Any two abilities they have

So, pretty much all of my abilities are banned. -_-

Unless you'd rather have people teleporting or flying across the map, healing every injury they get, or finding out where people are when no one else can, stop complaining.

Question: the fact that you are now writing the fights is to create realism and save time, correct?

Pretty much. Giving people the right to choose their own fights in DA 04 wasn't the brightest idea we've ever had

[Dave]

Okay, since your writing all the fights do we just go like,

"I'm gonna mve to E-2"(of course we RP it, right?) so we do, an then are you like "So and so is here would you like to attack him/her?" and if we says yes, then you write the fight?

[Banned Dana]

I personally think that this is brilliant BJ.

Another question.

Abilities that pertain to races, ie: Namekians and regen, Androids and undetectable, will these still exist or are they too banned for the sake of fairness? I only ask because Androids don't grow tired, but you said earlier that they will in the saga...

No. You'll PM me "I'm gonna move to E-2" and if someone is in the square, you'll be thrown into a fight with them. There isn't a choice in the matter.

If you want to broadcast your position to everyone, you can. That's your choice.

The Namekian thing will be voided. The Android thing doesn't really matter

[Dave]

Wow, this is kinda like a cage match, you have to fight to survive. Can you hide? or will it not matter?

[Burter Jr]

You can find a spot and stay there, hoping no one comes by you. But of course, if someone does go onto your square, the fight is then ran

[Dave]

Ah. I see. I'm looking foward to this, its gonna be...differnt.

[Ashe]

Anyone see Nick Arcade, that arcade style gameshow that used to get shown on Nickolodeam all the time (and I've still seen it sometimes, although its a show from the early mid nineties). You know the Mikey game they played around the middle before the "virtual reality" style game? Yeah, that is what this is reminding me of. Every single time I move squares I'm going to hear that little theme played with that black guy singing the little songs he'd make up as Mikey walked squares.

[Kaden]

I think one of the thing people aren't getting is that the map won't show where people are. Burter will have a master map for his own use, but, other than that, we'll only know where the other members are if they say so in their RPs. So we're moving around blindly, so to speak.

[Super Buu]

The Namekian thing is void? Does that mean regen is banned altogether, or just that it doesn't count for your 2 abilities? And do Power-Ups and Zenkai take up slots? I ask about the second one because it doesn't really 'do' anything IC.

Yes, the namekian thing is void for the sake of injuries. For the Buus, I'll probably have something in the collar that interupts the bodies ability to recreate lost skin.

No, Power-Ups and Zenkai don't take up slots

[John Doe]

How do we earn zeni and, if you are doing this, points.

[Burter Jr]

It'll depend on placing. Points are not a factor.

Ah. Point taken.

[Burter Jr]

Yep. Everyone is capable the same type of injuries (they're in categories, more on that another time).

Danger zones will be added periodically, so as people dwindle down, so will the places that you can move to. BJ already said about the danger zones thing, but I'm bringing it up again to help illustrate that this will take even more strategy.

[John Doe]

Porn+Danger zones=Death

Think about it, lure someone into a dager zone with porn, that person sits down and stares at it, the place becomes a danger zone, BOOOOOM!!!!

Edit: just reilised that I am the 200th post on this tread. :]

[Blue]

Hmm... I'm really interested in seeing how this thing would play out, even if I don't make the cut to join. I'm gonna hafta work on my strategy on my off-time.

[Ruhiel]

Alright, just wanting to see how this whole "team up against other players" would work. Suppose that the members of GMC all report their locations and decide to meet up in one location. Once they get there, since they're all on the same alliance, they shouldn't attack each other, correct? And then if another character moves into that space, do they fight ALL the GMC members, or do they just fight the first random one they come across? This is all a hypothetical situation, I just wanted to know so as to not be like "woah!" if I move into a space and somehow trigger all of Pitch Black or Ragnarok whaling on my character.

[Super Buu]

--Alliances. 6 on 1 is obviously better odds then 1 on 1. At least, it is for the 6 =x. But of course, if the 1 is a magnificent rper, he could live.

Going off of that, they'd be fighting ALL the GMC members.
