Yu-Gi-OhITP PbP Exhibition - Allan A. Aokage versus Cyborg Mage

[Allan Surgite]

A wild-eyed man walks into the arena; wearing a business suit which could, at best, be called "informal" and a duel disc upon one arm, he grins openly. "Greetings, challenger! I am Vitus, envoy of the Dark World and the second of the triumvirate. Shall we proceed?"

[Cyborg Mage]

A tall, thin figure walks into the arena, covered in a black robe emblazoned with a set of cerimonial-looking purple lines. A hood is pulled over the top of his head, the shadow it casts concealing most of his face. One feature, however, is very noticable. His right eye seems to glow with an unearthly purple light.
"Are you the newest fool who thinks they can challenge the Immortals? Fine. You may call me Vakinas. And rest assured, you will fall like the rest of your misguided flock."

[Cyborg Mage]

"They are more powerful then you, one bound by society, could understand. You will soon regret your choice."

(1d35)[2]

"I summon Earthbound Linewalker in Attack Mode, then I sacrifice him to activate Nightmare Archfiends. I now end my turn. The time for me to strike will come soon enough."

EDIT:
"Fine. Do not think this mistake is a sign of hope for you. I retract my previous action, and set Nightmare Archfiends instead. Your move."

(I needen't bother saying "A card" because you already know what card it is. As I said before, Your move. Also, I have to go AFK soon, so I won't be able to make my next turn until tomorrow morning.)

[Allan Surgite]

"Hahaha. My society endorses the eating of one our members at every full moon. Full of iron, you know. And I think you could do with some iron; I'm told it aids comprehension. Firstly, Nightmare Archfiends is a trap card and thus cannot be activated in your turn. You'd have to set it this turn and activate it in my turn if you had to; but it gives those three monsters to me, not you and let me assure you that I'd crush you if you chose to activate it now. In light of this, how do you change your turn?"

[Allan Surgite]

"Oh, I wouldn't dare."

(1d35)[12]

"I summon my Snipe Hunter to the field, and activate his effect. By discarding my Stygian Street Patrol, I can destroy your flimsy Linewalker. Next, my Snipe Hunter will go direct. Your turn once more."

"I activate my face-down trap, Scrap Iron Scarecrow. Did you truly believe I would just expose myself to an attack?"

[Allan Surgite]

"Didn't I just destroy that with my Snipe Hunter? Or do you mean that you had this card last turn, but didn't use it? If I've made a mistake, my apologies; I'll just wipe it out next turn. Your move."

[Cyborg Mage]

(I set it. Did you destroy the 1st or 2nd trap card? Anyway...)

(1d33)[25]

"I summon Earthbound Linewalker and activate Call of the Haunted, summoning my second Earthbound linewalker from the grave. I then set a card and end my turn.

[Allan Surgite]

((Sorry, but could you please make it clear which cards are face-down and which are face-up? Or indeed, whether you have two Call of the Haunted on the field or not? Since your field is getting really confusing; you apparently managed to, after having one face-down card destroyed (the one in Zone 2), managed to play a trap card (Call of the Haunted) on this turn, when the only one you had face-down was Scrap-Iron Scarecrow due to process of elimination. Or did you set Call of the Haunted or something, then used it at the start of my turn? But now you seem to have three spells/traps on the field (Call of the Haunted, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow and an unknown), one of which is in invisible and the other two are labelled as Call of the Haunted.

I also don't know what positions your Linewalkers are in; I'm presuming attack, but can't be sure. Try using consistency; keep facedown cards as "F", for instance.))

[Cyborg Mage]

(They are in attack, i'll edit my Life Points now and change the facedown icon. Just so you know, the "L/Ca" Icon is meant to mean "Earthbound Linewalker /w Call of the Haunted)

[Allan Surgite]

((I'd gathered that, but Call of the Haunted stays in the S/T zone. Just make sure you remember that. So, I presume you have a field of the following: two-face-downs, 2x Linewalkers and 1x Call of the Haunted face-up (pointing to one of the Linewalkers, activated at the start of my turn)? I have to be sure, since Snipe Hunter's effect does kinda require precision.))

[Cyborg Mage]

(I'll list the Call of the Haunted-Linewalker icon in Purple, because-well, there's a lot of purple fog in the card art. Actually, just a lot of purple.)

[Allan Surgite]

(1d33)[27]

"Right, let's get this started. I'll discard an Infernity Destroyer from my hand to power Snipe Hunter, who'll be taking out that face-down of yours if he succeeds."

(1d6)[1]

"A dud? Haha! It's of no consequence; I'll activate my Giant Trunade, bouncing your spells back to your hands. It will let you reuse that Call later and doesn't get rid of the Linewalker, though. Such is life; next, I'll activate my Wave-Motion Inferno spell, which does nothing at the moment; I'll also activate my Infernity Launcher. Now, I've got one card left in my hand... an Infernity Mirage, which is normal summoned and tributed for it's own effect, resurrecting Infernity Destroyer and Infernity Avenger."

"Now things get really fun! I tune my Snipe Hunter to Infernity Avenger for a total of five stars; from this, I may Synchro Summon my Stygian Sergeants. Now to battle; first up, my Infernity Destroyer, who rips one of your Linewalkers apart; thanks to Wave-Motion Inferno, he gains a bonus four-hundred attack, so you take 1600 in battle damage. But then Destroyer's effect activates, dealing a second 1600LP of damage afterwards. Now, my Stygian Sergeants will attack; they destroy your Linewalker, dealing 1100 points of damage to you, leaving you with only seven hundred life points left. Yet his effect now kicks in, giving him a bonus 800 attack and letting him attack again, which strikes you of your remaining life points. Good game, sirrah."

(Slot 1 or 3? PLEASE make this more specific in future. It's probably 3, but just in case there are more targets next time.)

[Allan Surgite]

((See my edit above for my turn. Good game, unless you can counter any of it.))

[Cyborg Mage]

"N-NO! This cannot happen!" A purple glow begins to form around the man, filling the arena with an unearthly sensation of dread. The man looses a scream of intense pain, before vanishing into the purple light. While this happens, a strange, ancient symbol forms behind the man, drawing the purple light into itself. When the light passes through, it vanishes and a final, unearthly howl issues throughout the arena. Once the symbol vanishes, there is no trace that the man was here at all.
