Hi guys! I'm one the aforementioned new players. I can't wait to get started.

Welcome.... to the Team of the LION FIST!!!!!!!

I think MokuxDiamond was the shortest fight so far.

I think MokuxDiamond was the shortest fight so far.

I have to say Kaben, Trico used to scare me a bit, what with the threats to euthanize all male characters, but I think Mokuren has now taken that fear to a whole new levels, what with her CASUALLY EATING PEOPLE.

It's not casual. She is actually really sad that she has to eat people, and really pissed off before she does so. But I love all my characters.

Not sure if I've said this, but if I'm right.. By Lugu's rules wouldn't Diamond have won the fight for having lower Aura technically? Edit: ALSO! WELCOME NEW PLAYERS! I hope you'll enjoy your time here.

No, the winner is the one with the highest aura. That's how Robert won against Abel (which is Lugu's character so he probably would have said something if I'm wrong).

Then by that logic wouldn't Daniel have won for Shiro's fight? I'm so confused e.e; And jealous. The amount of detail and description for y'alls fight is so nice ;_; I'm so uninspired sometimes.

Yeah, rereading your collab post, I guess that would mean Daniel won and not Shiro. As for the detail and description thing, you and Scarifar have the longest collab post by far. You guys definitely did a good job on details and such. Great job!

-Hisses- Don't you lie and patronize me! But, y'see the problem is that before I had posted it up Lugu came in. Lugu read everything and decided Shiro was the winner. Hence, my confusion as to the rules of these sparring collabs.

Just to keep these replies from taking up the entire page, I'll just reply to your last message. Anyway, yeah that would be pretty confusing. Maybe Lugu just disagreed that Daniel did more damage then Shiro. We'll just have to ask him, I guess.

Lug specifically said that the one with the lowest Aura level would win. This is very confusing...

He also said he was judging who was going to win, and people should write around that. Didn't help poor Diamond though.

This makes a bit more sense.

I said that I was no longer judging. When I read over the fight between Shiro and Daniel I reminded them of the lowest-wins rule. I thought it was pretty logical, but I guess I'll explain it. THE RULES You lose when your aura is depleted to a degree I'm calling 'red level'. Better yet, let's imagine it as an hp system. When your hp gets to 0, you are in danger of taking serious injuries since your aura can no longer protect you, the match ends, and you lose. If nobody does that before time runs out, the one with the lowest aura wins. That means if two people spend five minutes fighting each other, and one of them has 5 hp left when the other has 20, but neither of them have 0, then the one with 5 wins. No matter what, if it goes to 0, that fighter is the loser. Diamond lost because her hp was reduced to 0. Abel lost because his hp was reduced to 0. Shiro won because his hp was lower than Daniel's, but not 0. If this was not the case, then I assume you would have ended Daniel/Shiro's match with the realization that Shiro was in the red, not that the time had run out. If you meant that Shiro's hp was in fact 0, then he lost. TLDR: Fighter A goes to red, he loses. Fighter B goes to red, he loses. Neither fighter goes to red, but time runs out, and A is in yellow while B is in orange, then B wins. Why did I make it this way? I'm sure you've seen every fighting game ever, in which if the time runs out, the fighter with the most hp wins. I chose not to do that because it encourages playing lame, not fighting and instead running away. By having the lower (BUT NOT 0) one win, it encourages the fighters to gamble. Do they try to get themselves lower, knowing that it will make them easier to be reduced to 0 (and be defeated)? Or do they try to win normally by reducing the opponent to 0? Fast forward to 7 minutes. As the time runs out, player 1 wins, because he had more total health. In normal matches, one player beats the other before time runs out (As in Mokuren/Diamond and Abel/Robert) but in this one, he ran out the clock by 'jumping around' and not actually fighting, as he admits. In theory, he could have landed one hit on the enemy, and waited for time to run out, and he would have won if the enemy couldn't strike back.

It all makes sense now.

Technically Mokuren didn't land a hit on Diamond. She made Diamond punch herself. Mirror of Yata is the ultimate 'stop hitting yourself' semblance.

So... you can't win by being a coward. Gotcha.

Exactly!

You could, however, get the shit beaten out of you, and as long as you don't zero out by the end of five minutes, you don't even need to throw a single attack.

Very true. It also doesn't take into account someone who simply fights better, more precision, playing to their strengths. A mage type could very well get recked up close, and could win by default, if they didn't get KO'd, even though they weren't able to strike back with much effectiveness. But if they stand off and use their abilities wisely, fight smart, and maybe only get hit a little, they automatically loose. Not sure if this is a good yardstick of the characters (and their players) skills, abilities, and combat experience or capability, which is what the spar is all about.
