So same story since the fucking 90s? Some ccg players are fucking stanky.

no one mentioned some of them are doing this on purpose to force the opposite player to make mistakes during a match because of the distracting smell, or make them concede because they cant stand the smell.

I have a hard time believing that. Maybe one guy did that at a tournament once, but I can't believe it's being done at scale

9000 IQ move: “If we all stink then no one stinks!”

Meanwhile, organizers pass out on the floor due to the odor.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Yeah this is not a legitimate strategy.

It’s a rule by Konami. You need to have basic hygiene. Nothing unusual here.

Some people aren't good at taking hints, you have to whack them over the head to get their attention first.

This is what happens when you add Mai Valentine to the supporting cast of the manga/anime.

Get your head out of the gutter, I meant because she used to scent mark her cards to give herself a strategic advantage.

Scent mark with perfume, Geez.

TCG games just attract people that are 150 pounds overweight and smell like cat piss.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

That guy got banned for harassment.

But all he did was highlight the lack of hygiene and care that players who came to these events had.

Safe space is one thing, but I'm glad butt crack guy exists and we need more public (or private) shaming about basic hygiene.

Hey that's not cool! Being smelly is a strategy for winning! It throws your opponent's off! If I want to stink, I should be allowed to! /s (Joking)
