Thread: Matrix RP - "This Is A Sparring Program..." *INTRODUCTION AND DISCUSSION*

Blargh, sorry, can we put this on hold? As youve probably noticed i havnt been able to post much, that hurricane really sucked.

No problem, man. Post whenever you get around to it.
Where are you from again? What was the hurricane situation?

"The hurricane situation" was hurricane Ike. It really sucked, we had to bust out all the drywall through the entire house, its entirely hollow now
I usually live in galveston, which got the bulk of the hurricane. But im somewhere in friendswood right now, at a library to be specific.

But im back now, so ill attempt to write the next part of our spar

Ah, I didn't realize you were over in Texas. I'm from Houston and have spent a lot of time in Galveston. Yeah, Ike was pretty rough over on that side. Sucks to hear that you got as much damage as you did.

And, as far as the spar, I see that I have a knife or two going at the back of one of my legs. Are you doing anything to avoid me stomping down on you, though? You don't seem to be moving out of the way, since you're still laying on your back, right?

yeah...

i guess i was going for trying to propel myself backwards with the force of your leg, magically hitting my target before my target hit me.

im screwed arent i?

Actually, I think we are both kinda screwed, heh. I think you would push my body forward slightly, on the leg that you're aiming at (which one is it, eactly?), instead of your own sliding back far enough to avoid me coming down on you. BUT, my leg is likely to buckle, decreasing the impact of my double-stomp significantly.

Now, the thing is, if your body was to slide backward, even just a little bit, I'd have a better chance of landing either on your stomach or your groin, instead of your chest. Haha. What do you think?

oh wait, i completly forgot you were stomping with BOTH feet... yeah im pretty screwed. if i had to choose, i would re-write it as one knife for each leg.

it was a wild risk to begin with, im pretty sure i made that clear. so i guess i am currently nutless, or im losing my leg. again.

Hehe. Too late!!!

I'll have my next post up, after work.

Just got done reading O and no-names first fight.

That was f*%kin awesome!

Lookin forward to joining in later.

Also, another Texan here. Reppin DFW! lmao

Alright! this place needed some new people. welcome aboard.

Few questions for anyone who can answer:

1. What are the rules regarding "hacking"? Like, say we're fighting in a room with a bunch of windows. Could we create loops, like jumping out one window sends you in through another? What about rooms where gravity is weaker, or non-existant?

2. If during a match, an agent interupts, who controls the agent? Will it be something like both people calling a non-vocal truce to tag team the agent with both people saying their attack on the agent, and the agents attack on the former opponent? I'll check again, in case I overlooked it.

Nice to have another person interested!

1. Well, by default, the rooms are pretty basic (think the fighting dojo in the first Matrix movie), but they can be pre-programmed (before the fight) to have any sorts of weird tweaks to them. Someone couldn't just automatically decide to warp, in the middle of a fight, though. It would have to be pre-determined that such things could be done. Basically whatever is agreed upon, before the fight, goes.

2. It would all depend on how it's discussed in this thread. It can be a completely new person (DV Member) that wants to play an agent, or one or both of the present fighters can write in what the agent is doing. It's really open to change, as long as any changes are discussed and agreed upon, in this thread, before it actually happens.

What about a highway fight on a never ending highway with hacked gas tanks so we'd never have to refuel?

If anyone wants to try me, I'll be riding this


If you guys think of any reason this wouldn't work out, let me know.

If not, I've got most of my inventory ready to go.

That would probably work (though may be tough to write out and make interesting), but I'd be willing to try if you can't find someone else to spar with.

The fight is to be here, and sorry for the huge pic, but I assumed that would help with visualizing the fight as it's playing out.



Also, the water isn't "swimable". Any and all fighters are limited to walking on it like a firm water bed mattress.

My weapons are scenario typical; Katana with metallic blue sheath, bright red wrapped handle and hangoff, a shuriken kunai hidden in a pocket in my shirt and one on the outside of each leg about mid-calf, and two iron tonfa with leather wrapped handles.

*patiently waits for challengers*

Edit: For easier/faster typing, my name can be shortened to "Pomoc".

AA really is dead isnt it?...

well, im attempting to stay and enjoy myself, ive written another post for the first time in a long time, i hope i didnt completly kill it

Sorry about the delay, man. Been insanely busy, lately. I'll get a post up in just a bit.

hey! its fine, i took a break as well. i just hope i can remember what all has happened... ^__^''

EDIT: LOL @ your new avatar

Anybody else wanna go a round?

Is that offer still valid, or has this thread died out for good? It would really be a shame if that were the case.

Sure, the offer's still open.
Any suggestions on the fight terms/conditions, or do you want me to set the scene?

Awesome.

I think an urban landscape would be a cool setting. I'll let you fill in the details. =)

As for conditions...

Weapons:
All I want is a Katana to start with.

It would be preferable if we didn't have guns at start. However, there might be a gun/pawn shop somewhere nearby, if you know what I mean.

Also, to make things interesting, no killing civilians.

That's really all I had in mind.

Sounds good!
I'll get started on an opening post.

I apologize in advance if I'm a little slow getting my posts up. I spend more time than I should on each one.

I do promise at least one a day. My course load is killing me right now, but I've almost caught up on everything so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
