Barian Warlord Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Well you could have Malefis Duel Raven over the boys fate, Raven wins so Malefis doesn't get to kill the kid and like 100 other people and at the end a secret part of Sector Security gets the guy from the first chapters report and begins to move or something. Bwa ha ha ha ha I am the king of vageness in plots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 My first thought was actually Malefis vs Ghibli for those stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barian Warlord Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 You should probably introduce some anti-duel spirit group or else it looks like they are just going to pick everyone off 1 by 1, it could be anything from a department of SS thats old or brand new to random people or a company.

.Nu-13 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 [quote] "Tell me, Ghibli," Daemon murmured. "Does the card Blackwing- Ghibli the Searing Wind see much play? No? Surely it must bother you, that most other Blackwings are widely played, yet your card sits in a trade binder, and is only used by players without the cash for a Battle Fader." [/quote] BEST. QUOTE. SO FAR. I'm glad that you didn't drop it. The new chapter is really nice, keep it up But I don't get one thing : Who was dueling? Ghibli or Luke? If Ghibli, why the hell he had Volcanic Scattershot?

evilfusion Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I liked that line, too. It's simple, but effective. Besides, I had chosen Ghibli as a character purely because Ghibli the Searing Wind is an unappreciated Blackwing. Ghibli is dueling. It's his deck, Luke is just the one holding, playing, and drawing the cards on Ghibli's instructions (much like Jack + Carly). Luke uses Gravekeepers. And the reason is that not every Duel Spirit character will be using the archetype deck they belong to. It would be embarrassingly cliche if they did. For some characters, I wanted to show their deck choice revolves more around their personality. - Malefis, being sadistic and arrogant, has a deck that has the potential to deal a lot of damage and overwhelm an opponent with a mixture of power and destruction. In addition, her cards are rarely defensive and focus more heavily on creating a new attack force to counter an opponent's efforts. Lastly, her obsession with Stardust Dragon and its evolutions has a character reason behind it. - Ghibli has been seen to be a bit of an annoyance, as he disrupts events and then ducks away from retaliation. For that reason, I gave him Volcanic Burn. Even other characters acknowledged it was a very strange choice, and as you can imagine, the appearance of Stardust Dragon worried him. Volcanic decks do not like to see Stardust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nu-13 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 True on that. It screw Scattershot and Blaze Accelerator completly. Promise that it won't take you that long to make chapter 5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'll try not to, and short of another insane writer's block, I'll be fine. I figured out what I was lacking: a secondary faction that can directly oppose the main faction. This concept was explored more using Daemon, a Duel Spirit who opposes the antagonistic designs of the main Duel Spirits. As for the chapter, I already started part of it, so it'll be much easier to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector Nightmare Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 This chapter was actually excellent. It's always very fun to see duels involving more than the standard two people. And the subtle 'cooperation' / truce between Ghibli and Daemon to beat the theoretically superior Malefis was fun as well. Very good job, and I also liked the concept of the Duel Spirits taking control of their human 'partners' in order to duel. Worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cakey Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Stardust can't do anything about Blaze Accelerator, actually. Or am I wrong about that? It can stop the Scattershot combo, at least. Anyhoot, it's very exciting. I was thinking to myself that maybe Ghibli would use an unconventional Blackwing deck, like Steelwings or one that uses Etesian. But it's your call.

evilfusion Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I thought a three-way duel would be more interesting than another one involving character X vs Malefis. As for the truce/cooperation, what I find most interesting is that none of the three are really "good guys". Malefis is very far to the villain end of the meter, Ghibli is less so, but not to the point where he can be called "good", and Daemon may possibly be the closest to the "hero" end of the spectrum, but he's hardly a morally superior character. He just doesn't agree with their goals and likes ticking them off. I'm thrilled you found the chapter so enjoyable/good/whatever. I'm just glad I broke the writer's block.[quote name='Dr. Cakey' timestamp='1294174850' post='4911578'] Stardust can't do anything about Blaze Accelerator, actually. Or am I wrong about that?

[/quote] Stardust chains to activation of EFFECTS, and is ruled to be able to counter Continuous S/Ts as well. I just figured a Sin Stardust using a Dragon/Stardust deck, an Infernity Archfiend teaming with his Infernity using human-ally, and a Blackwing using a Blackwing deck, unconventional or not, would be too uncreative.

Dr. Cakey Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 It does? The card text indicates it doesn't... I get what you mean about the seeming uncreativity of having three monsters dueling and all using their respective deck. Maybe he should have used Clown Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Which part of the text? Stardust Dragon: "You can Tribute this card to negate the activation of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster's effect that destroys a card(s)..." Ruling: "Stardust Dragon's" effect can be chained to the effect of a Continuous Spell or Trap Card, like "Blaze Cannon" or "Skull Lair". It's not even known if Daemon uses an Infernity deck. We do know his human "ally" already uses Infernities, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barian Warlord Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 HAHA Malefis lost, that makes me feel good, I'll say this EF you made 1 good char.Plus you got light and dark wrong, its not only once in a chain, I've seen it in the games, it is super lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Please rest assured that I know most, if not all, appropriate rulings for the cards I use, and if I'm not confident, I'll research until I am (D2 Shield is one such example). LADD can only activate once a CHAIN, not once a Turn. So if you activate an effect, LADD automatically chains to it. At this time, you can chain to LADD's effect and LADD will not negate it. The move in question was: LADD attacks. Daemon activates Infernity Break (this was meant to provide one of two openings) LADD chains. Ghibli chained Magic Cylinder. LADD is already using its effect this chain, so it resolves without problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barian Warlord Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've seen it chain more then once, but they might have changed the ruling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 May I ask WHERE you've seen it able to chain more than once? It could be an outdated video game, a specific situation, or someone not playing right. Considering the number of times in RPs and writing I emphasis the proper rulings or mechanics, especially chaining rules, I think I'd be more likely to make a mistake by oversimplifying a complicated effect or procedure, rather than making something too complicated. Heh. And I'm curious, you said I made a good character. I assume you're referring to Malefis due to context, but could you elaborate on what is liked?

Barian Warlord Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 It was a video game, that's why i said the ruling could have changed. so ya conversation over and we have a solution. Malefis seems like she could be a real person, she has great flaws and is understandable seeing her background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
