YummyBiscuits Sigil Warden Legion_of_Nazareth I really hope my opponent if he wins makes it to fight sigil, him and that damned shield of his. Would serve her right to wail on that shield and get nowhere. Lol bearded axes. Shield user cries. Collect guap. I hope you know axes aren't the super weapon most people assume them to be. Just saying. The point is that I hook the shield, yank it down and slam the other one in his face. Not rocket science.

This soap is getting uninteresting. Will freaking Tres and Vin just kiss and make up already, it's getting really old. Honestly, you can feel the raw sexual energy they throw at eachother.
This Sigil character obviously needs to get a room with whoever this grim skies is, even though their relationship will ultimately end in disappointment, dispare and possibly childbirth, it will be the sheer joy of a relationship that is so entertaining to watch.
And this Doji character, freaking standing above it all secretly pulling all the strings, little do any of the character's understand the true workings of his mind, and that in there lies the problem I have with this character he is completely unrelatable and irrealisc.
All and all I give, The Glisting Debate of Balance: A GTB Story, a 4 out of 10, the show has it's heart in the right place but they way the character's don't mesh gets in the way of the viewer. Though I will still call myself a fan, I'll wait until everyone has walked out my door before I start debating plot twists and turns, who knows maybe they will pull it all together in the ending half, here's rooting for VinXTres and SigilXSkies,
Ps: 20 bucks says that Darth is actually the father.

It's difficult to actually do with a skilled shield users, besides the fact gaia fights are much more fast paced than what we see in movies/re-enactments. I know all about re-enactments. I'm the Arab guy at the local renaissance shin-dig, and man, I wish I was as fast as Marx

Sigil Warden @Grim I have a kinetic shield. Bullets don't scare me. That aside, if it was a lethal shot I would take it, much like I ate the one from Slash. He figured out my character's weakness (in no small part because I told him that her weakness was her skeleton) and auto-KOed her. That wasn't me trying to get him DQed, he pulled off a fatal move that I didn't know how she could reasonably get out of, so it hit. If others can't afford that same courtesy to me, it's their fault, not mine. Corollary: Everyone should make lethal attacks in a fighting tournament that is supposed to be a competition, not a fight to the death, both IC and OOC. So if you take the stance that the competitive aspect is supreme and supersedes all else, then all this boils down to is min-maxing your kit, which you seemed to earnestly try to do. Then you have everyone entering basically the same generic build with highly lethal, low effort attacks and throwing those together. So at what point along the line does any of this require some actual thought and skill worth note? I'm saying getting ultra-competitive in RP is ultimately self-defeating. Then all it comes down to is a debate full of theorycrafting, not any kind of challenging fight, and certainly not any kind of RP. If that's what you want, that's fine. But in my experience I can save you some time. That's not what these tournaments are about. I mean, if we really need to we can go to Ertai level if you need to see why that s**t isn't fun or remotely interesting in the end. But I don't care. I've made my point, so with genuine honesty all I have to say at this point to you is that you're not going to find what you're looking for here. Not that I think you should go. Calling out your s**t has been a lot of fun for me, let me tell you.

Vintrict I also don't inform people on how they fight with their characters. I don't tell them "If you're going to use boxing, I better see some legit tactics that are used in boxing." If I see something that doesn't make sense, like someone throwing a hook and trying to say it was as fast as a jab in the relative sense against an opponent with equal competence and reflexes, I'll say so in my comments. Because that's not something you control in profile grading, it's something you control in fight grading. Irrelevant analogy because it has nothing to do with this context. How a person fights, whether or not they do well, is determined by what they do in the fight. What their character can do, the limitations of their power, is determined by what's in the profile, which you have the ultimate say over. Entirely different contexts, one is nothing like the other in even the remotest sense of the term. Quote: It's not my responsibility for people to keep up with this knowledge. Except it is. It's up to you to inform people of what you expect from their profiles. They don't just magically know. Are you really so going to suggest that "People should already know what I expect from their profiles and I don't have to tell them" is any sort of a valid statement? Quote: You come to this tournament to test this knowledge against other people. Yes, people should test knowledge that they aren't made aware of against other people. That really makes sense. Here, join this competition without knowing how to win! Quote: We're a competition, not a school. If we see something off, we'll say so. We do what we can to inform people how to do well here, but it's up to you to make it logical to us. Even competitions have rules and expectations. If someone presents a profile that is lacking a required element for balance and you let them in without telling them to balance it.. you can't turn around and hold it against them for not doing something they were never aware of being required to do. If you're not going to use profile grading to balance profiles, don't bother having profile grading. It literally serves no other purpose beyond that, and all you did was waste time this year by having it if you never actually tried to balance profiles or fix them. Since, according to you, people should already know how to balance their profiles, and it's not your job to tell them. That means that profile grading is entirely irrelevant. So why have it? Quote: This has nothing to do with profile grading, It has everything to do with profile grading. You had an expectation regarding how their profile worked. You didn't tell them, and let them into the tournament without ever informing them about how they were supposed to use that system. And now you're going to penalize them for playing their character the way you told them it was okay to play, because you never told them "Your system needs this element to it to be balanced?" The fault is yours, and only yours. It's your job to grade profiles, and if you don't tell someone to make a change that they need to change and you let them in ANYWAYS, then that's entirely your fault. You chose not to tell them, they clearly weren't aware because it's not in their profile. Your choice, your mistake, your fault. Quote: and anyone who uses that as an excuse will just have to wake up to the reality of what it means to join a roleplay tournament. Correction, to join the GTB: where the judges penalize you for doing things that you never knew were illegal because no one told you, or where your score will be downgraded because you didn't implement something into your profile, despite the fact that you were never told to and never knew to. Sorry, other tournaments have actual profile grading, this phenomena is unique to the GTB. Quote: Over all tournament it has been like this: your profile is let in as it is, but you get graded if you do something illogical in the fight. So why even have profile grading then, if you let them in "as is"? If you're not going to try to amend their profiles or balance them, or try to inform them of what's wrong, then why grade profiles? You're basically admitting that profile grading doesn't matter, and you nerfed profiles only on a whim without any reasoning. Quote: There have been times when I have seen judges make bad calls despite the ability having been let, but sometimes, you just have to judge based on the fight as a whole, And sometimes you can actually grade profiles to make sure people don't get in with OP abilities, or with systems that don't fit your schema. What a novel concept, right? You don't allow certain things in, so when people enter with those things, you tell them and they fix it.. instead of just letting them in. Quote: and you can't ever fix a character fully during the entry phase. Well no s**t, if you don't actually grade profiles of course you can't fix a character. Quote: We're not a profile grading school. Don't act like this is suppose to be a high class tournament where everything is perfect. Then why have profile grading? If you're not going to fix the errors or do any balancing, why have it at all? Yeah, I guess I shouldn't have had expectations about, you know, s**t making sense, people being logical, or judges doing their job. I'll be sure to remember that this is the GTB, where you intentionally lie to your participants about what is or isn't allowed, where profile grading serves no purpose, and where people are expected to follow rules that aren't in the rulebooks or to make profile changes that they aren't told to. Quote: If you want perfection, go enter a martial art competition, sneak a brick into your glove, and when you're caught and DQ'd, complain to them that it's their fault for letting you in with said brick due to their poor inspections. It's not perfection, it's basic common sense. It's the entire purpose of profile grading. Another analogy that doesn't work. In a martial arts tournament, the rule about what's disallowed is obvious. In this instance, you're literally penalizing someone for a rule that they were never told about, or for changes to their profile they were never told to make. Sorry, your analogy is nothing like this situation. One is cheating and the violation of clear and present rules, the other is just you making zero sense and expecting people to do things they were never told to do.

Vintrict You're right. The length of time is skewed depending on how long each post takes. However, realize that each post more likely than not is going to have some action being expended, whether it's swinging a weapon liek Aetyra's, running around, dodging, or doing whatever. Each of those is taking something away. Therefore, that is what I want to see in those posts. I don't want to see "after x number of posts, my character is finally exhausted after doing all these DBZ moves without fault or tiring." Cause there isn't a specific number of posts when that happens. You're suppose to feel it, and that's what I'll be looking for. Vin fighters who are on the lighter side, like the featherweight MMA fighters can fight a 3 hard three minute matches while keeping a regular high pace. Sure its not DBZ but an MMA round would take several pages of RP to accomplish. However we aren't talking about humans. We are talking about monsters and inhuman things. So still what you are saying doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Just because there is an attack every post doesn't mean they are going DBZ, it means they are fighting likely at a high pace...if that...

Good thing it's practically impossible to parry an axe with a sword and her armor absorbs blunt force (which is what a vibration is).

I am not opposed if the hot undead chick brings the oil again. We can make this work.
