Freelance Challenge versus elements of power

[Yayap]

Knux and myself challenge your archaic clan. Meathos might make an appearance, but that would be redundant. Our terms are 1v2, obviously with you at advantage. We add the conjecture that as Knux and myself are Diablos, as are Dragon_Knight X and Sehkmet, that they may not be on your roster; This is not a war between your archaic clan and the Diablos, Knux and myself are not representing them in this challenge.

You are to provide a response within 24 hours to this challenge; letting this go by default shall be declared a loss against your clan, declining shall count for honorable decline. Should you accept, you must have an entire list of fighters ready to go; you are to be providing two fighters per challenger, and it would be wise not to have two in store should Meathos be in on this challenge. Also, your list is to have two of your fighters already decided on one of the challengers.
A quick synopsis: 1v2 per challenger, so have two on backup for Meathos.
Dragon_Knight X and Sehkmet may not participate, being fellow Diablos.
This is not a fight against Diablos; Previous stipulation to prevent interclan conflict.
There is a time limit imposed upon you to both respond and post each part of the battle (should you accept). Defaulting on the response shall count as a defeat for your clan.
Fighters list is to be ready at time of acceptance, with two of your fighters having pre-designated opponents against each of the challengers.


Official in C&CW, with the following amendments:
1:2 fighter ratio.[/b[ This means there are two challengers and four challengees.
[b]One single battle. As an added challenge, there will be only one battle. How you figure out how you will accomplish this is part of the challenge.

The other stipulations stand.

[Dragon_Knight X]

why are you picking a pointless fight? no one in the EoP save myself and Salkas are in any shape to battle you guys. also if this is a freelance challenge and not a clan vs clan challenge then barring myself and salkas on the terms that it is to prevent interclan conflict is utter bull... you're not acting as a clan but as individuals and thus I think you need to give better reason for barring myself and Salkas from this. right now, EoP is in battle with the Diablos, and I've no doubt they are going to loose. one last thing, if it were a matter between diablos and EoP I would side with Diablos any day but as you say, this is feelance, and has nothing to do with the diablos... so please provide better reasons... otherwise I think the stipulation of myself and Salkas not being in this should be removed.

[Yayap]

You know what. Fine. Participate, because it seems that the addition of that stipulation isn't doing its job anyways.

[Knux]

I'm in this for two reasons, one of them being Salka's leaving me off the list in the Diablos fight for some unknown reason, and secondly their declaring of a win after LK was banned and saying they "would've won" anyway.

[Meathos]

Hey, it'll be fun. A free-for-all team-based RPB with like 6 people?

Pretty cool, if you ask me.


I'm in, guys, only because it redefines 'Clan War'... Or Hell, this could be called 'RPS' Role-Play Skirmish.

[thedarkmage]

I'm on the fence about this one. I'm fairly confident that I can put together an RPB post that wont make myself look like a fool, but my RPB experience is zero. And a two-on-one might not be the best way to start out. So until I make up my mind, I'm on the fence.

[Meathos]

I still owe you an intro, don't I? Sh!t, lol, sorry, I've been busy and I forgot.

Well, I'll try to get something up in the other war, and maybe you can hop into this for fun, since it all is for fun, really.

[Vaati]

um i decline the challenge. mods please close this.

[Meathos]

Yeah, you can decide whether or not to close a thread that's not yours, right? No.

You decline, fine. Go hide.



Anyone else from the EoP, or anything wanna give this new style a try?

[Yayap]

You declined without even talking it over with the rest of your clan... And I even removed the 'no DKX/Salka' thing too...

[Pontus]

I'd watch out guys or bounty will warn you for trolling (check sig, lol)

I'd actually love to take place in an "RPS"

Posting for a subscribtion so I can watch this if it happens.

[Sekhmet]

Actually I would have declined anyway....

[Vaati]

look. me and dragon knight talked this over. we are already at war at the moment. soo that means that we don't want to fight two battles at once. none of us want to fight.
this is what dragon knight said.the challenge

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

decline the challenge bounty. none of you are up to the task yet. decline on the following terms: 1. you are already actively fighting the diablos and starting another right now would be very foolish. 2. they are trying to force myself and Salkas from joining when we are members of your clan (the reason being that they know they can't win if myself and salkas are involved, it has nothing to do with the diablos) and 3. they are picking a fight that is already underway against the diablos. they are somewhat upset it would seem that they aren't able to participate so are trying to pick a fight just so that they can participate in battle which (if they bar the two that could give them a challenge) isn't worth fighting anyways. please reword it as you see fit, but this challenge must be declined. got it. thank you.

oh and we lose big woop. we decline. i really don't care if we lost.

[Meathos]

Yeah, we never asked for an explaination. Peace.


So, in this little thing we're setting up, the fighters are

Meathos
Knux
Yayap
Pontus
and maybe thedarkmage

lol, we need a few more so we can test this out.

[Sirithe]

Sh!t I'll play.

[Sekhmet]

He already declined, it will have to be up to the others in the clan if they wish to fight..

[Yayap]

Active is a funny way to describe that war... And no, DKX and Salka were not barred from the fight because of the idea that we wouldn't be able to win, the barring was due to you fighting the clan you'd be fighting for already (is that irony?) and for the other reason previously cited which has just become sh!t out the window.

Knux opted for the initial challenge for his own reasons, I only joined him because I don't care much for... my own reasons. I only put up the challenge because Knux was too busy playing a game.

The reason I cite for declining, other than being an obvious marionette, is the fear of an unorthadox method of RPB.

[Knux]

So bounty, you eagerly accepted LK's challenge when he was willing to fight you all alone, and then accepted it as a win when he was banned, saying he would've lost anyway. When I offered to fight in his place instead you decline. I suppose you want all you can get to look good.

We were looking to test out a new type of RPBing as well, it wasn't just to fight you.

Also, Dragon Knight, I wouldn't have cared a bit if you fought against us or not. Saying we knew we couldn't win if you were involved is an arrogant statement, I think. Especially since you don't know me. Even if I did know your skills and didn't think I could win against you, I wouldn't have made up some excuse.

[Vaati]

i did not eagerly accept the challenge. i said i might. go see for yourself.

[Moridin]

I would agree with what bounty quoted from DKX. That's the opinion I came up with after readin the first post. If the EoP will accept a merc, I'll fight for them to make it more interesting.

[Yayap]

They might be better off without vets. A vet is sure to give them a win, but what good is a win? It'll set the thought that, "Hey, we [I] beat them with my crap writing! It'll work for everyone!" instead of "Damn, I lost... How can I refine my writing?" This goes hand in hand with the watching versus participating. When you watch someone do something, you just see how it's done. When you participate, you begin to understand why each part happens and what you can do to make it better.

See where I'm going? In victory there is no lesson.

[Meathos]

lol, I just wanna try a new style of RPB. So, I don't care who's fighting, it'll be fun and interesting all around.

[Pontus]

Yeah, I agree in that I just want to try a new style of the fighting too so let's just do one between us instead. Are we going to do 2 vs. 4?

[Knux]

i did not eagerly accept the challenge. i said i might. go see for yourself.

So you said you might accept his challenge, and then once he gets banned you take it as a win? I'm sorry, but that's just f*cking stupid. Like I said, you take whatever you can to make yourself look good.


Anyway, so far we have:
Meathos
Knux
Yayap
Pontus
Sirithe

One more guy and we can start this thing.

[Meathos]

Well, Pat, Mori said he'd fight.

Do you still want in our little experiment, Mori?

[Moridin]

Only if they can't muster up one more.

[Vaati]

i have already told my clan to not fight. none of them will. so if you are going to try it out on each other change the title.:bow:

[Knux]

Yes Bounty, we already knew that. Also, it's Yayap's thread and he can leave the title as is if he wishes. :bow:

[Yayap]

Not to mention I can't change the title... Besides, it'll make for a good record of... things.

Excuses, excuses...

[thedarkmage]

i have already told my clan to not fight. none of them will. so if you are going to try it out on each other change the title.:bow:

Actually bounty, I was showing intrest in doing this. In fact, I think I will.

[Knux]

Actually bounty, I was showing intrest in doing this. In fact, I think I will.

Oh, snap. Take that, bounty. [/gangster]

Anyway, this means we have enough people to try this thing out. I suppose we should arrange some type of 2 on 4 team thing then.

[Yayap]

We could get a 3v4 if Mori joins in on this as well.

[Pontus]

And what are the teams going to be? Also, should we have a set order?

[Yayap]

As previously mentioned, there would be no set order... Either that or I'm forgetting something here.

Tentative procedure is that anybody can RP against anybody else for whatever reason at whatever time, but only after some amount of time or something.

[Meathos]

I'd like a more scheduled approach, because then someone can end up writing like 7 attacks. lol.

I'm thinking each 'team'(One is numbers, one is letters), would take turns posting their posts, as if they were one person in a normal RPB.

As in:

1,A,2,B,3,C,1,A,2,B,3,C...

Or,

1,2,A,3,4,B,1,2,A,3,4,B...

All depending on the amount of combatants per 'team'.

[Moridin]

2v1's have been done in the past. I've done them before. The normal order for the 2v1 is, 1,2,A.

[Meathos]

Yeah, but this'd be one massive fight with everyone. Like, it'd be a 4v2, or something crazy.

[Moridin]

I wouldn't be able to stand waiting on people in a fight like that. You'd have to count on everytone being quick to respond and I don't trust that.

[Meathos]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

But, with the people we have so far, the wait shouldn't be too long, especially if this is just like a test-run of the entire idea. We're not that lazy, compared to some people, and we all have an interest in the experiment, it seems.

[Moridin]

Yes, but you guys have 5 people on your team and if you insist on 2v1's, we'll have ten on ours. I'd rather wait on two people than 15.

[Yayap]

The 2:1 was dropped awhile ago...

[Meathos]

Well, from what I gather is that 5 people want in the fight. Not necessarily on the same team, just in the fight.


We could just get enough people, say 7 tops, and then split them into unfair teams. Or Hell, we could take the five of us and make it 3 v 2, or something.

[Knux]

Seems like we have enough people, granted that those who signed up are willing to stay active in this. Let's figure that out and get this rolling, shall we?

[Meathos]

Indeed. I wanna see exactly who'll be in this, though.


So far, it's

Yaps
Meathose
Knucksh
Sirithe
Pontus
thedarkmage
Moridin?


So, yeah, everyone post saying you're in before we go off making random teams and all that sh!t.

[Sirithe]

I'll play, but my RPs wont be near top quality.

[thedarkmage]

I'm in.

[Moridin]

I'll be in if you need one to even out the teams number-wise. Otherwise I'll sit this out.

[Pontus]

Well you know I'm in...

[Knux]

I have a feeling that we'll have to put this thing on hold for a while, no? With this tournament starting up I don't think anybody will be up for this kind of thing.
