If you can't get whatever this site's issue is sorted out I'm happy to move this to email or something if that's easier.

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

@Xagor1 Apologies for the @ but it looks like your inbox is closed. I saw your replies to a recent thread and was wondering if you would be willing to do an interview for my site regarding your experiences at the Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Game World Championships.

@NeilBeforeMemes @MBTYuGiOh Went to find follow-up based on @mewsoup's tweet since early decklists are a blind spot for me and can confirm this is Ryon's winning list: https://t.co/77fCyXsr3n
It was posted in a JP magazine but those are extremely hard to find scans or info from. Trying anyways.

@MBTYuGiOh It's gotta be New-Gi-Oh!.

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

@MBTYuGiOh Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2006 on the GBA has a bug where Angel of Creation - Venus can fail to find Mystical Shine Ball. At Worlds that year, Kenji Watanabe built a consistent Reversal Quiz FTK around this interaction. Event-goers watched him win the final match in two turns.

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

@FarfaYGO A few years ago they took down the entire EU coverage blog, taking over a decade of history along with it. I think there are a lot of interesting things throughout Yu-Gi-Oh!'s tenure that are worth highlighting but can't be fully appreciated because they're not accessible.

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

@FarfaYGO This is not a uniquely Yu-Gi-Oh! thing, all major card games seem to falter here, but it sucks that Konami doesn't seem to respect the game's history. It's so hard to find info about early tournaments/decks, duelist profiles, things that make the game more than just the cards.

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

@MBTYuGiOh They should've given us the full GBA library so we could get World Championship 2006. Then everyone could experience the joy of the near-100% consistent Question FTK thanks to a glitch that lets Agent of Creation - Venus fail to find. Or they'd fix that stuff, that'd be cool too.

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

It's unfortunate that World Championship 2006 isn't in this collection because I want to see if they would fix the glitches and bugs and if not I want to see online play devolve into first turn kill mirrors based on the Worlds-winning decklist.

With the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection coming out soon, there's never been a better time to get caught up on the competitive history of several games in the collection, learn the meta, and read up on the importance of these games to Yu-Gi-Oh!'s history!

This week's Date☆Night archive is up! With mana orb in hand, it's time for CIRCUS to confront Vilio and stop him from sacrificing himself! Surely the power of love can save the Archdragon and his Dragon Bride from a tragic end!
Thanks for watching!

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

And with that, Date☆Night will be taking a hiatus! May your holiday season be merry!

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

Thanks for joining us on stream last night! Radiant Tale came to an abrupt but satisfying conclusion, and while it's not without flaws it was still a pretty entertaining experience overall! Plus we reached a >50% ratio of Balto deaths on routes so that had to count for something!

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

It's time for another session of Date☆Night & Dragons! Join @DeviousVacuum and I tonight at 9:45PM EST on https://t.co/dfTicNCDNe as we conclude our playthrough of Radiant Tale! The true end is in sight!

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

This week's Date☆Night archive is up! Tifalia and Colivus must face six trials to retrieve the Ragules Crystal! Will they be able to best these challenges with enough time to reach Vilio, and will the crystal even be enough to save him?

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

Thanks for joining us on the stream! Tifalia and Colivus were able to conquer the trials of the Great Spirits and retrieve the Dragon Crystal in record time! However, will they be able to save Vilio with the crystal in hand, or will they be too late to stop his sacrifice?

[ChorpSaway @ChorpSaway]

Daylight has been saved, so now it's time for Date☆Night! Join @DeviousVacuum and I tonight at 9:45PM EST on https://t.co/dfTicNDbCM as we continue our playthrough of Radiant Tale and approach the True Ending!
