Yeah, those are terrible! xD

Honestly one of the few sports I find terribly unfun, like... It just doesn't spark joy to see a fight in which all that matters is who touches the other first.

Which is why HEMA tries to have other rules, where strikes can be judged invalid if they don't connect properly.

HEMA?

I liked seeing my brother practice Kenjutsu back in his teen days, those fights were pretty cool~

A shame his practice time overlapped with my gymnastic classes, so I never had the chance to watch much~

Ah, HEMA stands for Historical-European-Martial-Arts. Or, well, essentially a fancy-ish word for historical fencing.

Skallagrim and Shadiversity do a lot of videos related to HEMA on YouTube, if you're ever interested.

Some Updates / Announcements

Thank you to everyone who sent me feedback today! It's really helpful and valuable for me to hear people's thoughts about how the game can be improved so it's fun (and not stressful) for everyone. Please don't be shy to send me feedback, and it helps me a lot!

First, I'm going to start with a review of recent news and rule changes in the past few weeks that you may have missed if you haven't been following the OOC thread:

+ + +

A. I'm recruiting a moderation team applications
I'm looking for players to help out with moderating the game. Fill out applications here!


B. Maximum of one A+ rank NPC per player
To avoid runaway numbers of powerful NPCs, there was a restriction so now every player can only have one A+ rank NPC.

If you made a powerful NPC and want to make another one, talk to @GM -- and we can make exceptions.


C. You can deduct EXP from your old characters when making new characters.
If you're making a new character and want them to be higher than level 1, you can deduct EXP from your existing characters and add 50% of that to your new character. For example, if you decide to trash your level 7 character (4200 EXP), you can create a new character who starts with 2100 EXP (Level 5). New characters still need to take Rank Promotion Exams to rank up.

You can also partially deduct EXP. For example, you can remove 1200 EXP From your level 7 character (4200 EX) and add 600 EXP to your new character to make a level 3 newbie. When deducting EXP from an old character, you should write something IC that indicates they got weaker (e.g. caught a disease, stabbed with a wound, lost an arm).


D. You need 3 players to open a new region
You can open a new region if you get references from 3 different players for a location.

There is a new change today - once you have three player references, PM @GM along with the 3 players who made the references -- and we'll talk about what the quest board looks like totally in advance. There won't be this annoying back-and-forth about what the in-character GM wants (or doesn't want), and instead we'll settle it all entirely OOC.

The planning for the new region will be done completely over PM with the players who did the initial region discovery.

Note: If it's for an emergency purpose (e.g. no higher rank regions available), @GM can waive the 3 player requirement to something like a 2 player requirement, but ideally 3 sources is best for diversity of ideas in the region.

E. Don't start big Scribel City events without community approval
Basically, don't throw a dragon attack at Scribel City unless you've talked about it OOC and the idea seems to be liked

A good rule-of-thumb to operate by is that you shouldn't pursue an event unless it looks like you have at least three players willing to participate in it. However, for particularly drastic events, @GM may veto a nuclear bomb falling on Scribel City.

+ + +

Anyhow, that's it! Thank you everyone!

If it's slimes doing attacking, technically in my view they're still under Rank E... even though it's still dangerous.

Actually a slime horde can become pretty dangerous if we take some rock slimes, some river slimes and swamp slimes. Like, you see, when hundreds of high-pressure jets of water strike from the giant puddle of slime it's quite hard already. If we put in rock slimes that's like giving living boulders to the horde and swamp slimes can release highly toxic gas on death or just at will

This looks good~

I mean, I like the back and forth tbh, but... It might be for the best to do it like that~

*hugs* Keep up the good work~
