The Battle Arena

(Area Description currently being created...)

Battle Rules:

Prior to the Battle:

Determining Your Opponent and Making the Battle Official:

• Make sure you have chosen who you are going to challenge in the MMG, and then create a new thread in the Battle Arena saying that you challenge your chosen opponent to a fight. When creating the thread, be sure to include:
  • Your character's first name (and last name in the rare case that two active MMG members have the same first name),
  • Your main weapon,
  • A maximum of two* backup weapons,
  • A maximum of two* shields,
  • A maximum of three* accessories,
  • A maximum of three* magic types that you will be using,
  • A maximum of five* non-weaponry items (e.g. potions) or one-time-use weapons (e.g. bombs),
  • The number of posts that the battle will go on (between 20 and 99; Further information listed below), and
  • The time limit (possibly one* month*) for how long the battle will last (if necessary).
• Wait for your opponent to put up a post saying that s/he accepts (or declines) to fight you (it must also include the same information in it as the first combatant has listed).
• Wait for the tournament leader to set up a thread which lists the combatants in each fight.

After Your Opponent Accepts and Responds to the Challenge:

• The Battle Judge will open a new thread listing the combatants of the fight, and the number of posts it will last.
• Either of the fighters will be allowed to make the first action.
• If you have to post something OOC, please make sure it is in the same post as your RP action, or in a separate thread altogether. Otherwise, your OOC post will count towards the total number of posts in the battle.

During the Battle:

• The battle will continue back and forth between the combatants through the set number of posts. The fight will end when:
  • Either of the combatants allows their character to lose, or
  • Based on the good form of either combatant, the Battle Judge will decide which person performed better in the battle (i.e. taking hits and evading equally, avoiding the use of powergaming, etc.).
• The winner will then be awarded a recorded win (listed on this page), and the loser will be awarded a recorded loss.
• Ties may be decided either by the judge, or by a mutual agreement by both combatants before the final post is reached (i.e. one of the combatants has to take a vacation and doesn't want to put the battle on hold during that time, or both combatants are getting tired of fighting).
