CALLING ALL DUELISTS

[AIDS]

We at Fantasy believe in the spirit of competition regardless of what the game is so with that in mind we are having a big Yu Gi Oh competition.

This Saturday 8th July at Fantasy V, #37 Henry Street, POS (Upstairs House of Hair).

This is a PC tournament though. We will be playing Yu-Gi-Oh Power of Chaos.
This is the PC version of the game with network play and you are allowed to export your deck from home and bring it to the tournament.

If you do not have a deck then we have unlocked ALL the cards so that you can assemble your deck before the competition begins.

1st Prize: One (1) Gaming PC courtesy the Whizz Computers so come out and try your luck.
2nd Prize: One (1) Game from any console of your choice.
3rd Prize: 50 FREE HOURS AT FANTASY 5

For rules, registration and info contact: 786-2057, 768-5254, 678-5683

whoa???

Is that prize for real?

A computer?

That would make it the single biggest prize for any local tourney to date. (remind me if there were any bigger)

Not bad at all.

[New Era Outlaw]

Well. This certainly has my attention.
Just a few questions, though:

1. By 'Power of Chaos', you mean the 'Joey the Passion' version, right?
2. Is the Forbidden list in effect?
3. Isn't this Saturday a bit too soon to announce a tournament like this? I mean, given the prizes, I'd give duelists at least two weeks to spread the word about this first.
4. What's the entrance fee? I think most duelists like to know that upfront.

[SPK]

Hmmm...interesting...

[AIDS]

The info has been circulating for more than a month now I just didn't have time to post it before.

Yes it is Joey the Passion and there is a ban list.

The entrance fee is $100.00.

If I forgot anything or you have any other questions then don't hesitate to ask.

P.S. I am not an employee of Fantasy so I will be playing and I am looking foward to a good challenge so I hope we do get a good showing.

[New Era Outlaw]

Cool. I'll try to pay a visit today and check out the scene for myself.

[AIDS]

Here is a sample of the info that has been going around.

[TriniXaeno]

nice hype aids.

should have posted it before though. Hit Neo a kick for me

[AIDS]

I know i know. I have to kick myself.

I've been passing out the info and i completely forgot to post it on the forum. In my defence i have been very busy lately.

Anyway, all who are interested in trying their hand at a brand new gaming rig should contact Neo at the previously posted numbers and arange for registration. We would like to know by at least Friday how many people we catering for.

Thanks again.

[SPK]

Well just letting you all know, you can just about count me in on this one.

Though @ offering a gaming rig for 1st prize isn't that hard with an entry fee of $100, especially with sponsorship. Most tourneys otherwise have to pony up their own prizes from their own pockets, and hope that the entry fees can cover it. If I could get sponsorship though, then you will see some serious prizes for tourneys being held!

[einstien101]

i will see if i can make it but is the ban list the official ude one or have u made your own

[SPK]

Hmm..I'm not sure what they using...

But I'll have to see if there are any quirks to get used to in that game (use of players' priority, chaining etc). Cuz otherwise I may be in a bit of bother...although we could see if the tourney can be sanctioned for ratings if they so wished...

[einstien101]

nah i doubt, but also is the card list from ONLY joey, or are the complete card lists from all the versions being imported and used. oh and SPK the game would be missing many rulings, eg. last will.=/battle postition changes=/

[SPK]

Indeed, that is a concern of mine...will the card sets from all the POC games be used, or just from Joey? Also, is the banlist being used a custom one, or one present in the game etc?

[AIDS]

The card list is from all 3 of the POC games. You are allowed to bring your own deck from home of course or you may build a deck prior to the competiton on one of our machines. (ALL CARDS ARE UNLOCKED).

I am not sure but i believe the only cards that are banned from the game are Exodia and FINAL. All else should be fair game.

If we can make it a sanctioned tourney then we shouldn't have any probs with that but i don't know if the PC game would count.

In addition to that, we need to have confirmed registration by Thursday. We looking for around 20 to 30 people otherwise the tourney will be postponed. I don't really want to wait another week for this tourney so I need you all to call and register no later than Thursday please.

Thanks again for your show of interest and your support.

[SPK]

Well how many people have been registered so far? If anything tell them to count me in for sure, not sure if I'll be able to call though...

[AIDS]

I don't have the exact figures but when i pass through the cafe later I will let them know that you have confirmed.

[einstien101]

Well i contacted the place and i suggested you use YVD seeing that its much more versatile, up to dat, and with spk there you have a competent judge to explain modern rulings.

[New Era Outlaw]

I am not sure but i believe the only cards that are banned from the game are Exodia and FINAL. All else should be fair game.

Last I checked, the banned list for Joey: The Passion was the original ten cards that got banned in Japan:

- Raigeki
- Harpie's Feather Duster
- Delinquent Duo
- Injection Fairy Lily
- Yata-Garasu
- Cyber Jar
- Fiber Jar
- Imperial Order
- Painful Choice
- Change of Heart

Unless the banned list is fully customisable, that is, in which case, banning Exodia and FINAL only will make NO sense. Any duelist who has run these in competitions knows it's a pain in the rear end in assemble these to win, whereas it's -much- easier to hit with Raigeki, Feather Duster and Yata and win instantly (via forced forfeit).

and with spk there you have a competent judge to explain modern rulings.

True, but that point's moot considering that we're playing on the computer. Ergo, modern rulings won't apply even if he's there. We'll have to take what the game says we can do. And YVD's a bit tricky (probably even near difficult) to set up unless they have it configured for all of the computers already (along with IP addresses for all opponents).


AIDS, I'm not terribly sure if I'm coming to this one.
Tempting as it is, this was advertised way too soon to net the number of people you want to get.
I'll still try to spread the word, but I'm a bit skeptical (especially since the people there told me that they were considering postponing the tournament yesterday.)

You should consider having registration on the actual day of the tournament, because 3 days (Tuesday-Thursday, working days, to boot) is not enough time for people to know about it. For all we know, some of the duelists could be at their jobs, far too busy to look into this until it's too late. Whereas, if you had registration on the morning of the tournament, people can simply come in and go through one time.

[SPK]

Setting up YVD wouldn't be that hard actually...lord knows me and einstein have enough experience using the software...

Cuz the LAN has been set up, so they already know the IPs of the PCs being used....it shouldn't be much problem across a LAN really.

To set it up should really take about an hour once we move like clockwork, and everything will be to the level of a true tournament.
