Welcome to Gaia! ::

Property damage:

A warning, then a temp ban from fighting in the stadium (outside is still fine, as long as they don't damage the village), and if the individual repeatedly refuses to keep his destructive urges confined to within the arena he is currently fighting in (such as starting fights in the village and knocking over vending machines), they would be banned from fighting in the area altogether, as in, if they start something, it gets stopped by the security by force.



Fight types:

Hand-to-Hand: Strictly using two arms, two legs. No wings, tails, weapons, powers, anything if it can possibly be held back/taken off. More or less 'as humans do'.

Unarmed Melee: Same as hand-to-hand, except if they have extra appendages, tails or so, they are welcome to use them, so long as there are no powers or weapons involved, and things such as claws and spines are not used as weapons.

Weapons Match: Anything, as long as there are no powers used.

Powers Match: Same as Unarmed Melee, though powers are allowed, but not weapons.

Full-On: Anything goes.



Match Types:

Spar: Two opponents fight until a given conditional is reached. Attacks are not meant to injure the opponent, simply to 'score a hit'.

First Blood: Two opponents fight until one bleeds. Typically this would go with a Weapons Match.

Battle: Two opponents fight until one is injured enough to consider it a win by consent, submission, or a judge call. This is the standard tournament fare.

Death-Match: Two opponents fight until one is rendered unconcious, unable to fight, submits, or is killed. A judge call can also end it.





Example:

Hand-to-Hand Spar

Unarmed Melee Battle

If I remember correctly I think it was on an Island somewhere near gambino... but its been a long time since I was told this.

Its pretty sad that the three of us combined, do not know where teh frill, we are in teh world. gonk

Well, since the village thing would require being remote, and there wouldn't be many large coastal forrests on a tropical island resort-town like Gambino Isle, as well as the fact that we have no idea where the fleeb we are anyway, I propose we just mandate that we're somewhere near the coast on continental Gaia, rather than on some island somewhere...

I mean, wouldn't make too much sense for a stadium to be in a place where people have to take boats just to get there... bad for business.

well you dont necessarily need boats to get to some islands

*points to the florida keys and any numerous inland islands connected by highways and bridges*

but the thing thats confused me the most was the fact that by the way people describe the forest around the arena, its a temperate forest, with no signs of sub-tropical, or tropical floura... which fromt eh assumption of beign an island confused the bloody soup out of me.

I mean I havent heard much about fighters with bleeding knees & shins from haveing to rush through the saw palmettos... (most common childhood injury at my former elementary school)

For the surrounding area what we need is map almost litterally like gaia has with the individual bbuildings, if we could get one of those i could convert it to an Image map (the same way image map sigs are made) and link the sections to their individual threads.. unfortunately we cant dot eh rollover part due to sig code restrictions but an image map should be sufficent without haveing to rely on a offsite-site.

of course, I was simply shooting for a final goal. a bit premature but its good to have an idea hwere your headed.
