Spoiler: How to play, READ THIS FIRST! (click to show/hide)

A duel is sort of like a freeform picture based combat game, which is also sort of like Photoshop Tennis.

First, the challenger posts the battlefield and starting conditions as well as the challenging character.  The first person who wants to join does so, by taking the original picture and editing their combatant in with a little bit of narrative.

I got this idea from the MSPA forums, in which there was a fun looking forum game called DUEL.

Link to a good example game

The only rule I really know about is to be polite, and don't overpower your combatant's moves.

Generally, the more damage an attack does, the more turns it takes to charge.  Anyways, I'm op so I'll go ahead and post the first image as well as narration.

In order to keep the images the same size, we also need to use the same image site.

I suggest Tinypic.

A lone man stands in his tower, awaiting yet another victim to fall to his vast arsenal of weapons.

Posting, give me a sec

EDIT: Actually, can we have a multiplayer free-for-all? That'd be quite... !!FUN!!. Perhaps 3-4 players on one map.

It'll be more work, but it can be arranged.  It may mess up the whole turn-based aspect as well.

Sure, why not.  2 slots left since you joined.

There was a freeforall picture wars some time ago. It died though.

Never done this before, but I'm in. Am I waiting on Ehndras?

[freeformschooler]

I'd normally be in but I'm ridiculously busy. Watching.

In.

I suppose that we could just start whenever, just go ahead.  If you're the second to post your turn, then your turn will always be second.

Suddenly:



War-Zeppelin! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

[jc6036]

Is that. . . is that a zeppelin?!


OH HELL NO.

The man grabs his Trusty Rifle, and prepares to fire.  It will take him one turn to properly situate and aim the weapon.

[Ehndras]

Hmm, I'm going to place myself in the image and initiate my first turn, then I might possibly be offline for a day or two :|

Feel free to kill me, but I'm going to do some damage before I go...

[Ghazkull]

wait what he needs one turn to aim at a ZEPPELIN? XP

[jc6036]

Yeah, one turn is a good amount of time just to get the rifle up to his shoulder and aim.

Also, since Ehndras is now posting, the turn order is

jc6036--->Blademaster--->Ehndras--->?

[Powder Miner]

I'll take that slot, just waiting for Ehndras than I'll join.

[jc6036]

Woot!  Looks like all of the slots are filled, great.
