Very cute . So is the underwear <| sep |> I just bought one about 5 minutes ago from that exact link , but thanks nonetheless ! !<| sep |> Hey there , im an event organiser from a small store in the UK , thought I could help out here a little . So first off , I want to clarify that I personally play at FNM and Game Day because I dont get paid to run the events I want the store to at least break even , so I get paid with 3 boosters packs every event I run rather than cash . I am in a very fortunate position where I have just finished University and earn a fairly decent wage in my full time job , so the money the store COULD pay me is not a big loss to me don ' t want to sound arrogant , im very fortunate . ### So to your points ###### He competed at game day and is a judge ### You don ' t really need a judge at minor events such as Game Day . Yes in an ideal world you would , but its not ESSENTIAL . as long as the guy running the event is even remotely honest . I think the ideal situation is that the more experienced players act as one giant judge . FNM and Game Day is fun , try not to worry too much about having a judge wizards dont even stipulate that you need one . As far as prizes go , if I do end up winning anything , lets say 4 booster packs for 1 st , I always put some of it back into the prize pool for lower placed players to keep them interested in returning . ### Lying about results giving favourable matches to himself ### Ok before I go into this part I want to say im sorry up front if I am wrong . I have to be honest I hope it doesn ' t offend . So quite frankly , based on my experience , I don ' t believe you on this part OR I think you have the wrong end of the stick or lack of knowledge as to how results and pairings are done . ALL matches are made and results reported on the WER Wizards Event Reporter . Yes , the organiser can make up results BUT , assuming he is using WER which he must be to even run a Game Day , he can ' t just make up games how he likes . Pairings are done on WER based on previous results . So if he went 20 and your opponent 11 , he shouldn ' t be paired like this , unless there was an extremely low turn out or a ton of draws . What I suspect may have happened here is one of two thingsa . You are bending the truth a little and making this part up because you are so aggrieved about the other pointsor b . A result got put in wrong which would effect later pairings it happens , I have done it a few times we all have a bad day at times . orc . You got the results of his or your opponents games wrong . If you GENUINELY and I mean GENUINELY believe that he is making results and games up , report it to Wizards and they can easily investigate this and IF he has , it will show up like a sore thumb on the event reporter . ### Breaking Format Rules ### I have personally contacted Wizards before because modern is soooo much more popular at our store and I wanted to run a modern Game Day . They said nope , not even limited standard only . So again , if this is genuinely true , report it . I hate that it has to be modern , I think its narrow minded by Wizards to make this rule since some stores just don ' t get good standard turn outs , but hey thats the rules and they need to be adhered to . ### High prices ### Quite frankly , what is the point of this ? Assuming America is still a free country , just like most of Western Civilisation , he is entitled to price things how he wants . Guess what ? You , as a free citizen , have the right to say nope not paying that . Be thankful you have the luxury of multiple stores in your area . Many areas don ' t have a LGS , much less the ability to find a better price from a competitor . ### Theft and abuse of power ### I will address this in partsCancerous towards other players Because someone is an asshole doesnt mean they are cheating you . Gets what he wants in game situations You state that you have been playing 6 months . All due respect , but I doubt you understand even how the stack works at this point not a knock on you , we were all new once . So with how complicated interactions can be at times , I think this is a case of him telling you what happens rather than explaining it to help you understand and improvelearn . However , I will say this on abusing power . I once disqualified myself in game 2 of round 3 at FNM because I found out I had 5 copies of Goblin DarkDwellers in my 60 card deck which I had chucked together 10 minutes before FNM started I had literally just finished work and had to rush to the store . I only noticed when I was going to side board them out after game 1 . However at this point I was 20 in rounds and 10 up in round 3 , so it wasn ' t fair that I continue since GDD was integral to the deck and I was getting the card more than I should have . I do sometimes worry that a less honest person may have shrugged their shoulders and carried on . Finally , a deck being stolen This is a serious accusation and you need to be very very careful with this . You have no proof that the guy stole your deck . Im not saying its your fault if your stuff got stolen , but KEEP YOUR STUFF WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES ! !! So in review of this thing . It seems to me like you have an event organiser who takes winning pretty seriously , can be a bit of an Ahole and isnt great at talking to newer players as to mistakes being made etc etc . However you have taken this bad experience and made up stories or at least heavily doctored them to make it seem worse than it actually is .
