Tresondros Ecstuffuan And this...Sokoya's scores from my fight. Vintrict's scores were the opposite because he doesn't know what the ******** he is talking about. Comments From Sokya Same story as above, in that you scored way too high for this fight to be in the first round. I didn't dock you on the grease ability, as I didn't have any issues with it. Looking over your card, I'm sure you can see that the only reason you lost was because of the Killing Blow. It's unfortunate, but dem da rules. You have a solid knack for making sure that the fight stays as exciting as you can manage, willing to sell attacks and work with opponents. It allows for an easy read, though I do have a small suggestion. When you consistently refer back to your character, try to change up the wording a bit. Seeing Tres this, Tres that, Tres did this then Tres did that then Tres did this again get's tiresome. Referring to him as 'The Psion' and 'The People's Champion' and so on gives you a chance to change things up and possibly better describe him. Tres, this doesn't tell me much other than Sok thought your fight was basically 'fine'. I got pretty much the same feedback. I'm not trying to say that you fight was awful or whatever, just that it wasn't any more exceptional than mine, hence why I find your claim that your way is the best way to be suspect.

Sigil Warden Tres, this doesn't tell me much other than Sok thought your fight was basically 'fine'. I got pretty much the same feedback.

Basically based on what you said I might as well have been playing with 'generic fighter #1'. I never said that I was the best. However, I do think I have the right idea about how to approach role play, especially role play fights. Now I have never once said, your way of approaching it is wrong. Hell, we might be approaching it the same way. However, I would take the moment to ask Fierach if he is having a good time because that is what matters. If he is. Then good job but if not... Well...KB was telling me he had a good time with our match.

Lucid Red Herring Sieg... this is the MOST I've seen you throw jabs and hooks in a conversation. Vintrict must have really got to you? My pet peeve is people who cannot admit any sort of fault under any circumstances no matter what. Vintrict has taught me that.

Sieg's approach to RP is what makes up for his actual RP ability which needs work because I think he is till transitioning from his old technical days. s**t like that is hard to work out the system is you were around back then.

Colonel Iyam A Heita Sigil Warden Tres, this doesn't tell me much other than Sok thought your fight was basically 'fine'. I got pretty much the same feedback.

Sieg's approach to RP is what makes up for his actual RP ability which needs work because I think he is till transitioning from his old technical days. s**t like that is hard to work out the system is you were around back then. This is very true. I notice it when I go back through and read my post. The Sieg that was the first to really use MMA in RP fights where I would write pages upon pages of what essentially amounted to technical information for a single movement. It was all because I wanted to win and I didn't care about anything but making sure Sieg went over. I did win a lot but I ended up being the guy nobody wanted to play with. I was bad. I acknowledge that. I still have a lot of those bad habits. I am trying to work on them.

I doubt he is, but that is mostly his fault, and it has nothing to do with the power of my character. Out of consideration for the opponent, and to stay within the realm of reasonable and logical actions, I only gained charges when it made sense to do so, and tried to heavily vary my fighting by occasionally taking Tyra out of her comfort zone.
My reward was him basically repeating the same two-move combo over and over between retreating, and refusing to accept anything besides minor lacerations, even when it was physically impossible for him to have avoided what I was doing, or even when I used his own move against him.
And what this boils down to is that I am not having fun, so I don't give a s**t about what my opponent is feeling. I sell myself, and my opponent when he deserves it. This was not mirrored, and the reasoning for it was that my character is overpowered. Lawl, okay.

Tresondros Ecstuffuan I still have a lot of those bad habits. I am trying to work on them. Well I think now that a lot of old influence to Role-play like that are gone, a good majority are trying to achieve a nice balance between that technical-manual like script and the haphazard fun we had when we ran around being NarutoGokuIchigo-asshats. Sigil is in that NarutoGokuIchigo stage atm... he will eventually understand though.

Though this isn't an expectation one could have of roleplayers, since people treat Gaia Tournaments in a similar fashion they'd treat video games, I still propose a solid theory which I make effort to abide by to this day as food for thought.
In the event of exchanging actions in a fight, if a person was able to outwit you and found a credible answer to your method of combat, wouldn't it be fair to concede to the fight and grant your opponent victory.
This makes a great concept, but when it comes to practice everyone falls short. I know why, but I wanna hear thoughts, since we're moving to the subject of viewpoints on roleplaying and the thought process behind fighting.

That is exactly my style of play, though. I get upset when the reason for the avoidance of an attack is "Well, if I take that hit I will lose.", which is possibly the shittiest reason to do that ever.

This was not mirrored, and the reasoning for it was that my character is overpowered. Lawl, okay. You guys are essentially engaging in a one on one role play. If you both realize your not having fun, then why don't you guys talk to each other and work it out? Because if your not having fun, then what is the point? You are supposed to be entertaining one another while at the same time challenging each other. It is competitive but you can't let that competitive nature of this event, blot out what is essential which is the enjoyment of your fellow role player. Because if you can't entertain one another then how are you gonna entertain a judge? Vintrict doesn't count because he clearly doesn't read this s**t anyway. Now I'm not gonna say its a 100% your fault but one of you should have messaged the other and been like: "Hey look, we aren't enjoying this. The judges damn sure ain't gonna enjoy it either, so we need to change it up." Because ultimately, if your both just doing this s**t because you were matched up against each other, then there is literally no point.

Sigil Warden Have you read my writing in full? Not a ******** line lol but that's not what I am referring to though. It's the mentality... like I can tell it's not there yet. How you ask? The character you entered and her skill set. Nothing innately wrong with it but... it's not tournament proper. Now you can blame that on Vintrict and Profile grading but I generally blame it on your lack of experience in this particular circuit. After you have involved yourself in a few events you will see what is generally acceptable. It's like comics or cross-platform fighting games. Sure the individual is tailored to be able to tactical these ridiculous feats in their own story arc but when confronted by another hero or villian from an alternative story line, the creators find a way to balance the characters to current arc at hand or even each other if they are destined to fight one another.
