Hum... Not going to get this done tonight. Sorry.

Ok, maybe we can have another fight go before yours or something, but yeah, whos next?

Technically your fight would have been skipped yesterday. :P

Well, someone's feeling like a complete and utter ass who likes to rub salt into other people's wounds, I see. and as long as that kind of thing is going on, I'm out.

the problem is, is how is it difficult to type up a 4 line post. Or say making a post in notepad then pasting it into the topic. Rin did have more than a week to prepare a fighting post and hasn't done so, and was even given an additional day and didn't post. so his comment is justified.

After all, its not fair to everyone involved that we have to wait so long before the story can continue. if I was GM I'd enforce a 24 or 36 hour rule myself, but eh.

Site was down for a few days and I've been both really busy and pretty sick lately, so there's that.

I am new to the Guild but I have been hearing a few people complain about over-sensitivity among the community.

@j8cob, will Maggatorr be added to the roster in the OP?

Well I understand that all the players have their own lives and that roleplaying probably isn't the most important thing to them. As evidenced by my mini-vacation I took. The two day time limit allows some flexibility but I understand that it may not be long enough for some people. Rin was incapable of posting in time due to life and that is fine. In the interest of the others it means that her fight has to be skipped. This doesn't mean Rin will be booted from the roleplay nor does it mean she will be really punished. Shit happens to all of us.

As a result, however, Chikori will be forced into a spectator role for the rest of the tournament. I will calculate later how many points she would get to her power level, though considering her fight is a loss it will likely be nothing too special. This means that in order to keep things flowing that I will be posting next. Expect the fight to be posted tonight after I run some errands.

On the topic of behavior I do have to say it was a bit unnecessary to comment on Rin's fight being skipped after the fact she already acknowledged and even apologized for her delays. I'm not exactly a nice person myself so I don't have much room to comment on that but I don't condone salty behavior. I do ask that Dblade stay as I'm sure the comment wasn't meant to be offensive and as such won't be a commonplace thing now that Gecko knows it came across rude.

EDIT:

@The Patriarch: He will be added to the roster. Honestly I'm a bit lazy with the roster because I know I only have to add a character to it once, but he will be added tonight. Probably. As for your earlier question Magatorr can be spectating the fights as one of the members of the audience. So for now his posts won't be particularly full of action but fear not on that subject. I have a plan.

notepad is still a thing, but whatever. Just a tip so your next post isn't skipped there mate.

who did Dblade play as? Oh, nvm. hm.... well, he hasn't gone yet so what'll happen then?

Hi, I'm still here!!!
The roads became iced over and a semi took out around 30 power poles out on Friday, taking out the power over around 160 miles for four days! But I'm back and catching up!

Bloody hell how did it take out 30 power poles?

Eh, I guess I'll stick around since the GM asked. Need something to do during the slow boring bits of life anyways.

I wasn't even implying we should skip her. The first person took 3 days as well. I wasn't actually expecting that we'd skip Rin. I've been looking forward to the possibility of fighting Chikori. Just because I'm joking around about the time limits (see tongue smiley), doesn't mean I actually expect anything to be done about it. I have as much power over the speed of this roleplay as I do the flight patterns of ducks in Botswana, save my own posts.

Though, I would echo the early comment about notepad. Notepad also doesn't delete your posts as easy, which in my opinion, which is an absolute pain.

Unfortunately I made time limits so I have to enforce them so as not to be a weak GM. After this tournament I don't believe I'll be doing that as the time limit only exists because the tournament fights happen in a specific order whereas future fights aren't very likely to be put on a schedule like that.

I did a pathetic little glance for the Chikori vs Coco fight. Sorry about that but I don't own Chikori as a character so I didn't want to put details into it that would clash with what Rin would have her do. Though I did the cool-guy thing and kept her relatively unhurt with only a defeat by ringout rather than being beaten down. As well I have decided that Chikori will get a 20 point boost for the fight as it still exists but was kinda skipped and the scenario in my head played out where Chikroi didn't exert herself to the extreme or anything because she got a ringout fairly quickly. If that makes sense. My apologies but rules are rules so that was how that went down.

On the other hand we have my two characters that just did battle. Jack will be receiving a 60 point boost and Fenro will receive 20. If anyone has any issues with those two numbers just speak up. It gets a bit weird as GM when I'm judging my own actions because there will be an obvious bias that I'll have to fight. I think my own personal power level as j8cob should go up for those scenarios. Hmm...

Also gonna update the roster and the OP. But now the next fight is Guls versus Slapstick. The time limit is still in effect.

I'm down with those totals. The general idea is that the weak characters should earn more, even for a loss, than a super strong character for winning, so that the weak characters don't keep on losing forever. As long as they put in a good effort, which you did.

Now for exerting yourself, would you say being at max power is necessary, or having a tough fight because your toying around/challenging yoruself with your oponent is betteR?

Near as we can tell, high speeds and icy roads in 26 degree Fahrenheit weather, so there was a bit of a domino effect, since the cold temperatures made things particularly brittle :/ No word yet on whether the driver is okay, going to have to google any relevant news. Right now I'm just enjoying reading under a light that isn't kerosene fueled!

I'm just surprised your city planner sucked sooo hard at their job that they didn't put the posts more than a posts length form each other so you don't have domino effects like that. Google says the average is supposed to be 125 feet between poles so... yeah.

Good to have ya back though.

finally got my post up
