I am looking for a friendly competitor to take on a speed battle, something of a demonstration match.
A lost art form on Althanas, the speed battle operates on three simple principles.
1) It occurs in more than ten and less than twenty posts.
2) Each post is separated from the last post by no fewer than 10 minutes.
3) You don't take yourself seriously.
I have blocked out a period of time Sunday afternoon -- from 2ish to 6ish -- in which I can commit to the speed battle. If the rules are followed, it should be over in anywhere from an hour and forty minutes to three hours and twenty minutes. And my experience with these battles tends to be that they go much faster than strictly ten minutes between posts -- part of a speed battle is trying to work out a post fast enough that your opponent doesn't have time to rest between posts, while still balancing the notion with your desire to put in a decent showing and show up your opponent.
Again, I want to run the battle from 2ish to 6ish (I'm in the Central time zone, in America). If you would like to commit to the endeavor, please holler here. I'll roughly take first comers, unless for storyline reasons someone I need to battle appears; I will also take this list for future interested speed battlers, and as time permits I will holler if I don't battle this time.
