Hello members of the agarioforums community. I am a video-game player like yourself but I play another game. Its called Yugioh. However, recently our site came under attack by an evil company called NAS. Sign this petition to offer support to the resistance:

Good luck with your petition, though I doubt it will help your cause. I'm myself a Yu-Gi-Oh player and I play almost every week, I tried the DN a year ago and I must say I prefer to play IRL. People there play competitive/meta decks and it forced me to create a serious deck and I didn't really like the experience; at my hobby store, we're more casual players, we nerf our decks to allow longer, less "violent" matches, no one plays a competitive deck and everyone here despise the meta haha.

Anyways, yu-gi-oh! is a lot of fun and I can understand that you're upset, but I think it's a lost cause.

I've never heard of this game, but took a look at the petition.

It is well worded, and concisely describes the situation. I hope that it is helpful, but I'm inclined to agree with @Doigt -- I figure that a company (I don't completely understand how they have a copyright, but they must have, or they wouldn't be able to excise such a heavy-handed response.) willing to force action when no harm is being done to them, is too full of itself, and is unlikely to listen to anything, unless forced to by a court of law.

I signed it, though, and good luck to your community there -- hopefully something will happen, and it won't be a death-blow to another quaint on-line community.

Didn't expect serious responses and appreciate them. I don't think the petition will help much either and agree that its probably a lost cause but I just don't want the site to go down in this manner without any fight whatsoever. Thanx!!

I agree! Just because we can be docile, and accepting, doesn't mean that we should. If the copyright holder were being harmed, or were it losing money in some way, I could see it's reasoning. But with that absent, I think you have to try to fight, for the sake of NOT being just docile and accepting.

Good luck again, and hopefully a few others here will sign it as well!
