If tournaments (i'm assuming knockout) get bad results, why not try a league type thing instead where you would get points for winning, but can't be removed by losing constantly, you just stay at 0 points. I like this idea. If the reason why some people wouldn't want the tournament is that they are afraid they'd lose and just be out for good, this is a good solution. As a way to keep track of points though, actual objects could be used (like star chips and locater cards were in the series), except you're not out if you have none. The only problem I see with this system though is to find a way to have people duel someone that has nothing to wager. To remedy this, it could just be an organized tournament (by the school or something) that matches people up (randomly or by some system), so that people would always have someone to play against. Of course, in this one, we would have to have a set number of rounds and at the end of the last one, we tally the results and best record wins.
And actually Derrick, there are four dorms if you include Violet. They don't have many members (understatement), but... since all they need is one rep, it shouldn't matter that much in your idea. |

As for the idea of a big corporation or something trying to take over Duel Academy, it's interesting, but I don't get the logistics of it. For one thing, Kaiba owns Duel Academy and I doubt he would allow it to be taken over in a manner such as that. For another, I don't know what the students could really do about something like that. "Hey, I want to duel you so you don't take over our school!" "... No, we'll just take it over, thanks." QQ Lol, yeah I see your point there. There isn't really anything the students could do about that, other that do a petition, and even then it would help much.... Actually that's already happened in GX when Manjoume's brothers wanted to buy the school. Instead of some corporate arguing, he told them to duel a student of their choosing for the fate of the school. So yes, Kaiba would go for something like that if only to amuse himself and laugh in the faces of anyone who tried to buy the school. Yea Judai, you may have missed it but the whole 'tournament into chaos' happened in the LAST plot to terrible effect. I thought the tournament was successful since alot of members participated. The "into chaos" part....not so much. I looked through a lot of old threads of people who participated in that tournament. More than half the threads asking for duels either never got posted in by challengers, or didn't even finish. Hell, two of the finalists in the tournament were played by the same person. It was a spectacular failure. |

Ah haa! It doesn't have to be a takeover my dear Ashley! I knew you'd guys be thinking about that being done! It's actually highlighted in my notebook, and I must say, I'm proud of myself because my pencil was burning today when I was thinking of stuff. Mwahahahaaa! Fear not as I have taken the day during my work break to eat ramen with my open notebook, highlight many different perspectives of your views and have compiled it into something cool. …yes people, I do this kind of thing for stories. Remember by motto, “Roleplay and Long posts are my orgasm.” I have no life, I love to write for those who do not know. Now then…summarized for the sake of simple suggestion and proper kudos for those who given me a bases: ---------------
Notice of Demolition
Duel Academy has become a targeted site for controversy. With the recent “Attacking Card Game Monsters“, as well as “Magical Dimensions colliding“, and also rumors of “Witchcraft“ people have focused their attention on the school, its founders, and supporters. The last event to set off the public is the unfortunate death of a said figure at the Academy which is enough to send the people into the uproar.
Unfortunately, it is officially out of the hands of Seto Kaiba, the founder, and Maximillion Pegasus as political powered figure has emerged from the shadows of the world and baffled their arguments to nothing more than simple excuses and conjecture from the truth of the Academy‘s purpose. Left foiled, Seto Kaiba and Maximillion Pegasus are backed into a corner and their hands are forced: They must exile all of Duel Academy‘s Students and the school is forced to close down and face what seems to be a destined demolition.
However, they will not let things sit here. One final proposal has been made and it is to prove the Academy is more than what is “rumored” to be worth; a fine institution to teach children and not a trouble among the Earth itself. Past and present students of the Academy have arrived from branches and corners of the world in order to resolve this problem by proving this political figure that they can do what they do best…
Duel!!!
Will our students stop the closing of their prestigious Academy? Will they get to the bottom of the mystery of this said “Death” and find out if the public is right…or perhaps there is a larger scheme behind this incident?
Who is this figure that threatens the future of this Academy? [/I] -----------------[/center] Okay, points: ~This plot involves everyone…EVERYONE…who worries for the Academy’s future. Job carriers, traveling duelists, and students alike who want a school to teach the finer points of their beloved game. ~I’ve used Jun’s base as well as the base for Non-Magical request from the students. ~No one will be overshadowed because there are three plots in this one story: The Mystery of the said “Death”, The figure who needs to be investigated and pursued, and I think I’ll toss in Issy’s “Deck Stealing idea” by saying that corporate supporters of this figure are dueling and taking decks from students who resist his declaration to end the Academy. ~ Not a note, but get off my case if anything negative. I’m trying and I highlighted as many details as possible, and I think I’ve made this as flawless as any plot as I try to come up with while taking in everyone’s input. ~Last but not least…I need comments and thoughts on this, and if I missed something, please tell me. |

How can you duel in here? All I see are postings. I don`t know if you are the right person to ask but please help.

Personally, I think this is a nice mash up of everyone's input. And it definetly could include everyone that wants to be a part in this plot. As well as the fact it involves duels, but doesn't involve a tournement, with the whole 'resistance' thought from Issy's idea, were people can get knocked out and discluded from the story.
I'll give you a moment of big-headedness. I take my hat off to you. I'll honeslty admit you have written a great summary idea.

Ooh, Judai, me like. Nice, original plot that can include everybody in not just one huge thread looking to fight the same guy.

I see the bold part as a problem. I don't know about it really. It's all on your opinions really. I just lay cards on the table really. I'm a dealer and not a player when it comes to this "planning" stuff. Besides, give yourselves credit. My summary is just a compilation of your ideas which I had a good time putting together since it was like a puzzle for me. |

I think your idea is perfect. I don't see anything wrong with it, but that's just me...

Well, either way, you had to put it together, which takes some thinking too. It was a group effort, but still, you did your part and did it well. ^^
We'll just see what other people think now

Because you haven't figured out a way, I'll throw out my suggestion.
Big Ugly COOPERATE People want the school to shut down. BUCP are usually fairly cunning, and so when they see that dueling is going to stop their plans, what do they do?
It's fairly obvious to them. Without a deck, one can't duel. Do the work themselves? Nah, employ some stupid grunts to do it and make sure it's untraceable.
This adds a mystery complex as well as the aforementioned deck theft idea. Also generates some actual antagonist roles.
Orlando should be the evil head corporate guy that wants the school to close down... what a twist that would be. He has the $$$ for it too.
~Creeper~

Well...since I'm not going to be doing any of this deck taking, it could matter less about me since I won't get the complaints.
Other than that, this outline sits well with me. |

Well, we could just have it be goons that don't know a thing about duel monsters, like in Duelist Kingdom. So they just use brute force or something.
-.- I don't know. But I do see your point.

Very nice, J. I think this is definitely something we should go with. Additional generic praising.
I wouldn't mind making one of the deck-stealing goons either. But you are right in that there is the problem of people losing their decks and becoming useless. I think the best thing in that case would just be to have people keep dueling those goons. Eventually, every one of those goons will lose and the winners will get to take the decks (and hopefully give them back to their owners). Meanwhile, the deckless just get to watch the duels and cheer and... I guess they could work on investigating the death or political figure as well.
The thing I'm more perplexed about is why the political figure would want to go through all of this trouble of dueling these kids. As he already has everything going his way, he should just let it be demolished. Let these kids challenge him to duels, he knows the magic word, "No."
To give a reason for the above, maybe the figure's true goal isn't actually the demolition of the Academy, but a search for something. I'll PM J a possible idea for this and see what he thinks. I would just post it here, but... if it actually becomes a part of this, it will be much more fun for people to find out as the plot progresses.

Hell, two of the finalists in the tournament were played by the same person. It was a spectacular failure. Hahaha....so much for looking at the brighter side of things. But your point is a valid one. I like Jaden's plot. It does include everyone from what I've read, so it'll be easy for someone to join in right away. I also like the fact that besides the "secret threat", the antagonists aren't really evil at all. It pins the academy against the public, and it makes it look like the people who are defending the adademy are on the "wrong side". I'm assuming that the goons will have there seperate account so the only small problem would getting people to actually RP as villians...but I doubt that would be much of an issue. (Also would "the people" be led by the US government or a global organization such a NATO?) |
