In fact, according to the official ruling, it is not a violation.
In the King of Games comics, there is a cheat known as "perfume tactics", which refers to applying perfume to cards and relying on the sense of smell to distinguish the smell of different cards to gain an advantage. The other day, in a "Game King" folk competition in Japan, there was also a player who won the advantage by smell. However, this player adopts the exact opposite tactic of perfume tactics: body odor tactics.
Recently, the organizer of the "Game King" folk competition "アナログスポーツ CS" posted on Twitter that in the game a few days ago, due to the fact that a player's body odor was too bad, so that there were victims who "couldn't help but want to vomit when they smelled his body odor", which seriously affected the performance of the game.
As for how smelly it is, the organizers also gave a metaphor for conveying the gods: human-shaped poop.
In fact, this player's physical odor has long been well-known, and the organizers have heard about it before this incident, but now that there are victims, as the organizers of the competition, they naturally cannot continue to let it go. In the statement, they made it clear that they "hope that the player will be aware of his problem, and if the body odor problem does not improve or the victim appears again when he re-competes in the future, the player will be banned." ”
Although this statement does not name names, it is clear that our prisoners already know it. The contestant rushed to the scene as soon as he learned of the incident to apologize and tried to defend his future participation rights.
He reflected afterwards and didn't look like it was intentional.
The incident has garnered a lot of attention in the circle of card gamers, after all, in this circle, body odor is an enduring topic. In order to save costs, the general folk competition will not choose a particularly large venue, and in the scene of the competition that is crowded with participants, it will always be filled with the odor emitted by players who do not pay attention to hygiene.
On Google searches, "card store" and "stink" are always tied together.
In many card shops in Japan, posters about the importance of personal hygiene are posted.
Of course, this phenomenon is not limited to Japan. As early as April 2019, the official "King of Games" in the United States had added additional convention rules to such unhygienic phenomena: if the players were too dirty in the official competition, they would face certain punishments. Unfortunately, this rule has not been officially adopted by The Japanese authorities, so in theory, such "body odor tactics" are still feasible in official competitions in Japan.
Although the factors affecting odor can also be attributed to the site environment, ventilation and other conditions, but good personal hygiene must be put first. Although most players do it unintentionally, there will always be villains who maliciously exploit the loopholes in the rules. Incidentally, if the opponent is really stunned during the game, according to the official ruling, it should be like this: because the opponent cannot continue the game, the opponent will win without a fight.
