Behold, a separate OOC thread, in order to keep our calling and other relevant discussion from confusing the main Assault thread.
To start - relevant details restated for ease-of-access:
The Arena:
Underneath the Town of Darkshire
Skeletor's doom drill has come near to piercing through Darkshire's best defences, but a team of primes and secondaries have managed to break through into the tunnel underground. Here, Light is quite dim and the earth is quite uneven - Those with legs will find themselves constantly struggling to keep their stance in the harsh angles of the cavern, and the already disturbed earth creates the hazard of cave-ins if the Forces in Conflict are careless with their munitions. Here, the air is hard to breathe, and insects crawl out of their underground homes to mingle with the invaders. most of them are harmless nuisances, but Dracula's evil stretches into even the earth, and thus there also exists the rarities of poisonous or oversized beasts stalking the newly made cave, breaking out of the earth at a moment's notice.
The main concern of the forces gathered underneath Darkshire are each other, however - Demons and wraiths stalk the tunnels, and horrifying zerg besides. Doglike creatures with an unbreakable tenacity, vicious scythe limbs, and impeccable night vision, these tunnel fighters will work with Illidan's nightmares to give a merciless greeting to the determined assaulting forces of Darkshire, creating a conflict smaller, but just as intense and chaotic, as the one continuing above.
The Rules (as decided in the main thread):
Word Limit: 1000
Rounds: 3
Random Elements: on
Damage Meter: on
- Judge's discretion on whether or not the loser(s) is allowed to be executed
- The actual backdrop of the fight is just fodder and not much more than a location for most fights
THE CALL SYSTEM
Each round will last 5 days. During that time people are allowed to "call" a post. Once called that person has 2 hours to submit a post. At the end of the 2 hours, or if the person has posted, someone else is allowed to call. You can call to be next in line, but once the first person has posted or their 2 hours are up your time begins. This continues until everyone has posted or the 5 days are up. Judges will then have 1 day to tally up damages and so they have a chance to get caught up if they fall behind.
Discussion via PM between the participants has led to the decision that I'll start the fight-thread with the setup (writing myself and Ash into the tunnel and proximity to Skeletor) and from there we'll jump right into the fight, with Skeletor posting first (of the fight that is - the second overall post of the thread. I'll throw a quote-box at the end of the setup to make it obvious), at which point we will have officially begun.
