New Beginnings Tournament.

Aw, shucks. You can always go full on oldschool though: put up an open challenge in the arena chat or interest checks and just fight the first person who agrees. :^)

@rocketrobie2

Shoot me a PM with any ideas you have for your charcter; if you've already got a feel for what playstyle you want, that's even better. Lets make it a statement to all the other fighters: someone's getting punched in the face, no matter what. preferrably Guru.

We shall be known as the RPGuild hivemind and reign supreme over the rest of the rp fighting world. Simple as that.

@DLL you guys better be here for whatever next tournament be hosted on the guild. now aint the time for RP fighting communities to be drifting apart, y'know.

@Guru

Certainly. We all should probably write a brief guide of our own after this tournament, based on our mentoring experience, and create an anthology of them. Gonna be good both for newcomers to learn from many different sources at once and for vets to take a sneak peek at what's going on in another's head, maybe confirm some of their theories.

Sorry, spot's already taken and i don't think i'll be able to provide full mentorship to two people at once - taking state exams in two months and i pretty much have to ace them, so not too much time on my hands.

Still, i'll gladly provide some general advice on how to approach a brawler playstyle; as for a mentor, i would recomend DocDoctor - one of his most used characters is based entierly around hand-to-hand. He's signing up for position of a judge though, so i'm not sure he'll be available, but the guy certainly has a lot of experience if he'll be sharing it with you.

Adressing Worren the fire ninjer, afaik, the character sheet format is weapon/element/side element, meaning that the shuriken summoning and whatnot is a seperate category of special weapon abilities.

@Kratesis

Hit me up if you're thinking of swapping to a more punch-y character. ;^)

@Kratesis

It's not just a preference, but a choice based upon my own proficiency: from what i see, you're going with a swordsman as your character - and i'm afraid, i'm worse with armed combat than i am with HtH, largely due to having more experience in roleplaying the latter. I wouldn't be the worst to ask advice on swordsmaship, but i consider myself a bit clumsier when it comes to properly using any melee weapon that isn't a dagger or pair of brass knuckles.

@Dark Light

I like that approach myself. Give me a short while and i'll shoot you a PM.

well nevermind then. Guru, you sneaky ninja bastard.

New Beginnings Tournament.

What Guru said. I can go on with lengthy ramblings detailing my approach to RP combat - but it's a much more efficient process when there's actual questions to answer or at least some sort of topic that needs to be explained.

Also, is nobody gonna go hand-to-hand? I mean, if you need teaching to be done, i'm already offering my help on understanding a purist brawler approach, reccomendations on character build included.

New Beginnings Tournament.

IMHO, that wouldn't be what the tournament was advertised as. Players didn't sign up for it expecting such a system, so i don't think it'd be a good idea to implement it now - unless we receive unanimous agreement from the participants.

That being said, i'm still a proponent of a more traditional approach. This kind of system isn't currently being used among arena members, so it won't be properly teaching the relevant skills or knowledge in terms of character creation - or at the very least, it might deliver a skewed perception of how it's done.
