If you're handling PvP in the usual fashion without any system in place, then it is doomed for failure.

How are you going to handle PvP?


I have to ask what you had in mind when you were referring to a "system". I have never really had any problems with normal, freeform PvP myself, but it seems from your inquiries that the Guild has some sort of history of janky PvP on the part of the players? Is this something I should be worried about?

@Black Alice
When it comes to PvP, always assume the worst out of people. While I assume that people will generally be chill with getting hit or whatever in this RP...I've also been in Fate RPs where it's literally DODGE DODGE DODGE DODGE NO ONE GETS HIT BECAUSE DODGE.

Personally, I believe that it's best if you either do something like add dice mechanics in this, or if you take control of results for both attacks and defends. In Fate RPs, it always feels like players have ridiculous egos, at least from my experience, so yeah...

Um, I'm not sure if I've not been clear through referring to it as the "usual" way of doing things, but I will be serving as a bit of a judge for all (most) combat in the RP. So, the "if you take control of results for both attacks and defends" part is kind of already a thing.

Is it not normal for GMs to moderate combat here?

Well, in my previous RPs here, no, it wasn't. But if you are moderating everything, then I'm not sure why people are asking about how PvP works. XD

Maybe they're wondering about prana costs, and how many times one can spam their NPs?

I feel like this is very much a common sense things, most of the time. It can get tricky when dealing with weirder Noble Phantasms, but for the most part, this should be something that players are able to work out for themselves.

In the event of a complication, or if somebody's simply unsure, I am completely willing to go over their prana usage more in-depth, but I don't think this is something I'll be detailing most of the time. (Although, I likely will be tracking the general usage of mana, to make sure people aren't being silly.)

I vote for dice rolls.

With values depending on the circumstances. E.g. if Archer takes a pot shot from a super far distance then it's a 10% chance hitting sort of thing and you roll that.

Because even if you moderate it but don't use a rolling system, it means people will refuse to get hit unless it's very decisive or convincing. Any strategic low success rate low reward kind of move will never work.

I will not be doing dice rolls. Naturally, people will avoid being hit (and typically, most Servants will be able to avoid superficial injuries rather easily), but if you just outright refuse to be hit when you clearly deserve to be, you will be scolded.

If an Archer takes a shot from a super far distance, the result isn't based off of random chance. An Archer is not going to take a pot shot. They're going to shoot an arrow from 4km away with pinpoint accuracy, while jumping off a skyscraper and spinning a whole 360 degrees, screaming, "Yolo!".

If something happens that is like, actually based off of random chance, sure, I'll roll a dice. Otherwise, I will not. Sorry if this comes off as harsh~

@vFear Neato character, I'll look over them in a while~

I have to agree with you on this. Dice rolls are really jank for something so based on skill and strategy.

Sorry, but I'm going to be dropping out of this RP. I've got another I need to focus on running myself, and I just agreed to be in a Dragon Ball RP, so I don't think I'll be able to participate due to time management and creative differences.

Uh, not counting the GM's, there are 14 people in this now that Turbo's dropped and you've jumped in- pretty sure it's a major character each unless other people drop.

Depends on how the GM wants to handle it, I guess. Since they said reservations aren't set in stone and can be overturned if they think someone else would do a better job, the same could reasonably apply for this. I don't know.

I know I am being counted in there too. And I wouldn't have asked my question if I wouldn't be interested. That said, I can either take up a spot as Master or Servant~

Saber: Kaithas or Ashifili
Archer: Fish of Oblivion
Lancer: SevenStormStyle
Rider: Psyker
Caster: A Cute Angel
Assassin: Zombehs
Berserker: Crimson Raven

Master(Saber): Krayzikk (if Kaithas is Saber)
Master: Anderiel
Master: Click This
Master: vFear
Master: Animus
Master: Ashifili
Master: A Cute Angel
Master(?): Skyswimsky
Master(?): Kongou

So, from the posts here, the only class that's being fought over is Saber. If Ashifili gets the slot, then we'll have eight Masters so one of the Masters will need to step down. Seeing as I'm already in for Caster, if that happens I'm fine with rescinding my master spot, so nobody's prevented from being able to participate. If Kaithas gets it though, we'll have nine, so two Masters will need to step down, meaning at one person won't be able to participate, sadly. At the same time, if Ashifili gets Saber, both Kaithas and Krayzikk will be out.

Of course, if Skyswimsky or Kongou decide that they would rather compete for a Servant slot, then that'll change. I just assumed Master for convenience's sake.
