[OOC] Arena Chat Thread

[Rilla]

I'm headed to bed. I'll see what you lot come up with.

And Wayward, don't worry o wouldn't force you to do.it anyway. Wagers would.be decided upon by participating parties, and if.one.doesn't want too then no.wager.

[Green]

My vote goes for yes to the point thing.

[Rilla]

Which one?

[Rilla]

Shit. it erased what I typed.

[Rilla]

To streamline this. I'm thinking;

100/50/25/600
Win/Draw/Loss/Tournament(I'm thinking total, but could be changed)

I would prefer my wagering idea, but I'm biased. I think it would provide some good incentive like done college betting brackets, or the lottery. Some of you may had other ideas, but in the interest of getting this done and moved forward - I'm fine with 100 points for the first win, 2 for the second, 3 for the third, and so on. Obviously in a bigger tournament they could lead to someone raking in a massive amount of points, which in the future, could lead to a lot of "catch up" but that's a bridge to cross later.

wagering is still on the table, you can wager any amount of points you have with a minimum of twenty five. Also items for items. Mundane items can easily be regotten through some method, but special items SHOULD not be gotten again, otherwise the wager is pointless. In done.cases people should be able to use wapons they couldn't ordinarily - sort of a "ownership transfers power" type deal. Maybe not always the case, but sshould be the normal. That doesn't mean being able to manipulate fire, if you couldnt before. Any watered items are returned to their proper owner during unranked fights/off site fights.

Tournaments should be held three-four times in a calender year. Say Jan/April/July/October. Prevents people from hosting quick grab tournaments. All tournaments should be ranked if for points. Perhaps even in them, like WOTW, you can steal a weapon from your opponents. In the vein of the infamous skin thief. Wager arent req.

All matches should have a judge, and should be linked in the upcoming Rank thread. Each post should include participants, judge, wager(if any), link, and Victor. The judges should probably post this with any comments from all participants. If you want to judge, or have a suggestion for judges message me or post here.

One account per fighter. Any caught using two will, very hopefully be subject to the banhammer.

[Rilla]

Other notes:

Items can be wagered for points.

Do not judge your own fight.

Character sheets, if used, should be posted in the match thread where the fight is taking place for easy reference.

Rules are subject to participants.

Any questions/objections? If not, we can move on to needed threads. It may take Mahz a while to code in everything, if possible, so we can knock some other stuff out while we can.

[Innue]

I can assist in judging.

[ShidenBlades]

Sounds good to me!

[Dolerman]

We can pick our judges right?

other than this everything seems fine.

[Rilla]

We'll probably have a pool of set judges. If only to eliminate people trying to get they friends in as judges

@Rilla

This is wise.

I'm also probably going to largely avoid combat myself mostly because it has lost a lot of its allure to me (in terms of competitive combat). But I'd be glad to support the community in anyway I can.

@Innue

Would you like noncompetitive combat better?

@ImportantNobody

No, I just don't want to go through the mental exhaustion of combat anymore. I learned combat in a particular environment that caused me a lot of extra stress. Then I sort of ran the combat community on another forum, which got pretty toxic for awhile because I was a moderator in conjunction. It sort of turned me off.

Just some background info on why you won't likely see me participate much, if at all.

[Skallagrim]

Innue I have done those things as well and have been burned out of combat as well. But here the asshattery is not as much and the people tend to resolve things in a much calmer way. I think that is why I hang out here to relax.

@Skallagrim

I know. I've been generally impressed with how the community has handled itself in this venue. Even though I haven't done any combat (for the sake of combat) in years, I still get stressed thinking about it.

@Innue

I'm doing a cooperative battle right now where everyone fights a huge team of my characters so it's not really stressful. Everyone can have fun teaming up and know I won't have all my character destroy everyone and take the fun out of it.

[Rilla]

They know its because I don't take no shit, Skally.

I have that type of calming effect.

[Alphakoka]

@Rilla

Or because there's really only so few of us.

[Rilla]

You will not ruin this, Koka. :P

[Rilla]

So. ha. Obligatory page Turner.
