5 days, 1 hour.

Sorry this blog post is for people who have money for BYOND, next please.

Wow, Firefox guild has lived long enough but has barely gotten any recognition. Anyways, if anyone wants to actually create a key for the Firefox guild feel free, I might be able to get a hold of a membership, but for now I think this key isn't right to be hosting a guild.

Firefox Personas are a selection of easy-to-use skins for your firefox browser. So far they have a selection of quite a few popular skins.

You guys should check it out.

Before you go saying my marks are ridiculously high and biased, please, read my reasoning.






Yu-Gi-Oh is sparsely covered on BYOND for 2 main reasons:

1: People can't be bothered with the graphics
2: Coders find making the code nice and automated for each card tedious.

Duel Monsters Unlimited is one of the few Yu-Gi-Oh games on BYOND and it also appears to be the one putting the most effort in. On connection to a server, you are greeted to a well-made login screen, that simply requires a click in the middle to join the action.



Once you log in, you find yourself at the Spawn Point, the central hub of the game.
The Spawn Point is always bustling with players, so you can be sure to always find someone to duel.

DMU's dueling code allows players to be anywhere on the map to duel, not just in arenas. As long as they are standing with 5 spaces between them, they can duel. Upon starting a duel, all possible options you need are posted at the top of the screen. This shows, of course, that this game isn't for the beginner in Yu-Gi-Oh, but more the advanced player.

It's predecessors had many unique features too, such as DMO's automation, but not a system that made the player have complete control over what they were doing.
DMU's un-automated style of dueling allows players to control exactly what they want to do when they want to do it. For example, a constraint with DMO's system, was every time an opponent made a move, a pop up was given about you wanting to activate trap cards. When this comes up 5 times a turn...it gets old fast.


The graphics on this game are purely stunning. All original, each and every card has it's proper depiction all leading to a very well planned game. It gives a feeling of professionalism knowing that such time and care was put into it's design.




The game play itself is different depending on the server you play on. Whether creatively customizing your decks using the intuitive deck editing system, having friendly duels with random players, or participating in a tournament to gain 'stars' used to improve your abilities, there is no shortage of things to do.






Though at times the servers get a little lagged out depending on player numbers, there is never a shortage of servers to play on, guaranteeing you will always be able to find someone to duel.

I think I have explained myself well. In summary, I believe this is a game with great potential, a strong player base, and good expectations, but needs to try to trim down on the lag.

EDIT: OK, let me put this a different way. I would PREFER if people who put nay put why, as just putting nay helps no one. For example IceWarriorX posted constructive criticism.. Some people have just put nay and left it at that..which of course, helps no one. God knows your reasons for putting nay, maybe cos everyone else did, maybe cos your from a rival game, I don't care how lucrative your reason is, you could at least state it XD

Stop Autoplay is another one of those must-have Firefox addons. Similar to FlashBlock, Stop Autoplay blocks those annoying sound files which automatically play when you load up a web page. Currently Autoplay is able to block mp3, wma, wmv, avi and mpg files.
