The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Journey To Longneck Island

"Yes it would, sounds like the job I have in Dinoton sound a bit more complexed then that" Wayne said to Stripetail. "hey RipRap don't need these now" Wayne hands back the jacket and belt from the floor to RipRap. Wayne looks at Ducky "Like to do that swim now? don't think there will be anything inturpeting now" Wayne said to her taking the jacket and belt off then dives in.

RipRap puts the clothes that he did give Wayne back in the tiny cube "Well I better get some rest" RipRap said walking away.

Stripetail walked towards Eva. "Let's go for a walk shall we?" As They began walking, he sighed," I Still haven't fully recovered from my week of non-magic use. That proves I'm not as strong in this dimension as I am in my own. But enough about me. What did you do while you were waiting Eva?"

Wayne surfaces and watches Ducky come up "Wow for someone your size, you sure move under water. it amazing that I was just able to keep up in some points" Wayne said to Ducky.

----

"I was training myself a little with some of the magic skills, quite a ride in some points, but also been talking to Littlefoot's grandparents learning a bit more of their world the way they live. Magic seem to be not needed at all in this world it seens fine as it is" Eva said to Stripetail "But..." Eva puts her paw on his chest "I am glad to see your back from that little trip"

Archer finds RipRap and walks over to him.  "Hey RipRap.  I...wanted to say I'm sorry for my overeaction back in the caverns.  I truly have no idea someone would place something like that rock in the cave, but I'm very sure the Oracle would not have done that."

We'd better start training you in dueling Eva. Remember when you called Snowpaw a cow? That was very insulting to her, and she'll want an apology. If you refuse to apologize, she'll challenge you to a duel Eva, and considering that you've never dueled before, she'll defeat you easily, and extract a very high price for your defeat. You must understand Eva, she will never be able to rest until we are reunited again. So let's begin shall we?' Stripetail walked away from her and walked about 30 paces away and turned. He gestured, and the ground began to glow. A white circle formed around where he was standing, and another formed around Eva. Another pair of circles formed alongside them and a huge circle formed in between Stripetail and EVa. The Large circle split into halves. "This is a dueling field. The side circles are where you put magical creatures. The side of the field you are stand on is yours, and this one is mine. " Three orbs formed on each side of the field. " These orbs are called challenge orbs. They rotate between different symbols; Knowledge, Power-up. Contest, and Creatures. In order for you to challenge me, they need to be all of the same symbol. If you challenge me, and they are not all of the same symbol, you lose points depennding on the rank of your crystal. White loses the least , but has also has the least starting points. White starts with 1000 points, each higher rank gets 1000 more, with Rose getting 10000 points. A duel will start out with an even score, how many points you get depends on the level of the higher-ranking duelist. If you duel Snowpaw, you wil both start with 9000 points. Any questions?"

"It's alright Archer. someone put it there to lead us off track but I saw the answer incoded in the messege. Plus Stripetail's little mishap caused my and his dimension to now have counter parts of Wayne. You Wayne in the water over there his now part of my dimension known as Wayne Para. He still recall all the human we met so he is that human but now his own while the human from the central dimension is in it. the magic mishap caused that to happen." RipRap said to Archer, explaining his best he could what happened.

"I see," replied Archer.  "So does that mean that whoever put that tablet up won't be able to walk into the Central Dimension, or do we have to destroy the device?"

"Alright... now this is bull... I said what I said because of what she said about me!!! I am not her and that why I had a out burst at her! Snowpaw should think before speak! then this mess wouldn't happen... Now you saying this again really giving me second thoughts about this... I am getting sick of her making me feel like nothing more then her puppet! I'm not... gah forget this... I might as well die then bere with this crap" Eva gets anger and walks away throwing the staff to the floor sitting on a rock feeling outraged.

"Back to this crap... back to the point that I think I hate the most... HE had to speak of her again... and she has to be reunited with him sounds like my purpose is only for them to be together again... my life is meanless..." Eva had tears fall on the ground. "Like a story going wrong... he speaks of so much... he loves her, and me... nothing... and dualing won't help matters... it will make things 2 million times worse" Eva looks to the ground feeling very sick with it now taking thought of not going this path.

"It shifted altogether making travel to it now impossible. But I see Guan did make friends fast with Wayne" RipRap said looking at Archer

"Well that's good to hear," said Archer looking back to see Guan talking with Odon.  "He's come a long way.  He's had just about as much adventures as the five other children in a short time."  He pauses for a moment.  "Now that I remember, I think it's best for all of us if that tablet no longer stands in the caves.  I'll go blow it off the wall."  

Archer starts to walk off, but stops and turns to RipRap.  "If you want to help, that's alright with me."

Snowpaw appeared behind her. "Love takes time to build Eva. " She ignored Eva's angry look. "I Understand what you were feeling when you insulted me. That's why I didn't hurt you." Snowpaw sighed. " You are not my puppet Eva, I allowed you to have your own thoughts and powers, but I have retained the right to intervene in your life. Had I not intervened, you would have been destroyed when your ship blew up. I do not want you to die eva. If I wanted you dead you wouldn't be here now. Stripetail's love for you will grow with time, if you let it. But you'll deal with comparisons with me and you'll just have to sit there and endure it. Stripetail has not been in love for ages, all that time he has brooded over me. Hopefully you'll help him close the book on our relationship and begin recording your relationship.' Eva's face briefly softened.

Eva picks up the staff from the floor "I'm sorry..." Eva gets up "This feeling of life in me is just still a bit uncontrolable... my outbursts just overwhelming feelings of hate... I just couldn't control it" Eva looks at her "I'm still feeling the control of feelings hard and I didn't mean what I said. I'm greatful for your help. Hopefully soon I will gain control of these feelings" Eva said to Snowpaw.

"Don't mind if I do" RipRap smiled walking with Archer.

--

Wayne had got out the water putting the jacket on and belt walking through the forest like area "Never saw this in the Land Before Time tapes... unless this area just behind the tall trees" Wayne said to himself

" I know. Those emotions take time to control. " Snowpaw smiled. "Now go back there and listen to what His Lordship says. You will never find a more skilled duelist, even if you search every dimension that exists. Once you cover the basics we'll have a friendly duel to see how much you've learned. Or would you prefer dueling RipRap?"

"I don't mind either way... just hope my emotions don't cloud my foucs" Eva said walking back to the circle. "Right sorry for that Stripetail, my emotions got out of control yet again" Eva said to Stripetail.

That's alright Eva... Now where was I? Oh Yes. to win, you either need to reduce your opponent's points to 0 or break his or her staff. If you drop your staff for any reason , you lose half your points. So that would be 5000 points if you were dueling me. If you drop it more than once, you lose. You cannot use Orb magic , unless you get a Power-up symbol." Stripetail called out "Sheldus" Three Rose-colored shields appeared, one covered him, another covered the side circle, and a third covered his half-circle.  'these shields protect me. You cannot remove them without a removal Power-up. If you attack my shields without a removal symbol, it will fail and you wil lose points, depending on how many creatures you have in your circle. The limit of creutures you can hold in the side-circle is 5. Rose-level shields cannot be broken by Orb magic, that is the only level immune to Orb magic. Basically, as Long as I have these shields in play, I can't lose,' Stripetail finished. "Now,since you know the basics, Any questions before your first duel?"

"That sounds very complexed for a basics for a dual, but I believe that I should get it. just lets try this out... I know that first duals might end up a lose in 85% of duals on other terms of dualing that not magic based" Eva said to Stripetail

Alright Let's begin." A Circle of light encircled both Stripetail's and Eva's staffs." Since I'm the ligher level, I Go First." Stripetail said. A Counter appeared in both circles, each read 10000 points. SHeldus!" The Shields appeared in fromt of him. Sendar!" He roared and a lightning bolt raced out of his staff and struck Eva. The circle around her staff shrunk in half. "That would have defeated you had you started at 1000 points. Next I'll summon A Ghost a dragon and a Eagle and put them in my circle. Then I'll end my turn. A Piece of advice Eva. Put up your shields." Stripetail sad as he waited for Eva to move.
_ Snowpaw appeared on Eva's side of the field. " See what I mean about him being extremely skilled?' She said with a smile.

"SHeldus!" Eva puts up her shields "well looking back at what you was saying, sounds like this dual is a bit harder to understand... don't know if I can deal with the pressure of it. But I'll try" Eva said to him. "I'll pick a power up orb" she sees it a removeal shield power up. "What my luck of getting that... I will use removeal shield power up and strike" She fires a blast of light at him hitting him. "I will summon a Chinese Dragon and Wolf putting them in my circle... that ends my turn... god this is going to take a while"

Sendar" STripetail roared again and the bolt removed all three of her shield before hitting her. Her poit total dropped to 3000. Sheldus. He Said and the shield around him was restored. "White Shields are the easiest to destroy Eva, My spell was powerful enough to wipe all three of  them out and take also some points away Dragon attack her now!" The Dragon Struck her with its tail and reduced her point total even further.'You have just 500 points left Eva. Return to me dragon. The Dragon returrn to the side circle and passed through the shield. That ends my turn. I Have 9000 points left Eva, even if you were to hit me with every creature in your circle I would still have 6000 points left."

"Then I lost... unless I use my personal serect attack" Eva said to him "Not even you or snowpaw should know it. not even mind reading shouldn't work" Eva said looking at her staff "If I do it should burst through his shield and hit him hard and take all points down but it will do it to me too making a draw... a risk I will take and he better not have read what I thought as well" Eva thought to herself.

Unfortanately for you Eva, I know what your planning. You cannot break Rose-level shields through brute force, I've already told you that. The Only way is to have a Removal icon show up.' Stripetail reminded her.
