Seeing as most accept this idea. I will be proposing the Fight Club very soon. Expect mysterious men placing flyers all over your villages and what not. Gonna ask some people if they want the GM/Judge role just to get that base started with. And then soon, I'll start accounting for all the challengers. Still in the works so don't expect anything immediate! Although, don't worry I won't take as long as most do to reply. >__>'
I want this to be IC RP. As ninja central be its home town, the zones are where the arena battles would be. We can host private zones with only the contenders for 1 on 1 matches, when multiple people are involved we can just used the regular ones. The arena can change terrains, given the map chosen. Making all the zone areas available as an option; or the normal flat field. I'm imagining some weapons we can include for the challengers liking, possibly a heart gauge meter applied via a seal that would activate regenerative powers once someone's life meter dies out. This would prevent them from essentially dying, and maybe set up some sorta hospital to heal those whom lost. As well, I want to construct some sort of barrier around the entire area, restraining everyone's usage of chakra and absorbing attacks if anyone finds a loop hole. Then, once you enter the arena all restraints are let go as you are expected to battle at full potential.
To avoid unfair fights, most challengers would be match accordingly to what the judges believe is fair for one another. If not, contenders are free to challenge whomever they please. It would only really be a loss of honor to decline, since you are free to do as you please. Also I am coming up with some potential worthy prizes, aside from maybe the DP betting that could go on? xD
1. I do not see the point in making this IC RP. If you 'die' in the Fight Club, you die IC. Correct me if I'm wrong, but regeneration does not work if you're dead. And it's a Fight Club, there's no mission, no adventure, no plot.
2. I do not see why you keep mentioning Ninja Central as its home town. All the fighting zones are linked among villages/places.
3. I think a Feature Request should be put in for a Fight Club with a description and all. It would be nice to have it as a shop, separate from the Fighting Zone and to be placed in all the major villages.
4. In regards to unfair matches, you may ask the fighter to give himself a 'limiter', such as one less KG/ability. However, they are some RPers who know how to limit themselves in a fight to avoid being viewed as OP anyway.
In response to an earlier post, timed matches are better than turn matches because a turn match can last for weeks if the fighters make a post once a day.
Turn matches may be more appropriate for matches involving more than 2 people, but then the number of turns short (what's the average amt of turns it takes to conclude a team match? 7?). Personally, I have not see a team match go through start to finish. Usually someone goes MIA.
I think it's best for the contenders who apply, to also submit a zoning schedule that they commit to. Not a schedule of when you're free, but when you can definitely have time to zone.
We should introduce the idea of inviting special guests to be judges as well. I do not think there should be any emphasis on Win-Lose records, so perhaps each judge can give 1 Pro & Con of the fighters and leave a comment on the fight overall. This way, the fighters can leave with something (depending on what Judges may say) to be improved upon.
Maybe once popularity increases, we can introduce 4-man tournaments. Let's face it, large tournaments never seem to reach the finals. There's many ideas that can used in a 4 man tourney.
- 4 'top' players fight to be #1 (top players to be decided by the community/voting)
- There are five 4-man tourneys, representing the 5 major villages. So a village picks 4 of its members to fight to be a representative in what will turn out to be either a 5-man tourney or a 5 man royale (one representing its village).
- Physical Description of the Fight Club (Exterior & Interior)
Idea: One big arena that transforms the stage into any terrain (chose by random/choice?).
- # of fighters and their schedule | maybe a brief bio to be introduction in the fight (a few sentences)
- Judges (Regular & Special)
- List of possible fights (regular, team, specially ruled) & their Rulings
- Commentators (Maybe?) | perhaps they can be in charge of writing a brief recap of the fight.
- Overall Fighting Regulations (?) | perhaps 'RP test' for new/inactive fighters (like myself xD) to see if they are fit to fight. We can't have new fighters going against experienced veterans.
- Maybe provide a signature of sort to respective fighters as proof (?) 'Participant of Fight Club'
- Keep track of fighters who are active/inactive.
- Let's aim to have a fight every few days.
The foundation is important so we, as a community, should make sure everything is ironclad if we really want this to happen. I do not wish to see any bickering within the fights either. >.>
I think Kayenta would make a great commentator. She has a gift for writing.
