MetaGame: Wicked Clever (5/4/2004)

"We are now just a week away from the start of the Pro Circuit Qualifier season for the first-ever Vs. System Pro Circuit event, to be held at GenCon Indy. Who will be the game’s breakout star and first big money winner? Who will become known as the game’s top deckbuilder? Who will be the bad boy? This is a game about superheroes and supervillains, so there’s got to be a good guy and a bad guy in there somewhere.

Every sport has an underdog. A Cinderella story. Someone you love to hate. Someone who dominates. If only we could’ve seen the formative years of these now-legends of the sports world. You, the players, have a chance to make a record of your road to greatness. By writing, sharing, and posting tournament reports, you’ll help build the following of the game, ensuring a steady stream of new players for you to beat at every event. Once you’re a star on the Circuit, you’ll have your own following—a loyal group of fans hanging on your every printed word. Just like I do. Uh, yeah.

Some of you may not have any experience writing tournament reports, so what follows are some pointers that will have you writing like the champ you are in no time. If you want to create a Pro Circuit identity beyond your win/loss record, follow either the hero or villain advice as well.

1. Bring a Notebook and Pen

If you can’t master this first task, then you probably forgot to bring half your deck and directions to the tournament venue as well, so you might as well stop reading. When you see your name on the pairings sheet posted at the start of each round, write down your opponent’s name. It’s easy to forget people’s names, especially when you’ll be meeting and talking to at least a dozen new players during the event.

Hero Advice: When your opponent sits down across from you, greet him or her using his or her first name, and offer to shake hands. Wish your opponent good luck for the match and for the rest of the tournament. It’s important to make a good first impression, as you’ll undoubtedly see the people you play against at events in the future.

Villain Advice: After reading the pairings board, jump onto the nearest chair and loudly bellow, “Timmy Wilkerson! Prepare to be crushed like the bug you are!”

You've got to be kidding me.

You know, sometimes I can't tell when this guy is joking and when he's serious.

Heh, I know... Does he actually expect or want anyone to do most of those villainy things? :P

Shouting "Ben Kalmen, come over here so I can squash you like the bug that you are!" would be fun though. :)

I'ma Villian!

I do every single thing he said at my local tournaments ('cept not nessicarily those exact things ._.). You see I win the tournaments all the time *head grows*. Everyone is some n00bish little bug that can't step up *head grows*. If I would lose, which I don't, they obviously did cheat, because my decks are always top tier *head continues to grow*
And since I win I make sure to gloat about it, something this guy failed to write down.*head continues to grow* Sometimes villians do win! *head grows...begins to make 'stretching sounds'* and when I win the whole world should kn..*head explodes*

(lol j/k ;) )

I dunno what I think about articles of this calibre.

What exactly are we learning here?

Some people come here for info. research? numbers?

anybody?

It's like when there's one nerd trying to study and fifteen jocks too busy having a "lugie" contest in the library.

btw, brilliant article.
