Mind at least waiting for me to finish my character sheet?
EDIT: Done. NO idea about my time, to be honest. Doing a quick search turns up roughly Central European Summer Time.

I'm going to be able to post most regularly between 1 am and 3-4 am GMT, though 1-8 am GMT is also available. And weekends are often freer.

[Culise]

GMT-6 normally, though with Daylight Savings, that's GMT-5 right now.  I tend to have better time access around midday-to-afternoon on weekdays; local evenings and weekends are a little bit more spotty for me.

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, would someone else be willing to count how many points my deck has? I don't know how to calculate it and I'l have to go bed soon-ish, so I propably won't have time to calculate it myself before the game starts.

Important Questions: Should I use Japanese or English names for characters?
Also, season 3 was in Jaden's second year, right?

Important Questions: Should I use Japanese or English names for characters?

Why not both, or more? Gives the Academy more of a large, prestigious international institution feel.

[Culise]

For naming convention, I have no particular preference.  I'm not sure about using both, because then you either use awkward slashes ("Judai/Jaden", etc.) or else just redirect the question to asking about each individual character.  I suppose that we've mostly been using the English names so far, but that's mostly just a convenience. 

As for the story by years, it seems like the first episode of Season 3 is a recap looking back on the "last two years."  That plus the general plot synopsis seems to suggest that Season 1 is Year 1, Season 2 is Year 2, and Seasons 3-4 are both Year 3.

This is the same for me.

My research on the wikia agrees with this.

Use both at first, but slowly eliminate usage of the English versions.  So we can adjust from what we know over to the original.

Oh, I misinterpreted the question. Disregard that.

[Rolepgeek]

I prefer english, by the way.

After all, how many of our characters have japanese names?

[ExKirby]

English. Why? Anime Millhouse's fanboy henchman.

_{Fuck you I'll leave my obscure references wherever I want}

[Kansa]

I don't really mind either way about the names

Important Questions: Should I use Japanese or English names for characters?

Depends. Are the characters from Japan and the surrounding islands, or America and other English-speaking countries that watch anime?
Keep each character consistent and I don't care. I know maybe half a dozen of their English names. Jaden, Cyrus, Chumley (definitely use the Japanese name for him), Chaz, Alexis, Bastion, Blair, Professor Crowler...okay that's eight, but one's a pretty minor character.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Thanks, Culise. I'll decide once I see what Zan makes, though. Also, Entrance Exams start tomorrow. I'm unable to write up new threads on a PSP, which is what I'm on right now. What timezones are you guys (and girls, maybe) in, anyway?

I've got one spellcaster that has the potential to mess around with your strategy fairly heavily.

Right then. I got the examiner decks ready. Now, one last question. How far before GX should we do this?
