A cool battle of sorts happened in an anime called No Game No Life that seems like it could be a fun and unique arena battle on this forum where the characters must outsmart the other to win rather than just running up blindly swinging at each other. I'll copy and paste the rules to the battle to offer as good of an explanation as any:



That being said, while the characters are fighting they can materialize or take away things from the arena based on what they say. If you are out of a weapon and they say "snakes", that word ends in the letter s so you could say "sword" to materialize a sword in your hand to help combat all the summoned snakes or whatever. Nothing you summon is technically on your side, so you can't summon a huge monster and expect it to fight for you. That being said you have to be careful what you summon or it could backfire. Also, although the rules don't say it here, you could still say stuff like oxygen or carbon because it won't eliminate all oxygen or carbon, just the oxygen or carbon outside of the player's body so it doesn't count as a direct death.

So yes, you can summon nuclear bombs and such but those would blow up you as well so you have to be careful. In the anime you just had to outlive the other, even by a nanosecond to win, but in this case our characters will actually die for real and they can't be suicidal enough where they'd just kill everyone and call it a day. Also, for those who worry about destroying everything in the world, the battle is transported to an alternate dimension where the combatants are the only living things on the planet. All summoned things don't actually have a consciousness.

Anyone interested?

Sounds cool

If this thing is still alive, count me in.

I guess ill try it as well it could be interesting

I recently got a job that will be every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and every other Thursday from 5 am to 5 pm. During those days it's unlikely I'd have time to post much at all. If you guys wouldn't mind me mainly just posting on the other days then we could still do it. Perhaps a three way battle? Maybe my character can be extra elusive so that when I'm gone I can have them get some distance on the battle and not be as much of a factor until the character swoops back in again. But that could make it unfair for my character to become sort of invulnerable during those times so waiting would likely be the best option.

EDIT: Or you two could duke it out.

I don't mind an intermittent schedule. Whatever works for everyone else.

I wonder if the other guy disappeared. Well, I'm off work for today and tomorrow so could create the OOC/IC during this time and then wait until I'm off work on monday to post again.
