hey guys, it's me again, I see the arena has been busy since I've been gone.
I personally really like the idea of the arena, but I have no time to actually play in it, lol.
I have a sort of idea, but I don't think it'll draw people in, a couple of my friends from awhile ago used to have something like this arena, but we the roleplayers would fight in it, not the characters. we called it forum fight, it was really fun lol!
though it requires self insert type characters, it was rather enjoyable.
also if it's story you're lacking, maybe make some of the tournament's genre based, and make the tournament's have some kind of story? like a steam punk based fight, where you can only fight using a steam punk OC, and as the tournament goes on the characters can weave some kind of story. like an anime style tournament arc!
maybe the arena itself can have a story of some sort, start a new season or something with a story to start everyone off, maybe that'll get people pumped, I hate seeing people fight, roleplay is supposed to be fun and stressing over lack of ideas is not fun at all, lol.
