This isn't like DnD where campaigns can take a really long time so it makes sense that people from far away can roleplay when it's convenient for them to. Text duels is pretty much a waste of forum space. You could just use MWS and it would take less time and effort to play. it's not like DnD where you've just got a character sheet and the posts are the actions. In magic you need to have your cards all laid out and ready to go and leave them there for as long as you need. Plus, since people cheat all the time why the hell wouldn't you cheat in this text duel bs?
It's basically retarded.

It gives players a chance to see other poster's decks in action. Also some people, for whatever reason, can't or won't download MWS.

Question: does anyone not have force of will when they need it in a text duel.

it's kinda pathetic that you are following me around. it's not even that you're trying to troll me, you're just acting like a prepubescent 12 year old boy.

I played several text duels, but this was back when I had a dial-up connection. I would constantly get disconnected from my opponents. I was never able to finish a game. One day I was finally able to maintain a stable internet connection and actually play a full game. But I started losing the game. So...I cheated. Just an extra land here and there and other small things like that. But it was enough for me to win the game.

I would rather grind to 80 in a text duel thread than play a game a magic, and I'm not even joking.

how do you grind a warcraft character in a text duel thread?

I'm just using it as an example to show how mind numbing text duels are.

well grinding is really what pokemon and runescape is. so it can't be thaaat bad.

Text duels are retarded, use the metaphor of your choice.

Everything is retarded in some way if you don't like it personally

No, I don't like cricket, but I can see the potential appeal.

08-14-2009, 01:23 AM
but you don't like it for a reason. even if you wouldn't call it retarded for that reason, it's a reason of negativity.

What? Okay?
I'm saying that magic text duels are patently retarded, and not just because I don't like them. Even if I liked them I would admit that they are hopelessly slow for the information age, and there is very little actual magic being done in them.

underground sea, lotus, jet, demonic tutor, ancestral, fow, something blue
play lotus, sea, mox, and ritual and sac lotus for bbbbuuu, play demonic for yawg will, play ancestral, pop will, b floating, replay lotus, pop for uuu, ritual for bbb, ancestral again, demonic for tendrils or just tendrils if you already drew it, lalala?
Iono, text duels would always go like that it seems like, and even if it was legit I'd be irritated I wasted three days posting to have that happen to me.

This way you can post and still just check back every few minutes. Also you can't do multiplayer matches on mws. Thought it takes forever so you'd best be doing it in an aim chatroom
