once everyone wrote their placeholder, i'll whip up an arrival/pre-battle scene to give people some idea of my char's weapons.

and a 1-round warmup fight, since my sponsors won the bidding and got to choose the weakest opponent to arrive.

is that cool with everyone?

Its the stay puft marshmallow man !

[drinksinbars]

yeah one of the problems int he past was waiting for the fights to happen, bloody nightmare all told. so if everyone is comfy fighting together, we cqan start.

as far as the arena itself goes, it can be as large or as claustrophoibc as you like, variable terran, pretty much whatever you want. as far as the finale goes, you can ofcourse kill each other in it, but the contest is decided by WRITING so even if you do kill you opponent it doesnt mean you win! like wise lets reduce the number of horrific injuries or ridiculous scenarios we put our opponents in

[Grief]

Oh, and temp, any preferences as to when you want to go?
I'd prefer second, but its up to you.

[Illuyankas]

Hmm, think I'll chuck my 1000 words in sometime either tomorrow or Tuesday, if that's cool. Also, Mez, is ending my post with the fight just starting good, or would you like a first post with less actual battle and more examples of what my dude can do?

[drinksinbars]

if people want to go fast by all means, as quick as possible is better, but deadlines for each post will hopefully spur onthe slower among us

You can start the fight if you like. I will back track, do my characters prep, get him into the arena and then respond to your moves at the end of my first post.

I was supposed to be going shopping today but now I have got stuck in writing my intro (I had an idea and I likes it!).

[Illuyankas]

Excellent.

[Bauchelain the Evil]

Ok. I sort of finished my intro. Of course I will have to modify it after reading Morgoth submission but most of it is done

[Tapper]

JA, mind if I start, seeing how I'm the bigger unknown of us two?

[Sir Thursday]

@D'rek: I'm not entirely sure how your character is actually going to fight...so would it be alright if you went first? Just so I actually have some vague idea of what Mr. Lippmer is capable of...


Sir Thursday

[Morgoth]

i'd like to start ours, Bauchelain, if that's all right by you?

[Bauchelain the Evil]

Sure. This way I can know your character better.

[alt146]

I'm also gonna ask if I can go first if that's ok Shin? I have no idea what your char can do, other than having freaky spider legs.

Since I will be putting my placeholder in near the deadline (depending how long it takes everyone else) I assume it's ok for me to just chuck my intro in at the same time.

[Jump Around]

Thanks all for the pointers I did try to read Deathmatch III, but it's a bit messy and hard to follow

Of course, no problem. It will also give me an idea on how it goes.

[alt146]

Would it be possible for the judges to put in a 5th post after each round using the adjudicator (or some other path-shaper type) alt for the conclusion of the fight to be posted in? It's a bit late for the first round, but it would keep the thread much more organised, since all 5 posts will be kept together. Just an idea, dunno how practical it will be to implement.

[Grief]

That is a good idea.
Would make it easier to read in the future.

[Grief]

Oh, and it could be implemented, just only by deleting those already done.

[Morgoth]

hrmh.. I'll have a looksie

edit: Well, I guess I could move them and ... no.. I doubt it. I don't think there's much of a problem, and we can just begin the practice from now on.

[Grief]

Well then whoever the mod is going to be will need to post now, after the cause/dibs match, if we're going to split up the matches.
Just something like "End of match 2-Cause/Drinksinbars, winner is:" or whatever.

So, for this idea, we can either use an existing mod, but i'm more in favour of having a specific UD mod, so as not to interfere with other mods. And for Coolness value.
Dunno what you'd call it though.

sorry, but I disagree. We have 5 alt mods running around already. I really see no reason to introducing yet another. If we manage to pull this thing through and start another game then I think i'd be fair to do so, but for now I am comfortable with the judges filling in.
