    oh, that's not all. there's also the thing where we keep exchanging threatening roar's/waboku's until someone gets killed. non-random also limits the use of defensive decks, one half of the entire game. non-random is simply spamming threatening roars, wabokus, and S/T destruction until someone runs our of cards and loses. if I actually cared, I can be almost unbeatable without anyone being able to complain about it.

    on a side note, you do realize that we're doing this in matches, right? that lowers the chances of it happening since it's a best two out of three instead of just one duel. I understand what you're saying, but this gives people chances of winning rather than it being too one-sided.

    What fun is there if both players start the duel knowing that the good guy has to win? Much more interesting for all involved if there's always a chance of defeat. The first part was a tournament. Anyone could have made it here. Now we've selected for the deck that is most likely to win *coughexceptforthepeoplewhodiedoftimeoutcough* and least likely to die of bad luck. Now brook has probably come up with plenty of challenges, many featuring characters like Snow, who are run by other people thus allowing everyone to still participate, that Ren will have to get through if he wants to win and get a good ending. It's like if you were playing a video game without saves.

    Brooklyn has it all planned out, cchiillll.

    Also, Yeah the Good Guy always winning is much more suspenseful, isn't it?
    You realize that sounds like me saying The color Yellow is better than Blue because it's darker.

    That can all be avoided if people simply just have a PM convo and then plan the Duel out and show restraint during it.

    It's still fixed.
    This way you don't know for sure the good guy is going to win.

    But the bad guy isn't supposed to win...What if the RP has a bad ending?

    what's so bad about having a bad ending? the point of doing random duels is to have it be less obvious. it also makes it more realistic.

    WTF? Because bad endings are not a popular thing...How many times do you see them in shows and movies? What is this I don't even...

    How would you feel if you were playing Sacred Stones and you were doing great, and had made it half way though the game, making skillful tactical decisions and taking risks, and had managed to get through with your only loss being a few characters dying tragically to save Eirika, But you were in a bad situation, and you hadn't realized that the enemy wyvern rider had equipped javelins, so they knocked Eirika down to three health.. And then a myrmadon moved in to attack with 89% hit, and 33% critical, with enough damage to kill.. And missed with both attacks. Then next turn, three enemies attack Eirika, all missing. Then to test something you had eirika charge and do the entire battle herself, and the game wouldn't let anyone hit her because otherwise you'd lose. Then you have to continue playing the game knowing that Eirika is completely immortal.

    I think that sounds pretty epic actually. Aside from the fact that I'd wanna keep everyone alive so I could see all their endings. Having to play through the rest of half of the game with Erika alone would be really tedious though. Aside from that it'd be pretty epic. I love it when the protagonist of something comes out of the fight beaten and bloodied and barely alive winning by the skin of their teeth. It just makes it so epic. Onesided fights are boring. Imagine if in the Yugioh animes if all the time the protagonist always OTKed the villain on turn 2 because they got a dead hand. Nobody would watch the animes if they were like that. That's why I think it would be better to do this by planning the Duels out and showing restraint during them. Although considering you guys don't have luck near as bad as mine I guess this will work.

    Exactly my point. One-sided fights are boring, and there's nothing more one-sided than a thrown match. If Eirika could solo am army, and win by a lucky dodge, that would be epic. If Eirika could get knocked down to 2 HP in the first turn of the fight, then spend the next eighty turns going through every sword in her inventory trying to beat something with heavy armor that was dramatically stronger than her, only winning because it's 67% hit chance would never hit because otherwise she'd lose, that would be really lame and boring. The reason the lucky dodge win is exciting, is because it's random. You get worried that the attack is going to hit, or that your 3% crit firing is the only way to win, which is suspenseful, and then when it turns out well that's cool.
    When you watch Yusei getting kicked into the curb by Z-One there isn't much suspense as to who will win, but there is the suspense of "How could he possibly win now?" that makes you want to keep watching, and makes it cool when he pulls out all the stops and summons Quasar. That's fun to watch, and rarely occurs in random.. But for it to happen in non-random, you basically just are constructing a duel playing both sides. It's not fun to play, but it might be fun to watch if played as a tense battle. When it does happen in random though, it's brilliant. There's nothing more amazing than being stuck hiding behind a single monster, then getting a lucky draw and through some complex combos somehow pulling together a win. Especially if you barely have enough damage to finish them, and have almost no LP left.

    Edit: for those of you not familiar with Fire Emblem, a character that is not heavily armored, like Eirika, can go down in two or three hits from a reasonably strong enemy. Weapons all have a durability mechanic where after a certain number of hits, usually around twenty iirc, they are destroyed.

    Is my time still ticking? because it's been nearly 24 hours since I responded to this, and unless I get a more detailed description, or some way to progress, i can't do anything else at the moment.
