All right, so a while back, Purple and I had tried to come up with a new type of contest that might have been interesting... I never polled it to the public because i ended up busy, and things kid of fell through the cracks and all... But now!!! Well I think it might be an interesting way to bring about a new type of RP to the game. Furthermore, I think it will flex everyone's RP muscles, so to speak...Let me know, nicely I hope, what ya'll think.

Everything in yellow below were questions posed by Purple, that I thought a good idea to get everyone's imput on...

Okay. So the contest Idea is simple really:

Contest Title: To be determined.

Contest Description: This is a simple contest, aimed to enhance the skills of the competitors through a new aspect. Rather than fighting it out in brute force, this contest employs the artistic and beauty aspect of Ninjutsu. All contestants will have the opportunity to display their favorite ninjutsu, but give it an artistic twist, aimed to awe the judges and spectators.

Contest Rules:

Round 1:
- Contestants each can use up to fifteen ninjutsu.
- Contestants are allowed fifteen posts to display their power and their turn (rough idea... post amounts can be increased or decreased).
15 posts is can be a lot, depending on how many people show interest in the contest, because with 15 full posts, that could take a LONG while for the judges to read. Maybe make the posts capped to a little lower?
- Contestants are allowed any jutsu of any affinity.
- No forbidden jutsu, or Kekkei Genkai allowed.
- No jutsu above the current level of the shinobi (to be determined by judges if a jutsu breaks this rule).

Will all the people be judged on the same level or will there be different tiers? Such as acads + genin, chuunin + jounin, etc.?

Round 2:
- Contestants can use up to twelve ninjutsu.
- Contestants are allowed twelve posts to display their power and their turn (Rough idea.... post amounts can be increased or decreased.)
- Contestants can only choose two affinities to focus on, and jutsu from those two.
- Contestants must submit their jutsu names beforehand to one of the judges (administrative information so we can classify and place the members in an order that makes the jutsu non-redundant).
I feel like a majority of people will at least be using suiton as one of their affinities. I don't know if redundancy would really matter though, because for the contestants to be sending in all their information prior, just so we can come up with an order might just be unnecessary and would extend the time, making people wait longer. I think randomly placing them in an order would be fine enough.
- Contestants must use at least one A, one B, one C, and one D rank ninjutsu.
- No forbidden Jutsu or Kekkei Genkai allowed.
- No jutsu above the current level of the shinobi (to be determined by judges if a jutsu breaks this rule).

Round 3:
- Contestants can use up to eight ninjutsu.
- Contestants are allowed nine posts to display their power and their turn (Rough idea... post amounts can be increased or decreased).
- Contestants must choose two affinities to focus on. All jutsu must come from these affinities.
- Contestants must submit their jutsu names beforehand to one of the judges (administrative information so we can classify and place the members in an order that makes the jutsu non-redundant).
- Contestants are allowed only one S and one A rank ninjutsu.
- Contestants must use at least one A, one B, one C, and one D rank ninjutsu.
- No forbidden Jutsu or Kekkei Genkai allowed.
- No jutsu above the current level of the shinobi (to be determined by judges if a jutsu breaks this rule).

All rounds:
- Jutsu must be known well. No custom jutsu unless the jutsu is well recognized in the community by many people.
How would you determine if something is "recognized by the community" as a whole? This could potentially be pretty limiting, but on the other hand, it may be hard to judge what is outside of a character's rank.
- Breaking any of the rules can result in consequences, or immediate disqualification.


Consequences of breaking the rules:
1 rule - an immediate deduction of points to be decided by the judges.
2 rules - a penalization of points, and an automatic ending of the current display.
3 rules - Automatic expulsion and disqualification of the contestant from the contest.

What point system are we going to be using, and by what scale? Is it going to be on a scale of 1 - 10? Will we be judging based off of specific categories? What I am essentially seeing in my head is something similar to the Olympics in the sense that people will be doing jutsu displays and we'll be judging based off of stuff like creativity, visual effect, and overall complexity or something.

Contest Prizes:

Third Place - 50 DP and CMM
Second Place: 100 DP and CMM
First Place: 200 DP, CMM, and a new jutsu to be taught by one of the judges (This jutsu to be determined by affinities and judges).

These prizes can be upped to meet the needs of the personnel who are participating. This was originally only clannwide, but I am definitely extending it to be SL wide.

What do you think?

So you basically want people to write a really detailed ninjutsu attack?

If Kirk or Dark enter, you might as well pack up and go home. 


Not just detailed, but a work of art. Deidara vision basically.

Art is *insert your idea of art* Ka!

Art is a waste of money Ka!

On a more serious note... is it just me, or does this sound like the 'contests' that used to be in pokemon games?

[Shadowfire]

I didn't know they had contests in pokemon games. I stopped playing them after the originals and silver... then played red rescue team, but nevermind that.


Basically I wanted to flex the idea that people constantly have to use their ninjutsu and what not for battle. Plus it would give a new twist on the ideology of RP, and make people think in different ways. It was merely an idea. People seem quite negative about out....

 

[Eric]

Starting in the Hoenn generation (The second generation that I played, if you count Fire Red and Leaf Green as their own) you could enter your pokemon into contests. They would perform certain moves in order to dazzle the judges or affect other pokemon in the competition.

In the anime, it was purely using their moves for show purposes, showing it off not in battle application, but for stunning appeal and visual effects.

Hence the reference to that when thinking of this ninjutsu is art thing.

I wouldn't say I am negative towards it personally, it's just that why exclude it to just ninjutsu? Sure, genjutsu should be excluded because you can literally create anything with an illusion, but what about fuinjutsu and taijutsu?

[Kyutu - Super King -]

I'm not against it. I'm just wondering if people would use their own character, or Mr. Generic Jounin, as the rules are pointing to that latter bit, as you can't use anything 'unique'. This presents a  problem, as characters without certain builds won't stand a chance-like people who rely on their kekkei genkai or other inherit abilities.

[Shadowfire]

I can see your point. SO limiting one's kekkei Genkai, and unique skills would be quite damaging to the effects, and just ninjutsu otherwise cancels out other's ability to use separate aspects...


Hm. So what if we include all kekkei genkai as long as it doesn't include genjutsu, or dojutsu?

Why exclude dojutsu? Other than Ameratsu and Kamui, as far as the sharingan is concerned, it really cannot create visually appealing techniques without genjutsu. Same for the Rinnegan and Byakugan (it would have to be combined with other things in order to be visually apealing). Not alot of custom dojutsu running around that I've seen that falls out of that.

If alot of folks do dojutsu, however, originality can be a deciding factor in who wins.

[Shadowfire]

I like this idea.

So...

No genjutsu
Kekkei genkai's not limited
What about the posting amount. I know it can be hard to restrict someone when they have a specific writing style. look at my last post in the kiri battle. took nearly twenty-seven posts I think.

And almost an hour and a half.

[Shadowfire]

Well you know... writing takes time, Bocch. And I was doing it from my tablet.

Limit the time that they have for posting I say. They got 2 hours tops to make their post.With timestamps, it would be possible to pull that off.


*unlimited actions in that post, though props for conciseness without unnecessary steps.

[Shadowfire]

So limit time instead of post amounts, or do both?
