Welcome to Gaia! ::

Since Noire left, I may have someone take his spot. Or just have the two people without an opponent duel it out, and extend the date by two days.

It's just a general statement. I know plenty of women who don't have a problem with just punching someone in the mouth if they get pissed.

But overall, I think men are openly aggressive more than women, which explains things like wrestling, boxing, etc and why these are largely billed as masculine sports, even if women do them in smaller leagues.

And if someone doesn't have an opponent right now, or the opponent didn't show, or the person has been left hanging, give them a bye.

A person should be rewarded for the fact that they've stuck around. It's not their fault their opponent didn't show.

Plus, easier to deal with.

This tournament is about roleplay. There's stories to be developed, entertainment to be brought, and yes, there is the technical stuff that no good roleplay can go without. So, just try to balance it from your point of view, and you'll have a much better look in the judges' eyes.

[Sniff.] This could either turn out awesome or leave me and Mooo really screwed over in the next 10 seconds in-fight, not sure which.

To be honest Tres, I don't know...never had the problem. Always asked OOC about the technique so I could get it right...If you ask me, thats the correct way to go about...whether asking in pms or on the thread, doesn't matter.

Tonights Ramblings from Terren: So, why are older brothers assholes to their younger sisters? Or just in general, why are older siblings assholes to the younger siblings?

Deity let that part slide, remember? > >;

What he changed were his actions in response to his hold around Tres' neck being broken (...the hold, not his neck). You yourself said it would be easy to break and never at any point in that post mentioned holding the arm during or afterward.

Only after Deity decided to use said arm did you go back on what was established and say that Tres was holding it. Because the side control was interrupted, yes? So you changed your action to suit the new situation.

The original action Deity took (sliding out from under Tres) would not have been decided upon if his arm was caught by his opponent, so he thus changed what his character did according to the new info that you presented, that being that Deity's left arm was now restrained.

You did the same thing, so he doesn't see what the problem is.

@Terren: Deity just thinks it's a sibling thing... Dx; ...he's called an a*****e by his older sister all the time.

I did say it would be easy to break, but at no time did I mention releasing the arm until after he reached side control.

It was never established that he would let go before he would reach side control. Since the side control was interrupted, he never let go. I never changed anything.

I am obviously trying to go as in detail as possible, but I operate under the belief that If I grab something then It is held until otherwise noted. It was only noted that his right hand was doing something different, until after he reached side control and went for the keylock.

I didn't do the same thing. So there is a problem.

but that is all irrelevent, I wasn't reffering to any of this. I was reffering to the thing with the bad half guard you tried to pull, and now it isn't happening because I had to tell you a double leg is not a tackle.
