They seemed to imply that they had won the last toyale and that this was not their first rodeo.

Nudara's intro states that he won a tournament called King of Earth and that he now wants to be the King of Toys.

Which is a title he came up with.

King of Earth and the Battle Toyale are two completely separate events that (sometimes) share a universe.

I have participated in previous Toyale's and won one (debatably) but those were with different characters.

Shinny's intro states that we can decide how we show up and so I decided that the God of Toys came to him in a dream because I think it suits Nudara's character more/is funnier in general if he has a goal to work towards. He isn't put off by the situation because he's so arrogant all he sees is an opportunity to stroke his own ego.

All the other stuff are just funny jabs at friends and old story lines. There's a lot of little context bits there for past continuity but none of it should have an effect on the event except for maybe one that I've already told Shinny I'm going to try and should be pretty obvious, if it isn't already then surely by the next post, but won't really be relevant if you try to fight him. ;)

Do they have a character sheet somewhere?

I was told a character sheet is unnecessary to join so I won't be posting one, nor am I the only one without one.

The majority of his offense revolves around creating and using fire though, he does have one or two other tricks up his sleeve, but you'll have to find out what those are when it becomes relevant.

@Divorarel Thank you for the refresher on the rules and the lore clarifications, but I was really just trying to understand where the art came from. I figured if you had it on hand, you'd sneak it into your intro post. Thus, I made a dangerous assumption that the character had a sheet somewhere. But you know what happens when you assume.

Also, I think you're up to post next.

@Shinny Ah That explains why I can't find the toyale on this forum. I would have been interested in seeing how a typical one played out, but I don't think the mods appreciate links to other writing forums too much.

It's just a faceclaim that I used for the character, I didn't feel like making a graphic or anything like that out of it, if you must know it's Maika Halfwolf from Monstress.

I tried to find logs of the previous Battle Toyale's but they don't exist anymore.

They took place on a chatroom and I didn't save them because they didn't include a lot of traditional fighting.

The first Toyale had around 15 people in it and the majority of them (over half) were a part of the same clan. It was a group of super heroes and they wanted to do a pacifist run where everyone worked together and escaped the toy store.

The only two evil characters were me playing Katrina Masters (black-coded oni yakuza boss) and another guy called Hybris Penumbra (punk rock hillbilly cult leader) and they hated each other. We probably fought four or five times overall and this was our second meeting. So we spent the entire Toyale trying to kill each other in very slapstick Tom & Jerry ways that spilled over to antagonize the other characters and draw aggro.

Essentially to make them fight.

They didn't like that we weren't playing along with their plan and it started some OOC drama. Eventually I killed Hybris in a way that started an electrical fire and once the building started burning down the bulk of them chose not to respond and so that's why I say I was the winner, because I destroyed the building and won the only 1 on 1, and the majority of people who could stop me chose not to.

The second one was a year later and there were maybe 8-9 people? The guy who won it was named Trevor. He played the leader of a militia group in Neo Babylon so coming in he was a GI Joe and he commanded a bunch of army men NPCs. They spent most of their time grabbing equipment and rigging traps and things like that, I didn't participate so I didn't follow it closesly, but most of the action was more PvE and eventually Trevor blew up a large enough chunk of the store that everyone who wasn't dead just decided not to fight back.

So, typically a Battle Toyale is more comedy and chaos than traditional combat, and so far the winner has been the person who decides to destroy the store in a way that makes the other players surrender but those were all on chatrooms. A forum is an entirely different beast.

How it ended up here makes no sense, as I literally typed it up in the window on the other screen. But whatever, fixed it.

If only that was posted in the next topic over...

And I still gotta wait on the Pickler.

The forbidden OOC posting technique!?!

@Shinny Any word from our eight-legged pickle?

@Shinny Any word from our eight-legged pickle?

So after some discussion, we have agreed that spickle will no longer be in play. This leaves it as @Alucroas turn.

Thank fucking god.

Let's get this show on the road.

Ah, mb. I wish I joined this site earlier. I quite like the concept of this RP. Will it ever accept new applicants in the future?

@Shinny Is this dead or are you very, very busy?

Apologies for the delay. I got a new job, which has become even more busy than the last one. It's for that reason I will be pulling out from this in a GM capacity. Rather than lock the thread, I am happy for everybody who wants to keep fighting to resume the order (Just without me).

Sorry!

Well, no clue who else is around, but I'll fight whoever.

I feel like it's less getting people who want to fight that's the problem and more getting an overseer to manage the traps, artifacts, judge things, etc.

Pretty sure Shinny's intent was just for this to turn into a regular 5-way fight from here on out.

Though Lysander and Alucroas may be moving slow for a while, we're hosting a tournament elsewhere.

That is not the vibe I got at all, actually. Pretty sure the whole point of the artifacts was to get people running all over the place, have crazy hazards pop up here and there, have players and NPCS alike ambush each other, just like a real battle royale. Just like a real PVPVE RP.

Given that we're all in fights and nobody bothered to check in for five months, maybe dragging it out isn't such a good idea. Not all of the participants even have character sheets, and while that was fine when Shinny was here to act as grand magistrate of the arena, I could see it being a problem without anyone to act as a judge.

Alright, if you want to drop out that's fine, Alucroas can write you out when he responds.
