 ...Okay, look.

 

I'm the first to admit I've been out of the game for uh.

 

Five years? Five years.

 

Are duels just fights now.

 

I'm confused.

No. They're not supposed to be.

The whole current gimmick is you run around a giant Field Spell for the entertainment of the audience to make Duels more high contract/exciting and not golf.

The problem is a bunch of jerks from Russia and some School from Maiami are taking "Run around and try and deflect your opponent from getting cards means snapping their legs."

[wherethewildthingsare]

Oh.

So thugs.

[blackrthanblack]

Essentially using the sports version of "It's just a prank, bro" as a defense.

It's 'fair play' as long as no one dies, practically.

[wherethewildthingsare]

...

I see.

[blackrthanblack]

Yeah. Trust me, it isn't that great. Even Marias' at least saves that dumb knee attack to once per Duel so at least she isn't full dipshit about it.

Though, that Crusher guy and those Ryozanpaku guys...

[memoryistime]

Not usually.

Just there's some very specific people who treat it like that.

[wherethewildthingsare]

....It's allowed?

[memoryistime]

It's... complicated.

You can attack the other person to disrupt them, but there's limits to it. Thing is, recently, those limits have been pushed a lot.

Which really just makes me dislike Action Duels more, but I wasn't really keen on them in the first place, anyway.

[wherethewildthingsare]

....

That doesn't seem very smart.

So people are defaulting to assault to disrupt the opponent?

[naturalcure]

If you're good at it, yeah.

[wherethewildthingsare]

...

Do you want a training menu?

[naturalcure]

A what?

[wherethewildthingsare]

A plan.

So you don't get your spine broken.

[magmaheart]

I'm thinking it's more like. Chess boxing.

With street fight rules on. And you can't completely knock out your opponent until you finish them in the duel.

[wherethewildthingsare]

That sounds fucking stupid.

[magmaheart]

It really is.

At this point I think I'd be safer if I went pro boxer than pro duelist, because boxing has more rules.

[wherethewildthingsare]

....Don't you run a cafe?

Won't your mom kick your ass if you slack on that?

When Action Dueling started up in America, there was always some crossover. When people figured out physical contact to gain an advantage was allowed, it started becoming the standard pretty quick. Plus, y'know. Combat sports are a 4 billion dollar industry, so. The audience was into it too.

But in America, there's always an inherent respect for your opponent involved. Nobody wants to put anybody else in the hospital because we're all colleagues.

Vesik and his advocate clearly don't care about that.

[wherethewildthingsare]

Yeah, that's the problem, isn't it.

Boxing has those guys too.

So can anybody actually beat him?

[darkworldknight]

Pretty obvious he's going for the championship, so I guess we'll see.

[wherethewildthingsare]

...Great.

[hardcorebestcore]

Word on the street you're the job man.

The man with jobs.

[wherethewildthingsare]

....Jesus christ, he's fast.

[hardcorebestcore]

Demon brother seemed excited that you would try to hire me so called while I was neglecting homework! He devolved into mad cackling near end of conversation. Think it might be stress getting to him.

Refused to give me waitress part time, because last time I even looked into back of restaurant, broke three plates.

[wherethewildthingsare]

..How old are you.
