The Duel Tower: The first year students. (A Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Academy Roleplay.) [Axed]

As Leander tried to pick up the cards that were scattered across the floor, he could feel a familiar grip nearly crush his arm. "Who gave you permission to touch those?" the older student asked, still seated in their casual manner. He shoved Leander back a bit further and picked up the cards himself. The older Dark Dorm student didn't care much about how bent the cards seemed to become as he forcefully made room in his pockets to push them all in. Only the cards he didn't throw on the floor got a spot in the deckbox on their hip. A red-haired student entered the room and stormed over to mini colonel, shouting some nonsense at him whilst trying to help Leander to his feet. The blue-haired boy jerked his head upward, snickering slightly. "I'm a student here. Fantastic," they snarked.

The student got off of the chair and looked down at Megan, though didn't get aggressive like before. "You just said 'we're all students', right? Forget it. This school's a prison, and the damn staff all know it. Being stranded in the middle of nowhere with no place to run or go, they damn well know they're keeping us caged like rats." Mini Colonel averted his gaze, looking over the entire cafeteria instead. "You all damn well know it, too! Don't pretend you don't. They're passin' this off as some prestigious academy, but all they're doing is makin' you play by their rules. Every single one of you is an idiot if you didn't see that yourself. And-" The lecture was cut short when the student felt a hand on his shoulder, looking back. Two academy security were standing there, their piercing gaze apparent even through their black sunglasses. "...Fine, I'm leaving. Don't want to stick around these weaklings anyway," the student dismissed the guards, who escorted him out of the card shop. With the departure of that boy the entire shop erupted in chatter once again. This time, the chatter was a lot less about rumors but more about who in the world that was for the first years and grim talk about 'how he's always like this' for the second and third years present.

Angelo and Andre managed to arrive at the dorm floor at the same time, surprisingly enough. Both witnessed a duel in progress that was blocking the way to the first year dorms, though it looked to be nearly over. It seemed to be between two students in purple jackets, one female and one male, though the male looked to be in a much more dire strait. "My three Marauding Captain! Slice him up real good with a Direct Attack!" the one with the upper hand commanded, and her monsters did just that. "Guaaah!" the losing student yelled for some reason, collapsing on the floor soon after. The winning student deactivated her disk and walked over to the loser. They picked up one of the cards from the losing student's deck that had scattered across the floor and put it away. It's then they noticed the other two, her face going pale as she softly whispered "Shoot!" to herself, before bolting off past them, straight back to the Dark Dorm's hallways. Angelo and Andre were both left with three options; Check the unconscious student's status, chase the female student or ignore them both and go back to their rooms like originally planned.

Ethel had to sigh, none of the past three duels that had taken place were any good. None of the duelists showed any true potential, not in the same way she's seen a few others have. "Boring," Ethel told herself and didn't bother to stick around to see the conclusion of this one. She left the Turbo Duel arena and took out her D-Ceiver. Seemed like there was still a bit of time left before the next class... How annoying. The girl needed something to take her mind off of certain... things, but didn't get a chance to. Everything was too boring. Pocketing her device again, Ethel exhaled heavily as she made her way back to the main building. Her muscles were still stinging from those past three duels, signalling her that she'd massively overdone it. Ethel cast a sideway glance into the open desert and caught a glimpse of something off in the far distance. Her expression didn't change, but she did linger a bit longer to get a better look. All she could make out was a silhouette. It kind of looked like someone was... running along the tower's axis? Well, she didn't bother to think about it.

Ethel slipped into the main building and briskly walked over to the elevator, pushing a button for it to come down. After a few seconds, the doors slid open. Ethel's normally expressionless face twisted into an expression of shock, because she saw someone collapsed in the elevator. A glance told her it was that girl she'd tripped on the second day, and her instincts told the girl to scream. Luckily for everyone involved, she didn't. Ethel carefully took a step or two back from the elevator, then ran off towards the receptionist. The receptionist was startled when they saw the girl run over, asking what's wrong. "B-Body..." she managed to stammer out, pointing at the elevator who's doors were still open. The staff raised an eyebrow and went to check it out, only to find Hayato collapsed inside with some rather serious injuries. The staff quickly pulled out their own D-Ceiver and contacted the infirmary, whilst also telling Ethel to calm down and take a seat. After a few minutes Hayato was safely inside the medical office in one of the hospital beds, being treated carefully for those electrical shocks.

<Snipped quote by Ammokkx>

Hmm.... I dunno. I'm not really sure if paying Life Points is how Nova/Parshath operates. I'd much rather use a discard cost, since Parshath are about drawing more cards. I wanted to keep the old effect, too, but then I wondered if it would seem too OP, since it would act like a Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner.

@Scarifar

Thing is, fetching ANYTHING you want out of your deck? That's like, 10x worse. The old effect is fine with a lifepoint cost. Just maybe not THAT lifepoint cost.

The Duel Tower: The first year students. (A Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Academy Roleplay.) [Axed]

Taking a look at Nova Sanctuary again, I can't help but feel that it's just not right, especially the 1000 LP cost. It doesn't suit the Nova/Parshath playstyle. So, I'll make some edits:

Name: Nova Sanctuary
Trap type: Continuous
Effect: While this card is on the field, this card's name becomes "The Sanctuary in the Sky". Once per turn, you can discard one "Nova" or "Parshath" card from your hand, except "Stellarnova" cards; Special Summon one "Nova" Fairy-type monster from your deck. If you control a non-Synchro "Parshath" monster, you do not discard cards to activate this effect. You cannot Normal or Special Summon other monsters the turn you use this effect, except Fairy-type monsters.

Thoughts, guys?

@Scarifar

Hm... I like the old version better, though maybe the lifepoint cost could be knocked down a little. Maybe to 800 or 600. Seems like a better idea to me.

@l0ck0n still open for that history collaboration.

I'll get a post out either today or tomorrow, whenever I feel a spark. 'been relaxing now that school's over, so I don't have the motivation to do much of anything that requires effort for a little while.

Fallout: Terror of the Everglades

In fallout 4, there is a perk called Ghoulish. This allows the player to use radiation to restore hp just like a ghoul. it does nothing to affect the look of the player.

@MarsAdept

Oh, and by the way, Ghoulish still kills the player if they accumulate too many rads. And I don't see him dying of rads.

EDIT: Okay, this is really bothering me too much. I think I'll just exit stage right and relieve myself from the frustration. Have fun.

Fallout: Terror of the Everglades

@POOHEAD189 I count 39 S.P.E.C.I.A.L. You've still got a point you could spend.

Fallout: Terror of the Everglades

@POOHEAD189 I very clearly did the first. I never accused him of not playing the fallout games. Yes, my wording is strong, but I never made a personal attack. All I did was state facts.

Sugarcoating my opinion isn't going to help me, you, nor the guy I'm speaking to. Making your opinion come over less fiercely than it is only leads to you getting ignored. 'Treat others the way you would like to be treated', right? I don't mind being treated the way I treated Voltus, because it's fair.

Fallout: Terror of the Everglades

@Ammokkx@Voltus_Ventus

Ammokkx, thank you for being true to the lore of Fallout. You are right there is no one who is half ghoul, half pure human. the body could not allow it. The necrosis would poison the living half. However, Volt seems to have gotten very lucky with how his body decomposed. Only part of his flesh looks ghoulified. This does not make him half ghoul, this makes him ghoul. He would behave completely like a ghoul when considering environment. In fallout 4, there is a perk called Ghoulish. This allows the player to use radiation to restore hp just like a ghoul. it does nothing to affect the look of the player.

@MarsAdept

Fallout 4 is a mess, but I digress.

If only part of his flesh is ghoulified, but his internal bodily functions aren't, then he shouldn't be considered a ghoul. That's a scarred human. There isn't anyone that just looks like a half ghoul because that's just not how ghoulification works. Your body decomposes wholly, and when you stay in radiation for too long after that point and get unlucky, so does your brain. He has shown to clearly live in a power plant which is irradiated, making it so that the rest of his skin would decompose as well.

I will say that this isn't a bad argument though. If you can shoot down this one of mine, I'll yield.

@ProPro If you're putting up something publicly, you should be open to public criticism. If someone had called me out for my character having survived a deathclaw encounter and given valid reason, I would have taken that and changed it even if they're not the GM. If you're going to base something off of an established, canon universe the least amount of respect you could have is actually following their rules. Sure, ti's just aesthetic, but it's also just aesthetic if I wanted to play as sentient, smart deathclaw. What? That's not allowed because not possible? Then why is a half-ghoul allowed? Lock out one thing, lock out the rest.

Listen, I know I may come over as a prick for doing this. I'm very much aware of that fact. But I take the attitude I would like to see everyone take; unafraid to challenge someone's ideas even if it may paint you in a bad light or hurt someone's feelings. If an idea appears to be wrong, and no valid reasoning is given for said idea, I am well within my right to call it out. I do not take things to PM because it's not a PM issue. If you put something out into the public eye, the public can also judge it publicly.
