[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 427154, member: 552"] In each match there are three participants. Two are fighters, and the third is the judge of the match. Each fighter posts two things for a fight, the roleplaying post and the strategy post. We may be persuaded to use the YB generators if someone proposes that we do so. It would put randomness into the contest, however, which may be frowned upon, so I won't declare it a necessary element in any way. The role-playing post is worth 4 points total. 1 Point for being formal and addressing your opponent appropriately 1 Point for combining your strategy with your role-play fluidly 2 Points for the quality of your post (from a judges role-playing standpoint) Judges have my permission to add as many points and categories to a judgement as they want. The only restriction is that they judge both fighters by the same criteria, and include at least these 4 key points. The Strategy post is worth 3 points total. 1 Point for creating a strategy that is logical for the situation 1 Point for posting respectfully to the other player (No comments that insult another player's strategy, concepts, character or such) 1 Point for fighting honorably against your opponent (tactics that do not break the codes a samurai will have been trained to follow) Judges can do the same as above, but also note that a player can earn a +2 bonus for fighting more violently (they recieve no points for fighting honorably, however). The player's character in this situation risks hurting his opponent and thereby being removed from the contest. If there are any questions, you are welcome to post them here. [/QUOTE]
