Battle Arena: Officially over.
« on: July 23, 2013, 07:43:26 pm »

BATTLE ARENA


This is a game that uses a new combat system that's been tested here.

It means that a turn lasts about 1/3 of a second, so you have to actually raise your sword before swinging, and actively dodge.

You hear that? That means that ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK won't work!

This will require actually thinking about your next move, reading your opponent, and using tactics and strategy.

But enough about that, here's how to make your charac--
Don't post your character in the thread, just put down that you are in, and then send me a PM, otherwise everyone will know what you are capable of!

Spoiler: Character setup! (click to show/hide)


REMEMBER NOT TO POST YOUR SHEET IN THE THREAD

PLAYERS:

- GreatWyrmGold
- Flabort 1 WIN! Vs. GreatWyrmGold
- Greenstarfanatic
- Chink
- HmH
- Slayerhero90
- Scapheap
- BFEL
- Imperial Guardsman
- Lukeinator
- Scionox
however many more I need.


If I forgot anything, I'll explain as needed and make changes to the rules sections to follow it.
If I mess up a turn or something, just tell me and I'll try to fix it, these are quite a few things to keep track of.

GOOD LUCK

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Would you like me to put in text bubbles in-game?

How would I make chat bubbles when a turn is only 1/3 of a second?
I'd have to do it only a couple words at a time...

Let me count the words I can say in five seconds. Well, I managed to get through these two sentences.

24 syllables in 5 seconds, about five syllables a second, about two per turn. Sound reasonable?

Sounds very reasonable.

I expect though that CRAZY FLABORT will probably be able to get out about twice this, though.
