Why are ya'll doing prelims this year anyway? It's just going to let other people scout out their opponents.

Because anyone can enter as long as they're not overpowered in the bio... and we've had some god-awful people a few times. We've also had ones that did their best to make a scene, or failed at fair play, or things like that.


As for preliminaries? Hell, I dunno. Wasn't my idea, I just wrote how it was to be done.

Psh. Scouting. Anyone who cared enough to do it would have done it already anyways. A single round against a random person isn't going to change anything in that department.

Curious, what would qualify as not fair play?

For instance, eye gouging, low blows, etc.? I've read a few threads, and while most of them didn't wind up in death, a lot of them were rather brutal.

Also, how do you donate? Do I give it to Kraun?

Don't have a lot, but I can donate around 30-50k, since I won't be able to get any art for Ebris with that kind of money and I have no use for it otherwise.
I believe general unsportsmanlike conduct warrants a yellow flag.

So, y'know...

Eye gouging, nut crushing, sand throwing, etc... would probably fall under that.

Ertai was in the first year.

He bitched SOOOOO much when his team got owned in the first round for... y'know... sucking...

Anyone who knows that type of player can probably understand what I mean when I say "you try to hit me but I will it to not be so, then collapse the cosmos upon you". Sure, the second part gets ruled out through HoH, but you know that's what he was expecting to happen.



I remember in one post (let me stress that there) Noire did something involving paralyzing his opponent, attacking, and supposedly making the person be hit by their own attack because of something involving his fingernail touching their leg or something, despite that earlier in the post he made it pretty clear that his hands were nowhere near the leg and so on. I think when asked about it he said something about anticipating the attack and reacting by doing the fingernail thing... I also think he was supposed to have done all this while electricity was being pumped through his body. And I do mean while it was happening, and not after it happened. "I take no damage from your electric attack because after you hit me with it I moved my hand so that it hits you instead and does no damage to me despite that I was already hit by it before reacting".

Something like that.




We're also screening for "i put on mai robe and wizurd hat".

Oh wow, that sounds about as awesome as the GTB. o_o;

Reminds me of this one guy I was fighting in the GTB...the only guy, actually. His opening move was instantaneously moving several times faster than the speed of sound, tearing up the entire arena after his wake, and then come to a complete stop right before my guy in a single instant. Big, tough arr-pee'ers gotta be awesome and ignore inertia like that.

I got food poisoning around that time, but even if I hadn't, I was pretty much done with the GTB after that happened.

But yeah, s**t, I was just worried about what Designated covered - my guy's modus operandi is to usually take out his marks as quickly as possible, so he fights dirty. However, he's gotta take a break from all the srs bzns of being a Bounty Hunter, so he should be able to hold himself back a wee bit.

...so biting and throat punching is okay?

...yeah, pretty much.

Sand in the eyes, not so much. Deliberate nutshot? Probably not.

But throat punching is a legitimate tactic. As is sticking them in an artery and dodging the rest of the fight while you wait for them to bleed out.

...seriously. If you let a guy get into a position where he can bite you then you're not beating the s**t out of him hard enough. Unless he like... bites your first or something. Then you just punch him again. With the same hand. Into a wall.

Did that to Vahn once. 'll teach him not to put strange things in his mouth.



So would you rather it be disallowed, and all the feral characters and vampires of Gaia would just have to go without? Should we require people to trim their fingernails before stepping in the ring?

Natural weapons.




edit: Also, it'd be pretty hypocritical for it to not be allowed. Considering last year members of my team ATE 3 people... or at least pieces of them.

Knuckle dusters are good at dissuading people from doing that. Wouldn't want to get a Staph Infection, after all.

They're also good at knocking teeth out.
Ye Olde Tavern should allow underhanded tactics.

Fits with the whole BAR FIGHT scenario.
