I noticed about a week ago when a thread was updated with this name, and thought a new PbP was starting up, with a name I recognised from somewhere but just couldn't place...
So with my inquisitive nature, and curiosity already piqued, I began reading... And it turned out... I HAD been familiar with Battle Vixens before... Just forgot about it's alternate Title of Ikki Tousen, What I missed was that it was based on Rot3K, Possibly due to my having watched it so long ago and so few episodes...
And I like what I read, what I saw, and what I could be seeing in the future...
The Idea of a Magatama holding the spirit of the dead warriors of the three Kingdoms era was... Interesting... Bound to there fate, to relive the same battles, to die the same ways...
A very interesting Mechanic for a PbP, I like the Idea for it very much... Shame to see the "Destiny Link" part scrapped just cause some people were a bit lazy...
Now one more thing I noticed... Was that most of the forced removal of clothing is done through Ki arts, Either directly after or during a physical attack. Creating four different forms of attack: Direct Physical, Direct Ki, Inverted, and Delayed.
It would seem you had a problem people launching Energy waves and beams, such as with Dragonball's Kamehameha, I do not fault you for that, as it IS ridiculous for regular people to do such things, where as the closest I could see a Toushi realisticly "Throwing" there Ki would be to channel it through the ground... Which would take great training as to not misplace it with the natural flow of the Earth... Or Delayed attacks, which is kinda farfetched, but used in the latter parts of the series, when a small mine of Ki is left after an attack... Waiting for the foe to just move into it... (Mostly used after a Direct Physical as an "Anti Counter Mechanisim") And would like a clarification as to what IS and ISN'T considered Legal in this...
Now as for the Combat... If you still need a judge... I'll let you know... I have run a sucessful PVP freeform forum with Much less restriction than this...
THIS would be a piece of cake to judge for me... No teleporting... No dopplegangers... Just nice crisp punch, kick, block... Basics... Gotta love the Basics...
(Think of a fusion of all the Shonen Jump characters duking it out... God mode style... THATS what I'm used to judging for... This would be a refreshing change of pace, along with some ERO thrown in!)
A few things that I've learned over the years,
People WILL try to do "ADP" Or Arbitrary Damage Posts, perhaps it works better on my own forum... Where people are more likely to rip limbs off and beat you over the head with it...
Enclosed ADP Data...
Spoiler
Say one weapon user stabs one other without allowing the other to even make a defensive post...
Such would count as a an ADP
I ended up making an Counter-ADP for these occasions, It takes some thinking, but the Judge or Fighter, if he's aware that it wasn't a justified ADP, Can post to minimize the damage and make a single unblockable attack.
As for a Justified ADP it would require a "Charge Up" Post... Basicly a loud speaker telephone punch that saying "If you don't evade this next one correctly... Your gonna be in some pain!"
The obviousness of the Charge Post makes it so people don't use it often, And the penalty of an Uncharged ADP is grave... Making it a danger to use them without the Charge...
Halting an ADP would be either: If it's focus knock them out of that focus... If it's physical... It need to be evaded... If it's submission... It needs to be escaped...
Generally... The time when these will be used most will be multi battles... 1v2 2v2 Both instances it will then be objective to disrupt the Charge Post or prepare a defense
Multi-ADP would need multi post charge times, equall to the number of opponents being simultaniously defeated...
Cant say I can see very many of these going on here... But It's nice to have the Info on hand just in case, Ya'know? You CAN disregard it though... Just trying to help with something I got A LOT of past experience with...
But with an ADP even an F rank can inflict significant damage upon an A Rank Prime
But currently, I'm not sure whether or not I'll just sit idly by and Judge fights, (granted your still in need of an experienced Judge) or actually participate... With a Ling Cao base character...
(Kinda funny... How nobody took a Dragon of Haou type Character... Even when they complained they couldn't find a historical figure to base themselves on... The Dragons seemed to be thrown in FOR those indecisive people... Yet nobody took the hint...)
