Horu

I get the point of stocking up. But say I have a 20oz Dr Pepper in my fridge and I go to the store to buy a 20oz Dr Pepper only to go back home and drink the one that I just bought. (This is more the discussion that we were in)

Again, not sure what the dilemma is here. If you feel like buying the same drink and drinking that instead of the one you already have in the fridge, then that's your decision, but you don't have to if you find it unnecessary. I have no reason to explain to you why you would in the first place, nor why you should.

Yeah. It's just one of those odd things that people do. But I have done it too and I often ask what purpose did this particular action serve and what made the drink in the fridge so damn special.

Or is it vengeance?

Everyone's equal in Batman's eyes.

Except Catwoman. Batman always lets her go. Guess he really likes chasing that...

What? There is no way bruce wayne is the batman lmao.

Pretty sure Bruce Wayne is Iron Man. You're thinking of Magneto.

Batman isn't German

did i say you could speak to my child

Merely wishing them a happy birthday.

You really think so?

I mean, it'd be pretty interesting, sure. Pretty much any deck today that can pull off a 20 card combo would essentially become an exodia engine if there was no banlist.

Yes. It helped a lot. I was so exhausted yesterday that I think I knocked out for like 6 hours as soon as I sat down.

ayy, that's good

Yeah. I'm working right now. Just have one room to sell by 2am and I'm pretty well set.

Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, and Dark Magician are all based around very popular monsters that have existed for two decades now, and they only have so much support because they've been peppered with it constantly over all that time. Archfiends are an enormous mess that combines the first take of them being Chess RNG, the second take that tries to make them a proper archetype, and a helluva lot of random cards that just happen to have the name (including a ton of Summoned Skull retrains).

Dark Worlds and Lightsworn are both archetypes that Konami has done multiple takes on, so that's why they got so many cards as is. Stardust is weird in that it isn't really much of an actual archetype, just a bunch of support for Stardust Dragon.

Blackwings (and Performapals definitely) are just a giant fuck. They just have way too many cards what the fuck are they even doing.

If you're really set on making a whole entire 20 cards, then do so for an archetype that doesn't have just one playstyle. Something like Nordics since they have 3 boss monsters but they all are summoned using completely different combos. That way you can support all 3 bosses, maybe make them mesh better with one another.

I can agree with this. Just trying to avoid a big mess of an archetype. Hence why I'm not willing to make a full deck of one-offs for an archetype. I can do it but it more works when it's done in a way that is fluid and allows the player to switch up their strategy based on their draws.

Then why are you saying you will make 20 cards? 20 cards is a big mess of an archetype.

They would just be a 400 point boost over a Metalmorphed Red-Eyes or Zoa. They would be more situational than Equips such as Axe of Despair while still offering less of a boost. Plus they dead draw really hard. They would need even more going for them in order to be useful cards.

If you put them in the ED with the same summoning conditions, which isn't really something Yugioh did until many years afterward, then a mere 400 point boost would be more ok as you never have to risk dead drawing them. But it would still just be a 400 point boost, an upgrade over Metalmorphed Red-Eyes/Zoa for sure but nothing that I think people would absolutely want to build their decks around.

(Also this is entirely based off of old-school Yugioh fwiw, there's like no way you could make Metalmorph viable after that without absolutely breaking cards)

My status replies are too skinny aaaaAAAhhhhh

The problem is Metalmorph only gives a 300 ATK/DEF boost + 50% of the ATK of the monster it attacks. REBMD and Metal Zoa only get a 400 ATK/DEF boost and they lose the entire point of Metalmorph.

I'd be fine with REBMD being a Lv8 2700/2300 with the 50% ATK boost under it's current summoning condition. But as is, it makes a good drop for those Lv8 Ritual monsters.

Sure thing, Cow. That's likely all it is. Honestly mean no ill will towards anyone. But finding a way to communicate that might be easier said than done. I'll figure something out though. Thanks for the input and thanks for your opinion. I'm likely just the monkey in the middle breaking my brain trying to get everyone to get along right now. Yeah, I've changed my objective since taking time off. I still have 26 days to figure out how to get everyone to get along. Also, trying to accomplish this without help from mods/admins. Thing is, while I feel I made the right decision, it seems like I just can't get my friends to get along. I'm just trying to bring my friends back together. My goal is to be here for everyone. I'm not showing any bias and I'm going to help whoever needs my help regardless. Anyway, sorry for the rant, Cow. I'm just thinking about something Roxas told me. I've actually been thinking about it and I know he wouldn't lie to me. He has no reason to. But objectively, my loyalty has always been used to against me. I'll never turn my back on anyone and I'll usually pay for it in the end. But that's just who I am. Stubborn, yes. Loyal to a fault, yes. Honest to a fault, yes. Will I tell the truth or speak my mind even if I know it's gonna blow up in my face? Yes. The thing is, I'd rather tell the truth and have it blow up in my face than to stay silent and let somebody else take the fall. I told Roxas and Giga. And now I'm telling you, Cow. If you ever need my input on anything at all, just message me.

Gentle reminder that this isn't OTHER FORUM and bringing stuff up from there isn't appreciated. A side comment or something of that like is passable, but this type of status just engages those who are "targeting" you to engage and bring the situation from OTHER FORUM to here.

We aren't going to act like OTHER FORUM doesn't exist, but we can separate their issues to the best of our abilities.

Also, I'm not sure status is the best place for this kind of long form discussion. Lengthy posts don't sit well with the formatting lol.

Sorry about the rant. What I said applies to both forums. I want to be here for the community as a whole if possible. Can't do that if I'm never present here. So I do have a lot of changes to make on how I operate. I really want to be here and offer help wherever it is needed. Again, apologies for the long rant.
