ATHLETIC AESTHETICS (Doc Vs. Negatomsk)

@Rilla

Build up, huh? Like it takes a few posts to start working, a few to prepare Gonad's body, takes up to several more before it actually kicks into gear? Sort of like a gradual acclimation process, like how deep sea divers can't immediately bolt for the surface without letting their bodies adapt to the pressure.

Is that sort of what you meant?

@Doc Doctor

Yes. Or some type of ritual or something he needs, or at the very least see them at their full strength before bolting up to it just because.

Beardforce would likely be fine if there was some build up to it. The main issue is that he auto scales his powers to match someone elses, which in turn disregards any story their own character had. It could probably be passable if it had some type of requirement or drawback.

You don't have to need him aside from tournamentss and stuff.

New Beginnings Tournament.

Pbby is posted in the IC of this thread. So I'll announce whose accepted tonight so far. Mentors can feel free to post. If you wAnt to make any changes let me know.

New Beginnings Tournament.

Usually,The Liaison didn't bring himself to host events on this small of a scale; he was sure there were others of lesser talents that could handle the event without him having to metaphorically sully his hands. He preferred to host something on the scale of The Way of the Warrior, a massive tournament that brought in spectators from all over the Angar-Ryllan dimension.

But, the backers for this tournament had requested him and his infamous Lobby specifically. They had their eyes on several newcomers in the battling field, And would take no one else. They offered him two things, a truly insane amount of money, and information regarding a priceless artifact from his home world. Of course he would accept.

Now, the white clad man and his cane were standing in the middle of a a spacious and technogically futuristic room going over the dossier of various fighters. Some names he knew, he was informed they would be the mentors to these upcomers. To his left was a dossier on the new fighters. His benefactors were specific, they would need to see them test their mettle in various situations. Unlike WOTW, he decided to run this in a round robin type tournament setting. They would all face each other eventually.

Tabitha, he chimed, getting the attention of a Bahtak looking woman, They are due to arrive at any moment. Prepare everything.

The woman nodded and glanced back over the dossiers. His lobby, situated outside a place of time and space; it's own pocket dimenion which he had brokered control, boasted a cafeteria, sleeping areas, a place to watch ongoing matches, and finally a restoration center for those who finish their bouts. Usually this place was infamous for ruthless sabotage - but that was outlawed for this tournament.

With a snap of his fingers,a majestic looking cane appeared next to his right hand. With two taps, The Liaison vanished to the viewing room where several top rulers had already begun to appear. Some things never changed. His events were spectacles. Everyone wanted to watch.

March of the Newcomers

Actually. Ignore this. I forgot I could just use the other thread.

This is the Lobby. I'll update with rules and shit later.

ATHLETIC AESTHETICS (Doc Vs. Negatomsk)

I'll try to do this now.

It'll be a draw. This turned into a shitfest I haven't seen since the time I fought a guy named Prodigy.

Both of you likely know better. Beardforce, in my estimation, is metagaming and why anyone would face it willingly. The fact he can, by both the sheet and your own testimony raise his strength to impossible levels, with no drawbacks end with only:

Knowledge of the sheet
Seeing the person.

The very definition of metagaming. You don't know anything about the character beforehand, or their capabilities, and Beardforce allows you to simply match it no matter what stages they have to go through to achieve their power and seems solely based on how strong you think they can be.

As far as Nega, I can see your point but your hands aren't clean either. Yours is more of a outside variety. There was no need for this argument to contibue, I know some was part the peanut gallery fault, but calling them sheep didn't help. Any arguments that extend last the events of the thread in question, then things get real dirty.

I suggest you two stay far away from each other. I do commend Doc for trying to explain the weaknesses in Gonad, and eventually apologizing as well. I think you both can be really good Arena fighters, though I probably won't ever face Gnad for a variety of reasons.

I won't go much further than that, because this really isn't my fight. If either of you, @Doc Doctor, @Negatomsk have any issues with any of this, my inbox is always open. In both my official capacity as Moderator and my unofficial capacity as Arena King.

Sometime tomorrow this will be locked, so if either of you have anything civil to say to each other, you can.

ATHLETIC AESTHETICS (Doc Vs. Negatomsk)

@Negatomsk
Hey, don't bring me into this. My world of war event was a good example of the separation of power levels and tier. A baseline of 100 tons of lifting weight was unacceptable as a high tier, not because of her ability to scale up.

@LeeRoy

No sir. No sir. Out.

New Beginnings Tournament.

Sure. We have a little bit of time before the actual fighting begins.

I've decided jtll be a round robin deal. With each win/loss/draw being worth 2-0-1 points. Two highest will face off in the championship round to dettermine a winner so the actual rounds are more preliminaries.

Of

The one with the most points can fight their mentor while the bottom however many face off for 2nd place and on.
