Arena!

[yozai]

You should make an arena where people can RP battle and bet their points and things like that...and judges could judge to see who won the battle by posting the best and stuff and points could be awarded to the winner. Just a suggestion.

You mean make another board in the Kingdom for just arena fighting or are you talking about something in the OOC board? o0;; *is a little befuddled*

[yozai]

Like in the Roleplay...Cause peoples characters could come and watch them and such also...And the points would be cool to bet, just as an extra thing so they have something to win.

Mkay, I think I get what you are saying.

So when these battles are judged is it on how well the post is written { vocabulary, clarity, etc. } or how the character fights { origionality of attacks, good come backs, etc. }?

[yozai]

A little of both...Cause you don't want someone posting a really short post with a good attack. You want the post to be well described and things like that.

So maybe have a sort of rubric? Maybe something like this { except with more subjects }:

Post;;
-Vocabulary- 10/10
-Length- 10/10
-Clarity- 10/10

Character;;
-Attacks- 10/10
-Appropriate weaponry- 10/10

Then add 'em up and see who wins?

[yozai]

Yeah ^-^

"traditional RP battles have normally been judged on a) acute literacy [ aka, not describing winter when it is summer, knowing your gram. and spelling, when to break paragraphs, placing commas, tenses, etc.
b) originality of attacks, balance between action and thought of character, etc. interesting description

The only thing it normally isn't judged on is damage caused by attacks and length of post, though something says a 2 phrase post vs a 1000 word one will not contend."

That's just what I've lived by, it varies naturally.

It is a good idea, we'll have to think about it a bit more. Thanks for the suggestion.

So, based on quality over quantity here, right? Maybe this could be weekly or monthly; depending on the member or staff’s activity level? If so, should we have a sign up list or something? ‘Cause of we are to do this [Which I don’t know, maybe a test run to see how members like it and what not] it should be one versus one. Who would get the rewards-- May I ask? Would both the battlers, and the betters get money, or just the betters? I think staff should join this as well; would be funny to me. This does interest me, but yet, it bugs me. I don’t know. Does it have to involve characters that are not already in a thread to participate in this thing, or does it not matter for it is in OOC-- Contests? This could be a way for the character to get enemies and friends and such in the aftermath. o3o

For a rating form… How about a list like this?
Each is worth 10 points;; 100 is a perfect score-- Duh. Oo;

Introduction;; [Judging on how you introduce said character. If you jump right in or just wait around.]
Grammar;; [Punctuation, capitalization, spelling, the works.]
Flow;; [Does your sentences flow into another? Make much sense.]
Match;; [Does it match to the characters profile? Do they act this way?]
Length;; [Common sense.]
- - - - -
Reaction;; [Did they react to this or did you not catch what the attacker did?]
Dodge/Attack;; [Fair amount of damage done and received.]
Originality of attacks;; [Yeah, slash won’t cut it. o3o]
Time;; [Don’t want to wait days on end for a simple reply.]
OOC reaction;; [Don’t want to see fights or complaints OOC you know >>;]

Something like that? O.o;
I don’t know. It would be nice to get more input on this from other members, let alone staff. Alas, we’ll see on this. As Ebb said, thanks for the suggestion; we just need to think on this. o3o
