Astral Fight - Kuzuru - 01-17-2018
Yo, I'm bored and need to get some OM. Rather than run a solo storyline or get wrapped up in something that might last longer than I'd like I figure I'd pick a fight.
I was thinking about the fight taking place in the astral verse. That way we don't need to have an excuse to bump into eachother as it could just be a really intense dream.
Rules I propose
Wordcount - 1000
Posts - 3 each
Time limit - 3 days
Battlefield would take place in a dreamscape and be super malleable so we can change it as we see fit.
Any takers?

Hey you nerds got room for one more?
RE: Astral Fight - Okor - 01-17-2018
I'm physically in the astral verse right now, I'll take y'all on.
RE: Astral Fight - Kuzuru - 01-17-2018
Ooh 3-way jamborree, yhus.
RE: Astral Fight - Kuzuru - 01-17-2018
We need a judge too.
RE: Astral Fight - Handsome Jack - 01-17-2018
I'm relatively certain that you'll need, at least, the lesser Astral Item for this. Dreams and flashbacks are cool without. Doing actual things (like Fighting) will require the Item.
RE: Astral Fight - ElFailzalot - 01-17-2018
Okor got spiritual enlightenment, me and renji got attunement. We good on that front, jeffo.
RE: Astral Fight - Handsome Jack - 01-17-2018
Just checking, since he mentioned "just a vivid dream".
RE: Astral Fight - Weiss Schnee - 01-18-2018
I'm going to throw my hat in the ring here with Weiss, assuming that's alright. just need to take a second and go purchase that attunement.
RE: Astral Fight - Kuzuru - 01-18-2018
Sure I'd be game for a 4 way fight. Anyone have a suggestion/preference for a judge?
RE: Astral Fight - ElFailzalot - 01-18-2018
More craziness for the fightin'. Beautiful. I got no real suggestion or preference for a judge, unfortunately.
RE: Astral Fight - Blink - 01-22-2018
Did you guys get things settled?
RE: Astral Fight - Kuzuru - 01-22-2018
No, we're still looking for a judge.
RE: Astral Fight - Omni - 01-22-2018
I can judge for you. Should be interesting.
72 hours is the default for 3 people, 84 is the default for 4 - just FYI. I think that would give you guys a little more time to post during a round.
Just to remind all on the group fight rules:
Quote:In group fights, an entire round lasts 72 hours by default, and players must 'call' the right to post next by posting in the corresponding OOC topic. If a player is next in line but has not posted within 2 hours, the right passes to the next player to 'call' their post. If you are taking longer than expected to post, you should let the other players know, or pass on your right to post. Once every player has posted or 72 hours (or the decided time limit) passes, the round will end and the next round will begin. The time limit for group fights should be based on the number of participants, and usually a judge will work out a time limit that works for everyone. By default, or if an agreement cannot be made, we add 12 hours to the default time limit for each participant past 3.I'd extend that 2 hour timer to 3, as well, since this is a 1000-word limit.
tl;dr:
-Round begins. 84 hour clock begins ticking down.
-Call when you're posting. When you're done, or when 3 hours have passed, the window is open for anyone to call for posting.
-When 84 hours end, or when all 4 players have posted, the round ends and the next round begins from this point.
Note: I may not be around at the exact time to call end of round/start of next round, so just continue on regardless. I will try to pop in to give updates on time remaining and when each round started/ended, just to keep things clear and ensure everybody is on the same page.
If extensions are requested, I will give extensions of up to 48 hours for each round, but I won't extend these longer than that, in the interest of not making other players wait too long - week-long rounds can get tiresome. The exception is extenuating circumstances.
Is this a 'real' fight or a 'mock' fight as far as outcomes go? Even in the Astral Realm, man can be kill.
RE: Astral Fight - Okor - 01-22-2018
Sounds good to me. I just gotta wrap up my current Astral Verse thread.
What kind of benefits does Enlightenment have over Attunement?
RE: Astral Fight - Handsome Jack - 01-22-2018
Actually, I dunno...
RE: Astral Fight - Amaterasu - 01-22-2018
Quote:Spiritual Attunement (Unlock) – 500 OM
With enough training, you may consciously enter the Astral Realm. Doing so requires you to enter a meditative state. Your body remains where you left it. Unlike while dreaming, entering the Astral Realm consciously poses dangers and all damage suffered to your spiritual body happens to your real body.
Spiritual Enlightenment (Unlockable) – 2000 OM (1500 OM if replacing Spiritual Attunement)
With a great deal of training, you may learn to physically enter the Spirit Realm. Entering or exiting the Astral Realm physically requires a good five minutes of uninterrupted focus. However, it is a great advantage to be able to do so. When ready, you may exit the Astral Realm to anywhere within a short distance of where you entered.
I think the text may have been changed, but I believe that Attunment means you can only stay for so long because your physical body isn't getting fed/hydrated (so it's sorta like plugging yourself into the Matrix) whereas Enlightenment is a straight upgrade in that it lets you physically enter the Astral Realm, thus eating/drinking/sleeping there works too and you're not leaving a vulnerable body behind.
That's just me though, you'll need to ask in the Help Desk for a "real" answer :frog:
RE: Astral Fight - Takanomiya Hijiri - 01-22-2018
In addition to what Ams said, Enlightenment lets you use the AV as a hideout if you can get five minutes away from whoever you're hiding from (e.g. if you have a bounty)... with Attunement, an attacker would just find your body sitting meditating somewhere and kill you before you even saw them coming.
RE: Astral Fight - Kuzuru - 01-22-2018
I'm fine with the chnages Omni suggested. We should probably use the damage meter as well so we can have an idea of where everyone is standing.
I'm ready to go as soon as everyone else is. I'm going to make a post that has Kuzuru enter the AV
