calm before the storm eh? That's when I killed Yamcha and 18 killed me...never quite made it to the actual games I guess...oh well...

So is this going to be on a certain planet and if so, do we need to make our way there before hand, or are we going to be teleported there for free?

[Burter Jr]

Sorta like in your scene, if Rad and 18 were oblivious to your nearby prescence, and you had told the writer you wanted to use SSJ2 tier, you'd bust on and cap them both in the act before they even blink? Or would you contact them first and say "Forewarning: Do you want to use a powerup?"

I wouldn't have known Rad and 18 were nearby either. So if I had said I wanted to go SKK in my next fight, it'd be completely out of safety. It's not like I'd know Rad was nearby so I go SKK.

No, there is no forewarning. If you want to be on the safe side, power-up. If not, don't.

And even though logically you'd be fucked by any power-up against you, x5 or x10 isn't a huge advantage. x20 is a large advantage and x40, you better start crying

And to clarify, there are tools in the weapons list that allow you to get a glimpse of where people are. I won't be revealing anything more then that

There will be a 7 day pre-show period as I reveal contestants, starting on June 2nd, leading to June 8th.

Teleported there for free. You'll sign-up in character, and after the sign-ups close I will gradually teleport people as I choose them for the game.

[Super Buu]

I reckon we should be given the option to power up or not as we're entering a fight, when both people know who they're fighting. Otherwise winning and losing becomes pretty much guesswork. It would make more IC sense, too. Like, I can't see in a fight Rad saying "damn, he's too strong, I could go SSJ and pwn him easily but there's a mysterious force stopping me." >_>

[Burter Jr]

You reckon wrong, because the fights will only be revealed for about an hour as I write the fight up, and so everyone in the fight may not be online and it's leaned on people who are on Chubbs 24/7.

And I don't know if I said this, but I'm not looking for critism or suggestions here. I'm telling you how it's gonna be.

/asshole

EDIT:

And to counter the suggestion you made, there are a ton of ways around that. Rad could be trying to prove he could pwn someone without powering up, or he could be attacked before getting a chance

[Super Buu]

I know, but I gave it a shot anyway. I can hope.

In other news I'm pissed because my BR DVD has gone missing.

[Burter Jr]

The movie is on youtube.com.

[Kaden]

Can we PM you saying something like "if someone transforms to fight me I want to go SSJ"? Or are you not going to allow contingencies like that?

[Burter Jr]

I suppose that's okay. You'd still be under the same restraints of being tired afterwards

[Old Captain Silver]

what if we already have a weapon? Does that not count in this thing? and if not, the weapon I have is tied directilly to his body, so what would I do?

[Burter Jr]

All items are stripped from you.

What's your "weapon on your body?"

[Old Captain Silver]

Basically, I have a tattoo that is on my body and it links me to my weapon (Jyuken- a bo-staff, see my spiritken training for more details) and If I get to far away from the weapon, then I go into a coma. Though when I am not using the staff it stays in the tattoo, kinda like a carrying device. You could just make it so the staff can't come out due to some force or something, or not allow me to enter, which would suck

[Alexander Trafford]

RP inventing a magical medicine of miracles. and take that. then you won't go into a coma during Dante's Abyss.

[Burter Jr]

I'll likely simply make it so the staff is un-usable.

[Ruhiel]

Wait, hold up, something you said about "not knowing where anyone is" caught my attention.

Does this mean that both Ki Sense 3 and Telepathy are null and void in this? Because you need to be able to pick up someone's ki to use telepathy, and to do that, you need ki sense (at least that's how I've always done it). So are both of these techniques worthless in this case?

[Piccolo Daimoun]

Melee Ki moves useable? Like the one I have called 'Soul Claws'.

[Jonathan Meer]

Twenty uses Ki Sense for Telepathy? Krillin just yells it out really loud, all across the universe.

You mentioned something about alliances being temporary or something? Me and Twenty would never feasibly attack each other IC. Would that be respected in DA, or would we theoretically HAVE to fight each other at some point in time, if neither of us died?

Right. Ki Sense and Telepathy are void. You'll get a scouter, which is strictly for reading ki in fights.

I didn't say that. They last as long as you want.

Of course, only one person wins, so logically, some alliances are bound to be broken by betrayal.

You'd fight if

A) You walked into the same square without alligning

B) Were alligned and were the final 2.

C) Were alligned and one of you turned on the other

I can come up with reasons on my own. It could be accidental, like Krillin shoots a warning shot and blows 20's face off. Random ideas come to me.

Face to Face

Android 17 and Hellfighter 17

Android 17 did a little dance on the mountain to attract potential victims, holdingh is GPS Tracker.

Hellfighter 17 suddenly appeared from behind him, screaming. "I R TEH BEST 17!"

The 'normal' 17 spun around and flipped backwards, avoiding HF's attack. When 17 landed, HF slashed his sword towards him.

"OMG MY HAND!" 17 screamed, watching his metal palm fall to the ground, leaving the wires from his wrist exposed. "OMG OMG OMG OMG!"

HF lunged at A-17, but A-17 headbutted Hellfighter, taking his sword and kicking him back.

Hellfighter turned to run, "NOES!"

A-17 threw the sword at his oppenent, piercing it through HF's back, out his chest, and causing him to roll down the mountain. At the bottom, he exploded.

#01 Hellfighter 17 DEAD

39 Fighters Remaining

Android 17 has lost his entire left hand.

The Sword has been destroyed.

This is a sample post

[Hellfighter 17]

I hate you for posting that. </3

PD: I'd imagine so since it is one of your moves, but BJ would have to clarify.

If we were in an alliance, like FKC is, do we have to state to you that we are allied, or is it automatic?

Also, will you ever have it so that one person will concede in a match but both participants stay in the game?

Pick a number between 44 and 1.

[Super Buu]

Lucky number 8?
