A Hero's Farewell

Dueling's lost it's appeal to me.

Over the past few weeks, I've been feeling a sense of dullness when it comes to playing this game I've come to love so much. (More than I've loved any game ever)

::Monkey59::
It makes me so sad to have to write this, but I feel like it's just getting painful to play now, as it's time and time again I'm sacked horrendously, called a failure of the game, as I've grown alot as a duelist over the past few years and yet I'm playing same old deck, same old strategies, and I can't prove I'm right for playing it that way.
(I'm not directing this at you Placido, this is in general. Although I admit, our duels have helped me come to this realization.)

My dueling with many duelists recently made me angry, as I've been sacked. Hard. (Partly because I lose my cool and make reckless moves that ruin me. Not saying I'm absolutely terrible, but I'm making rookie mistakes.)
I only get angry when I lose when I'm only playing to win. And thats not the way ANY duelist should be playing. It's sick to say, but a lot of duelists get sucked into the desire to win more so than having fun.
I've never desired to play just to win, but with my skill increasing as the more I play the game (NOT SAYING I'M THE MOST SKILLED DUELIST IN THE WORLD @N/Lethal)
(BTW, you guys are overly judgmental. You crash on anyone trying something outside of the box [or at least that's the way you make it appear.] and it's one of my peeves to see you guys saying I suck at this game [no matter how much I do/don't] [although sometimes it agitates me just talking to you about anything YGO-related] and whatnot, as that's not something you should be saying to anyone, let alone me. [Mostly directed at Lethal. Mostly.]) ::Monkey7::

(Or maybe I've just grown to dislike talking to you guys. I don't know.) ::Monkey23::

I'll probably be back within a few weeks to a month. I'll come back when dueling is back to the way it was for me not so long ago. Exciting, adrenaline & blood-pumping. Fun. (Laugh all you want you soul-sucking fun-less duelists, I actually played the game to enjoy it. Hence my temporary leave.)

Unfortunately, I'm just not feeling it anymore. It's depressing to say, as I'm sure it would be for any duelist to say. However the fact remains. I'm just not having fun anymore. I'm leaving, and I hope that my passion for the game brings me back like it did not too many years ago.

I appreciate all the fun I've had around here, the exciting duels and some fun time posting, I'll be back sooner or later. Not leaving forever, just a temporary absence to try to sort out my feelings for YGO. DA will be in my heart, and I'll be back and ready for some dueling hopefully.
Thank you all for the great times and I'll cya round the duelin.
::Monkey9::

(I forfeit any duels I have yet to play in any tournament/war/whatever I'm in. If I won something, great, just throw it on my profile and I'll enjoy it when I get back, if not, meh.)

That Alice post just totally ruined the OP.

Anyway, I didn't know you, but if you're looking into possibly getting into a new game, I play MTG almost as much as I play YGO (although, not as much over the last month). If you're ever fine with playing something new, I can help you out with that.

If I wanted to play something new, I'd probably get into Cardfight Vanguard, but there's more a chance of that than me going back into MTG, although personally I found the game to be rather dull relatively quick.

I'll probably just play World of Warcraft until I get the urge to come back to YGO.

mehhh, i feel like a sad panda, but hey wait right there, youre like the 4th person i kick from YGO ROFLOLMAO
anyway goodbye and hope to see ya around again

Later ehero, see you around bro

Oh man Well since i cant do anything i gotta say cya bro I hope to see you back :D

You should reconsider. Now isn't the time to leave the game if you intend to play later down the road. Take it from me, you don't want to come back to this in the middle of a format like I did recently, you'll spend the rest of the format catching up only to have it change by the time you do.

Hey, hero, try with few girls :D

like you know, ur the baws, duel and 3-4 girls watch your back there lol, you lose but they praise you cuz you didn't lose (you got 3-4 chicks there in your room, there is no duel that can make you a loser hahahah), you only didn't want to win, the guy that is called your opponent is probably a nerd with no experience outside the house so yea, you left something for him too, he will be more excited for winning than you anyway

^i think this is the dream most guys have when playing yugimonz.

Well that sucks ._.

You got to learn how to want to win and have fun at the same time :/

Well hope you get the urge to duelagain soon, intill then, later dude.

Placido, I'm not quitting permanently, just until I get my will to duel back >_>
Heck, when I come back you're the first person I'm challenging. -_-

and I doubt I'll be coming in the middle of the format, it'll probably be about a month into it at the most. Hopefully. I haven't known myself to last longer than a few months when I quit YGO.
(I quit at some point during 8th grade, seeing as how there was noone else IRL to play with, but a few months later I found online dueling and got hooked.)
I might even be back in a week or two. I'm an addict when I play anything, YGO not being an exception, I just want some time to mull over my feelings about it. But, I'm not coming back to YGO until I'm done.

and Mim, it's never that I've not wanted to win. Obviously, that's the point of ANY game.
However, I have personally believe that dueling should be more about having a blast, win or lose, and winning is just an objective.
But I've found more and more recently that my dueling has become less and less fun and more so focused on winning. It's sucked all the fun out of it and I'm just taking a break to come back later on with a better mindset on dueling.

Thanks for all the support you guys :D

Latter nigga.

peace out bro

Later Ehero

Be hoping to see you soon !

I ordered a YGO card online in the mail like two weeks ago.
I just got it today. I opened it up and got my first and only Skyscraper.

A few hours of watching episodes of Season 1 GX and the sudden realization that I would need a life to be able to drop YGO to do anything else, and I'm back babeh.

I was gone for so long eh?
I overestimated my ability to drop this game by about 6 days to a month :S
lol


Also, Placido, I want that rematch. :I

whats up with all the mods coming back when they leave :I

._.
Even though sooner meant 24 hours and a few hours worth of GX episodes, I'm back. >_>

Not expecting a whole welcoming back party (at all, since I've only dropped it for one flipping day before crumbling at the sight of a RL YGO I've wanted for a long time), but jeez. -_-

LOL
