Fandom Fight Club, Post II

[tyler_gone]

Hi hi!

Fandom Fight Club, as outlined in this post is a go. Its first meeting is set for this Sunday in Atlas Gym, and handwavey announcements have been made.


Each week, 5 official fights will be RNGed, and set up for the players to participate in. There will also be a thread for unassigned combat, for those who just want a friendly spar. Anyone who wants to participate is welcome, but any less-than-professional attitude will get a participant removed from FFC.


IC Rules:
1. What happens here, stays here. We can't keep the squirrels out, but if somebody tells you something on the mat, don't repeat it off the mat unless you know they're okay with it.
2. No weapons or powers unless everyone knows in advance and is fighting within their weight class.
3. No shoes.
4. If someone says "stop" or goes limp, the fight is over.
5. Two people to a fight.
6. Fights go on as long as they have to.
7. No tourists. If you need to take a week to see what this is like, cool, but no coming back just to watch. You wanna watch, get a TV; here, everybody fights.
8. No fighting if you're sick/injured. You wanna screw up your body, you do it on your own time.
9. The organizers reserve the right to remove you from the club at any time for violation of these rules. You will get scolded. You will have to deal with a Deeply Unhappy Atreides, and for your own safety, we do not recommend this.

OOC Rules:
1. You might be the best in your canon, but odds are you aren't the best here. Dodging every single blow isn't realistic, and it isn't fair to your sparring partner.
2. Godmodding = Sad Pandas. 1st time someone complains, we'll warn you. 2nd time, a stronger warning, and you're out of FFC for two weeks. 3rd time, you're out for good, and we let the admins know why. Again, it isn't fair, and you wouldn't like it if someone did it to you.

To help set up bouts, we're asking everyone who's still interested to pick a weight class in advance, and also to indicate if they would be using powers. Please wait for the OCD and sign up below. If you want to play out a spar Sunday, please indicate that in your comment.

ETA: In the wise words of atreideslioness: "Just a note - the grouping you start in is not the one you're stuck in forever!

"If you improve IC, then yes, you can move up! If you suffer an injury, then you can move down to work at a lower level until you're back up to speed. We've got a wonderfully diverse group here, and a great chance to learn from each other while we deal with those pesky 'anger management' issues. If you didn't learn something while hanging out at FFC, well, your organizers are going to be woeful."

Katina Choovanski, no RNG this week on account of both RL and that someone needs to drag her into this. ;)

Turtle Wexler, can RNG if needed, or not!

Re: BEGINNER

[lovemykilt]

Priestly. No RNG this week, please, for the same reasons as Katchoo.

Re: BEGINNER

Re: BEGINNER

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir Thropp, can RNG whenever.

INTERMEDIATE

[tyler_gone]

Sign up in this thread if your character has been in a fair number of fights, knows the basics, and sometimes even wins.

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[tyler_gone]

Tyler Durden, who wants to be in the RNG this week.

Re: INTERMEDIATE

Dinah Lance, RNG for this week

[Just barely intermediate -- formal training in eskrima, and kickboxing, but probably only the equivalent of a green or orange belt; 17 months of constant training]

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri Veila, sitting out the RNG this week due to RL, woe.

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie Madrox. RNG.

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

Daisy Day, RNG at will!

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[shiroi_tiger]

Nathan Algren, for great RNG justice!

Because he is so not as hardcore as this icon suggests quite yet, omg.

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[intraspective]

Yamanaka Ino, sitting out the RNG due being off-island.

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Anemone - barely intermediate - skipping RNG.

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

RNG Sokka!

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Alice would like to be RNG'd.

ADVANCED

[tyler_gone]

Sign up in this thread if your character is especially trained, skilled, or generally good enough to win almost all the freaking time.

Note the first: There's no shame in sticking a character in Intermediate. I'm putting Tyler in Intermediate.

Note the second: Yes, some characters would, if asked IC, misstate their experience level. (Sarah Walker would, for example.) Please classify them honestly here anyhow.

Re: ADVANCED

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

Sarah Walker, who wants to be in the RNG this week.

POWERS

[tyler_gone]

Sign up here if your character has some kind of ability related to who they are that they'd definitely want to use in a fight.

Re: POWERS

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah's used to fighting with, and without her telekinesis, but she'd like the option of doing either/or, and giving her opponents fair warning. She can both push opponents away, trip them, and slam them into mats. In a spar with weapons, it's great for retrieving one she dropped. But she knows she needs to be able to fight without them, so she's okay with either scenario.

She'd probably have to warn *everyone* about the touch-telepathy, which doesn't usually tend to show up in a fight, but against someone else with similar powers is more likely to be triggered. She's 5'10", and strong, but still a rookie in her approach.

QUESTIONS/COMMENTS

[tyler_gone]

Ask here! We may even answer!

Re: QUESTIONS/COMMENTS

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

Seriously, if anyone actually wants to wolf-wrestle and it's cool with the in-chargey types... I'm up for that. Or Blind Seer is. Whatever.

OOC

[tyler_gone]

The post just looks naked without it.

Did you say NAKED???

...just kidding!
