[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Lucius Cypher]

Well it could fall into one of those "Technically Fighter A won but as you can see, Fighter B utterly trounced him. So Fighter B wins." Trying to win off a technicallity likely wont fly in these battles. These spars are also to showcase ones ability, not who is superior. So trying to win by abusing the rules wont get you anywhere unless you're trying to hide your abilities ala Pyrha.

[Lugubrious]

I'm getting some mixed signals here, so I want to sort this out. Do or do you not want me to change the system?

[Tearstone]

Just weighting the merits and flaws of it, Lug. Nobody said anything about changing anything.

[Lugubrious]

This is for Paige.

[NarcissisticPotato]

Paige and I did a bit of a Hunger Games' ending to our fight! Make love, not war, guys!

@NarcissisticPotato

If you think it needs interaction from Ms. Goodwitch, PM me the link to your document and I'll put in a few words.

Just not in the sexual manner, is all!

@Lugubrious

Hey Lugu, what are the rules for forfeiting? Does Ms. Goodwitch need to have a few words for that?

[harinezumikouken]

Alright, that all makes a bit more sense. Oi, Lugu, are the characters encouraged to interact with one another between fights or do you want all the fights to finish first?

[Lugubrious]

Judging from the show, you may forfeit if you choose, and the match immediately ends. If you want to have inter-fight interaction, be my guest.

@Lugubrious

I thought the point of these sparring matches were to evaluate where all the students currently stood as far as combat prowess? If they're allowed to forfeit matches, doesn't that make all of this moot? And alright, I may or may not make a post with Shiro chit-chatting with the other students.

@harinezumikouken

True, but being injured during the spar and realising that continuing would make it worse or is impossible? I think that's a good time to forfeit.

@McFazzer

Then again, the instructors are already monitoring the fights and will intervene if necessary.

[paigesweetheart]

This is for Paige.

@Lugubrious

OMFG. I FELL IN LOVE. THIS IS PERFECT. THANK YOU!

Thinking about it, DiamondxMokuren was a waste. It didn't really show much of Diamond's fighting ability, and showed practically nothing of Mokurens. It was over to fast for either of them to show off anything other than their respective Semblences.

@KabenSaal

That's not true, it also demonstrated to everybody that Mokuren is a crazy bitch.

@KabenSaal

Yeah, it was a bummer how fast it ended. Had to say though, nice 'CRITICAL FINISH!'. x3

[Lugubrious]

Presumably, forfeiting shows something about the student as well. Show's that they're afraid, or unwilling, or so on. Undoubtedly it would be frowned upon (in the show, Ms. Goodwitch did seem rather displeased by Mercury's forfeit), but it must be an option. If a student is unwilling to fight, teachers can't very well force them to do so. Also:

as long as it's evident that you seriously tried you'll receive a full participation grade

Forfeiting can and will subtract from the grade.

Can hear the Pokemon Stadium announcer. 'Taken down in one blow'

True. Bleh, whatever. Let's not fret over the 'rules' and 'what-ifs' and just have fun with this shit.
