[OOC] ImportantNobody vs. LeeRoy NoW Rnd 1

[ImportantNobody]

Posted. Maybe they could have a rematch sometime when she's decidedly less dead or with my Japanese character in the works. You can get your last post out and then I guess we wait for the rest to finish.

@Skallagrim

Last post has been made, that was definitely fun. And absolutely, maybe a rematch where strangulation isn't the endgame.

Fun indeed.

Spoiler alert: She will be strangled again.

A lot of people watched the match so maybe some of them know about her and can point him in the right direction. Or maybe you can have him find an id in her clothing, if so then probably in the continuation in the IC of the other thread due to you making the last post here.

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody He's just gonna ask the NPCs or Skallagrim. It's a bit more in character for him. He's not the sort to go rifling through someone's trousers. Especially if they're dead.

Edit: That's how Shin fights his way through the tournament, a series of victories via strangulation through various hilariously coincidental occurrences.

[ImportantNobody]

@LeeRoyNPCs would seem more likely to me unless I'm misinterpreting Skallagrim a bit. I know he considered them both worthy to participate, but I don't exactly see him answering just anyone's random questions willy nilly unless not many people are trying to talk to him.

An NPC could have seen her while she was traveling to other planets but didn't reveal themselves so she didn't know they saw.

[LeeRoy]

*Twiddles his thumbs and kicks his legs back and forth.* Welp.

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody Well, I guess I could say what we could have done differently during the fight. To pass the time, since my roommates came back from doing laundry and went to bed.

Shin could have started with a less aggressive initiation, rather opting for the blade end of the kusarigama than the weight. Probably would have made the fight last a little longer, seeing as it would have left neither of them open for a follow up or reply.

[Skallagrim]

I will grade out your fight in the morning.

@LeeRoy

If you want a longer fight we can start another...nonranked battle? A super long tracking sequence that takes 20 pages. XD

I will grade out your fight in the morning.

@Skallagrim

Okeydoky.

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim Alrighty, it's moving day so I'm super busy anyway.

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
@Rilla

Does the victory notice mean I win? I'm too tired to think right now, we worked for 12 solid hours yesterday to move our shit.

[Rilla]

No, I just wanted to give you a win for the Lol.

[Skallagrim]

You won, I just have been busy and have not completed the scoring.

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
@Rilla
That's why I asked, I was just making sure because there wasn't a scorecard.

1-Characters
ImportantNobody- Your characters are always an interesting read. You always present an excellent idea of what and who your character is and regardless of the event, you seem to flesh out the character within the role-play excellently. Well done. 3.80
LeeRoy- There are times when you shine. When the character you are using is one that seemingly holds some meaning for you, you tend to captivate the reader with the emotions of the character. Reading this fight, I could hear the snide quirks that would resonate in his voice when speaking. Well done. You have come far since you first entered the arena. 3.80

2-Introduction

Both of your introductions were brief and really didn’t take advantage of that opening post to establish the characters immediately. Although they fleshed out, that first post should be one that grips the reader, brings awe to the environment and establishes the gravity of the situation.

Both: 2.5

3-Action

LeeRoy- You always write with an eye towards action. You covey movement, space and a sense of realism, allowing the reader to become drawn in in your action sequences. 3.60

ImportantNobody- You surprised me. You have a good grasp of action and are able to write an excellent fight, one devoid of silliness. For that, I thank you. For me the action equaled your opponent and matched him. I think you did a great job here. 3.50

4-Attack/Conflict

ImportantNobody- I think your attacks could have been smoother. It seemed that you held back a little and I was hoping to see much more of Ruchette, I believe that you could have handle the fight differently, allowing you to gain an upper hand. 3.20

Leeroy- You pressed your attacks with skill and continued to punish Ruchette with every attack. You did a good job and your skill in writing attacks has increased since last year. You are beginning to display the traits of a good fighter. 3.5

5-Defense/Resolution
ImportantNobody- Man you have used so many different defenses. I had hoped you would have been able to get out of your situation, perhaps turn the tables. What I enjoy, regardless of a win or a loss you always maintain the character’s perspective and personality. I truly wished you had been able to reverse a move but well done. 3.4

LeeRoy- You had the advantage but IN pushed you at moments, had he been able to dislodge you it may have been a different fight. You employed enough defense to maintain your offensive pressure. Good job. 3.3

6-Creativity

Both of you guys are very creative. You employ your powers well and actually surprised me as I read the fight. I debated this but ultimately the difference is so minute that I am going to give you both 3.4.

@ImportantNobody Score- 19.8
@LeeRoy Score- 20.1

@Skallagrim

I will be honest with you, Shin is the VERY first character I EVER made. He's gone through an uncountable number of changes and has gone ignored and come back up so many times that if I were to write down all the different people he's been it would take days.

He's honestly my second favorite character, with Sterling being my first.

[ImportantNobody]

It seemed that you held back a little

@Skallagrim

@Skallagrim, blame Ruchette, not me.

But me and @LeeRoy may have a rematch later on and she will handle things differently, using this battle as a good setup for her growth and possible revenge. Should be interesting.

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody I definitely agree. Though we'd have to find a reason for Shin to not have the staff again.

@LeeRoy

I'm sure full body diamond armor could handle a little staff.

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody
A 150 ton staff that is entirely amorphous, can strike opponents through different planes of existence, and has variable size and density. It is an extension of his very will.
