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

[Krein]

Yeah uh... I'm pretty sure most if not all of us can agree that Nekroz aren't exactly decently strong. There are other decks that fit that description that, while powerful, can't just generate advantage like nobody's business and easily find solutions to problems. Even if you didn't intend to use Fubuki in many or any duels, I doubt giving her a meta deck was the best call. Other than making the already mentioned power creep (and opening up opportunity for others to do the same), it's not going to sit well with anyone that there's a "police" character not controlled by the GM that's extremely hard to beat and can just stomp on everyone else. As for Joseph... I don't think that "OCG/TCG" existed in the anime, so I'm curious as to why you even brought that into the RP :/. At least in my point of view, I don't think that something like that will be too difficult to overlook or change. Heck, once you change his deck you can just make something up by saying he had certain cards that until just recently, "weren't released from the OCG" yet if you still want to go with that. I'll agree with you on that tag dueling thing, it really has made the RP slow down to the point where it'll die pretty soon if it isn't jump started. Perhaps a pseudo reset is necessary. We don't need to start from the beginning of course, we can just restart right when the Khan makes his morning announcement to the duelists. Other than changing the whole tag duels to regular duels, it'll give you more ease in remaking your characters and whatnot. If we do that I can still manage to add in Ava and Lyall's duel against each other so that with it, things will go off with a bang.

Hey guys, still here. Even though I said I'd quit, I'm not exactly the type to give up on an rp that easily. Still, this rp is still on the verge on death, and I will leave for good if it comes to that. A pseudo restart sounds great, and I may even join back if things run a bit more smoothly. Might also change Alexander's deck, cuz I'm not feeling all that great for the Six Sam anymore.

@Scarifar

Great to hear, man, I was hoping you'd stick around to see if things will pick back up! By the looks of it, a pseudo restart is where we're headed. Would greatly reduce the clutter and coherence issues we have at the moment, and would re-open CS and deck evaluations for everyone currently involved. We'll likely need a new thread for that though, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

[DreadPirate]

Sorry I didn't reply last night I was waiting for this to play out before I made any decisions and ended up passing out :P. I will restart the thread tonight? If that's okay with everybody. I will also appoint another co-gm :)

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Wait, complete reset? If so I'll probably get to redrafting my characters asap. I'd also think Krein should probably grab the next co-GM slot. Probably a good idea.

[DreadPirate]

No more like a reboot. With re-evaluation of charas and decks. A bit stricter this time. You can keep your charas just decks will be changed basically and yes we will pick up when The Khan announces the tag duels and will change that part to regular. :)

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

A reboot? Can I still make some new characters to replace my current ones?

[DreadPirate]

Of course :D

[La Inquisidora]

So people helped me with a deck and if this thing is still legit in down to RP.

[Haru Nyan]

So, uhh...I came back from MUA. From what I can gather we are: Restarting, two have dropped out and uhh...some other shiz. Did I get all of that right? D'aww, I'm keeping my two Chars tho.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Yeah, sounds about right. Would Volcanics post-magazine be okay? Krein? Edit: Scar ain't leaving, mb.

@PKMNB0Y

I'm currently looking into and about to playtest the deck. I've only faced them once before but I've read that they went undefeated at a YCS and apparently have their own themed Raigeki and ways to recycle 1500 damage. Let me get back to you on this.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

I think that was more because that they just came straight outta left field and can crash into Killer repeatedly with Counter in the grave and burn the enemy to death post-Scout searches. Magazine gave the deck a way to drop Scattershot in the grave and recycle it with Firestorm Guards, so I think that's their big power play.

That left field statement came to mind not long after I posted my previous post since people at those type of tournaments would only ever expect to see the accepted meta decks of the time. Anyway, after some testing and discussion with UE, we've decided that Volcanics are in the clear :). Fun deck by the way, that Scattershot play is hilarious to use! Oh, and speaking of UE, he told me that he would be happy to offer his abilities as another Co-GM for the pseudo-reboot. He's a good candidate for that I think, and would be able to take over when I or whoever Dread appoints as the new, first Co-GM isn't around.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Hooray, time to draft up a character to use them with! You think Geargiagear should be allowed at 3 in the deck if someone (namely, me) chooses to run it? Auger's been released and all that, so... I'm not sure of the resolution myself- more of a rulings and monotonous work kind of guy lol. Edit: 'more than one' may be an appropriate fix.

@PKMNB0Y

Geargias seem alright by me, but what resolutions and "more than one" are you talking about? Geargiagear itself though, that should be kept at 1.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Ah, that's what I meant. Just checkin'.

[DreadPirate]

So I was about to make the new thread when it hit me... How are we going to do this? Just start completely over and basically speed run our way up to this point again? Or re RP the whole thing? Because if we received a new member let's say, and our IC just starts with the announcement it's kind of.... meh.

@DreadPirate

I thought that we were just going to start at the Khan's "K everyone duel each other" announcement :/. I personally don't see anything wrong with starting this way, all we need to do is explain that our current members' duelists have been at Regno for a few days, have been dueling every now and then since they've been there, but just now are beginning to get into the actual tournament and plot for the RP. It actually might be helpful for new members for the RP to start in the middle of things, that way they can immediately get in on the action or have an opening for their character to approach and interact with another one.

[Scarifar]

I was thinking we just skip all the way to the first day of the tournament, and we pretend some of our characters have already met some others. People can pm each other for details n stuff for that, and.... yeah.
