Just some more stuff on Fights, Chasing, Running, Etc - Karl Jak - 06-13-2017
Combat.
So you want to beat up someone? Did you read the rules? I assume you did, but I’m making a thread here to clarify anyway, because I know people are definitely here.
As you know, everyone must tag their movements.
You know that Gildarts is over in A5, and you’re feeling lucky.
So, you move there after a few posts. Gildarts doesn’t post, because Gildarts is a lazy foo.
Reminder since it might not be blatantly spelled out – Entering the same square as someone does not trigger a fight immediately (like in the original DA). So you also don’t need to PM me saying “I go here to partner this guy” (like in the original DA). Just go there and start writing with them. Just, you know, try and make it clear that you’re with them in-character and not be vague.
Back to violence.
Once you have moved to A5, you need to make another post tracking down GIldarts. It must be 300 words. The island isn't huge, but you may still have to use your brain. You end it with
Quote:Issue Challenge – Gildartsor some similar verbiage. Once I see that post, I will send a PM to Gildarts.
At that, Gildarts can either accept your challenge or try to flee. Gildarts has 12 hours to make this call.
---If you use certain Consumables/Artefacts that force a fight, Gildarts would have no choice and we’d go straight to the combat---
If Gildarts accepts, then a fight starts.
If Gildarts says “No, go F yourself,” Gildarts must try to escape.
Escaping
1. Gildarts uses a Consumable designed solely to escape (Flashbang Grenade or something on the island) – This is done in a PM to me. I will post a small update. Consumables (or Artefacts) are the only sure-fire escape mechanism
<or>
2. Gildarts writes a post fleeing into the jungle or city or whatever. During this post, Gildarts relies on his amazing SPD to escape. If Gildarts is actually slow, he uses a powerup to boost his Stats to escape, or he fires off a Super Attack or Super Utility to escape. Gildarts doesn’t care, he has 2023023020 SP. This post may only be 500 words. Why 500? Because 800-2320230 words of you running or otherwise escaping can’t be terribly exciting for me to read (no offense).
Then…
3. You’re not letting that scrub escape. You have an opportunity to post 500 words pursuing Gildarts. Maybe you likewise dip into your SP. Maybe you have other Consumables you wanna use to boost your SPD too. Either way, give it your all.
Once both players have made these posts, I’ll quickly do an update stating either “Gildarts has escaped!” or I’ll just post up that the fight has begun.
If a prime ‘escapes’ a challenge (throughout whatever means), they go on a ‘cooldown’ and cannot be challenge for 24 OOC hours (to again, prevent people from being total jags).
Again, this is just information from the Rules thread, but I just wanted to make sure it’s clear and create a dedicated thread in case people haven't felt comfortable asking questions elsewhere.
