Howdy all,

I wanted to know if there was a substantial number of you who felt as I feel regarding IC fights. Most people here on the site are apprehensive when it comes to fighting for real because most of us have selected the Hardcore status. This of course means that the most likely outcome of an IC fight would be the death of someones character.

But, what if, instead of death there was another outcome available? What if the dojo had another sub-board that resembled the annual tourney that was held some time ago. Think of it, people don't just not compete for four years while they wait for the Olympics. There are races and events year-round to prepare them for the greatest stage. Why don't we do the same? In order to take the edge off, we could have NPC proctors and medic-nin on stand by to end the fights before the possibility of death and even aid in the recuperation of those who were maimed and/or mangled in the process of fighting.

And best of all, the major incentive of it all would be an amount of EXP that the winner could walk away with. I love fighting and I don't want to have to constrict that part of RP to just the odd tourney every now and again. If anyone feels the same way please post here so we can petition the staff to consider this idea.

I support this idea, I'm not too good but the only way to get better is to continue to fight. And to continue to fight, I wouldn't mind joining tourneys like this, even fi the reward was justa simple title.

I like the idea too. It wouldn't be hard, either. You'd have say, a week of sign-ups, then you'd form a tourney tree, and let the fights play out round for round.

The big question though is that you speak of IC fighting. Are you considering this to be an IC tourney? Or is this supposed to be OOC, but simply using our site characters?

(I'm assuming the latter, but I think it'd be best to clarify your intent before we move forward.)

I'm talking about In Character fights. Just, without the possibility of death.

Or, even better, no death but you have to pay to get fixed up. Say 3,000 ryo to reattach a limb or something.

But I want this to be real! OOC fights are nice once in a while but they don't do shit for your charrie in the long run. Most manga's, hell, most shows and movies have this. And not necassarily tournaments. If I Pm someone and they accept we should be able to go right on into making a thread and Rping our fight. I just brought up the tournament to say that while we wait for those, this would be a good way to stay active for fighters.

Think Fight Club meets Spartacus; you go, you fight, and if you win, you get money and the fame. And since its IC, posts will net you EXP as well.

Hm... it could be set up... but it would require IC reasons to do so...

It doesn't really need IC reasons, or at least the reason could just be "to see who the strongest fighter is".

I meant, whoever is hosting it would need them.

I could imagine say, one country's Daimyo setting up a gladiator arena, and demanding that Ninja be fielded to fight for his amusement.

That would be a decent IC Reason to set something like this up. Plus, it fits with all of the conditions already stated. It would allow people medical attention afterward, (Unless the Daimyo is a bloodthirsty prick who wants to watch Death Matches) and it would give people a chance to sign up of their own volition for a chance to hone their skills.

That is exactly what I'm saying bro. Like the TekkenTournament, and why not make it all the Daimyo's? The Manga shows them being pretty vain and egotistical so they could easily be written as saying "who is the strongest among our respective villages?"
