Dueling: Reboot

[Hadan Winters]

All duels have a new set time limit for 24 hours. It will be easier to keep up with. If I see a lot of timing outs, I might extend it to 48 hours. But let's hope that it doesn't need to go that long.

If I'm reading the rules right, if you get to 0 points, you lose the match. So why does getting hit by a spell give you extra points?

Excuse the noobishness,

Getting hit by spells gives you points because points are how actions are performed - so doing things you wouldn't want to happen helps you do things you do want to happen, and doing things you'd want to happen prevents you from doing even more things you'd want to not happen. Think of points like a currency. You don't want to work, but that gives you money. You can then spend that money to buy the things you want to buy - which makes you work again.
At 0 points the assumption is your opponent just casts stupefy, it hits you, and you're done.

 

[James Adams]

So why not just not defend yourself and stack up a load of points which you then send at the other person when they're on 0?

this is what i am sure Teigs' technique was in duel 7. she almost won the match without firing a single offensive spell.

 

[Nadia Kaster]

Well you can, but if they shoot you with like Stupefy or Any of those spells that stop your character from battling (excuse the Pokemon reference) then you're gone. It's like a trust system. We expect a certain level of participation, a give and take if you will. It's all IC. What would your character do? For example, for a substantial amount of time, my character Willow, defended herself and refused to use offensive spells.

[James Adams]

Ah ok...I have a clearer picture now, thanks for all the help guys!

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

I need a better way to keep up with the dueling people. Starting to get a little clustered. Anyway, another post for a reference page.

[Lowan Kickett]

Rhiannon and Willows duel has been finished for two days. Rhi disarmed Willow. and thus she was unable to continue.

 

[Hadan Winters]

....Wow I need to edit that.
Or read it. Sorry guys. XD
​

 

[Professor Cyndi Kingsley]

Preston hopes Tybalt whips Sergei in the match. That is all.

 

[Sergei Zhefarovich]

Already, Sergei starts things a little...heated.
​

 

[Nimue Bevin]

Heated... is not the word i would have used
​

 

[Hadan Winters]

At least he didn't try to make Tybalt explode.
​

 

[Belladonna Metzger]

Belladonna got her butt whipped.
​

 

[Nimue Bevin]

Isn't Confringo an explosive spell but?
​

 

[Sergei Zhefarovich]

Yeah. Sergei tried to cause the explosion near his feet, and injure his legs.
​

 

[Nimue Bevin]

Oooh, I didn't read that part
​

 

[James Adams]

Unlucky Jessye - i hoped you'd bring in a win there

 

[Pandora Metzger]

Unlucky Jessye - i hoped you'd bring in a win there

I knew she wasn't going to win. Belladonna is too clumsy and careless to duel all that well just yet.


Haha Teigan thought that Sergei was going to try and blow Tybalt up!
Man that would be scurry. ​

 

[Tybalt Archer]

I'm fairly certain if the ground exploded at his feet he would've been pretty badly hurt....Perhaps not explode but badly hurt....
​

 

[Nimue Bevin]

Well why not? I was enjoying watching Vladimir try to kill Belladonna
​

 

[Sergei Zhefarovich]

I'm fairly certain if the ground exploded at his feet he would've been pretty badly hurt....Perhaps not explode but badly hurt....
​

Let's just have Tybalt lose so that they can be friends afterward.

NEVER...

[Belladonna Metzger]

​

He nearly succeeded too!

"Can we be friends?"
"No, you tried to blow me up!"
"....only a little."
