Earth Tournament - Sage - 08-11-2009
Absolutely. It works exactly like Trafford just explained.
Earth Tournament - Rafael - 08-11-2009
Huh. I originally imagined it that way as well but was told to RP based on stats and skills, and that CA was a judging tool as opposed to a raw number. Otherwise I may as well have forfeited before we even started since I'm less than 1/4 of your CA and the whole Earth Tournament thing is kind of pointless since you clearly couldn't ever since the closest competition was less than half your CA.
Earth Tournament - Celena - 08-11-2009
As far as I've seen, the participants have advanced through the tournament by the quality of their writing. Cain's CA was double Mal Nova's yet Cain barely won their fight, and if you were to analyze their RP's I'd say Cain's was better. That should say something.
Earth Tournament - Alexander Trafford - 08-11-2009
I think quality of writing is the determining factor, i definitely only consider quality when i'm reading posts. I think CA is just used as a factor in the writing, like i might write how i'm stronger then you, but that doesn't mean i'm always going to win, or that i'm always going to be pummeling you, like we've seen so far. I'm not even concerned that you wrote that your faster than me, because all it takes is for one punch to land, catch Alex off guard and you would BE faster than him, for the time being, since he is off-balanced and vulnerable. Like i said, it's not a big deal at all and i don't care, i was just letting you know for future reference.
Earth Tournament - Kaden - 08-11-2009
CA was considered.
EDIT: I definitely consider CA when looking at anything for judging.
Earth Tournament - Mal Nova - 08-11-2009
heh this is a new reset and no ones really a god in this tourn. so i didnt see a reason to look at it at all
Earth Tournament - Alexander Trafford - 08-12-2009
Post coming extremely soon, might be a bit after the 11:54 A.M. 48 hour segment, but not long after. Had to reformat my computer.
Earth Tournament - Mal Nova - 08-12-2009
You people reformat your shit to much!
Earth Tournament - Cain - 08-12-2009
I thought stats > CA too. You live, you learn.
Earth Tournament - Mal Nova - 08-12-2009
Heh I dont look at your shit... Never had to..
Never felt a need to...
I just wrote it back and forth....
Earth Tournament - Rafael - 08-13-2009
My goodness. Short of ripping off my arms and beating me with them you went pretty crazy
Earth Tournament - Vad - 08-13-2009
It was an attempt to keep you down. He's planning on you getting back up, but Trafford, his character, wanted you to stay down.
Earth Tournament - Alexander Trafford - 08-13-2009
actually you're rp kinda irked me a little bit, so i probably went a little overboard. more or less, your character has temporary burns on his chest and is in a lot of pain - i just wrote it very descriptively. i don't think that's going too far considering you seriously overexaggerated your speed to do a number on me, disregarded a wide spraying ki attack like it was nothing (the spare change, Alex can't make normal ki blasts so he creates them out of other items, the spray of change was the equivelent of about ten ki blasts).
Earth Tournament - Cain - 08-13-2009
Congratulations on keeping both of your cool's as well as you did, assuming you both GMed.

I quit an unmentionable, fairly prominent, rpg at the time after being on the business end of God Modding that was unchecked, even in a sponsored saga. At the same time said God Modder also "bunnied" my character as a total wuss. All unchecked by the authorities for whatever reasons. The guy might even be staff there. Maybe the more fame you have the more you can get away with. Regardless of the reason, god modding is repulsive.

For all intents and purposes someone could use a super attack (pp cost) and decimate you. Maybe. . . "If so and so uses a PP attack, short of healing, regeneration, or excessive CA (and still even then in some cases) the receiver is veritably fucked (if the post is well written)." It's clear some things have their uses but at what point do we draw the line with who gets to do what? Sure, A can regenerate, but if B decides his/her character isn't winded and it goes unmentioned (out of sight, out of mind), C (the judge) is liable to carry on with the events depicted. Realism isn't often strived for in this environment, I understand that. But isn't some realism in our roleplays, for the sake of writing something that's not utter shit, necessary? Maybe not.
Should A be disqualified for issuing an extreme, uncalled for (based on stats) beat down? Does B have the right to do the same thing if it's done and one is not disqualified? Should B be forced to explain how their character recovers from an unexplainable "ass being handed to them" situation? Where are the morals? Are we just competing or are we trying to learn something and have fun?
It's a fucking game, so unless you're out to be the 1337 champion of everyone ever because you have an inferiority complex, don't abuse each others characters wrongfully. You'll both have sore toes if you repeatedly step on one-another's.. (grammar?) That's my opinion.
Earth Tournament - Vad - 08-13-2009
I'm honestly speechless. You'll hear from me soon enough.
=/
Earth Tournament - Celena - 08-13-2009
Yeah, it was pretty steep.
Earth Tournament - Vad - 08-13-2009
Oriole as well as Trafford did not cross any boundary, continue RPing as planned. With Oriole's final post I can finalize the judging process.
Earth Tournament - Alexander Trafford - 08-13-2009
I honestly didn't think GMed, and i don't think Oriole did either. Generally i RP my character getting his ass kicked and i decided to actually let him have some level of success.
Earth Tournament - Kaden - 08-13-2009
So is there actually an issue about this, or are both involved parties fine?
EDIT: Cain, you're welcome to start a new thread about how people view God Modding and bunnying and all that, but this isn't the place to continue that discussion. Just a heads up.
Earth Tournament - Rafael - 08-14-2009
Nah, no issues here. My last post is in, so let the judging begin whenever!Good luck Trafford!
