*coughs*Xeios for the last time please lighten your text so I can read it.....*coughs*

There you've found common ground. Look.... This is the last time I'm using this analogy.

There are three types of Simbattlers,
Artists, Sketchists, and Modern Artists.

What I see going on is that people are bringing the Modern Artists to stop thinking that a red dot on a canvas is art. Yet what you see is the artists taking the sketchists and the modern artists and trying to make them better.

To be honest this whole Shin-Ra thing has made me very inspired to write better, I don't want to have umpteen hundred pages, but enough to fully describe my attacks in a manner that is easily understood.

What I don't get is this, describing everything about a gun. I mean i can get the specs in your character profiles. I don't want to know what the gun looks like I want to know what the gun does. I'd rather the paragraph that is made to be easily understood instead of me rereading it millions of times. That would be a better help.

Tact? Bah. I'm pure muscle..i thought you knew that, heh.

I'll step back so Elyk can take care of this. He's better suited for conversation.

To be honest I never felt so pumped to write in a thread like this. Reminds me when I first started here. I sort of feel a little renewed that there are different people here.

You think you're renewed now? Wait until the tournament.

We're going to show you that we live up to the "hype"..and not only that, but the process of doing so will be damned fun. For ALL involved.

A common ground that no one seems to want to agree on other than me. Why can 't the rules stay the same but make detailed posts at least more suggested and acheivable. NOt simply forceing everyone to conform to their pathetic standards.

FOR THE LAST TIME!!! The rules are a FUCKING GUIDELINE!! Why are you just saying what THEY'RE saying?

Think about that's what they want more description, doesn't matter if you put logic in it or not. give them the fucking benefit of the doubt.

You can bend the rules at the beginning of the battle. How else do we have our crazy fights, Cyro's GodMod battles, or summoning battles?

We bend the rules at the beginning of the fight....

Ya know, you actually sounded like you had a good head on your shoulders through that entire post. In the post you stated that not nessicarly change the rules but strive for something better...to acheive for. That was all cool, But the part where your post just broke down and made it completly pointless was the "Pathetic standards" part.

Its funny, you say its something to strive for, then you say its pathetic. Just pointing it out.

I have heard no where that the rules are just guidlines. And if they truly are, then passing any new rules woul just be very ascinine now wouln't it...

I agree with your analogy, destroying an entire group of people who battle is a bad idea. It leaves people out, and usually those people who are left out are the most active in battling.

"I would like to propose that the only valid attacks, defenses and counters will be those that one can explain and elaborate upon either in the post, or in OOC. Logically, and technically explained techniques and abilities will be the only ones allowed, with the inclusion of magic being that of an explained art, rather than a mysterious catch-all for things people can't explain."

"The Rule: No one shall use anything they cannot explain, define, or reason about in a battle, whether it be armour, accessories, items or any other substance/process/material that directly affects or changes the outcome, or flow of the battle."

Where does it state that you have to have a 10 paragraph post? Hmm? It only states that you need to be ABLE to explain.

Toss an "OOC: This sword can cut through almost anything because the blade is pure fire energy" at the end of a post. Be able to elaborate on that a little bit if asked...such as how hot the energy blade is. We are NOT TRYING TO COMPLETELY CHANGE THE WAY YOU WRITE. In fact, AS STATED IN THE BASICS OF THE RULE, you wouldn't even need to modify your average IC post. It would look better if you did..but a short, simple OOC note (or the ability to provide one IF ASKED) would do just fine. Why is this so difficult to understand?

Also id like to point out that if you use something based on a game/movie/anime something that already has precedence, its generally always aceptable.

Like say...for magic. If you use "materia" from ff7, your reason for the fire spell to work would be because you used the materia for it.

The rules help the newbs out Xeios... *takes in a deep breath and calms down* All everyone's doing is adding wood to both fires.

Ok, this is enough. I'm closing this thead, since the incedent is being resolved.

The whole Avalance deal is somethign that should NOT have taken place. I'm rather dissapointed in a few people who acctually joined it. I know why it was created, but it is only making matters worse.

We are not splitting the board up, since this is what will happen.

Xeios, I will be talking to you directly, when I'm back home, about disbanning Avalance.
