I got an invite to the Action Duel Tournament.

I really wanted to go and take part in it, but...

... I declined.

It really sucks, but, it's the same month as finals and there's no way I'd be able to concentrate on both.

I had a lot of fun doing the Entertainment Duel at SAI with Yuzu! And it seems everyone there really enjoyed it! I'm really glad you all had as much fun as we did!
Though I think the best reward was seeing the huge smile on Tomoko's face afterwards!

Today, it felt like I made another step in being closer to what my dad could do with Entertainment Dueling.

I've got good news! Action Duels with Action Cards are now an option here at the Academy! Akaba, Reiji came to the Academy himself to ask more about it and he told me that it would be implemented here and at various LDS locations as a test run!
Action Duels without Action Cards are still available, for those who feel more comfortable using that setting.

I'm really excited to be able to start using Action Cards and to see how others like them. I've got how they work listed in my journal a few entries down, but if any of you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I officially sent off my idea for adding Action Cards to Action Dueling to the Leo Corporation this past weekend after working on the idea in what spare time I had. It was a lot of work to figure out how to include them and make them balanced so people couldn't misuse them, but I think I managed to work it all out.
The basic ideas I had were:

* I decided to remove the effects of the Action Fields and instead replaced them with the effects of Action Cards. The field will serve as the stage and once an Action duel begins, action cards will scatter around the field. Then during the duel, either player can pick up the cards in order to use them.
* Action Spells can be picked up at any time and either can be used straight away, or can be held onto for later. They can also be used for discarding effects!
* Most Action Cards are spell cards and are designed to help a duelist when they're in a pinch.
* I decided to add a bit more of a thrill to picking up action cards and also suggested introducing Action Traps, which, unlike spells, where you get to choose when to activate them, an action trap will activate straight away once picked up and may very well work against the duelist that picked it up. These are much rarer though and maybe specific to certain fields.
* You may only hold onto one Action Card at any given time. This is to stop people finding and hoarding them for use later on.
* There is a set time limit in which a duelist can go looking for an Action Card. This is there just so it stops someone trying to stall a duel to search for an Action card.


Since I was still unsure about changing something my dad pioneered without being able to talk to him first about it, I suggested that this version with the Action Cards should be a separate mode from the current way Action Duels are set out. This way, I could see through this idea, but also preserve what my dad created. I talked to my mom a lot before I sent off the idea and she felt that my dad would of really supported my idea and told me to go for it, which I'll admit, gave me a lot of confidence to finally send the idea off.
The Action Card idea won't be able to get off the ground if I can't get someone who knows how to code the real solid vision system to take interest in it, so now all I can do is wait and see if I get a reply.

Other than this, I also got the official go-ahead for both the formal summer dance event for early summer and the barbecue event for late summer! I just need to work out details and the dates of when I'd like to hold them.

What happened to Yuma and Akae last night was crazy. It's terrible that they were attacked by someone, just because they have those 'Number' cards. I can only hope with the information they were able to get that someone can stop that person before he tries to attack anyone else.

Anyway, I guess I have loads of other stuff to post about!
First of all, I'm really glad everyone enjoyed the tea party! I had a load of fun running it!
I'm actually thinking of running two events during the summer months, since the summer is really good for events!

The first event I'm thinking of running is a formal summer dance in early summer, maybe around late June. I want to try an event with a dress code, just to see how it goes and what people think of it, and the dance floor at both the Christmas and tea party were really popular!

The second event is a barbecue, which I'm thinking of doing in late summer, around mid-late August. I figured it'd be nice to run an event just before we have to do our finals for the year! The head of the Ra Yellow male dorms said he'd be happy to do the cooking for that.

Let me know what you think and feel free to ask any questions!

I guess the other thing I wanted to say was that I'm kinda working on the possibility of adding Action Cards to Action Dueling!

To be honest, a part of me is hesitant, because, well, Action Dueling is what my dad pioneered. It's what he worked so hard to create and I'm a bit unsure if I should really be changing it, but I really feel like Action Cards could add something to the experience of Action Dueling.

It's a long shot anyway, since I'll need someone who knows how to mess about with and code the real solid vision system to add them in, and to do so, I'll probably need the help of someone from the Leo Corporation, which made the system and they might not even take a second glance at my idea.
I'm going to be planning out everything over this weekend anyway. How it'll work and such and then I guess I'll send the idea off and see what happens.

I really hope everyone enjoyed watching our action duel today! Yuzu and I had a lot of fun showing you all how action duels work, as well as the entertainment style of You Show Duel School!
