A little hard to say. Once I have the final number of combatants, dates could be set up from there. Too bad :D
Only have half the submissions necessary to create a list. Deadline ends tomorrow.
One of my Roleplays uses stats for a turn based RPG mechanic during powerfl bosses and I was curious if anyone ever considered/tried using such a thing. For fantasy or adventure means, people will have many special abilities and maneuvers they can perform throughout the story. But my question is, how limited can they be? Yes, it involves a certain amount of writing knowledge to know when your character has probably reached their limit, but I'm curious if anyone ever considered putting in a level system to help balance things out. Say I have a character who controls electricity. That kind of power can be immensely shocking against an opponent (Pun intended) If they are inexperienced, it would be pretty hard to do a "May god strike him down" move if he's still becoming accustomed to his powers. This is where I think the stat/level based mechanics can prove very useful. As roleplayers, we have a certain respect for growth that our characters go through, which is why I find the RPG level up system comes in really handy. You can't do something you haven't gained through increased attributes. You're limited to the potential your character gains with each level. I also think this can help the roleplay last longer. People can become more invested to see their character reach their maximum potential (Of course an interesting story is a real help to this) To watch as you bud from a small newbie to an almighty threat is one of the many things that attract me to the RPG genre. So what about it? Ever considered it?
All recent entrants have been added to the first post. Very proud to say we have gained 22 players within the first week of sign ups! (Thermometer will be worked on when certain digital prizes are decided upon) Still have 2 weeks if you want to sign up or back out. Before backing out however, please inform me so I can set your member settings to "Easy Difficulty" BECAUSE TRYING TO PLAY THROUGH CRITICAL SEEMS TO BE A BIT TOO MUCH FOR YOU
Is there really a victor in 2 universes where no one really dies for real?
"Such a flow of raw emotion. Hatred and spite ll direct into that which creates it. Almost endearing if I didn't feel the same. All this time I was told to hold back... but not anymore." Vanitas summoned his keyblade and took his stance. "One by one we will retrieve the princesses without the need to be at bay any longer because you interfere. I am free to unleash my potential on you and I assure you... it's quite deadly." A dark aura began to surface around the boy, growing stronger with each word. "Only when you fall by my blade can you see your true fear. The overwhelming epiphany that you can't win against us, and that the heart of worlds will fall because of that very reason. There's no outcome where you win. I'll be whole once more and you will be lucky to keep your shell of a body." ~MISSION START~ (OOC - Since the apprentice battles are meant to be lost causes, I only put the basic information.

Changed to 10, (Sorry) And thank you :P
Thinking of using frienship levels for certain limits. So having the maximum power for a limit could depend on both CG and Friendship Level (FL). Below is a list of all active players. Feel free to rate them from 1-10 (10 being BFFs) in terms of how well you think your characters get along. If you have not yet interacted with the character, you can not give them a ranking.

The 7th Realm (A Game of Chance) [Tentative title] A Risk/Game of Thrones/board games inspired roleplay where it's more focused on the characters in the middle of the war than the factions themselves. Might make an interest thread later, but the premise is that 6 nations are fighting for their own reasons, dominion over a land that mysteriously disappeared 20 years ago. It has now reappeared with riches, dangers, and secrets to discover. This works like a strategy game where 6 roleplayers will be chosen as acting leaders of the nations, and I will be an unbiased 3rd party behind all actions requiring a roll of the dice as well as advisor to each nation. Each faction has it's own "Style" of soldier and way of life, from pirates, to warriors, to archers, to survivalists. (Other ideas found here)
Well, it was "KHV's Top 10," so yeah, definitely a popularity contest. (No Xehanort. Shame on you all) I guess Lea get's points for actually summoning one, but I wouldn't have put him on if not for the votes of others.
As good as her intentions were,Rapunzel could only look back and see what had become of her so called mother. Her hair had grey and wrinkles were becoming more and more noticeable. So very old, and aging rapidly since Rapunzel had not kept her young since she left. Her incantation not only healed the wounded, but prevented people from aging as well. Looking upon that face now, she would have happily gone with them. But something was keeping her back... the knowledge of who she really was, her parents, everything. "I need more answers!" Rapunzel insisted. "And they are yours for the receiving," Vanitas answered, swinging open the door. The girl's eyes intensified at the sight of the boy. She looked over his should to see that Gothel was gone and only her cloak remained, accompanied buy a small cloud of white dust. "What did you to her?" she asked softly, with fear in her voice. "Aged into dust as the saying goes. And why would you care? She lied to you. Betrayed you, and didn't even care about you. All she wanted was the hair on your head. Eighteen years of your life disappeared," in his hand he held the satchel that Rapunzel hid from Flynn. He held it up and took out the crown he had stolen from the castle. He held it up from his viewpoint to see how the crown would look on her head. " A life you lost because you were used. And now you will be used again... such a pitiful life for a princess of heart. But a life of use all the same." Rapunzel stepped back and held her hands. "I'm not going anywhere with you." Vanitas threw the crown to the side and walked towards her. "That wasn't a request." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nequa's helmet stood in one place for a few seconds to take in he hit Ananta had just performed. "Well that was disappointing," she finally spoke. Her helmet repositioned itself back to the girl on the floor. "Of course since I'm a girl too, I'm just as likely to hold a grudge, so I guess it's my turn to hit you!" She pulled back her fist which was slowly building with dark energy to the point where it was fully charged and ready to fire at a moment's notice. "Fire!" A fire spell was cast behind Nequa and exploded upon hitting the back of her right shoulder. She sighed loudly before powering down her fist and standing up to see who had interrupted her. She turned to see that Mizu had woken up and was out of the containment field. Merlin too was free and both eyed her down with intimidating glares. "Well, some one woke up cranky." Mizu pouted and looked angrily towards Nequa. The apprentice tilted her head and folded her arms. "Now why does that face look so familiar?" she questioned. "It's called being serious! People and worlds are no joke! They have homes and families and you can't just do what you want without even thinking about them! They are the true heart of each world." "Well, I can't seal people now, can I?... Or can I?... I'll have to try that later..." Mizu was not amused and charged. "No, that's just what she wants!" Merlin could see that she was being baited, but Mizu wouldn't listen to her continuing to toy with them. As the small wielder charged towards the apprentice, Nequa made a quickstep behind her and chopped the back of her neck, causing her to pass out again. She stumbled for a moment before falling forward, being caught in the arm of the very assailant her knocked her out. Surprisingly, she was handled with care and tossed gently over her shoulder. "I do so love getting the bonus prizes!" she exclaimed. "Now, now, see here! You-You-You put down that child or I'll-" "Firagolem." Nequa spoke out and snapped her fingers which caused a giant fire golem to appear behind wart. Like the ice golem, it had a similar body shape, but was consumed in flames. Wart held tightly onto the sword, still trying to hold it upright. "Now YOU see here. I'm going to take the girl and sword. In exchange, you keep the boy, dog, and keykiddies. Unless you want the alternative." The golem took a step to advance towards the boy. Merlin examined his options carefully. No one was experienced enough to take her on. His magic was more towards the pursuit of knowledge than combat. He was prepared to raise his arms, but he knew he couldn't win this fight. At best he could have them recover in hopes that both could be retrieved at a later time. He lowered his hands from the casting standpoint. "Forgive me child," he whispered. "Compromise. Gotta love it." Nequa walked towards Wart and looked down at the sword. "Sword Please." Wart looked down at the sword and off to Merlin. He had never seen him look so worried, meaning he should fear this woman just as much. With a sad expression, he looked at the hilt one more time, before lifting with all his might to hand it over. "Your co-operation in this hostage situation was most gratifying. Five stars to you!" She tapped the tip of his nose with her finger and took the sword, watching the fire golem fade as he did so. "I look forward to the improvement!" she yelled back, walking through the corridor with sword and girl in hand.
I recall a few years back the they didn't want to return to TV, (Link) but it's nice to see they changed their mind. Hopefully they don't change the theme by too much. Update: They almost have half the money pledged now!
Rabies and mentalmen, we have just hit the 18 player mark, thus doubling last year's player tally! This of course means the grand prize winner will get either the Kingdom Key or $70 to spend on the KH merchandise of their choice! But don't feel like you need to stop there! All players are welcome to test their stuff, and their is still plenty of time to accept people. And who knows? Might even add a few digital prizes! (Or not, I don't know, I have to discuss stuff amongst the higher ups. I'm just the staff dog here) Keep the sign up train rolling!
~MISSION COMPLETE~ ~MISSION COMPLETE~ Cat leveled up! (19) Etrius leveled up! (20) All stats increased! Learned Cure! Learned Stopra! Learned Second Wind! Glen leveled up! (20) All stats increased! Learned Fira! Learned Stop! Learned Second Wind! Kaida leveled up! (17) Learned Cure! With the battle one, clouds of smoke dispersed from the doors in the form of tiny cloud-like heartless with bright yellow eyes. With the possessor heartless freed from the doors, the creatures that were part of the frame had now faded, revealing the same wooden doors they encountered before. The battle was most definitely not an illusion, but the way things had just transpired with the sudden calm almost made it seem so. Regardless, Rapunzel was on her bare feet and looking around to make sure everyone was okay. They were still a bit dazed and injured, so she quickly ran by them and tossed enough of her blonde hair so that strands would fall on each person. "Flower, gleam and glow, Let your power shine, Make the clock reverse, Bring back what once was mine. Heal what has been hurt, Change the Fates' design, Save what has been lost, Bring back what once was mine… What once was mine!" With the healing incantation, her hair glowed and as she had already demonstrated, healed any remaining or bruised injuries. Any ailments affecting the party were now removed. "Everyone alright?" she asked. Looking around, no one seemed to have been afflicted anymore, which was good news for her. Anything to keep this train moving. Her mother was in trouble and she still needed their help to defeat the masked boy. "Great!" she acknowledged, rushing to the door. Fearing any traps, she opened it with caution, but became quickly hesitant at the sound of her mother's voice. It was angry and hostile. Last time she had heard that tone was when Rapunzel asked to go see the floating lights. Her mother forbid it and sparked this whole adventure. And now, Rapunzel kept a big green eye in between the crack of the door to see what her mother was discussing with the boy. They were both on ground level, with Gothel looking unamused. "We had a deal!" she argued. "I still don't see what the issue is now. I take the girl, you keep the hair. Easy peasy." "You don't get it! Her hair's healing powers won't work if it's cut! the hair is useless to me unless it's attached. Why do you think I kept after her all this time?! Its the only way the incantation works!" Part of Rapunzel broke inside after hearing those words. The person she wanted so hard to please only kept her for her powers. The same powers she claimed other people were after. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tsk, tsk, that was just embarrassing." Nequa looked around past Gilgamesh, to all the recently fallen wielders. Stratos, Ananta, Kel, Beuce and even Goofy were all down on the floor, slowly recovering from combat. "I mean like... I'm embarrassed for you. You held up your swords and that 'I can totally take her,' and then I did stuff and you couldn't attack. And it was fun, but sad. It was fad." She walked along the bodies of each wielder slowly making her way back to Wart. She was about to pass Ananta, but hesitated. Last she saw, the girl was stabbed by her own shadow. One of Nequa's more favored attack. She crouched down to the fallen girl and tilted her head. "Speaking as a fellow girl, I know you're probably holding a grudge against me right now. Also speaking as a girl, I know it's not healthy to hold grudges. Especially after that travesty. Like, any items you used were just WASTED from that slaughter." Nequa was purposely trying to anger her. "Point being; sucking that bad sucks. So for this one time offer, I give you, little miss green apple hair a one time punch to my face!" She moved her chin to the left and gave her a window of opportunity.
Pretty much this. Will create a mass convo (2, if more than 20 sign up) and gather availability, skype names, the works. In short, you'll be contacted via KHV to set things up after the 13th.
Still have under 3 weeks remaining and already 13 players have registered after the first weekend. This pleases me... First post has been edited with all the posted entrants.
Problem resolved, Thread locked.
1 week left for submissions. So far I got 4. Please don't make @Ars Nova sad :/
Aye. 3 Weeks are to give an opportunity to sign up. This gives me about a week to people the matches and make the necessary requirements for questions as well as making more if there need be.
Sign ups end on the 13th, but the actual tournament wlll begin in late June/Early July. This gives me time to set up a few things.
