Let's see let's see.
Well first of all; Hello, for those of who who don't know me I am Loci, I am the leader of the Memento Clan and at the behest of PrincessFairy (I know her better as Aria) a co-founder (I don't think co-founder works here but I don't know if there's a term for 3 founders) of this Academy. Let me first tell you that your words have not fallen on deaf ears. I understand what is being asked for. You guys used the word "competitive". Though I believe (if I understand correctly) the proper way of putting it would be, that you want something to strive for. You don't want to be stagnant when it comes to events. So like many before you, you have arrived at the "Dorms" idea. However I propose an alternative;
I believe a simple challenge/ranking system shall be more of a fun way of doing things. Though I feel I should elaborate on how this would work.
1. To start the founders of this Academy will all duel each other which will set the first three slots (as shown below).
1.PrincessFairy
2.(Memento)Loci Kittie
3. (I actually haven't met the 3rd founder to my knowledge) ^^;
2a. After the first three ranks have been determined this starts a ranking structure and this is where you come in. You start at the bottom of the ranking structure and work your way up dueling each person. (match style duels only as to avoid the probability of shit hands) so it'll look like this;
1.PrincessFairy
2.(Memento)Loci Kittie
3. Messiah (we're going to put Messiah here for now since he's a huge poster here)
4. You
2b. If you happen to win the match against the lowest ranked person (in this case Messiah) you are to screen cap each win/loss of the match and report them to PrincessFairy or Messiah (if you are dueling Messiah then report to PrincessFairy and the reverse if you are dueling PrincessFairy, this way no foul play may occur...not that I think any will. It just prevents drama.) If you take your win, you will be moved up in the ranking structure as shown below:
1.PrincessFairy
2.(Memento)Loci Kittie
3. You
4. Messiah
Closing statements;
I believe that this structure will allow a challenge that can grow exponentially allowing duelists from all walks of life to come together and find strong and worthy players while helping newer players along the way.
The predicted question;
Q. What if your opponent is unavailable or doesn't respond to you?
A. I propose that if an opponent does not respond to your message or is unavailable for a 7 day period then you win the match by default. Be sure to provide evidence that you have attempted to contact the opponent via private messages on the academy page.
If I have missed anything feel free to respond and ask questions or just simply vote the idea up or down. I'm very personable and won't judge anyone else's ideas harshly especially if they are better than my own. XD
Happy Dueling and may the cards draw ever in your favor.
^ think I stole that from something...not sure but if I did can someone please tell me so I can go watch it again? Thank you
