@MenhirIt's a lot clearer if you play the Yu-Gi-Oh games. If the option isn't disabled to only do so when holding down a certain button, it will prompt you if you want to chain things every god-damned second. During the battle phase, there is a very clear distinction between activating cards in response to an attack being "declared" and activating the card during the damage step. If you don't activate them when the attack is declared thinking you can just activate them during the damage step, then find out they can't be, you're out of luck.
As for the week of absence, I was sick as sin when you originally posted and spent a good two or three days lying in bed only getting up to eat, blow my nose and waste time online finding theme songs intended for other RPs. I didn't want to make posts while dizzy. That's on me.
I won't deny I dreaded playing it out against Vanity's Emptiness, and I forgot Vanity's Emptiness could destroy itself, or that Crush Card Virus exerts field control. I didn't expect Crush Card Virus to be so effective either, (without it, you were 700 points off of lethal) but even with all that, come now. I wasn't
that spiteful. I was pissed, absolutely. I expected you to put thought into planning what would happen throughout the duel like a GM whose place you were filling would, only to be told you don't know how the actual deck I was using works and that you basically didn't care if you created an impossible scenario. It even seemed like you were just rubbing it in with the open field because Elly's deck had no way to actually take advantage of it with Vanity's up, but I got over it. Really, I did, with the very first response in our PMs. No, rather, we moved on to how much you hated how I RP.
6 days ago, I asked you if you wanted to collab a post, because it seemed like you didn't want a post-by-post duel despite insisting on it previously. You spent two days not giving me a direct answer. You took such issue, insulting me for not having Elly give these one-sided speeches every post, calling it hard to work with and dull. Despite this, you didn't want the back-and-forth a collab offers. You suggested I change her character, suggesting ideas that frankly, seemed neither more robust nor more interesting. You said I didn't seem to like interaction at all while having your character ignore what she says and does as if the latter half of every post is retconned along with actions taken after negations. (Which was kind of annoying, since you declined taking steps to prevent that too) It was this that, you could say, I got "mad" about, and we went on about it for a while, but ultimately, all of that isn't important.
4 days ago you said I should just go ahead and post, but since I got the message late in the day, I said I would post tomorrow, here, in the OOC tab. My sleep schedule at the time is kind of wonky, so RPguild says it was posted 2 days ago, but I did post it within 24 hours, and we continued to here from there.
I know I'm a huge asshole, and I'm sorry about that, but
no, I don't feel silly.
