Bringerofcake Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Ah. I understand you now. While the possibility remains open, the character I designed was meant for the tournament, and thus wouldn't work right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 *headdesk* Trap Dustshoot? You used Trap Dustshoot in an RP... Actually, you just used it WRONG. The correct way to use a card specifically timed to activate before they do anything is to use the Trap before they even TRY to make a move (at the end of YOUR move), especially when there's nothing they can do. It's less awkward. A card that lets you see your opponent's hand is also, at least in my opinion, a twinge overpowering for one reason: Your opponent must respond by revealing what's in their hand. Even if they don't (via a post), your character should now know everything that's in their hand. Falling for their traps now makes no sense unless you're specifically baiting them. You should know their strategy for the next turn and be able to read their move with ease. Nick will not be doing that unless Zai reveals Kane's cards to the public (because you're not Zai).

BANZAI!!!! Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 well, akne made his whole move before nick activated it, so they did a re-wind and he selected creator without needing to look at his hand. problem solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 That would be along the lines of Mind Crush. Trap Dustshoot insists you look at their hand before picking a monster. But Kane making his whole move is what the problem is with using a hand-affecting Trap during the Draw Phase. I more find it annoying because it's so...well, STUPID. If it was a RL duel, it'd be fine (because...it's RL. Duels are luck of draw/skill), but I assume that everyone improvises the cards they have in hand or facedown (or have a general idea of what they'll be). Why anyone in this scenario would improvise Trap Dustshoot over...Bottomless Trap Hole, for example, I'm not sure, and the added effect of hand peeking looks twice as bizarre in an RP, again because most f/ds are improvised. It's also possible I just like to complain because there are some effects I feel are bad/OPed in an RP scenario (and I'm not fond of Dustshoot in a RL scenario). Though avoiding an awkward scene like this is why I had Madeline use Aoi to beat Kane instead of waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANZAI!!!! Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 the site has a spell check too, just right click on the mispelled wordMaad: accepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a coffee Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Evil, I know how to use my cards, thank you. Not to mention, I'm not new to this OR Zai's deck. I know the exact strategy he's going for and the most important thing was to get rid of the creator right then and there, and since evidence was already provided that he had the card in his hand, you should buzz off. Honestly, that irritates me to no end. Let ME duel. Not you lecture me on what you think I did wrong. Keep your nose out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghoulish Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 kk thx, now i just have to figure out how im gonna come into the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ΕεΔδΛλΙιΡρΣσςΕε Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Meep, I've tried to come into the story, but I think the colors are repelling others.Unless I didn't read correctly, Saviero made his presence known, stated he was going to side with O.E, challenged the 4 of the E-6 that were there, and then was completely excluded from any duels or confrontations beyond that point...

.:Blu:. Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 well I'm a person to blame because I'm guilty of not reading other people's posts that I think I'm not involve with, so.... Ain't I a stinker? JK.... Anyways, yeah, my bad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bringerofcake Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hmm...Well, I can either stir up some internal drama, or I can put my E6 character into play. Would either of those options suffice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ΕεΔδΛλΙιΡρΣσςΕε Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Yay for internal drama! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bringerofcake Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Right. That'll happen tomorrow. But, actually, thinking about it, I'd also need to make a few edits in a few places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I have no clue what to do. I'll leave it up to Evil to pinpoint me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a coffee Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hey guys, I hope you all had a happy 4th of July for our US base and for our EU and otherwise members... SLACKERS! Anyway, we will continue posting either late tonight or tomorrow so, keep tight! The plot is starting to move, I promise you this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I would've posted, except that everyone in this rp decided to gather at the SAME PLACE. 2 story duels + 5 of the 6 there and ALL of the sins there = BAD. BADBADBADBADBADBAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ΕεΔδΛλΙιΡρΣσςΕε Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 ... You're right. That does seem like something that should happen... Very close to the end of the RP rather than the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 So basically we're nearly finished? Sweet, the second Yugioh RP EVER that ever finished I've ever seen (The first was Return of the Arcadia Movement, long ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I doubt we're nearly finished. Don't forget the plot had to be refocused. What Eclipse means is that everyone gathering in one spot is something expected at the end, rather than so early into the plot. Anyway, I'm engaged in a game of 1001 coin flips.

BANZAI!!!! Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 no..... We aren't NEARLY that close to done yet. I'm moving things along... provided i get time to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 If you can't get time, then the RP can't get time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANZAI!!!! Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 the plot movement will be done by tommorow. trust me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Aside from all plot movement isn't 100% dependant on you. Therefore there is no guarantee you can provide, and therefore no motive for us to trust you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANZAI!!!! Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 true.... but being stuck where we are isn't good. And i'm moving the plot away from "where we are" literally and hopefully proverbially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Honestly? You blokes have 0 dedication and patience. Wasn't it a freaking holiday for you guys yesterday? Chill out, honestly. Not to mention, you can't blame Zaifire for having to scramble, YET AGAIN, because you brain surgeons though it would be a great idea to congregate. Honestly Fusion, there was no reason for you to push Madeline and Tyson into the area, as well as Cake and Blu-Dawn. JZ was already really close and Nick needed a partner, so it made sense, but to have ALL THE OTHER SINS THERE just made no sense. There wasn't even anything worth doing there for them! You could have focused on development and flushing rather than coming over and stabbing a steak knife through the back of the rp. I, personally, completely exclude Zaifire from all applicable blame, because he HAS to provide plot movement or something like THIS will happen, or NOTHING AT ALL will happen. I hadn't realized independent thinking was so hard to do now a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
