Alright.

Guys, I wish to apologize. I saw this problem coming and it is still there, hard above my head. It is the problem that was left unsolved by GS's plan of score cards. It was somewhat solved, but not fully.

The fact that no one wants to lose a battle. Same was with me and Cojo, because if Hikaru wasn't knocked out, he would have won.

It is a problem I wish to finally address. And I wish to apologize for letting this happen and letting it last for so long without addressing the problem.

Ah, teh classic RP-battle problem... Hm...

Well, I can't help with the current one... but for the next match, I really don't care if Sayuri wins or loses. It might actually more fitting for her character to lose (plus, if she wins and Musashi wins... well, let's not think about that!). I'm not saying I'm going to make her lose... but if it gets ridiculous and must end, Sayuri isn't the kind of person to prolong fighting... so I'll submit whatever effort I can to keep the desire to win reasonable. ;o We'll see, I guess.

That's meh 2 cents.

Well of course nobody wants to lose, but the Chuunin Exams are, well, almost over. XD

So what does it matter? Musashi can lose. I just dislike the fact that he's nearly all of his major battles in the RP. The honest truth is it doesn't matter in the long run, we'll just end the battle, Musashi can be knocked out, and the judges will do whatever they do.

Heyheyhey, I'm not trying to offend anyone here!

I'm just trying to come up with a solution...

Because right now, Musashi and Lavan are rejuvinated. And it's a pain, because none of us are willing to lose.

There are two solutions. Either Musashi gets konked around the ears soon or just simply trapped in a position that's a losing one, or... Or they stall for 5 minutes, at which point Lavan's just gonna forfeit. Discretion's the better part of valor and all. XD

The problem is which to choose. There is no middle ground here, and that is the problem. I'm hoping to come to a compromise of some sort and not argue about this for too long.

... I REALLY don't want to play the antagonist. I've got no power to do so either. I'm just trying to solve this.

... Unless GS gets all Rambo on me with his admin powers.

"Alright Mr. T, as soon as they play eye of the tiger I'm kicking your ass!"

... What? Wrong Stallone movie?

No, no. I'm kidding of course. Using humor to lighten the mood. :3

Eh, I can't and won't influence things in any way more than saying I really, really want to win. XD

Hmm... is there some way we could flip a online coin? o_O Is that even possible?

I don't care, whatever happens happens.

I'll go post now. I just want to eat pizza first. XD

Well... Online coin or no online coin, I have a die roller program I put together myself. So I can roll a 2-sided die and see which number comes out top. Basically, a coin flip. So yes, it IS possible to flip the said coin.

How about that? I can try something like this.

Kiba then looked up at the arena. "Also, a note to our judges. For these matches, the point values for the grades have been doubled. S is now worth ten points, A worth eight, B worth six, C is worth four, and D is worth two. Additionally, on this round you will give only three scores: Justu Usage -- grading them on how well they use jutsu, be it Nin or Gen, Physical Combat -- a grade on how well they use Taijutsu and Weapon Attacks, and finally Successfulness -- how well they are able to set and impliment traps, how successful their attacks are, and how well their overall strategy works is all in this category. Meaning they will recieve only three scores, and each will be of double point value from the previous matches."


That explains the new grading system. You grade oon Jutsu Use, Physical Combat and Successfulness. Scores are doubled.

EDIT: Send them to DP.

That isn't the anonymity I'm thinking about, since now the people who I would have liked to keep the votes anonymous to are going to know my votes...

Nonono.

I thought you would put the scores together from the 4 people and then send it in a single PM. That was how it was supposed to work... At least I think so.

Idea! Too late for me as I already sent full votes to both parties involved (dontkillmedontkillmepleeeeeeeeeasedontkillme), but why not send votes for Musashi to HA, and votes for Lavan to GS? Therefore, votes for each character does stay anonymous, though only for the person who controls the character being voted on.

Example:

GS won't know who specifically voted what on Musashi, HA won't know who specifically voted what on Lavan. GS would know who voted what for Lavan, however, and vice versa for HA.

Good Idea?
Bad Idea?
"Throw bricks at DP"-style Idea?

Dudes, I don't quite understand everything about what's going down right now, but I do understand this: two RPers both wanted their characters to win and everyone assumed that one of them winning was the only option. Pardon my French, but whaaaa?!! I don't know what the sitch is in TNT right now, but I sure as heck know that SOMEbody could've interrupted it. That's what they did in the actual manga, after all, and that, I believe, is what we planned to do from the beginning... or what I planned to do, at least...

GS or someone: But what'll happen when we have to decide who's the big winner?
BR: Dude, we just interrupt it.
GS or someone: Okay, cool.

I don't know if it's too late or not, but, well: I know you guys, and trust me, if possible, nobody winning is better than one guy winning. Plus: they can both become chuunins, thanks to the setup of the exam! Why is anyone even having this conversation? :huh:

Bottom line: somebody's going to walk away quietly annoyed at the outcome of this if there is an outcome, and there's absolutely no reason for it, because from the beginning we (or apparently just me?!) had planned to prevent an actual champion, just like the original. So I say, get to it. :hs:

EDIT: And if something's going on like, the match is already over and just needs to be decided; or, if it's not the final chuunin battle; I challenge you to throw me a situation for which I cannot find a reasonable compromise. >:3 So if something's different from what I've described, tell me the sitch and I'll come up with something. And tell me before the votes are counted and somebody walks away quietly annoyed but not saying much... you know who you are...

<insert F word here>

I should've thought of that! >_<

If I'd interrupted it, I wouldn't have had to ruin two of my Musashi storylines!

The bottom line is, Kimi, Cojo and AGOI still have scores to send in. Whoever scores the highest wins.

But DAMN, I wish you'd told me that yesterday. >_>

Hey GS...

There is a certain button that we are gonna love.

The "EDIT" Button.

But we need to coordinate this. Up for it?

I already made the first change. I decided to have Kakashi interfere, since Lavan was about to torch so largely as to have the potential to hurt the people on the outside. Not only that, but Lavan went Shichibi. Enough reason for an ANBU to interfere.

Now, all I need is you cooperation in this, GS.

We were so into the battle that we forgot this option... :X Sorry!!!

Yes, I also forgot. >_<

Well, all is fixed now. :3

To be honest, I'm much happier this way... I really dislike the idea of Musashi being KOed in three out of the four major fights he's been in. x_X

I edited some stuff, if you need me to edit further, just tell me.
