Farting.

Yeah, Khan had Snarnorgul his Glabrezu character, swallow his poisonous breath and instantly fart it out. The big argument was that it completely defied all known gastrointestinal laws, such as the time that it takes for something to actually pass through them.

As well as Sukoh having already crushed the beast's hips, but that's a bygone argument that I gave up on because he was too stubborn to admit he was wrong.

Because at was Khan. Lmao.

We need to setup our multiverse soon so we can have more silly arguments like that. I had a good chuckle.

Alright, so I've been thinking about possible changes.

1) No more points for losses. Learn from the loss. Losing and gaining points HAS skewed the data, and made it purely amount of matches(For example; LeeRoy had a win, and a loss, and was ahead of me though I beat him. In other options, People who lose get their points and are higher than others, despite losing.)

2) You'll get 10% of the losers total at the end of the fight. Instead of a solid 100 points(though for most, that'll probably be it anyway until more points are doled out). Loser loses nothing in the exchange. It won't ruin quality of fights, because, you still have to win the fights. You can start 100, but if you don't win any you gets no points.

3) Run the gauntlet, instead iof fighting the same people fight everyone(for example, Melon is running his second fight against IN.) In general, it's not an issue, but if some can't get fights, they can't advance. Skally has been here since day 1, thereabouts, and hasn't had a ranked fight yet. Lots of lip service though, but lips don't bring points.

4) This one has to happen. @Innue, you have to wrap up the first round. I know, I know, i gave you complete control over it, as I will all hosts, but the tournament was slated to start in May and now the matches are two months old. I was planning on having it done in August, so we don't go from one tournament to another. So yeah, please move it along.

5) The four way is still on, I just need to find a body for it. Or, I can just turn it into a three way worth 150.

Remember guys, story isn't required but you have multiple avenues. The HQ, for instance. Think outside of the box to get fights. As usual, you guys can discuss these, but they'll probably end up being added.

I think it's a little harsh to suggest people should go looking for different fight partners as if it was easy. Are you aware of how many times I've asked people for fights? I've made three separate challenges and asked for others to challenge me numerous times, even you refused my challenge so I was forced to enter your anonymous round instead.

The problem is with people refusing challenges from people for whatever reason.

Why don't you start and tell the class why you refused my Clockwork Man challenge, followed by any of my other characters? Maybe then I'll have a better idea of what I need to do in order to find different people to fight.

I will hopefully be able to wrap up round one within the next week. People took too much advantage of my generous time amounts between posts when it was meant to allow people in finals to actually participate. This will not continue for round two.

However, I have a birthday today and Tuuj and Melon will have to wait until this evening/tomorrow to continue progress on their match.

I didn't actually refuse your clockwork challenge. Having read back, initially in Chat, then here, we both agreed - based off the story you suggested - neither of the two characters that would fit it, would be a good match - even going so far as to explain why Worren wouldn't be a good bout, and Why Grim wouldn't as well.

I then suggested you pick a character, and you started talking about something else.

We only revisited it, twice. Once about my characters not standing up well to guns(when I was setting up the challenge, and you saying you know why I wouldn't want too, though I probably would have anyway. Win or lose, it woulda been fun), which isn't a refusal, as I'd take the challenge anyway, and how he would stand up to explosions(which led to you and Scion). I said before that the Alphonse challenge was open to anything, and in theory, any power level. So you could have very well left with Clockwork and came to the forest of love.

And yes, that is the problem, people refusing. It hasn't happened to me, but for some reason people are pretty open to fighting me for whatever reason. So how do we fix the refusal thing, you really can't, honestly, or push the whole negotiation thing. so that is something else to work on, so that we arent cycling through the same people in an effort to get points.

Skally has been here since day 1, thereabouts, and hasn't had a ranked fight yet. Lots of lip service though, but lips don't bring points.

You tempt me with that, Rilla. A rematch between Cho and Kolskegg is extremely tempting.

That is, if it doesn't really go against any of the rules and @Skallagrim is agreeable.

i don't really care if you guys face the same people, for the most part, the issue is, when say Melon can only get 3-4 people to fight him, and thus can only gain points by fighting the very same people over and over again.

I think fixing this problem could be if everyone would create a clear, concise list stating when they are looking for a fight and editing it when they're not looking so people can more easily challenge someone you know is still looking. Then maybe for the challenger they can mention every user on this list that they'd like to fight in the post they make in the ooc challenging any of them who would like to respond.

Actually, Skallagrim and I are in a ranked bout. Though it's moving very slowly, in no small part due to my job and procrastination.@DJAtomika

I completely forgot that was a ranked match!

Or I can only get 2-3 people to face me, and only one fight thus far is for points. I think, like Rilla, you have to face everyone at sometime. It's like a small form sports league, everyone has each other once in the season at least. There is no need to make a list.

It's taking a bit longer to write up Sukoh's sheet, he had one of the biggest character overhauls. So in the meantime I've posted another character, Monty Maddox.

I think Monty and the Tired Old Gun would be friends.

Is an attempted assisted suicide really friendship though?

I think they'd sit around in old-timey bars drinking and moaning about the disappointment of eternal life.

Bitching about problems is fun too, yeah.

@GreivousKhan I'll fight your Aruaka if you will let me.

Kool, challenge accepted.
