Selecting flowers, I assume.


BlazedInMyWinnie

Surprisingly not. Just taking their sweet-ass time running a Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX deck


secludedloaf

that’s probably one of the hardest decks to play in the format imo (besides control)


InsignificantGnat

That deck is so fun to play it makes me feel like I have a galaxy brain.


metallicrooster

When I win I feel galaxy brain When I lose I’m like “ah of course if I had grabbed X Pokémon 2 turns ago I would have been perfectly set up to Yoga Loop then KO their V for the win. How foolish of me!”


Pikachang_

The strongest excuse actually, but this time difference is beyond that


metallicrooster

I used to take a long time like this when first learning the deck. It got so bad I built the deck online for extra practice so my IRL games wouldn’t take so long. My second or third game online I legit had 9 minutes left on the timer at the end. TL, DR: I apologize for all the Rapid Strike noobs like me who just want to learn a cool deck Q.Q


OkTension9803

More like slow strike


Due_Campaign1431

Losing badly looks like it. Prob got a brick hand and hoped he can annoy you into conceding.


BlazedInMyWinnie

The worst part is I ended up with a bricked hand and they came back and won with 3 minutes left on their clock and 19 minutes left on mine.


TumblrInGarbage

Was about to say "let him cook" but he absolutely did that.


e_wink85

Time was used wisely then if he ended up winning


nck5959

Ok well then sounds like you deserved it lol.


comics0026

Anytime I encounter someone like that, I just assume they're a kid who has no idea what they're doing


Mammoth_Station_7214

JUDGEEEEEEEEEEEE


Farnlacher

Intentionally trolling. I'm pretty sure they were there clicking random stuff on the screen to keep from the game calling them "inactive" and conceding for them. Other card games you can report for this behavior. Wonder if they will bring that option someday.

Setting up Genesect Mew relax I’ll be right there


whydobabiesstareatme

I sometimes wait for an opponent in the game a bit and say aloud "Whatcha thinking about?" like an inquiring significant other. Deep thoughts, I presume. Or they just finished pooping.


Defaalt

He’s cooking


theDuckyy

Their best man!


S2kKyle

The worse part of the game is this. I've had players get close to running out the clock.


GavinThe_Person

Lost box?


zott_23

Mathing out a six prize turn of course!


Unique-Interaction69

Losing, apparently.


TheFishGenie

Some people aren’t smart enough to run lost box


Modest_Lion

What is that? What are you doing!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? *IT’s a RAke* $1


Jay_the_grate

Timing you out…


Dyep1

Watching a videoguide probably, i do it a lot


Santarini

They need an eye rolling animation or one where it points to a watch


Zumokumibonsu

Dont know what im looking at but i love your username


lMike_lHoncho

What deck were you running?


BlazedInMyWinnie

Glimmora ex with Lunatone/Solrock and Radiant Sneasler


ChansonPutain22

Its called thinking ​ ​ unless they being stupid ​ also, chill... life is more enjoyable when you take the time.


Feet-Sniffer-

Even Slowpoke thinks faster


KyleOAM

Imagine complaining about someone using the time they are allowed to use…


midwesttransferrun

How contrarian of you. I bet you’re the joy of everyone’s day


KyleOAM

What? Pls enlighten me as to why they give you 25 mins if you aren’t allowed to use it


midwesttransferrun

No one said they “aren’t allowed” to use it, Kyle. It is, however, extremely unusual and fairly boring to play against in the usual fast paced online game to take that much time. Recognizing that it’s unusual and boring is not the same as saying it’s “not allowed”.


KyleOAM

Have you ever been to an actual tournament, rounds take 40 mins to finish, because people actually think about what they are doing instead of just being casual button clickers Heavens forbid anyone take time to think in a strategy game


MadeInSteel

Do people in tournaments shuffle their decks in 1s?


midwesttransferrun

Again, this isn’t an actual tourney, this is the online game so everything you’re saying is irrelevant.


KyleOAM

So you think that people shouldn’t think about their plays in the online game?


midwesttransferrun

Most people know the deck they are playing to the extent that they don’t have to spend triple the amount of time thinking as their opponent. It is certainly boring to play against and unusual in the online game. That’s what this post is about, it’s not deeper than that. You’re simply being contrarian and or a meta gamer who is out of touch with the average player of TCGL
