User:Okamoto Takeo

Hi there! You can call me Takeo. It's not my actual name, of course, but it's inspired by two of the many books I'm fond of. Okamoto Kido was the author of "The Curious Casebook of Inspector Hanshichi," which is a set of Holmes-level detective stories set in the Edo era of Japan. (Lucky for me, the book is available in English.) Takeo Pickett is a character in a short story by Arthur Clarke (the same guy that did "2001: A Space Odyssey"). When the spaceship's navigation computer and communications systems are thrown off by the comet the crew is studying, Pickett gets the idea of training the entire crew to use abacuses. They essentially act as a human computer to handle enough of the orbital mechanics to get them out of the comet and into communications range with Earth for proper navigation.

So, in short, I love books. As for Yugioh, I've played the game ever since Summoned Skull held the record for mid-level ATK -- and posed a threat to lots of high-level monsters, in fact. I've had plenty of ideas for cards that would be cool to see (who hasn't?), so I thought I'd give this wiki a try. Some of my cards are out of my head, others are inspired by existing cards, and still others by things that have nothing to do with the game. I will not post carbon copies of a card that belongs to somebody else here. But if we had the same idea and I didn't know it yet, I'll give credit where credit is due.

It'll take me a while to make a proper listing.

Post any comments you like, and thanks for reading!
