Slow maybe, but I don't think that's synonymous with dead. 

[Lemon Slices 358]

I am not blaming ~Ponyapocalypse~, but if you know your time is a bit sticky, (s)he should ask earlier.

 

Hey, if someone want to join another roleplay (of course, I don't want to mess the activity of everyone or steal the attention of this RP, is just for fun while having nothing to do until your fight), lets do something.

 

And no, the RP isn't dead. I'll do my best to keep it alive.

No?

Okay...

no its not dead, she posted and hopefully she keeps it going a little more often, otherwise ill make a new disqualification rule >.>

[Lemon Slices 358]

Wait. I think I am not understanding. Is Ponyapocalyse controlling Samurai? Wouldn't this be unfair? I mean, ~Ponyapocalypse~ should just put details and details about the attack she is about to do, and Samurai Equine is supposed to say if it the character can block/evade/counter/distort the attack.

Thanks for the concern. But unless he/she edited his/her post, I don't see any controlling going on.

 

Although, we may need to get comfortable folks, this first battle looks like it may take a while. And it doesn't help that I just now remembered the stats that were measured earlier.

If you all don't mind hearing an opinion from a non-participant, I'd say take as much time as you'd feel necessary! The thread's purpose was to have fun, right?  

 

Pretty much everything posted within the In Character Thread entertained me! My character's not even in the event's canon, and I still followed the thread!

 

If you still feel unsure about it, consider this:

 

The Dragon Ball Z anime that I loved (and I assume at least few of you here might have as well, based on the setting being similar to the show's World Martial Arts Tournament) during my childhood had a ton of memorable and great battles. However, how many episodes did the longest battle shown take, to reach it's conclusion?

What?

 

 

Quickly, Vertic blocks the attack with her metal axe. "Woo, calm down. you're getting fired up there. And imagine if this whole arena burned up, it woudn't be fun.." Within a nanosecond, Vertic kicks the samurai (in some way, at least) then disappeared out of sight..well maybe only, Samurai's eyes are pretty sharp, so he COULD know where Vertic now is, she was worried about that. 

I'm sorry, but to me this obviously means control. By the honor system, Vertic shouldn't attack Samurai unless you allowed. But if you are saying there's no problem, I'm fine with that.

[Chivalry Knight 161]

@@Lemon Slices,

The honor system allows the person (pony) being attacked to choose whether or not he attack goes through. Even if Vertic stated that she hit him, he could have easily just denied it and said it didn't.

ah... understood now. hehe

sorry for the confusion.

However, it only works to an extend. Had she said that she grabbed him and threw him against a wall. Then yes, that would be against the honor system. Though a small smack to the wrist is deniable.  :3

[Lemon Slices 358]

But theres a big problem, @Chivalry Knight, that is: Okay, I made something here with the other character. But the other player didn't like it. Before he reports he doesn't liked, another player writes a reaction of his character of that scene. This is a snowball chain reaction that would ruin it all.

[Chivalry Knight 161]

@@Lemon Slices,

Well thats actually part of general RP Ruling. You can't just write "I use multiple spells to pull off some awesome fireworks that completely makes Chivalry drop his jaw and feint." (lmao). Its literally in the rules XD

[Lemon Slices 358]

Wait, did you understand what I just wrote before you?

[Samurai Equine 51,722]

It's all just about a little give and take. You can throw some things out there and see if it sticks, maybe offer a suggestion for how things should go, but you can't dictate the outcome, nor can you pretend you moved on. In one of my posts, I said that my character attacked Ponyapocalyse's character and suggested how she would get burned if the attack connected. Ultimately, it was Ponyapocalyse's decision whether or not the attack actually connected or not.

 

In my recent reply, I decided to give a little. Based on the measured stats of our respective characters, I decided to let Vertic's attack connect and knock Samurai back. You can't have a constant string of "I attacked you", "Nope, you missed" replies, otherwise there will be no conclusion. It'll just be two people refusing to give up and the story will never progress.

 

But you've crossed a line when you take it too far. For example, if I were to reply saying that my character attacked, defeated Ponyapocalyse's character, and left the arena as if his victory was all ready made official; that'd be going too far. That would be the same as me self-appointing myself as mod of this RP, and that's wrong. I didn't start this RP, so it's not my decision to make.

[Star Saber 114]

I've just gotten into a habit of writing in 'uncertainties' if I would like something specific to happen when I connect with an attack I'll usually write what my character intends to do; an example would be as such:

 

((Ash swipes his tail at his opponent's feet, intending to follow up with a powerful punch to the gut if he successfully knocks his opponent off balance.))

 

It's all intended actions; it's up to the opponent to either refute the attack and block or evade or accept and make the intention an actual action.

But I did post. I even posted just now. 

...Oh! You mean in the RP!

Well, I would, but I honestly don't know what else to put. I've taken my turn and Ponyapocalypse's character isn't doing anything! His/Her last reply basically boils down to "Oh no! He did a thing! What do I do?" That hardly counts as actively engaging in the RP. Until Vertic actually does something, I have nothing to work with.

 

I'll wait for now and see if Ponyapocalypse gives another reply, one that actually has Vertic doing something. If not, if the waiting drags on for too long, then I'll try and think of something to get the ball rolling again.

Personally, I'm more than content with just seeing the progression, as it moves to its eventual (and Impossible to know, currently) ending.

Well, nevermind. I had something planned, but that's two replies, and Vertic still isn't doing anything. I'll go with my backup option. Sorry for the hold up, I guess. 

[Lemon Slices 358]

Hey Samurai,

If you win, and I win with Lemon, we'll be fighting!

Isn't that cool?

And you are right, Vertic is just avoiding and only you are taking the lead on the battle. In my opinion, you should win.
