The Numbers War - Yu-Gi-Oh ZeXaL Discussion

Numbers can't just change hands like that unless they are unbound. Not bound. Whatever. That and the process of turning is immediate but drawn out. Also painful, but that's not relevant to the current discussion.

...-facefaults-

I don't think you understood me >_> How do the duels work here? Who decides what cards we draw and how are those cards picked?

Well, we have two ways of doing it.

1. The usual way: I PM you guys your hands and it is done 100% in thread.
2. The optional extra way (as suggested by Plumbum): We do it over DN and then roleplay through it in thread.

Let's just do it in the thread, I am horrible at using DN. Besides, it's more fun this way. Also, what would be the point of making the life points 4000 to shorten the duels if we were gonna play over DN anyway?

So yeah, I vote for option one. The usual way.

Point: Why would we give a Number back? I mean, the whole point is that we're trying to collect them, and if someone loses, sucks to be them.

And Duel Ghouls actually duel, yes?

Let's just beat them up. They don't have numbers, there is no point in dueling them. I have a knife, we also have a giant Russian dude.

I vote thread.

Krika: That...seems kind of dickish. Just abandonin' someone 'cause they lost >_>

And the only reason we aren't doing it to each other is pretty much safety in Numbers. Somewhere along this ride, there is almost certainly going to be enough party conflict that we'll end up doing some dueling against each other. It's sorta just how I assumed this was going to go. I mean, your character might think that way, but your Number almost certainly ain't gonna want to do that

There's also really no point in even doing this RP if we duel each other. There's seven of us, so if Evii also played we'd basically just have a standard 8-person 3-round tournament where seven characters die in just a few hours.

@lucky: Fighting the Duel Ghouls is definitely a possibility. The issue is that they tend to travel in large packs, so you want to avoid being overrun. Also, due to Khaos being a giant dick, once a D-Gazer has locked onto a target and sent the request for a duel, the Duel Disk automatically registers this as an acceptance of terms and starts up the duel.

@Krika: Intra-party conflict is something that's obviously going to happen, yes. If it gets to a point where people are actually dueling against each other in the party, Number theft is a possibility. However, duels involving more than two people mean that Numbers cannot be taken due to being able to split the damage between duelists.

But yeah, please try and avoid dueling one-on-one within the party if possible.

So... we just have to put a hand over the eye with the D-Gazer to walk by the horde without any trouble, is what you're saying?

I mean, party conflict is pretty bad, yes. I'm just saying that trying to help someone who lost isn't necessarily what think it's what someone would do in this situation, as well as that I'm am about 99% certain that there will be at least one player-on-player duel at some point.

Everyone gets a duel anchor!

Everyone.

No but seriously, the Duel Ghouls have no Duel Anchors. It really just is Khaos being a troll.

So how difficult will the first few duels be? Easy, Medium, Hard? I'd prefer it if we were broke in softly.

COME ON! GIVE US SOME FIRE FISTS!

Nah, I'll be using weakened versions of my sillier decks on DN. So nothing to get too worried about.

We should probably ask the duelist what rank Number card he has. No sense taking a Number we can't use.

Any Number is useful in the sense that we are actively collecting them.

True, but it would be nice to have one we can use plus it would help choose who gets to duel.

You wouldn't let Naoto fight someone who had a Rank 3, would you?

I just figure, if you're gonna be risking your life in a duel have it be for a card you can use. If not, let someone else duel who can use that card.

So who wants to take on this sissy knight? I wonder what Number he has...

Edit: Also how are our hands determined? Random Number Generator?

Yup. I'll send you hands and such and it plays out over the thread.

I feel that... my character and this guy have a lot in common.
