Thursday, April 11, 2019 Alerted to an incoming emergency from the on-call line, Doctor Eva Luna was waiting out front of her clinic when the Prius carrying a wounded Michelle pulled up along the curb. Before anyone got out, she motioned the driver to pull around to the back alley where it would be...

Eva and Mason will be joining this event as a team.

I shared, and continue to share, a lot of the feelings expressed in Hope's original post. I was pretty let down after Hydra, and then there were quite a few other things that came out of DoS leadership that have left me feeling frustrated. I'm not connected to everyone on AIM, but in the days leadin...

Been following along quietly. Only hitch I may see or have noticed when tournaments or event duels tend to run on the same night as regular duel nights there is a sizeable conversion of duelists to spectators happening. Nothing wrong with that. Awesome to see people come watch duels, but when a lot...

Gretzky said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take". That tends to apply here, as silence isn't likely to engender the positive change you (general) want. This is a good point, and a good reminder for me. I do still worry about the impact of some of the more negative comments (inclu...

Yeah, just to echo what Bob said, for me the reason why I found IFL (and team tournaments in general) so draining is because even if I'm only fighting once a week, those are some pretty high-pressure duels. In addition, I had the weekly decision-making responsibilities of a captain, and as a teammat...

It's been brought up that rewards and punishments should be structured to encourage or discourage certain behaviors. The harshest punishment that shames human error and embarrasses players...certainly provides incentive for players to make sure everything is on the up and up. If it hasn't been clea...

I feel really bad about doing this, but given that a lot of this discussion has come down to what is actually written in the rules, I think it's worth pointing this out. This is cut and paste from the Universal Terms of Challenge section: 3. A challenge is not considered complete until the results a...

...Could there be a first time slap on the wrist without a stripping? Yes. ... As a comment. If such a thing were to be considered, does it apply to the character? Or the player? In the former, in theory a player could "get a warning" multiple times because they used different characters....

I feel like what people keep doing is trying to change what dueling is, or what a specific sport is, to make it more palatable to new people, with a real focus on 'feels'. Interestingly, nothing that's been said here has had anything to do with new players. This is a discussion about something that...

Just to make my position clear, I don't think activity matters in determining whether a rule should be applied. Either it applies to the situation, or it doesn't. I think we're all pretty much agreed that the rules should be player-blind. When I raised the activity level of the players in this case,...

Sylus, if people didn't care about this then we wouldn't be talking about it. I don't think it's fair in one post to point out that someone takes holding a title seriously, and then in a following post to be dismissive of their disappointment at losing that title for a reason that has been heavily a...

Looking at these two cases, Matt and Hope, I would say that a first-time probation without any additional penalty (losing choice of format or the right to call for a test) is more than sufficient. In Matt's case, we have a situation where maybe he was engaging in behavior we might like to discourage...

Of course. One of the issues with the DoS rules is that in many places they're completely open for interpretation and because of that you end up with confusion. The only "right" answer is whatever the Coordinators decide amongst themselves. In a way, this point is a little funny because e...
