With all the Japanophiles wandering around people tend to forget that there was an incredibly strong code of honour known as Chivalry in West Europe that was pretty much as strong as Bushido, with slightly less emphasis on suicide for minor misdemeanours. (Recently found out that the 47 Ronin story, which I was aware was loosely true, started because their lord was tricked into drawing his sword in a castle in Edo, and had to commit suicide for it.)

@MelonHead

That and Western noblemen would duel over matters of honor just as frequently as any samurai. And in all of history, I can think of no better way of starting a fight than throwing a glove at somebody in public.

I remember reading about a siege in the 100 years war that proves "civil war" is not an oxymoron. An English general was besieging a French castle. He managed to dig some kind of trench around the castle that was about to cause it to collapse or something, so rather than utterly crushing his enemies he properly warned the French general what he was doing. The French general didn't believe him, so the English bloke invited him outside to show him. The French dude was like, "Hmm... looks like you're right. OK, we surrender." Then the two armies had a pleasant banquet together.

So on a serious note, any one up for a match? I want to test out a new character I have in the works.

@GreivousKhan

I'm definitely up for a match. I've got 4 characters posted right now. Always thinking of which one to add next.

I bet I could beat y'all with a Rilla doll, a bulbous Melonhead and bubblegum.

@Skallagrim

Too OP; plz nerf.

@ImportantNobody Well, if you'd like to fight a kitsune sooner rather than later, I have Shinko that you can take a look at. We might just have to do a small amount of power scaling in the raw strength department, but other than that I don't see anything unmanageable about Evvie.

I see where the issue is, you've formatted your weapons as individual posts which probably gave Takashi the impression they were other characters rather than your main character's weapons.

You may just want to use hiders or something and keep it all in one post, as they haven't made it from your CS deposit to the Ranked deposit, so for all intents and purposes your character wouldn't have the weapons if he was challenged.

@MelonHead

Actually, I hadn't even realized he had made a separate post detailing anything. I was going off of what he posted in the characters section in this thread.

@takashi if you had read the powers for Para Domorte, my blade, you would notice the techniques of fire in which I have listed. i also have a skillset of abilities for my handgun, Castalania, as well as different rounds of ammo.

@Giovanni Carter

Do you have a link to that? None of it is listed in the CS section.

I remember being on MYB prior to the coming of paraposting. Holy shit, the shit that went there. I'm a big fan of CS', but in general, most folks here could have a considerably good bout without one, without it getting to the 'ermergawd batman!'

@Rilla

Yea, most of the people here seem experienced enough to know what's fair. But in those old chatrooms... I literally had people try to write my own characters' backstories. And my poor dragon Talon would get confused for that bird lady from Static Shock of the same name. lol.

Are you form the old guild arena by any chance. You look familiar, or at least your name does.

@GreivousKhan

I didn't participate in the old guild arena, but you may have run across a character named Hayazo Takashi in the casual roleplays.

Soon, we'll be at a point where everything will require an insane amount of detail to cover for every instance.

At times, I miss the simpler days.

@Rilla

I remember the AOL chatrooms where it was pretty much anything goes. Imagine trying to have a competitive match with somebody without even seeing a character sheet.
