I've played three games of Pokemon today online. I'm playing a Level 1 Evolution deck with the usual suspects (Yanmega, Cincinno and Donphan Prime) along with a Reshiram, Ditto and a few other tricks. None of the games were worth recording. The first game started out slow, until I finally got an evolution going and the opponent conceded. The second game the opponent stalled for 15 minutes before conceding. I started fixing dinner while I waited. The third game the opponent disconnected, which leaves me with a five minute wait unless I wanted to concede. Fortunately the rules engine crashed so I wasn't stuck waiting to avoid giving the other player the win. I always check the # of wins and # of cards my opponent has, so I can tell when I'm playing someone with a small selection of cards. The question on my mind is why do they play in the Ranked Games? If you don't have a strong deck, you can play in unranked friendly games. I'm a proponent of never conceding. It only encourages the behavior. I must admit, that I appreciate more now the frustration players have with opponents who stall or play tediously slow in tournaments. Oak
