Well hello there everyone! Guess what? Uncy Bear is back, and he's bringing back an old RPG with him! For those who remember, World Collision ran the very successful Anime War for a long time. I took over after number ten, as he left the board. I hope this will be a hell of a round! This is just the sign-up topic, but I'll put all the rules here to refresh and/or fill peoples' memory.
PLOT:
~~~~
Welcome, all! Just as the name sounds, the Anime War is a war of anime characters. However, it is unlike a tournament in that you will not be assigned opponents. It's a big free for all, and the last person standing wins! When you register, you choose one (and ONLY one) character from an Anime or Video Game to do battle with. You assume the role of that character, and use his/her features and your own creativity to eliminate the other players. Players will be divided into teams, depending on the number of people that register. There is -NO- limit to the number of people that sign up, so please, come one, come all!
RULES:
~~~~~
1) You will execute your attacks in the form of "battle posts". You will NOT be eliminating people in one post, so don't try. I am the judge, so I determine how much damage your attacks do. I will mostly be awarding 1 damage point to attacks, occasionally 2. I will not be allowing more than 3 damage to be done in one turn, so don't try. Try to keep posts short and concise (I will provide an example later).
2) To keep things interesting, and add a more realistic spin to it, your characters will be experiencing fatigue as normal people do. That means you can't be unleashing massive final attacks over and over through the entire RPG. I am not preventing you from using strong attacks, but they will come with a cost.
3) Your character will have a health bar, looking like this: HEALTH: IIIIIIIIIIIIIII
4) Your character will have potions, used to refill your health or cure your fatigue. Potions will fill/deplete the meters completely, but you can only use them on one bar, not both. So, for example, you can either use a potion to refill your health completely, OR return your fatigue to zero, but not both., so you must specify in your post. Your potion bar looks like this: POTION: IIIII
5) Your character will have a fatigue bar, that looks like this: FATIGUE: IIIIIIIIIIIIIII
NOTE: Unlike the other two bars, which start full, the fatigue bar will start empty, and gradually fill up. So your bar will not start looking like the one above, I was just showing the colors. Fatigue can be cured by potion, OR by "resting". By "resting", I mean not executing any attacks for a length of time. For every day your character does not make a post (offensive or defensive), 2 fatigue bars will be cured (I will alter this variable depending on how it plays out in the RPG). Of course, while "resting", one cannot defend against attacks.
6) You may defend against an attack with a "defense" post. Defending negates any damage done, but it does cause some fatigue. Defense posts, to be counted, must be within 24 hours of the attacking post against you. Choosing not to defend against an attack will cause you to take the damage, but not be fatigued.
7) No ganging up will be allowed. A character may not attack the same person more than once in a 24 hour period, nor can a person be attacked more than 3 times in 24 hours. Strategy is encouraged, but please, try to keep it fair and fun for everyone.
8.) You may not execute more than 2 attacks total in a 24 hour period. That means you may attack two different people per day, and no more. Also, as stated in rule 7, you cannot attack the same person twice within 24 hours.
9) No Evading/Hiding from attacks. You may include it as part of a defense post, but you will incur the same Fatigue cost as any other defense.
10) I will be giving small bonuses occasionally to people who make particularly clever and creative posts. These bonuses will come in the form of a couple of Health bars here and there, or some fatigue cures, or maybe (if you're lucky) a potion. These will be rare though, so don't expect them all the time.
11) HAVE FUN! I will be releasing a spinoff Battle Tournament RPG soon, so keep a lookout!
Alright, as I promised, I'll make a model post so you know what to do:
Your character's name:
vs OR defending against
Your opponent's name:
Details of attack (or defense):
That's the format. Here's an example:
============
Barret Wallace
vs
Cloud Strife
I walked up to Cloud, feigning a handshake. When he reached, I grabbed his arm and threw him over my shoulder and into the air. While he was airborne, I wheeled around, switching to my Missing Score accessory. I aimed and fired the 6 missile pack, watching it explode in a flurry on him. He fell to the ground, smoking. I giggled like a school girl and scampered off.
