The reason why I will deal with both areas Creativity and Service is because they are easily discussed together. The Duelist Alliance is a group of friends who come together to play a card game called Yu-Gi-Oh! which originated in Japan. We have our own Ning website (duelistalliance.ning.com) where we can converse and discuss new cards and other related news. However, the large number of new players and people who have joined our group in the last 6 months have meant that we are in need of a website makeover. This will hopefully involve upgrading our website to a .com instead of a .ning and hiring a website designer to give our community a more fitting appearance.
Our aim is to further increase the ease at which people can play this strategic card game to accommodate this growing interest in Brunei Darussalam as it can be difficult to start up playing a game when you have no idea of who to play with and how to make the most of it. In addition, more on the creative side, I really enjoy the social aspect involved with this game as it brings together all of us with different ages but similar interests to play a much-loved game. The main reason that I play this game instead of all the others available is mainly because of the tactical characteristics involved and I enjoy competitive games with combinations of options to prove one's skill in the game. There are thousands of cards available to one to construct a 40-card deck out of; so the combinations are endless and each deck shows your personality as a player. We have often held tournaments whereby entrants play to gain points in a ranking system to show off those with the most competitive and consistent decks.
Another hope of the people who run this site (me among a few other of my friends) is that the money that is made from these tournaments can be put back into our community itself and the website so that we can hold bigger and better tournaments with more great prizes. Also, we do not have a fixed location to hold all of our activities in private so we are hoping to rent out an area or something similar and become a distributor of merchandise as there is no hobby card shop in Brunei and this could hopefully open the game up to even more people! Generally, this will help to enhance the experiences of all the people in Brunei that we all get from playing this game.
Now, further into the year (August), our friends are starting to organise a card hobby shop to be set up in an area called Kiulap which is a convenient distance for most people and should be easy to access. It will also be near other facilities which will help the shop blossom into a nice meeting point for us all. Also, we are continuing to hold more tournaments to allow players to socialise and enjoy themselves more. Now that our Ning website has its own funds, recent tournaments have had more prizes, heightening the enjoyment that we all get from playing Yu-Gi-Oh!, and we hope that this trend can continue in the future.
