Okay, so it finally occured to me, I've thought the idea of the battle system was always a little violent for my tastes.

So! I've come up with a new idea to use the battle arenas!

And I'm looking for a fun loving character (or three) who'd be up for a game. I plan on requesting it to be judged like a battle thread because it's going to require skill.

Okay, anyone ever played 'tag' rugby? Basically, you stuff a rag half into the back of your pants and leave half out, the aim of the game is to get the rag from the player that has it.

I'm taking a new twist on this:

Players have a magically embued gold piece of cloth that they attach just above the tail bone, it cannot be damaged and character traits do not effect it (For example, Kiallys invisibility - Kially would be invisible, but the gold rag would not.), this rag also denies cheating, only removable by the other player or the heads of the given battle arena. The idea is to take your opponents before they take yours, starting each character on the opposite side of the arena, basically, hide and seek with the twist of taking the given piece of glowing cloth.

Spoils would be things like new 'found' gifts whilst in the heat of competition, and of course, 'battle' exp and 'gold'.

Not to mention, it's no longer a blood sport, allowing for a little bit more gentle play.

Who's up for a little "Rag Tag"!? Considering making it a four person thing too!

Any mods have any issues with this? Been thinking about it for a LONG time.

Oh, Monica would SO be loving this game. I'm in if you don't mind a speedster.

A few thoughts on this cool idea:

Perhaps instead of calling this a new kind of battle it could be a considered a different sort of competitive play entirely?

Graded in the same way battles are a new PC sports category could be made, as I'm sure other people may have neat competitive ideas which do not involve killing the other players.

Also, it might help this if such sporting events are considered to be OOC, this way any character could jump in without needing to worry about continuity issues (such things would bar my character from enjoying this stuff believably :().

I have a few other thoughts, but I will collect them to make more sense and post again later.

Haha. When I find the time to resume writing again, I am so in.

I should have the answer within next Wednesday. In the meanwhile, you can put Haruzame on the bench. :D

wow sounds fun. I'm considering joining but I'm kinda worried that Tsu would have an unfair advantage since many of her abilities have increased mobility.

Eh? Come on in. I'll confirm it with everyone that they can use combat abilities in none violent ways if they are cool with it. (Like, if you got close, Kially could use his Wind Blast to painlessly hinder you with a distraction, giving him time to run.)
