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

Weapons? id love any kind of superhuman power, but since these have been banned, i think ill take a diverse belt of knives, simple and fast, otherwise i prefer my fists.

I've played something like this before, but i need a bigger break-down, could i have a short tuorial/walkthrough?

Ok, we'll make it "users' choice of bladed weapons." Just state what all you're carrying on your initial post.

And basically it's just turn-based paragraph fighting. You can describe how you are moving, how you're attacking, where you're aiming, and what kind of damage you're intending to deal. The only thing you can't state is what actually happens at the point of impact. The other person then - if their char is in the position to - can write himself blocking/dodging the attack. They would, then, reply with an attack or idle movement of their own. If they are not in a position to avoid (or otherwise feel their character is incapable of avoiding) the hit, then that person would then write himself taking the damage.

Play continues until one person lands a potentially fatal hit or their opponent gives up.

I think that about covers it.

Alright, im liking this already. Am i understanding correctly that its basicaly on an honer system?

As for weapons: 18 small throwing knives in a pouch, 6 larger knives which can be thrown, each with a small sketch of a winking anime cat-girl on its blade. and 5 knives desinged for close range combot, very closely resembling Man of Steel's. a small vaniy mirror, and one extra strength smoke grenade.

Sorry if this is too many items, i'll thin it down if you need me too.

You were asking for a location? The deserted shopping mall sounds fine with me.

Alright, so you make the thread as well as the first move, and ill follow, lets go!

Yup, pretty much. If we end up disagreeing too much on whether or not a hit could be avoided, we can bring in a 3rd party judge.

Lol @ the cat-girl throwing knives, btw.

Everything sounds good, then. I'll go start up the first post.

Haha. Good so far.
Gotta crash for the night, though (working tomorrow ). I'll be back to post again tomorrow.

Hey, no-name. Just wanted to check: Are you beginning to fall, while slashing out at me? I only ask because that leg was the only one holding you up at the time.

Oh yeah, ill definetly fall, this is a wild desperate attack, just watch out for the grenade and my other weapon.. If im alive long enough to use it.

The fights going great so far, im realy liking this arcane arena, expect to see me around plenty more.

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.

This reminds me of a really amazing DBZ text-based RPG I used to play. It was so fun until my friends found out that I was writing big stories about DBZ on the internet.

I wish to do battle. Any challenger can set up the post and PM me.

What I wish (can be negotiated): No weapons, enclosed flat room with normal walls.
What I need (must haves): No hidden weapons, no OHKO's (unfair).

Mzzzzzzzzzkkkkccc....Come out and plaaaaaaayyy!
