It's time for change.

Alrighty, this section is undergoing a complete overhaul.

The original purpose of this forum was to host a series of character battle tournaments that utilized argument structure and debate as tools for a character's victory. I created this section in an attempt to stimulate conversation and debate amongst our memberbase. The response I recieved was not that.

The activity in this forum just never really took off. The only members besides myself who would participate regularly are no longer a part of the active memberbase, and I have lost the desire to even throw my hand into the ring simply because of the stifling nature of the tournament scheme and the lack of participation from 99.9% of the members.

So, from this point on, this forum is being opened up to free-for-all battles and match-ups. Anybody who enters this section is now granted the right to create any battle they see fit and argue over it to their heart's content. Hopefully removing the limitations of the tournament structure will motivate people to participate more frequently.

Have fun, guys!

I think this new structure sounds better anyway.

So tell me what you think.

Feel free to do whatever you want, Main Man, but don't expect anyone on this forum besides me to have any idea of who half of those characters are. I'm willing to bet that two other people here know who Fawful is and what he's capable of.

........I have no idea who those are

You should seriously consider becoming familiar with the genius that is Fawful, Grav.

"I have fury!"

Hmmmmm, well if no one here would recognize most of them then I doubt it would be a successful tournament. What franchise are people on this forum mostly associated with? I have noticed a battle between Magus from Chrono Trigger and Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7 on a thread so maybe Square-Enix would have been a more reliable source to do a tournament on. So give me some suggestions. What are people into on this forum, and I will set up a different tournament.

Okay, Main Man, you seem to be missing the point here. I just dissolved the tournament-based structure of this section for a reason: people don't participate. By opening up the format as a free-for-all, it gives the members the freedom to create any matches they want whenever they want.

Maybe you should stop trying to set up this tournament and just focus on creating a few good battles here and there. That would be a proactive way of taking advantage of this section's new format, instead of trying to repeat exactly what this forum failed at already.

Split and merged. Discussion of the format change belongs here, not in the questions thread.

So are we limited to games or can it be anything vs anything?

I could probably do Anime ones. Heh.

Anything vs. anything would be fun. Lets experiment and see what happens.

Oh, and make sure an Admin enables people to post new threads in this section. I just tried 2 seconds ago and didn't have permission. Good to see the Admins so active.. Oh yeah..

Does anybody read Dragonlance besides me? The main battles I'd be interested in would have characters from that series in it. I've just started reading Forgotten Realms as well if that is a more applicable setting.

King, you can match up any type of characters that you would like. Comic book, videogame, literary, movie. Anything you want.

Titus, I have put in a request for the post restriction to be removed. The forum should be completely open by tomorrow morning.

Okay, it's already taken care of, guys! Go ahead and post away!

But it has to be a fictional character of some sort? Like I can't do Bruce Lee vs Jackie Chan?

If you really want to, I suppose that would be fine.

Intelligent he may be, but fluent in English Fawful is not.

"Have you readiness for this?"

Take away his little hat and I could probably kick his ass.

But it has to be a fictional character of some sort? Like I can't do Bruce Lee vs Jackie Chan?

Dude, Bruce Lee would kick Jackie Chan's ass!
