Okay guys a couple of things: the created ruleset is not the only type of duel we will be doing' date=' don't be alarmed. We will be having both turbo and ground duels using a structured deck format. If you're confused about the created ruleset itself, PM me and I'll be happy to answer any question you have about it.

Um... is my character accepted?

[evilfusion]

Is there something wrong with the post length limit or something? *sigh* Fine, I'm PM my complaints/questions.

 

Oh, I have a question.

 

Uh...everything. What could possibly determine who wins/loses? Does the chosen monster actually matter? Are the Weapon cards literally improv? Is there any sort of system that could make this "fair"? And, addressed in-universe...how the hell does this system determine whether someone's a good duelist? Last I checked, it's a mutual hatred of competitive players to have them thrown completely out of their genre and then judged by it.

Zetaru: you are in, sorry about that.

[evilfusion]

Oh, what do you know? The PM system's messed up, too. Actually, posting, post-preview, PM send, PM save-as-draft, etc are messed up.

[BANZAI!!!!]

...wow... epic fail new server. i guess ask your questions here then, fusion. XD

[evilfusion]

I've tried. Half my post gets cut off. I'll try sectioning it.

This seems to be a Turbo Duel, involving monsters whose ATK/DEF and effects don't matter, battling another such monster without the use of LP, Spells, Traps, or turns, and the players are aided by an unelaborated system of "weapon" cards that...no one has a clue how they work.

[BANZAI!!!!]

For this kind of duel, it has to do more with rp skill than a good deck.

 

1. A player wins if the other monster is knocked out/faints/hologram sustains enough damage. Think of it like pokemon, but without the HP bars.

 

2. Yes, the weapon cards are improvised, to a degree. I'll be posting a list of sample ones eventually.

 

3. Again its a matter of rp skill, so its fair. I'll be refereeing the duels, a.k.a. stepping in if a person god mods an ex-machina weapon card.

 

4. Beats me.. I guess synergy with the monster and the correct choice of which card to grab...

[evilfusion]

In other words, it's a duel that...does not operate by any of the rules of a duel. ATK/DEF/Effects are thrown out the window, meaning monsters are what? An avatar of the game condition? When it dies, the controller loses? And there's no known variable to determine win or loss, except for completely random factors: Cards placed at random, effects unknown at this time, that strongly influence the game state.

 

It takes away the real aspect of most dueling: the card game. I just don't see how that rule makes any sort of sense among duelists. They dont use their deck, they don't use their skill. They pick a monster, drive on a track, and hope to get lucky with a random card.

 

EDIT: ...is post length working again? I'm not sure...

 

Anyway, the idea is creative, I just can't imagine anyone being thrilled about entering a tournament, having the rules of the game you expect to play changed drastically with little notice, and then expected to compete at your best. And how similar would you say this is to Pokemon, in regards to monster mobility? Like...not as all, being standard holograms, or very similar, where they can perform logical feats of the chosen monster, like a snake immobilizing the opponent by wrapping its limbs?

[The White Wolf]

I think my character found his next target.... hehehe

[evilfusion]

I particularly like how your post doesn't illogically or unnecessarily intrude upon the narrative, threaten to interrupt or delay the plot, nor does it involve a high-profile character that should not be inconvenienced for the sake of the REST of the RPers.

[The White Wolf]

:)

 

Zaifire, you're in trouble hehehe

[evilfusion]

...my sarcasm is wasted on the oblivious.

 

By the way, Shooting, did you have a name change to Shooting Star Dragon, or was that your original username? If it was a change, what was your original name?

[The White Wolf]

my original was Ultra Dark Magician

[evilfusion]

That explains a lot.

[a coffee]

Hey Star Dragon, I have TWO things to say

 

1. I'm honestly appalled that you were denied on one account and re-applied on another simply to get around it.

 

2. You can't just go around being a super huge god-modder. This is also a warning to the other's who's "power" has been a little out of hand. You need to take it down a notch and more importantly, actually rp to have fun, not seem like some epic nerd god.

[The White Wolf]

I'm having fun, and how am I g-modding? I'm using REAL cards right now, my customs are harder 2 summon

[a coffee]

You're winning duels in like... TWO TURNS with moves that don't even make sense!

 

Oh and lets not forget the fact that you are KILLING PEOPLE AND WAS ALREADY DENIED ON ANOTHER ACCOUNT!

[RE-Mastered]

yea he beat a little quicker that I wanted... no offence but I was hopeing for a little more time to think of a better way to delevope me character

What'ya mean another account? I've only had a name change' date=' not a new account.... ask Blue Dawn[hr']

and ok, I'll slow things down a little

[RE-Mastered]

how did u change ur name man, i looked all over for that

[The White Wolf]

what'ya mean by "Forums hate your posts?"

I PMed Phantom Roxas, a super mod

[evilfusion]

For some reason, my recent posts keep getting clipped by the forums, despite them not being very long. They can be maybe a paragraph, but they'll get sliced.

[RE-Mastered]

I hate that, the other rp im in requires a four line post and when it's four lines on the post page its always shorter in the post.

[The White Wolf]

I see

 

and don't worry, I'll slow things down a notch, my speed is all there is right? And a few explosions while waiting is nothin', right?

[BANZAI!!!!]

Well... this angers me. Did you really re-apply after I denied you with another name? Well, I won't have that. ESPECIALLY not after your character's ridiculously overpowered dueling. (Yours took about 2-3 posts from you, while my previous duel with evilfusion took at least 10 from myself alone) I have to say, I don't like doing this, but you should have seen this coming... *BAN HAMMER!!!!!!!* And you can tell the mods to ask ME about the situation... 'Nuff said.
