I am doing a poll amongst all the current participants. Do you think we should go ahead and implement a post limit? Fights can get a little long, so to help us all, I'm thinking of adding one. For anyone currently a part of a fight, post a yay or nay here. After we receive at least 20 yays or nays toward a choice, the poll will be decided.

Naw.
I mean, that just feels like it'll lead to a whole 'I'll wait it out and try to win' or pressure or something I dunno.

Isn't there already a time limit?

Waiting leads to defensive. Defensive leads to nothing happening. Nothing happening leads to low scores~

Irregardless, I don't see why its a problem, other than being impatient.

Edit: Nope wait, just got it. I was thinking from the wrong end.

I say no, but that's mainly because I've never felt any of my fights "drag out", so I'd like to think if I did have one that went long, it would still be interesting.

Even if you put one in place, it'd have to be at least 30 posts (although 35 seems better), based on the highest match so far having 27 posts already. Even then, it doesn't seem like many people are going to get much further than 35 posts to begin with; two, maybe three or four.

So I'd say yes, just so you don't have the potential for a fight to last for 5 pages, but make it high enough that most people won't really need to worry about it.

That's a good question that I cannot answer right now...

With how dangerous and fatal this tournament can get *looks at his fight*, I would say no.

Generally, if both guys are being aggressive these fights aren't gonna go for very long

and if they do then it must be a pretty bad a** fight.

Not having a post limit I think is tougher on the players and is just one more thing to help 'nudge' them towards working together.

Yeah, but make it fairly high.

Reason why I say "yes" is, people're looking at this from an optimistic point of view. But if you don't implement a time restriction, you'll have guaranteed a few people whose whole jobs will be to delay their KO as looooong as possible.

Will it reflect poorly on them? Yes.

In several weeks after the other fights are finished.

Honestly with an existing time limit, I would say no to a post limit, its going to cramp how the fight unfolds and develops.

I dont see why it is a problem for a fight to start out defensive and tactical, most warriors would start out that way growing more aggressive as they learned their opponents limits.

I think overall the concept has more possible negative ramifications, then it does positive ramifications.

If implemented I would suggest around 20-30 posts, otherwise I am honestly impartial to it. I truthfully doubt any fight will get to say 50 posts between two combatants, especially if the fight is going as aggressive like mine currently.
