[OOC] Yugioh! : The 100th Annual Battle City Tournament

[Ploxerdon]

I just wish there were Pendulums...

@Scarifar

What kind of deck would you want to run then?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

I'm about done with Joseph and Fubuki as well; waiting for progression now.

[Scarifar]

Either Yosenju or Qliphorts. However I know that some people tend to dislike Qliphorts, so...

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

I'd rather not get beaten down by Qlis, tyvm.

@Scarifar

If you pick Qliphorts ill just abandon the roleplay lmao Nah but seriously, Pendulums aren't really balanced yet

[Scarifar]

Sigh~ yeah I know.

@PKMNB0Y

I know how you feel. I've got a post pre written already.

[DreadPirate]

Posted. Sorry to keep you guys waiting. Hopefully it is sufficient. I went through kind of a lot haha!

Hey, I found this about a day ago and decided after some thinking that I'd like to join to try and get back into RPing. Is it still possible to sign up? I see that you guys are off to a good start with a few duels having taken place already, so I just want to check to make sure before posting a character sheet. Also, I wanted to bring up something that's still a bit of a concern for me right now, and that's the current power creep between decks being used and the power cap for any future decks to be used. I don't know how the experience has been for you guys since I haven't had time to read through the whole OOC, but I do know that there are certain decks that can just outright stomp the heck out of some other character's decks. Nekroz against the old school Blue-Eyes deck I saw around here somewhere definitely does not seem like a fair matchup, for example, and I see there's already been some talk about using other decks that are pretty high up on the power scale of Yugioh (Infernoids, Qliphorts, think I might have even seen a mention of Shaddolls thrown around someplace). I was wondering how this would all be dealt with to try and keep the roleplay for everyone involved fair and enjoyable (because really, I'd be pretty bummed out if I knew my deck didn't stand much of a chance against everybody else) for everyone without completely banning the use of certain decks. I'm not trying to start anything and I hope I'm not giving the wrong impression here, I'm just curious is all.

@Krein

Ohai, I think we can make space. It's always nice to see another person on board. And about your concern, I feel ya. I'm not the GM but I really hope it does it get resolved. Maybe one duelist gets a handicap of sorts in these types of match-ups.

@Haru Nyan

Yeah, but its hard to decide what kind of handicap etc... Lets wait for the GM's call. And yeah, there should be space, just act like your character was alone all the time, and didn't talk to anyone.. then it could work :P

[DreadPirate]

Yeah we have space I just advise getting a cs up soon before you fall behind also hmm... I mean technically it is completely fair since I didn't force any deck on anyone. EDIT: PENDULUMS are banned so some of the new decks are pretty much handicaped. Also the option for a staged duel is still in effect so if wanted any deck could defeat any deck no matter the power. It's also an option to actually duel in which case it's the Rpers own choice! If there is a dispute between choosing staged and simulated let me know and we can settle it :) handicapping somebody for using a newer strategy doesn't really seem fair to me. If majority can decide on a fair handicap for newer decks then I guess I would allow it. However I would just like to point out I am using an old school deck and I still believe I can hold my own. :)

[Krein]

Alright then, everything seems good to me if that's the case :). However, it might be difficult for me to make a CS now if XYZ are banned. Most if not all of my decks are XYZ based... would it be possible to make an exception? The XYZ mechanic is easiest for me to use, and while I have a (mostly) synchro based deck, it's similar to that of another character's deck from a yugioh rp I used to be in and I don't want to make it seem like I'm ripping them off or anything should they happen to stop by. I mean, I made the deck by myself yeah, but I'd rather use a character that follows and uses a different formula and deck, you know?

[Scarifar]

Wait, Xyz are banned? Damn, better edit my 6 Sam deck.

[Ploxerdon]

Wait XYZs are banned?! Damn.. didn't even realize that :o 12 or 11 of Emily's cards are xyz, and Aono has quite a lot of xyzs too

[Krein]

It might be better to allow XYZ since it seems many of the decks here use them as well. If it helps this case any, I do remember that the GM of a different Yugioh RP banned the use of Number and Cxyz monsters. I personally didn't agree with prohibiting the use of the usual Number monsters since they aren't too bad (most of the time), but I don't think anyone minded their Cxyz counterparts being gone considering these ones are the crazy, pretty much broken cards.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

I swear XYZ weren't banned during creation of the RP itself. You're throwing a massive wrench into everyone's plans all of a sudden lol.

@Krein

Banning out Numbers is too much, cards like utopia aren't that bad.. Could deal with cxyz being gone. Lets just wait for the GM's call.

@Ploxerdon

That's what I was saying, I didn't agree with banning the normal Number monsters but was fine with their Cxyz versions being unallowed.

[DreadPirate]

Yikes! Don't know what I was thinking I meant pendulums sorry everybody! I edited it! And also what are Cxyz? Sorry if that's a rather daft statement to make
