[DragonHeart]

Although I no longer have any real interest or motivation for participating in RPBs, I am still willing to help out. If you need someone for events or as a judge, feel free to ask. Who knows, maybe I'll feel the urge to do a battle on occasion, I just don't feel like doing so right now. Too much investment in other areas at the moment, as it were.

~DragonHeart~

[Mistress Sheena]

Well, if that's the case, we can always use more judges and event staff. XD
That way more things can be made and stuff can be judged faster, or something of that sort. I appreciate you wanting to help out still, and that is majorly cool. I'll go ahead and put you on the list.

I was also thinking of starting up a small RPB tournament. We have 7 members. Although if we take one out, we have an even 6. Unless we give one of them a bye, that is. If we do that, then that would be super special awesome. Let me know if you all would be into a small tournament. Just so you can get the rust off your sleeves. Although I'd like to participate too... so that'd make 8.

I never did get to finish my previous match.

[Psiko]

DragonHeart...you won't even RPB with me? :'(

I'd like to challenge you...

Please reconsider. I need my ass to be handed to me by a pro! By a future best-selling author!

And anyone else who wants a good RPB, let me know. I'm also good for some RPing!

I need to write more often!!!

[Hyzenthlay]

As always I'll take part in the tournament. I do, however, want to be against you Toph. My fights rarely, if ever, get finished and I want somebody else that I know will post. So if you will I'll take you, even if I'm not up to your standard.

Anyway, I'll send you details of teh Celestial Tournament soon Toph, okay?

Thanks, Aimee

[Prodigal Madness]

Depends on the tourny. The whole Celestial thing was a turn off for my tastes, as I remember that being worked on. So, I'll gladly not participate. So if you get the rest, you've got your 6.

[Mistress Sheena]

Uhm.. this isn't going to be the celestial thing. Just a normal tourney. o_O
Whatever gave you the idea that it was going to be the Celestial tournament? XD

And the way tournaments work, is not predetermined matches.. but meh, whatever.

[Xeim]

I'm in for a tourney!

Though, I will most likely be eliminated quite quickly due to inexperience in RPBs. xD I'll try though. Heh. If you need any help on designing arenas or anything though, I'll do what I can. ^^

[Aerif]

Ah but you have to remember, tournament judging is mostly focussed on writing style, past experiance helps, but if you face some one who has had a lot of experiance but has a crappy style then the style takes priority.

I myself won't be taking part in any RPB tournaments as far as I can see. Which is good for two reasons:

1. A participant really can't be a fair judge
2. I can't RPB very well at all.

And while I'm typing I might as well mention that RP material must be developed as well, from my experiance I'd say that the Winter is the best time for ANY RP so if an RP is developed it probably won't be started until sometime in December. Or the Christmas holidays. Though it would help if everyone started throwing ideas out, Writer's Academy is about roleplay battle and roleplaying so let's try and balance it out

[Hyzenthlay]

I want to be against you as training Toph. Not in the tourney. Just for giggles.

Im up for an RP too. I get really bored when I come on hereunless there is lots to do, so...

Aimee.

[Red]

thanks for the pm Xiem.

I guess I could try this out again, I actually liked the club last time, it's just things got out of control and I kinda took it bad. sorry. if it's not a problem may I become a member?

[Mistress Sheena]

You don't have to ask, Red. Previous members are already in. With that, I'll go ahead and put you on the list.

[Red]

I have a small request, (I'm hoping this club is open to suggestions) now I know that the rules state that "no internal standing system is allowed etc." (for obvious reasons) but I would like to be battling to gain SOMETHING. even if no one was ranked but everyone could gain points from their battles or even items to use on characters, I just like to know that I'm fighting for something, like exp for a character etc.

[Mistress Sheena]

Well, think of it this way. You all are technically fighting for experience. Writing experience, and I suppose character experience as well. Seeing as when you use your character, you gain more experience with them and gain a better feeling for them all around.

That's pretty much what you're fighting/RP'ing for. But as far as items and stuff go, we'll have to talk about that, and see if we can come up with something if members would want that sort of thing.

[Red]

the items is something I was thinking could be somehow involved with the RP'ing portion, as in an RP you usually have character development etc. why not have a character who gains items and experience.

as for the ranking system, all I want is at the end of the matched to be judged and have points like last club, I liked knowing how good of a fight it is and how good of an RPBer I am, if anyone else agrees with some kind of point system I hope you take it into consideration but if it's only me who cares then I guess I'll just forget about it xP.

[Prodigal Madness]

Well, in that case, count me in.

Why can't you get items and experience from your fight? YOU control your ABB. Come up with something on your own and add it in. As far as the points... What does the number matter? The judges will still be giving feedback, which is what you're looking for, right? It seems you want to know how superior you are to your opponent, or how close you came to beating the other person. It seems they're trying to eliminate the bad feelings over numbers and whatnot.
