Gives a lot of RP opportunities.
Not so sure regarding the super moves - adds a little too much power to lower-tier characters, and also gives us more stuff to track, when this already is goign to involve a lot of stuff to track.


Anyways, regarding the fights themselves and how to decide them:

I'm of the opinion a full brawl would be a bad idea. you have 9 people, trying to fight 3, and given no one'd necessarily be calling who to fight, it  might go badly.

So, on that note, I can think of 2 options:
#1: We do this OOCly. People decide on fights they wanna do, and just make the battlefield shift so these battles happen. This is the area I'm leaning to, mostly so we don't have something ridiculous like a 5-on-1 happen or the like, but it's up to everyone on this front. I'd prefer to do this event in a way where everyone can get things they want from this, though.


@2: If we want to treat this as a more serious battle and get all tactical, we could have it so people might have a few "areas" to call going to on the battlefield. Defenders and Assaulters would both privately call, and someone both sides trusted that's a neutral party would decide where you actually end up. Defenders and Assaulters in the same area end up fighting. The number of area would have to be small - enough to guarantee there'd be a fight - and if the Defenders let the assaulters sit on a "wall" area, darkshire'd get more busted up if they're uncontested.
I'd prefer not to do this, but if people want this to be some fancy-shmancy tactical affair I'd get it, and won't complain.


If we do this, we may want to implement the HP system - gives defenders and assaulters chances to retreat.
Since there's battlefield Chaos, if we really wanted, we could do shorter fights, in order to allow for people to slip back into the chaos of the battlefield. Might make this longer, but allows one side to get less than completely wiped out, and allows for everyone to get a chance to influence the battlefield at some point or another.

I feel like that more or less makes the HP system mostly irrelevant doesn't it? Maybe if we removed the auto-death option, otherwise I don't see it really affecting very much.

However due to the chaotic nature of the battle the loser might just be able to limp away or the winner is otherwise unable to finish the kill due to more pressing matters. There have been several fights before that due to judge decision the winners weren't allowed to execute due to random elements (the police showing up, cave-ins separating the fighters, etc.)

Maybe allow the judges to decide whether or not a winner had "won" enough to execute the loser or if the loser was able to escape in the chaos of the battle?

Basically since most fights are a one and done thing the actual damage system rarely makes an impact beyond post-fight rp. But if you're capable of being in multiple fights in one storyline there is a chance for the damage to accumulate.

As far as pairing up, Gamzee and I would like to stick together as much as possible, but I wouldn't mind hanging out with Shang or Okor should the opportunity present itself. As far as opponents I'd like to fight Kerrigan or Illidan, but I'm not super picky to be honest.
