Captain Fight

That 500 posts thing was bullshit anyway. People spent like three days with a mod in the cave and they'd both get so bored with it after 10 posts or so, they'd just declare mission accomplished.

I was actually gonna go through with all the posts, had about 25 posts worth till my comp died and i decieded to just say "screw it."

But anyways, I think the captain duel would be a good idea, and that the captain should be able to beat the challenger with just there shikai, or have some other leveling device of some sort

I move that we allow this "Captain Challenge" but only under specific circumstances.

My suggested circumstances for the challenger are as follows.

-Already has bankai and other update info approved prior to duel, conditional on winning of course
-Staff approval of duel.
-Have at least 2 members backing your claim(or backing that the captain does not deserve the spot)
-2 challenges MAX on the same captain,second challenge a battle to the DEATH

My suggested circumstances for the challenged are as follows.

-Must be a captain on the register.
-Must "lock" bankai for duration of fight.
-Must be lock 70+ kidou(or w/e level are too high for VC)
-Has to step down if he loses, will likely fall into a "former captain" status.

further suggestions.
-Captain can step down to challenger
-"former captain" status characters would have "locked" bankai, but would still retain it, just not be able to access it.

<.< please don't hit me.

*hits omi but not too hard*

Im sorry but EVERYTHING you just stated severely limits the captains. Hell if that person really wants to be a captain that bad they should fight them as is or "with a temporary bankai". I don't even like the idea of the captain challenge because that would take a massive amount of rp away from arcs. I know after i'm done defending my spot im not gonna feel like goin to fight some arrancar. So i would decline each one..sorry.


EDIT: I dont even like the temporary bankai idea i just said.. that means the mods and admns will be approving somethings that may never get used.

Mmm... We had this very problem at our old RPing sites and for a time it gave us quite the headache, too.

*Looks over everything and sighs*

Taking a walk down memory lane:


First things first, never EVER tie anything to the post count. Seriously, people can and will spam up the forum. I know this because, well, I’ve done it before. About 5-6 years ago, me thinks, but at that time I had not yet come to appreciate the usage of words or the English language as I do now.


Secondly, at the SFC (when it was still active) we used to use a ranking system for Captains and Vice Captains.

Rookie VCs < Adept VC < Elite VC / Rookie Captain < (Very) Elite VC / Adept Captain < Elite Captain

Simple, yes?

Only the Elite VCs were allowed to possess a realistically underdeveloped to moderate Bankai and have the chance to challenge a Captain for their position. The ranks themselves were determined by the admins and mods upon the approval of an application depending on how active the person was, how much they’ve contributed to the site, and how well they could RP (so no, not everybody could magically become an Elite – jeez). If the member wanted to argue their position or up their rank, all they had to do was send a PM to the staff members, ask, and give a few reasons as to why they thought that they should have so-and-so rank (the rest who chose to publicize and dramatize it had their asses handed to them).
Despite what one might think this method ended up working out pretty well because our members were a lot more reluctant in kicking other people’s characters out of their positions lest they had gone completely inactive, have left the forum all-together, or it was for plot purposes. In the case of your forum, however, I think that setting up a limit somewhere might be a good idea.

Also, in the case of a challenge I personally do not believe that a Captain’s powers should be restricted lest they choose to impose that restriction upon themselves. Techniques, abilities, and kidou (even forbidden ones) are, after all, created to be USED one way or another. The Captains are the pillars of the Gotei and are deservingly so – if a VC wants to become a captain they should have to earn it through their own means may it involve brains and/or brawn.

…

… And that’s my two cents for the day. Me mind is lacking sugar at the moment so everything’s scrambled and I can’t remember what else I wanted to say. XP

*Goes to find her cookie stash* <(<)


Edit: Oh yeah!

Creating an exp system can work, but then you have to make a guide to determine how much exp gets you what. Plus, there will be people who will complain and are strictly against the usage of basic math for some reason so that's really up to you guys.

And in this case that would be the admins. =p

EXP is for pussies and Shin Megami Tensei games! D:

What Baku said. Yes, I completely disagree with Omi, and in fact... *strikes Omi across the face* It practically favors the vice-captains in the fight. Way to be subtle about your ambitions, Omi. You need to put a little more muscle into your punches, Jin. XD

See, this is treading treacherous waters, because it'll be really hard to push back the flood of VCs who want bankai after this happens. I for one suggest that this discussion be taken to the CK+R, because the only thing we've gotten out of the members so far is either complicated equilibrating systems, captains being handicapped or other retarded shiet, or just not giving half a crap. Since it comes down to the admins anyway, I suggest that we at least keep this in the backs of our pockets and do away with all this.

And in any case, such an event should rarely, if ever happen. In my opinion, if the VC can beat the captain without any modifications, THEN WELL DONE SIR you've earned your goddamn bankai. D=< Bring it on.

Pssshhh, I have no intention of making a VC kthx, don't be so quick to assume my suggestions had anything to do with my own evil plans.
