What is with Ra?

There is no active leaders, and only little active members, there is no tournaments for RA?
Something need to be changed about this...

There was one tourny but it failed :D

If u want that this changes then u need to teach Slifers alot because it seems they cannot pass their Slifer Exam

Slifers doesn't pass the exam, they stick with red dorm, which is why we lack yellow and blue, only few talents can reach higher dorms you know.

They dont want to became RA because there isnt any tournemnts or activity here so they rather stick to Slifers. Maybe you admins should pick up few good, active and old Slifers and move them to RA and also pick up new leaders of RA, because I dont se Staxx and Nova around here lately...

Yellow powa!!!

Nova is around. I seen him on a different forum earlier today.

I think we need to just make this a Ra Opinion thread. May the people tell the leaders wut they want now......

We're making events to increase Ra's population.

put me to ra and make me ra leader? =o

well slifers normally dont do as well vs obelisk+ in tourneys and shtuff and thats why they cant rank up normally, that is why we need more slifer only events ^^

I'll try the Ra test again if that helps anything. I think I'll pass next time.

and that is why you all are still slifers. you do not have to win a event to rank up from slifer to ra. quit being slifer slackers and earn dp to take test. there does not need to be more slifer only events only less slifer slackers slacking.

Edit: Nova is around. I told him to say things in here.
I vote for N to replace Staxx as one of teh Ra leaders.

You're not going to bring in many new members by antagonizing them, Gracco. Most people dislike DA's testing system for some reason that I can't say I understand, so they'll stay Slifers until they find another way.

Alot of people join everyday and the rate of people ranking up is slow... they either go all the way to Obe or just stay as a red. The gap between Slifer and Ra is wide but from Ra to Obe is considerably smaller. And sometimes, the Ra's just go inactive. Either that or people simply can't be bothered to rank up (like me lol).

im not antagonizing anyone. and i do not care about if there are more ra's or not. what i said is honesty and if any slifer wants to become a ra then they most likely do not need to slack.

it is easy in the current system to get from slifer to ra. SLIFER is called SLACKER for a reason and I love how all you slifers in here are proving it with every post you make in this topic. To get from slifer to ra all you need to do is earn the DP and pass the basic rules test. To get from ra to obelisk you need to win a tourney or top it if it has more than 16 people. Also the test to get from ra to obelisk is very hard from what i have heard. There is a considerable gap to cross from ra to obelisk and the only gap that needs to be crossed from slifer to ra is to drop the slacking.

Sorry about that, Gracco. I misunderstood what you posted before. I still disagree regarding the test in that it does require a certain amount of experience, even if it isn't that much, so noobs such as myself can easily fail.

I think they should put N to ra and make him leader he is a active and if ra has a active leader alot more people will make the effort to be active duel and post alot more and even take the test to get into ra

N is actually a good choice for leader of Ra, for the sheer fact that he's a good duelist, he can reasonably deal with people when they have issues, and is insanely active.

i totally agree N is perfect for leader of ra

You must have recently begun to show activity again Skylax, because I don't remember the last time I actually saw you round here . . . .

DA itself has alot of tournaments open, which is why I haven't made any tournaments. Making a Ra exclusive tourney is asking for epic fail, there are only about 7-10 active Ra members if that. You all speak of how having an active RA Leader will encourage Slifers to try to get to Ra, but I don't see any of you pushing as hard as N did as well as a couple others to pass the exam and move on to the next level. When I see you guys begin to get to this level, you won't have to worry about my inactivity because there won't be any, but what I do know is that you'll become inactive. You should all consider yourself lucky, if I had it my way, I'd kick everyone of Ra's inactive members back to Slifer, but I have to be nice. With that being said, Slifers need to stop slacking and pass the exam, because your chances of getting to Ra through a tournament are a hell of a lot less than passing the damn exam. If you feel this don't apply to you, then prove it by passing the exam.

On another note, N is a good choice as a Ra Leader. I have no problem working with him to get this dorm where it needs to be, but that is not my decision nor his.

Here's the chance to prove me wrong, so let's see it happen Slifers

Nova you're the man !

Yeah totally agree

Lol some RA returned :D Im RA also and i dont have any problem with N being leader. Oh and yeah i totally agree with nova. And with gracco. If youre too noobish to pass single test about basic yugioh rules then that means you deserve to be slifer. Thats the cruel truth.

1) Slifers test is peace of cake according to our test (winninig tournemnet) that is for sure, so you dont have right to complain about that. It cannot be easier.

2) We are in good way here to solve this situation. Important words to solve this situation can be: ACTIVE LEADER, TOURNAMENTS, ACTIVE MEMBERS or we can put this way: ACTIVE LEADER who organize TORNAMENTS reguralry (once a month or once in two months) attract the ACTIVE MEMBERS .

SUGGESTION ABOUT TYPE OF TOURNEMNT:

Most
of us dueling in advanced rated games where you cant use banned cards and it is best way to find another way to replace that banned card. That is skill. We are testing and refining our decks
and these kind of tournamenst where we are using our deck, are perfect to face it with best of the
best.. Like it is said in
heading. "BECAME A PR0" we need to train someone to became TOP of RA and became OBELISK This tournemnt are better and more usable
because it is little stupid to organize tournemnt where you can use only
specefici cards or decks and probably after that tour you will never use it
again. There is no point of such tournemnts. This will attract Slifers to pass that test because they will se future of RA and chance for further advancement.

Inner tournaments winners doesn't get a dorm upgrade.

i just had a great idea !

why
would members upgrade to higher dorms ? what gain will they have ?
pretty much nothing ! that's why they're not trying their hardest

but if they had some thing to work for then it would all mean some thing

In
anime i remember that the obelisk blues have dorm luxury advantages
over ra and slifers, well we can also do the same by making the good
events restricted to higher dorms and the lower dorms get some events
but are less rewarding and challenging and fun !

i think that should do the trick !

What members gain is the ability to become a competitive player. As you rise through the dorms, you should see your level of play increase. If it doesn't, it either means you slipped through a crack, or you were a pro prior to ever joining DA. Giving members of a dorm privileges/exclusives may not be a bad idea, but if you truly wish to increase your level of skills, incentives mean nothing because you want to advance in order to be a tough competitor, not to gain the right to do this or that.

1. Agreed. Slifers just have to step their game up. If they want it bad enough, they'll do what is needed to ensure a passing grade on the exam.

2. Once again, me running a tournament within Ra is pointless right now due to inactivity, and even if I do run a tournament once a month, it still means nothing if Slifers don't care to make it to the next dorm.

Training someone to become the top Ra . . . we, the leaders aren't in our position for nothing. A great duelist is not always the best leader. In all honesty, I don't care to "attract" all Slifers to Ra, I want active members who will strive to get to Obelisk. The real problem with all of this is not something Dorm Leaders/Mods/Admin control, it is the individual themselves, if you don't want it bad enough, ***** ain't going to happen no matter what we throw at you. DA has a reputation to uphold, exams will not be made easier, we will not allow anyone undeserving to slip through the cracks as some may have in the pass.

Umm winning a tournament is not a slifer test o_O slifers have a new test thats all a bunch of questions and all that. You just got back so you odn't really no about it. And only 2 people have ever passed the slfier test o.o. So it harder then you think. So don't go saying its easy if you never took it. Though I myself have never bothered with it though just saying that most everybody fails it who takes it.

I believe what he meant is to advance from Ra to Obelisk you need to have won a DA tournament and pass the exam, compared to Slifers who only have to pass an exam to advance.

You will need to know the material and dueling ruling to pass such a test.

I was a Ra b4 the new system was implemented. I never took the slifer -> ra test because I was already a Ra. I do want to take the slifer -> Ra exam as a Ra though now so I can see how hard it really may or not be.

P.S. If I pass I will rofl hard and then there will definitely be grounds to call slifers slackers too. I am no expert in rulings but I at least try.
