So, after the tournament, I plan to make a roleplay thread for some sustaining roleplay.
What are your ideas for what the setting of it should be? I want it to have a city, at least.
One idea was for it to be the city Midus lives at, so we could build a story around the GTB during its off season while allowing non-fighting rp for others.

I like this idea, although Fireside would be a poor choice to maintain in that vein... he's here to subvert the world of the GTB so that the Burning Legion can conquer it. Don't think that would go over too well.

I was going to bring it out as an RP point in my fights, but haven't really gotten a chance to do so in a way that doesn't seem contrived. I guess if I make it to the finals I'll have Fireside reveal his real name and purpose.

The Third Crusade was 1189-1192. Also the most badassed of the Crusades.
Stereotypical claymores are a couple of centuries later, but historical accuracy has never been much of an issue in roleplay when it come to minutiae so who the ******** cares.

@Virtue: You asked about it. :: shrug ::
I just assumed in the 800 years or so since then, he picked one up, lol. Though, I have no clue in what year the tournament is set.
@Vintrict: Doesn't sound like a bad idea. I assume this would open things to more than the participants of this tournament?

I have a quick question: Does the threat of lethal injury from an ability count against you even if we aren't actually trying to kill the opponent?
Likewise, does declaring an intent of a deliberate lethal attack count against you even if you miss with it?

Sigil Warden I have a quick question: Does the threat of lethal injury from an ability count against you even if we aren't actually trying to kill the opponent? Likewise, does declaring an intent of a deliberate lethal attack count against you even if you miss with it? It depends. Everyone is intending to hurt someone one way or another. Sometimes, you might end up hitting the wrong place and someone will go "Oops." At the same time, you can usually comprehend when someone really wants to kill you. As I said, it depends. If it's lethal, try not to be so lethal with it. If you're using a chainsaw as a weapon, for instance, well...your waiver for legitimacy would be thrown out the window, to put things in perspective.

Hm, correct me if I'm wrong Vin but I believe I can answer those questions...
The prospect of accidentally killing your opponent may count against you in terms of scoring. That is to say that you unintentionally almost lost by DQ and might mark off points on strategy and maybe even other areas depending on the situation and character.
As for the other instance, in many ways it's the same. If you post with intent to kill your opponent, that IS bad strategy as you simply are asking for a DQ.
As far as our fight went though, I don't believe either of these were issues. I'm sure Fireside could have stopped barbecuing Thoma before Thoma died if he wished, and all of Thoma's attacks were to lead to death only if Fireside did not seek medical attention immediately. I think that the real blows to our scores, if they are present, will be accidental misuse of powers.
Edit: Just saw your post ^.^ Oh, and I'm headin off to bed, just sayin

I ask because Thoma tried three times in the fight to deliberately sever my limbs, and I wanted to know if that sort of thing is kosher or not, given that no matter what Okami says, that is definitely a lethal wound.

Well, I was actually waiting to see if that was going to happen so I could come in and say no, considering his blood technique wouldn't have been strong enough to sever a limb using claws. Claws are a tearing item, not a limb-removing item.
I guess to say, if he had did, it wouldn't really count against him. Taking a limb is fine. Striking a vital organ, such as the heart, would not be. Nor puncturing someone's stomach. Things of that nature will lead to death.
As I said, it's a case by case basis.

I'm not Vintrict.
Also, I don't think the setting matters, in regards to time, since the GTB isn't set on Earth. Gaia in general as a site and as a roleplaying locale as most people use it (and especially tournaments) is sort of a multiverse hub where you have participants coming in from every conceivable era or alternate history or.. whatever. You get like Space Romans fighting in tournaments besides Magic Mayans and time-traveling crusaders and demonic pirates or some s**t.
Hence why historical accuracy isn't a big deal unless you just like having your t's crossed and your i's dotted.

Oh, my bad. You're some other guy I don't know. Too many V names around here, lol.
But yeah, basically. I don't get what Virtue was getting at by bringing it up.

Alright, thanks for the explanation. <3

So are we going to be enforcing that 24 hour penalty thing because this is kind of ridiculous, especially when person's been logged on. I mean, if you can't really even make the commitment to post why even bother playing?
