Arena and Shadow Duels

Not much happened that was planned to do in this update, seeing how the academy been very slow and almost dead, we have decided to take a break for a month and after a month we will try again.

We've tried our best to keep activity up but since Wolf_Shadowrider couldn't get on to recruit due to his internet, we couldn't keep activity up. I couldn't really recruit as I've gotten a lot busy with school work and stuff. I tried my best to keep activity alive with the event "Referring/Inviting" but no one ever tried to recruit.

Thanks for being here while we was active. We will try again in a month time frame.

The forums will still remain up for anyone who wants to try to help out.

Until next month, this has been JamesSkullBlood and Wolf_Shadowrider signing out. See everyone in a month.

Thought Process:

At the moment, it seems very difficult, if even possible, to acquire duel points. With Arena-based dueling, there can be set terms and conditions for each duel. These terms and conditions must be set by a duelist and/or a participating judge in the matter.
Making duel points more accessible through arena duels may boost moral because having more means the possibility of spending more, which can be a fun, little side project for some, if not all, of the people at ADA.

What It Is:

An arena duel is a duel in the academy where the winner would be awarded duel points.

Rules For An Arena Duel:

The challenger will set the terms / conditions of the duel (Time, whether or not it's TCG/OCG or a match or single), but the challenged party will be able to ban up to two decks (Example: True King/Draco, Pend Magicians) from the arena duel. Doing this allows fair and possibly fun gameplay for both parties because the challenger is getting priority of the type of duel they wish to play, but the challenged party can choose what decks they'd prefer not to play as.

Of course, this is all a general basis for it, the challenger/challenged parties can decide their own set terms and conditions.

If there is a dispute (Ruling, social, etc) between the two parties in the arena, the parties will have two options:

1. Talk to someone who would be neutral in regards to social standings, and/or talk to someone who is qualified to judge Yu-Gi-Oh to settle the dispute.

2. Cancel the arena challenge.

Awarding Points & Confirmation:

Let's say for a single duel win, the winner gets 25 points. The winner of a match duel (2-1, 2-0 would NOT matter), the winner gets 75 points instead.

The winner would need to post the duel recording, and the other party's name in order to get the points. In regards to verification, the poster would need to provide a screenshot of the challenge and confirmation of the challenge, with the terms that the two parties agreed upon (this can be lenient, as long as they have the challenge confirmation). The screenshot(s) of confirmation can either me put into their own separate post, or can be posted in the replies of the results of the arena duel.

Without some form of confirmation, points will not be awarded. No exceptions.

Shadow Duel vs. Arena Duel:

Arena duels are meant to be a casual way of dueling for points, earning some, and dueling amongst peers.

Shadow duels, on the other hand, are inherently more dangerous. With that in mind, I believe Shadow duels should have the same terms and conditions as Arena, except for one big thing.

Instead of having a set amount of points awarded, points should be set up for a wager. The challenger sets the number, and, if accepted, the challenged party would accept the number. (For example, if James Skullblood challenged Brandyn to a Shadow duel, James would wager 500 points. If James wins, Brandyn would lose 500 points and James would gain 500 points.)

And that's a suggestion I have, just to make things a little more interesting.

I totally agree with you, Yoruichi Shihōin.
Not only will this allow academy members to gain DP faster and more efficiently;
It will allow duelist to have a more firm grasp on opportunities for prized challenges
and more experience with putting a cost on the line to further their dueling experience.

As I stated; I agree with the idea and encourage for James and Wolf to take into consideration for implanting a Arena Duel as well as a separate Shadow Arena Sub Forum into "Duel Points" Section.

I also want to suggest and give my recommendation to allow Yoruichi Shihōin to consult with the Founder and Co-Founder about setting up this Suggestion and Implanting it into the ADA Community and setting up the Official Rules/Prizes/Banlist/etc.. and any other piece of information that will make this 100% efficient.

I see there was a lot of consideration and time put into that suggestion, and it seems like a good idea. I see no reason why it shouldn't happen. Though as you may know, we have switched from weekly updates, to Bi-weekly updates and as such as may not be doing anything about this for quite some time. Then again this may just be a small change we'll make at a random time without shutting down the site but I can neither confirm nor deny that. Still it IS worth considering, so we'll let you know if the situation changes.
