As to that question, why not grant a one week (7 day), or full dueling week, of each sport where new participants are granted reprieve of being modded/fancied/Foci. I realize this now ventures more toward the General OOC boards. This grace begins on creation date, not on first date appeared in Chat.

I raised a question.

Yes, you did help but undertones of mockery and claims of it being my own fault led to the ultimate decision. Maybe you should not be ambassador to first responses.

And no wonder why your player base is dwindling.

I am no exception to the rule you are stating, but treating any new dueler as a potential upper echelon dueler can be dangerous. I was never ranked above M@A, Ruby, or Wizard in the respective sports. From what I'm getting with the backlash I was better off minding my own with other games. I got cur...

By that logic any new character is a former Diamond/Overlord/ArcMage. Let me show them who I am by flexing my muscle.

Key word.

"New".

Not everyone is a reincarnation of the same old player.

New means New. Should I break out Websters for you?

Both of you are missing the point. Point - New dueler Joe Bloe. First night dueling wants to try the game out. Read the posted rules. Doesn't know about checking standings to see who is ranked as what. Get's a duel and while losing his opponent fancies/feints to pad the lead. That now falls on their...

So basically. Screw you. Got it.

I still have to come back to my original question. You as a dueler are ranked higher than the person you are dueling. The newcomer doesn't know about standings or that they should check them. You on the other-hand know you're an Emerald and that name doesn't appear on the standings or is ranked Glas...

Is there any way to get the link you provided added to the "Community" section of the RoH homepage? For a novice clicking on the DZN link shows some nifty information, but without the link you provided a player would have to know to click on the "Caller Tools" tab. At first glanc...

Those offer nothing other than moves and rules guidelines. It's a trial by fire, and the firing squad is a win hungry bunch of upper ranks.

Basic question. Did you ask, either IC or OOC, that the Emerald and Ruby you were fighting refrain from using modifiers? A Sapphire or below that's dueling is still trying to make top rank. You should *expect* that they're going to use their fancies in an effort to push themselves closer to Emerald...

I've been around the block a few times. I'm not new to the dueling game, but something really irritated me tonight while trying to duel in the Outback after being gone for a couple of years. In the room were no low ranks or below. I was the lone punching bag but I wanted to duel to get back in the s...
