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

"Yes.... that could work..."STripetail said softly to himself "the Magic orbs..that they tried to use on me...."He Turned to the orb. "Sometimes one finds friends in strange places and ircumstasnces..Much as I dislike the dream Twins, they could prove to be a vital ally, that is if they don't try to turn me to stone first..." He Paused. "Alright, when the time is right, we'll use them"

"Only the Dragon Lord can unlock them that is the only way. Since it was made for him only" Orb stated to Stripetail "The energy in those twins from the dream card is true from what I studied they do process powers that no other titan would even they are the twin Dream Titans, history is able to be changed by those two in some ways to get them noticed." Orb said with a warning

'They were not created FOR him, but rather BY him" Stripetail said. " I know that only he can use them, but the question is, can they prove themselves to me? If they can, that will mean good things for the future"

"I see what you mean Stripetail but I believe they will change to not cause trouble if they do simplely keep them locked up in that card so they don't get out of hand" Orb said knowing that his right about the dream twins.

The next day came in the morning as they was talking around the breakfast table. Stripetail walks in after his night sleep with them looking at him "Morning Stripetail" Wayne said with a smirk on his face "We've getting ready for the next match."

"Looks like the next player against Wayne is at a disadvantage. that one he is dualing against has almost have a full deck of Dragon creatures. He was nicknamed the Dragon Tamer cause of all the dragon cards he got" Eva said looking at Stripetail "I just looked it up on the last year contest." Eva continued telling where she found out about the one that Wayne will be playing against

"Just because he has a lot of dragons doesn't mean Wayne will win easily. There are no easy victories at this stage of the tournament." Stripretail said. "Yes, his dragons cards won't be able to harm wayne, but that still leaves his other cards. He Might have a card that could inflict damage for every dragon in his deck for example. If He Does, Wayne could lose the duel. Now Wayne, If you transform to your true dRagon form during a duel you gain 20000 extra life points."

Wayne blinked "Seriously? If I did change into my ture dragon form I would get that? but wouldn't that go against some rules or something? never heard of a ture dragon fighting in duals before" Wayne said with some question woulding about what Stripetail spoke about to him.

"Um, My Lord" Stripetail's servant said. "Transformations are illegal, its rule #49. "No Duelist may change his or her appearance". The penalty for transforming is forfeiture of the match."

"What if I was to do it before the match? would that be legal?" Wayne asked the servent.

"Well, Let Me see" The Servant opened a large book and flipped through the pages "42 ...45.. ah, here 49. "Transformations. Transformations during play are illegal under magic Law 3716, article 4, subsection, blah blah blah. transformations prior to dueling must be approved by the referee presiding over the match. The Refereemust be notified one hour in advance of the duel, otherwise the transformation will not be permitted.All decisons made by the referee are final and binding for the duration of the tournament." Theservant closed the book and looked at Wayne. "What time is your duel sir?"

Midday when two of the other moons inner of the ring of Earth 51 alline with each other. Moon 32 and Moon 47" Wayne said to the servent "That is about 4 hours away."

"well then you have 3 hours to find the referee who will be presiding over your match and ask him to permit the change. According to the rules, your opponent will be given the same amount of points after a transformation, that is if you gain any from the transformation. I Believe his Lordship said 20000, so your opponent would also gain that. That is, of course, if the transformation is permitted. Usually, however, they are not permitted." the Servant replied. 'The Reason that is usually given is that transformation goive an unfair advantage to the duelist that undergoes the transformation."

I see what you mean." Wayne said to him "Before I do look for the ref. would you like to see the ture dragon form to see what you think about it? if permitted or not?" Wayne questioned a bit more.

Wayne with the servent walked outside into the big wide open then Wayne said the words and he transformed into his ture dragon form towering over the servent then looked down at him "This is the true dragon form of mine" Wayne said to him and the servent looking up at the large blue dragon.

The servant walked around exaning wayne's new form. He then stood in front of wayne and shook his head. "i;m sorry sir, but this, "he flipped through the book again, and looked down the rules pertaining to transformation" is far too great a change. In The rare cases that transformation is permitted, the transformation is limited. But the change you have undergone is expansive, you've increased 10fold in size and probably in strength as well.' The Servant looked forlorn. the final decison rests with the ref who will preside over your match, but i highly doubt your transformation will be permitted sir"

Wayne returned to normal and then said "Don't worry about it. I won't do it any how. I know that it would be unfair so I would fair about it." Wayne said to the Servent. "I think that the ture dragon form would give too much of a advatage to me since in that form my powers increase very very high" Wayne said to him.

Yes, I would say that the number of duelists who could defeat you in that form are very small indeed" The servant agreed. "Certainly none of the duelists in the tournament, well, save perhaps for Eva, after all she has been trained by my master." The Servant rubbed his forehead, "but nobody else, in my opinion. Only an extremely skilled duelist , one who has considerable dueling experience, could defeat you in your true form. You are wise to stick to your normal form sir" He Led Wayne back inside. "On to other matters, are you hungry sir? I 'd be glad to get you something to eat and drink before your duel"
