I challenge thee!

As an essential employee, my routine didn't change much. I didn't get out much anyways, so the theater and bar closures weren't too much of a downer. Legit, the worst thing about it is that it increased my hesitance to travel and visit family with my time off.

Figured I'd put something for the sake of posting. How have you all been affected by the Covid 19 Pandemic? What has changed in your life styles?

For me, it's been a disruption to my once weekly grocery store visits, which are now more sporadic and I wear a mask whenever I go outside. Beyond that, not too bad.

Wow it's been a long time, updated!

Preferred Method: OOC 1v1 or IC 1v1

Preferred Zone: Empty Town (Daylight)

Preferred Judges: Up for Discussion

Preferred Outlet: SL Forum

******************************Special Rules******************************

-The match is to be a 1v1 deathmatch, if the preferred method was agreed to be IC. However the match will be defaulted to OOC, if that players don't agree to a *IC* terms of engagement.

-Victory for the challenger is the defeat of the host through any means necessary, and vice versa. Death in the fight does NOT equate to death IC, unless such a term was agreed upon.

-Skills acquired during an OOC match are not carried over IC. Similarly, knowledge of participants' abilities do NOT carry over to IC RP.

-*If, by some chance, the match should reach a point of true stalemate after a minimum of 30 days then a judge may be called in to determine a winner based on how the fight has progressed up to this point. Both participants must request this of the judge in person (I.E. Both fighters MUST send a PM for this option.] If this is chosen, then the judge may declare a  winner based on these criteria:

     • Who effectively manipulated the flow of the battle the best? The strategy employed (based on the posts) may have been defensive and attrition-based, but was it effective in the long run in wearing down the opponent?

     • What caused the stalemate? The challenger being unable to defeat the challenged, or vice versa? Is it constant cancellation of jutsu and techniques by both sides, or merely one side taking refuge in a relatively inaccessible area (such as pocket dimension) in order to avoid defeat entirely?

     • Who showed the greatest skill in the fight? This is completely and utterly at the discretion of the judge. His(her) decision is final on the matter, regardless of accusations of cheating or bribery or otherwise. This should be kept in mind when deciding on a judge for the fight.

-If neither side can be conclusively declared the winner, then the fight either proceeds or a draw is declared. In the case of a draw, the challenger may rejoin the queue of challengers after the latest challenger without having to wait for cool-down (this circumvention for the benefit of the challenger for not technically being declared the loser, though by not succeeding the host can be considered a winner in this situation.)
Note, this is a technical victory for the host, so unless the challenger truly believes that a restart is necessary to increase victory chances, then it is not recommended to settle for a draw without reviewing this process a second time.


-Must post at least once every seven days (168 hours). Though if a pattern of postings persists (I.E. If either player stretches their posting to the full seven days each and every post without prior notification to the other), then the challenge will be voided. The cool-down will be initiated to challenger (if challenger is problem) and the host will be stripped (if host's activity is problem).

- A judge *must* be picked before or during the first round of initial entrance posting by both parties, if the chosen judge makes a ruling that is deemed ridiculous by either party, a new judge may be chosen ONCE by either side. If the matter still can't be settled, it must be brought to the forums for a final decision.

-Everyone is allowed 1 repost. If you are found to be meta gaming, Retro posting, or God modding, the opposition is allowed to request your post be analyzed by the judge. If he/she decides the post contains any of those three things, your repost will be used to fix it. If your repost has already been used, then the actions effected by the illegal maneuver will be nullified and the opposition will be able to act accordingly. Example: If you try to counter an attack using meta game knowledge, the counter will have never happened and the opponent will be able to continue unhindered, likely resulting in a legal autohit.   

-Can only use skills that are known IC at the official start of the match. No borrowing from others. No immediate power ups within the match.

-Discussion of non-allowed techniques will vary by challenger and discussed via PM, only, If a technique is used in the midst of the fight that was not voided beforehand, and is still considered god mod, it can be voided at that point. People’s profiles are often unorganized, thus it’s easy to sneak past obviously broken techniques into a fight and we should not reward that type of behavior. The caveat, though, is that the technique in question must be an egregious violation to the fairness of the fight for it to be voided after it’s began. This is decided in a three way conversation between the judge and two combatants.

-Inflammatory, racial, harassing, or abusive language aimed at each other either in the match or in PM will result in an immediate void of the challenge. If challenger, (s)he loses all rights to ever challenge the current Jinchuriki. If host, he loses the match and Biju given to the challenger.

-In the event that a host is defeated, the new host has the cool-down challenge period time-frame to either accept the special regulations for the tailed beast or completely re-write or alter the special rules. If they do not post their own variant by the beginning of the next challenge, then it is to be assumed that they comply with the previous special regulations.

-If host defeated, allow host to finish up any roleplay that may involve having the beast. Then a reasonable RP will be concluded as to how the beast transferred hands.

Any questions, PM me please.

Aside from the requirements? No, no further talk. I do think I might have sent a message to inform Yomi that I was still trying to find some lead, though I'm not 100%. But folks can confirm I've been trying till this day, pretty sure I've bugged a number of you guys about lol

Thanks Eric. If Haz still wants a go sure. I'll get started posting the proper update.

Yomi did accept the challenge, however Madara has ever since been trying to find IC leads as to the whereabouts of the Jinchuriki, so a battle itself never commenced.

Did you two talk about how the RP was to commence? Is that what you two agreed on? If so then, well, ok, that would count as an ongoing challenge and I'd have to wonder who went inactive first while the challenge was fresh. I likely wonder in vain since, considering the timeframe, that question is probably unanswerable (Konoha board only goes back ~ 178 days, and that's with it being inactive!).

At the time of the challenge, there were IC hunt biju rules in place. I and Sabu, I think, were the first to attempt to try to do an IC hunt following those rules (the setup phase did not end decisively, thread here: https://forum.shinobilegends.com/index.php/topic,9477.0.html ) and from that experience I can empathize with you two not wanting to go through the literal execution of the IC hunt as laid out in the rules.

Still, the spirit of the IC hunt rules was for you guys to at least have a discussion about making a confrontation/contest possible.

Anyways, with what info is on hand and presented so far, it can be claimed that, at least as of recent, Yomi went inactive during the challenge, and so Madara would get the beast, and would have to honor Hazama's challenge (assuming he's still challenging).

Yomi did accept the challenge, however Madara has ever since been trying to find IC leads as to the whereabouts of the Jinchuriki, so a battle itself never commenced.

Thanks for your reply Eric! I will gladly take my place as summoner of the Mazo!

And even though Madara's claim is as old as fuck, I'm not going to bother asking for proof to debate my point or anything o.o he can have it.

And if he doesn't post wanting it, I'll take it then :p

I'll gladly take that dolphin-horse abomination 

I mean his challenge post is right there on the forum so that's proof enough on that end. The question is whether or not his challenge was honored/being honored at any point since the challenge was made.

Madara, did you and Yomi ever start your IC challenge?
