Casual Tournament. Round 2!

[Kurama]

It makes everything weird when someone cheats. I won four coin tosses in a row on {prenetic sliver} and was worried it would look like cheating. And twice other people had uncanny good luck and I asked them, relatively gently, if their draws were honest. They got justifiably offended and I appologized, but when the first guy who happens to have the perfect card when he needs it was stacking his deck, it cuts your trust down hard.

Regarding this whole incident in general, it really just lowered my faith in people overall. Not to sound extreme, but I am usually a very trusting person and I just kind if turned aside from what seemed like a suspicious situation because I wanted to have faith that he wasn't cheating, but the circumstances became undeniable. This is actually one of the reasons why I wanted someone to help mod this with me, because I knew they would probably see things that I overlooked.

Maybe 3 way skype call or something could fix the trust thing?

[Ieatfood7]

I don't skype. I only play walls. And its impossible to catch a smart cheater on wall games, but the best defense against cheating is the realization that its dumb... We are playing for fun and pride, if you cheat, you don't get the pride at all since you know you didn't actually win.

[Kurama]

I think that's the main reason why I wanted to believe that the whole situation was fine, is because there was nothing at stake. What could you obtain from cheating?

I cheated once, and my deck was so bad, even with the perfect(or what I thought was perfect) hand, I still got spanked. It was bad. Since then I don't do it. It's stupid and you only end up embarrassing yourself.

[Ieatfood7]

Gotta say, I'm pretty proud of the fact that I could beat Vindog when he was cherry picking answers that weren't even in his deck in both EDH and in Casual. (well, in edh I had him beat until he pulled an {angels grace} out of thin air, but that was to stop lethal and that's when I called him out.)

Well done

[IntoFire]

Can I use a prison deck?

[Ieatfood7]

Well, the casual tournament petered out so I'll just take on challengers, as I'm sort of the last man standing?

Who will take my title and claim their rightful place as King of Casual!?

(Clear decklists with the tournament organizer, he is keeping tabs on the power level of "casual" staying away from degenerate and unbeatable deck)

[Kurama]

Actually, if you don't mind I may just give you the win on this one so I can get sign ups going for the next tournament.

[Ieatfood7]

Oh that's fine. I didn't know another one was waiting. I figured after tournament we can just have a king of hill, challenge the champ, thing.

I'll join in the next round. Different deck. I'll message it to you later
