The above is.minus the .
You can click the small chain like symbol in th corner I think

[Dolerman]

right but thats for site's url, how do I get the url for the individual posts so I can make a list for each battle ground?

[Dolerman]

Hmm the small chain link just re orders the page its not actually saving the url of the post :S

[Dolerman]

scratch that, Ive figured it out now, I'll make the list.

[Rilla]

The chain link links to the post associated with it. Just tested it. haha. Good though you figured it out.

[Dolerman]

okay, I'm very slowly making a hyperlink list for all the battlegrounds

my aching typing hand

Well I've started an exceptionally long process of Retconning my entire Mythos.

The characters that I've used in the Arena are being rebalanced and made to be more interesting.

The newer characters are only getting a few tweaks and such, but I just felt like y'all would find it useful information in case y'all started another Arena.

It clears up why my characters will be different in the future.

[Rilla]

At the moment its just a ranking system.

Our next big undertaking will probably be a multiverse. Hopefully substantially different from type last ones. But I'm not ready to open that bag yer until.we get this sorted out.

[LeeRoy]

So about ranking systems, I've created about 5 or 6 of them since I started Arena Roleplaying on this site. The two that were most successful for me were the:

10 Tier System with ranks being loosely placed.
And
15 Tier System with ranks being more tightly placed, but with the chance for characters to rank up.
Though both of them inevitably failed, due to lack of posting on the latter's part, and dying interest on the former's part.

To the point though; If someone could come up with a ranking system that everyone agreed on, that might increase the traffic to the Arena. Maybe open up the curtains that tend to cover up this rather small community of roleplayers.

Some people disagree with tier systems entirely, some people disagree with putting numbers to it, and some people disagree with how their character would be ranked. Lots of arguments come from it.

[Rilla]

Wrong type of rankings. hahaha.

This one is about who is the top combatant and such utilizing points.

thinking the tiers will be broken down to three, for ease. "Normal, Powered, God" or something of the sort.

[LeeRoy]

Pfftch, oh, my B. Carry on then.

[Rilla]

We now await word from Mahz, to see what is possible and indeed impossible for him to code in. Whatever he want we can manually do.

[ImportantNobody]

If I, as the BattleGrounds 'groundsman' were given the authority I could make all sorts of cool death trap style arenas for special themed matches. Suspended platforms over an Acid pit? Frozen indoor arena with rabid polar bears? Fighting on top of a Colossus Eagle?

Dynamo is your man.

@Dynamo Frokane

You're like me in wanting to create crazy arenas. My most tame one thought up so far is on a beach with extreme tides going in and out to sweep you off your feet and possibly trap you somewhere and drown you if you're not careful. Join me, and together we can create the most epic battleground!

[Rilla]

I've made somextra based off dead fantasy.

Like their Tilted Tower, where you fight as you run down a tilted tower, I added the catch that you had to stay on the ground so people wouldn't just fly everywhere. Also I based one off of the fight they had in sat or Nadal tornado.

Another one I've fought in was based on columna that fell if you stepped on them a certain number of times.

My favorite arena was one I created for a four way I hosted. Five black blobs that each combatant could change to suit their need. The fifth was kept the same as a neutral ground. Each round it would randomly change to a different blob. only a few things transferred over from each.

Actually no, a friend of mine made that one. I just used it for the four way I hosted. It was really popular.

[Skallagrim]

My favorite battle ground is the one where I beat Rilla because he didnt understand my viking warrior and the trap he was setting. . .

[Rilla]

you do realize I now and forever will hate you.

[Rilla]

Skally reminds me. A potential tournament could include 'switching' characters.

[Skallagrim]

Wait. . .you didn't before?

[ImportantNobody]

Skally reminds me. A potential tournament could include 'switching' characters.

@Rilla

Like switching their minds into each other's bodies or us using each other's characters?

P.S. Nobody can set a trap for Evvie.

[ShidenBlades]

A bunch of Captain Ginyus!?
