[OOC] Yu-Gi-Oh Soul R (Still Accepting)

[KOgaming]

@Satoshi Kyou@Eklispe

I've used this argument before. While it may be preferable for you to use something, I can't force everyone else to do the same. If you want to do it, show him first instead of forcing it on him. Then it'll catch on. Like I said, I don't really see a problem if you do it either way as whether a post is spoiled or not doesn't particularly effect how an RP will go.

What has @Prostagma done anyways? At least in the IC. You can RP in PMs if you like; but keep in mind that I, as the GM, also want to watch exciting duels; not to mention your fellow players. And like he mentioned, there's no shortage of space on this site. Not as far as I'm aware, and certainly not as much as I think just this one RP will take up.

[Eklispe]

I believe I'm being mis-understood again but if your statement satisfies Prostagma that was my intent so I'm all good. ^.^

Well, just for clarification, imagine you have some marbles. One would prefer having all your marbles in one jar, rather than having them scattered all across the floor, right? This is what we want you to see. Instead of having 20+ separate posts scattered in the thread, we would prefer a good wall of text to read all at once.

I get that some people don't like having a wall of text, and that is fine, but constantly glossing over entire posts in order to find and read the duel can be just as annoying, if not more so.

At the very least, by putting a post-by-post Duel in hiders, we can immediately tell which posts are referring to the actual duel, and which posts are about the other interactions of the rp. We just want the rp to be organized instead of a huge mess.

[KOgaming]

Functionally, what's the difference? It'll all still be on the same page.

Playing devil's advocate here, it could be that for Prostagma doesn't want to split apart their posts in between scenes of her character talking and scenes of her character playing a card game. It's totally reasonable that, to take an example out of thin air, she wants to have scenes of her talking to other people, developing her character and interacting with other people during her duel completely on the fly, where a post could be structured as "character talks to opponent, then talks to guy in the audience, then plays a card, then has an inner monologue about her feelings, etc." If she used the system you're suggesting, hiding away anything card game related away to the audience, her example would read like:

"

Hider

character talks to opponent,

then talks to guy in the audience,

Hider

then plays a card,

then has an inner monologue about her feelings, etc."

This would force people to write their posts either entirely about playing card games or about roleplaying, and it would hamper their creativity in trying to blend them together, so I could see why somebody would be against it.

@The book of bad juju

Oh god, no. That would be way too specific, and I don't even know how my idea came to be interpreted as that. I was suggesting the entire post be put in a hider, period, not just duel-specific stuff.

@KOgaming

I want to believe that, trust me, but it's not always the case. There are times when, between the posts of the Duel itself and the rest of us non-Dueling plebs, the Duel will stretch on to other pages. Not fun, lemme tell you.

But I digress. I will drop the issue.

[Satoshi Kyou]

yeah, i think I fueled this a bit. anyways post by post does work but now I think about it... if a duel does go post by post... I would feel like I shouldn't post anything until the duel is over and I probably won't try to interrupt a post by post duel

ugh again I am reading things wrong again please just shoot me in the head with the gun that shoots the word idiot at my face

this is what not being educated a ton does to a guy

anyways do your post by post I'll halt my own posting as a result because if i post in the middle i will get super fucking confused

[The book of bad juju]

I've left it kind of ambiguous who was sitting behind us on the bus, so if Carnel or Ayumi want to get involved in it they can go right ahead and not feel too left out. A brick narrowly missing your face is as good a reason as any to make friends.

As I've decided right now, quotes in italics are things spoken in a foreign (not Japanese) language.

@Prostagma

Let's just put hiders on our duel posts. That seems easiest.

[Ammokkx]

@Doc Doctor You only draw five cards on the first turn of a duel.

EDIT: To clarify, this was a rule set in place at the start of the current (Arc-V) era to counteract the massive advantage that going first was. By giving the first player one less card, it's now a lot more important to choose first or second. I'm pretty sure we're not playing with the obsolete rulings, so unless the GM tells me otherwise you should only have five cards to start.

So is this still accepting?

Part of the application process is finding the application process.

Good luck.

@Ammokkx

Some RPs tend to forget to change that option, hence why I asked :P.

[Doc Doctor]

@Ammokkx

Oh, that's a pretty big change! Never heard about it. I'll go ahead and revise that.

@Doc Doctor

It's part of the same rules change that allowed two field spells to exist on opposite sides of the field at the same time, just as a heads up.
