Billy Moreno, a Magic: The Gathering personality, former Upper Deck Entertainment game designer, and overall chill dude, has recently posted some interesting material related to tournament procedures involving clock management. As this can be a subject of interest to competitive players for the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, and the blogger was someone who worked on the game at one point, I wanted to highlight his recent conversation with "The" Ben Seck, another former game designer from UDE and Magic: The Gathering player. You can find the transcript of this conversation here.
The two have their specific view-points on the subject, and it's honestly not that far off from situations that have come up with the competitive scene for the WoW TCG. The subject of intent versus non-intent and slow-play versus stalling is a gray area, and it leads to some interesting debates on what's fine and what is unacceptable. It's a great read, and one I'd highly recommend checking out. Billy also has two different viewpoints on a more specific subject in the Magic pro community regarding a recent incident that puts a popular pro player's reputation in jeopardy.
Tomorrow's article will be tied into the daily discussion topic for the Run Good Club, and will be tied in with Billy's discussions recently on slow play, intent, and tournament procedures. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to what some of you have to say on the topic once the article is posted.
