otherwise is such ridiculous non-inclusivity in a decade of modern board game design that's proven that smaller numbers are indeed less intimidating for some people. The fact that the the attack and defense numbers sometimes go to three effective digits literally just makes it that much worse. A game like MTG is far more streamlined in that, it it wants to deal with pseudo-tiebreakers and things of that nature, it just has clear keywords that are more thematically integrated and tactically interesting (First Strike, Deathtouch, ect), while keeping the numbers as simple one (Or rarely two) digit intervals.

Using what are essentially decimal values (As the effective digits for 95% of creatures is two, the effective digits for LP starts at two, a 2950 AP creature in game-logic is essentially a 29.5 AP after removing superfluous digits) is basically just using the Achilles Paradox as a piece of game design. It should be obcious to see that every step down this ladder makes the math in the game worse--A 2975 AP creature, a 2987 AP creature, a 2993 AP creature. Each step needlessly complicates the math for increasingly more narrow benefits. Luckily they've mostly avoided going further than xx50 creatures, but they still have cards like Number S39" Utopia Prime with an amazing 2510 AP. Awesome.

The problem is MTG players is that they literally want every other TCG to be Magic without giving other TCGs a try. I've tried literally everything, and I don't see the fucking fuss about having to turn everything into a mid-tier TCG at best.

MTG isn't perfect, but they've shown a lot of interest in improving their game design prinicples over the decades. These includes critical elements like:

High Theme-Mechanic integration. The art and lore of a card informs the mechanics it has, and the mechanics inform us of the nature of the entity. Tell me, what is Crystron Halqifibrax? Is it sentient? Does it have personality traits? What role does it play in the world of YGO? How does it behave? What kind of allegiances or relationships does it have the social systems and people that populate the game world? Because I can look at a MTG card and often discern many, or all, of this information by the card alone, as long as I have some solid foundation on the world of MTG and the card set it was released in.

By comparison, YGO has almost no theme aside from the cartoonish, sometimes so-bad-it's-good animes for it. None of these cards are relatable. Often times they are quite literally inscrutable. They are just monsters that you play to beat up other monsters. This is the most phoned-in way of building a deep and complex board game by the very nature that humans are narrative in nature. When I spend a game building up Liliana's planewalker card, throwing out and reusing undead creature creatures from my graveyard, sacrificing other cards just to keep the self-destructive cycle going, only to finally pop her planeswalker ultimate to flood the field with an unstoppable horde of zombies that over-run Jayce's mages, that tells a story. When I use a pendulum summon to special summon a union monster to special summon an XY summon to search my deck for a union summon to search my deck to blah blah blah. It's just rote mechanics. It's utterly unrelatable.

Clarity of play: As much information is made as easily parsed as possible. The card's color informs me of the types of cards my opponent might be playing to compliment it. The cards cost is color coded and listed symbolically, so I can easily ascertain it's cost even upside down. The keywords are one word effects that succintly describe dozens of different unique effects while taking up little card space--In short time this becomes very easy to comprehend while upside down. The cards rarity symbols tells me an approximation of the cards power, which is easily parseable upside down. The numbers are almost always single digit integers to streamline readability as well as arithmetic. The cards are designed with actual thought towards their readability and ease of play. While effects can be difficult to understand, the cards are written following a very specific style guide to make learning how to understand effect text consistent across all cards, including the games use of specitic abbreviations to maximize text box space to allow the font to be written at their ideal font size whenever possible.

Competitive meta development and balance: The developers understand that competitive play is one of the pillars of the game's health, and frequently make changes to the ban list to keep the game active. Aside from the most recent debacles with Secret Liar cards (Seriously, wtf), they have been utterly vigilant in maintaining the competitive scene compared to nearly any other game developer aside from, maybe, Riot Games. Not only that, but the design of the different formats mean tbat each set is constantly seeing cards enter and, often, leave eligibility in order to drive changes to the meta and style of play.

Good art: MTG hires phenomenal card artists that produce incredible, complex, and dense art that is good enough to be appreciated outside of the context of the game. Go watch Rhystic Studies break down some art that is competent on a scale that goes far beyond cartoony depictions. YGO shits out competent but simple anime-cartoon monsters, draped in gaudy colors flung about at whim, with no typically no backgrounds whatsoever aside from flashy lights. Yeesh.

I'll also add, there was a guy named Kohdok? He runs like a TCG video essay channel on Youtube. He's a guy who's tried far more TCGs than I ever have, and the way he talks about YGO is very different, even tho he admits he's not a fan. He had legitimate complaints and legitimate defenses that I've parroted myself. The point is, if you want to actually criticize something, try it out first. Sure the meta is in shambles right now, but that's mostly on COVID and Konami's reluctance to ban cards that have not seen physical tournament play

I played YGO casually for years before I switched to MTG (Then left MTG because TCG just isn't a model that I can really enjoy). It is not a good game. It has foundational flaws that cannot be fixed at this point without a total reboot (Which will never happen).

The difference between the readability and clarity of YGO! compared to MTG is night and day. It feels like most competitive cards are just three different, slightly related effects (Usually some form of summoning other shit from all over the place) smashed into one long paragraph. It fucking hurts to look at.

Meanwhile, MTG can stack a bunch of effects, but will mitigate the readability issues by:

1. Creating Keywords that are universally understood to do a specific thing--Trample causes damage overflow, flying can bypass most defenders, ect.
2. Separating different, unrelated effects from each other with fucking paragraphs. Doesn't take a genius to realize breaking up a block of text helps the readability.
3. Uses about double the amount of card space to actual provide card effect text that is easily readable.
4. Uses a universal system for displaying the cost of activating a card effect in abbreviated form, so opposing players can determine at a glance how much mana or other variables its user would need to activate it.
5. Uses reasonable, easily parsed numbers (nearly all the time) instead of ridiculously inflated attack and defense powers in the thousands which serve no functional gameplay purpose.

YGO! annoys the me quite a lot, specifically how successful it is despite such poor game design principles, shitty card art, worthless lore, poor visual design, and awful balance. Frankly, even the Pokemon Card game accomplishes more with less.
