was thinking it would end up that way, the other deck was to slow looking to me. with intruder alarm being the only thing it had to stall.

nbarry223 - Apowersoft Mac Screen Recorder. paid $50.

wow why pay for screen recording stuff, there's so many free ones out there (or free keys on youtube with trials).

Anyway, i know nothing about that one, so you're on your own, sorry. it's probably an option not set up right, you have the wrong mic set up or something to record from, or aren't recording the computer sounds, etc.

nbarry223 - its not that it's an option. I LITERALLY tested it an hour and a half before the duel recording my screen while doing homework. It played back fine with audio. SAME settings, and then no audio for the duel. I'm dumbfounded.

and the reason I paid for it was because other had VERY bad reviews and there aren't that many out there for macs.

I see. I don't know what to tell you. Is the audio going away when you render it or something? I know I had problems recording things sometimes until someone helped me, and it turned out I had it using the built in mic instead of my mic I was speaking in to. Also if you are recording other people that you can hear, you need to record the output device too, just some general advice, but I figure it is nothing that simple.

Good luck trouble shooting :(

Nope, before rendering. And thanks. Yeah I am having it using my mac's built-in mic, I don't have one. But it works, when I DONT record :P My friend says it MIGHT be because of cockatrice running simultaneously since I didn't have it running while testing it. IDK, I'm annoyed haha.

I'm so sorry that happened to you again Dreno33....I know how hard you worked on the one we did together, and I can imagine you worked just as hard on this one...you'll get it figured out. As with most things; it's probably something really small and simple that is annoying once you figure it out :)

I'm sorry I couldn't make it to this challenge...we've been crazy busy with the company; so boo :(

Featured again, so when you change it to Duel 6 tomorrow it will already be up!

TapDown Duel #5 is up on Youtube! I have yet to understand the ANNOYING mystery behind the lack of audio. Testing moments before without issue to only find no recording of sound after the duel is frustrating.

• I use a mac and if ANYONE has a good suggestion for a free dependable screen recorder with sound, email me at [email protected]

Now, SUBMISSION is OPEN for TapDown Duel #6!

Start submitting you STANDARD DECKS everyone!

Of Specifications 3 and 4, are any live yet?

Also, you had? specification 5: Your deck must have at least 15 upvotes. I think you should add that to 4, so it says: You must be an upgraded Tappedout user or your deck must have 15 upvotes.

Yeah, I don't feel it is fair to exclude people because they don't want to upgrade their account. Something reasonable like 10-15 votes as an alternative requirement sounds good.

Or can't shell out $5, in Droxium's case.

That is precisely what I mean, some people simply cannot afford any extra expenses, so it is unfair to exclude them simply due to that.

That is my submission. As I said before, timing permitting, I'd be happy to be the guest judge for this duel if I'm not selected to compete.

well, Ill put a non hexproof deck up just to be a tad different this time.

My submission:

Give it another shot!

Take 4:

I was mentioned somewhere? Also, why do you have boring lands? why not a mixture of unglued, unhinged, zendikar, and foils?

@Matsi883, i also wouldn't be eligible since i have no deck of my knowledge that has more than 0 votes. I just don't feel like putting in the time to amass the points needed. Plus, i would also have to deal with the useless comments. Upgrading is something that i haven't done because i don't need to. Sure tappedout is nice, but i don't need to upgrade for a colorful name with poorly done HTML.

Droxium - I don't know the code to them, simply put.

I don't really like the "describe everything you do in chat" part. It makes the matches a lot longer and therefore more boring to watch. Many things and triggers are so obvious or can be pointed out by drawing arrows.
If you want to cast something, just put the card on the stack. If you put down a shock land untapped and reduce your life total by 2, why would you need to type it out at the same time that you shock yourself?

Obviously there are some exceptions that need to be clarified. But in a live match there are also shortcuts that are regularly taken and no one needs to announce everything he does, it's optional.

RussischerZar - I agree with you. It's sort of a mutual understanding. Arrows are awesome and they really do help explain. If you have seen some of the videos, they sort of already do what you suggested and it is perfectly fine(:

Well, rule 6 still seems rather strict on this stuff:

During the Game, Players MUST verbalize (chat) during each play (describe triggers, etc) and their opponent must reply with an "okay" or "in response". Failure to continually do so will result in an automatic Round loss for the particular player.

RussischerZar - It is placed there for a good reason, I assure you. If you watch this last duel, you will get an even better understanding as to why. There were a few times where one of the contestants messed up on his plays by either forgetting to tap land or hitting a trigger or forgetting to draw a card then trying to go back and fix that mistake. It became very confusing and even though I couldn't imagine someone trying to cheat just for the sake of winning in a little fun duel, the question is still there. These Duels are supposed to be fun and I would rather the Duel be ruined by me disqualifying a cheater then a cheater winning a Duel. I am not calling anyone out but I must be aware of the downsides a program holds that being in person does not. These are precautions to those flaws and thus far have helped quite a bit (especially because the dumb audio keeps messing up! haha)

Thank you for you suggestions and concerns, I appreciate it. I am always welcome to feedback on the rules. Besides, I would rather be strict in the ruling and be lenient on a case-by-case situation then be lenient on rules and surprise players with disqualifications by multiple honest mess-ups that disqualifies them. Does that help clarify things?
