YuGiOh: East Academy -- Discussion Thread

@Lucky: 8000, of course. This isn't Duel City.

@desdendelle If you have been busy, I understand, but I did not get a pm from you with my draw card and I just want to make sure I did not already get it from you and just accidentally deleted it and did not notice.

Whoops, sorry. Thought I PM'd his draw. Will do now.

Not a problem.

Yeah. Since I'm over here at Israel, I've to stay up at night to catch you awake. That isn't a problem normally, but since I woke up at 0630 yesterday...

That is rough. What time is it over there? It is 12:20 PM for me.

Now it's 1928 hours over here. I'm seven hours after you (you're in GMT-5, I'm in GMT+2).

Hey Nick, would you mind having Art explain to Roxas how Xyz Monsters and Summoning work. I want to use that as in story justification for Roxas to make some changes to his deck that I want to make.

Alright, I'll explain with the next XYZ summon he makes.

Or, if you want, Sophia can explain. She's a teacher after all.

Yeah, can she explain, then?

Will do. Might take a while — I'm writing a signup for another RP.
Also, this is worthy of everybody's notice.

Some exposition will also help me. I can't quite get my head around those. Which is pretty bad when people use them on DN. No idea of they're breaking rules or not.

Exposition posted.

The Yu Gi Oh wiki is good for explaining the rules of individual card, for anyone who needs it.

For now, Art is trying to bait out the defense traps, if there are any left, so on his next turn, he can paralyze the back row.

Any particular reason you're not going for direct attacks?

Correct time, correct place. I have a combo I am going for that will ensure any direct attack will go through.

Just so you know, luckybreak, I'm really digging Roxas and his interesting approach to discussions.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I am really enjoying Roxas myself. He is a blast to write.

Hi all! New player here. Just wanted to say hello.

Hello, and welcome to the RP. I haven't mentioned this before, but there are a lot of people here that I've never seen before... I hope we can all get along well.

I just realized that Nick and I are the only two to have been in every one of these R Ps. At least, I think he was in the Inqui's one before it went kaput.

This is going to help my ability to roleplay the smug asshat. Which is my favourite character archetype to play.

I'd like to make a request here, specifically that we change the rules so that we're using the anime 4000 LP per player (and on-the-fly modify cards like Heroic Gift and Life Stream Dragon to have the appropriate effect). My reasoning is thus: Firstly, it'll make duels take a much shorter time, thus preventing one duel that is taking a long time from hanging up all the action elsewhere. Secondly, I think that having such lower life-point totals makes duels a bit more dramatic, because it's more likely that one strong attack could knock out a player than in the OCG/TCG game, where duels can really drag out if both players are having less strong hands.

But my main point is the time problem.

Hm... Well, having not ever been in a Yugioh RP before, I can't really be certain, but it does seem like you might have a point about duels being able to drag on with 8,000 Life Points. On the other hand, it's entirely possible to end up losing before you can get off the ground if you only start with 4,000, which doesn't really make for very fun or interesting games.

The second point doesn't really concern me very much, since I'm certain there will be chances for such powerful and dramatic moves regardless. But the time issue is the bigger of the problems, like you said, so it doesn't really matter.

Anyway, I'm on the fence about the idea at the moment, though probably leaning more towards keeping the 8,000 LP starting point (mostly because I'm use to playing in that manner). I'll wait to see what other opinions present themselves before definitively going one way or the other on this one.
