Hey everyone, welcome to Yu-Gi-Oh Newfoundland (or YGO-NF, for short). Now, before I even get started in explain why I decided to create this blog, I'll get one thing out of the way first - Don't take this thing too seriously! If you have some kind of underlying grudge against Yu-Gi-Oh or Newfoundland, or you just don't care about either, you'd best just hit that little "X" in the left or right corner of your browser window (hey, gotta account for those Mac users out there ;) )
Now, onto the point. I decided to do this blog for three reasons. One, I was bored. Seriously, if I wasn't, I'd probably have better things to do than blog about Yu-Gi-Oh. Luckily for you readers, I don't, so I hope you enjoy it anyway. The second reason, is that I like the game. Sure it's a children's card game played by adults, but what the heck, it's fun as damn, so I play it. Lastly, I'm doing this blog because the Yu-Gi-Oh community here in Newfoundland is almost completely unknown, and I hope that by writing this blog, I can attract more attention to the community and hope to expand it and allow it to flourish.
Right now, the community here in the city of St. John's (the capital city of Newfoundland for those of you less geographically inclined) consists of about eight to ten consistent competitive players, and at least another twenty or so who only play in tournaments every so-often. Of course, then you have the players who don't play competitively, whose numbers amount several times higher than the ones I just gave you. Our population here is small, so obviously our playerbase is smaller than most places as well. Regardless, we still love the game and have a great time playing.
Now that you know why, I'll tell you who. My name's David, or, as the blogging community will/has/might never come to know me by, Dave on the Rock. I'm nineteen, and a graphic design student attending college. Outside of Yu-Gi-Oh, I enjoy the usual things, spending time with friends/family, playing games of all sort, and a select few other hobbies that nobody would likely be interested in.
The question of "what" is where this post is actually gonna get interesting. "What" I'll be blogging about is quite a few things, but on two different scales - local, and international. On the local scene, I'll be talking about the local metagame, interesting decks that turn up here, and some other cool stuff like videos and player interviews.
On a large scale, I'll be talking about new sets, new cards, the metagame as a whole, banlist changes, as well as giving you guys some tips, pointers and things to think about when it comes to the game.
Last but not least, you'll be treated to something completely random every now and again. It's so random even I don't know what to expect yet!
