The Masters

**Anomaly** · 10-16-2006, 07:05 AM

An entry battle? I'm not sure I'm following. you know that The Master that is accepted into The Masters is the person behind the character, not the characters themselves, correct?

Though if you want to fight me again, I've no problem facing an opponent that has two characters at their disposal, but any character you deem fit to use within The Masters is acceptable.

Oh yeah, I knew that already. Sorry, what I meant by that was I'd just like to make it official. Like for stories sake. Instead of just saying, 'yeah, they're here now,' I want to have a legitimate storyline behind all of my characters. Hahah, and yes, that means I wish to 2-on-2 duel you .

**Anomaly** · 10-16-2006, 09:13 PM

Hmm...well, alright, it could be fun. I hope you don't mind if I set up the thread.

I'd also like to take this oppertunity to welcome Dante Fatima, the latest addition to The Masters. He put up a fair fight...I believe he'll be a great asset to us.

**Zardoch** · 10-16-2006, 09:33 PM

Well, I should probably post in here since I'm not super active, XD. But yeah anyway, welcome Dante (whenever you check the forums

). Let's hope TM grows to a greater extent.

On another note, excluding the battle Anomaly do you want me to do something else? Like make some more TM sigs, wallpaper, whatever?

**Anomaly** · 10-16-2006, 09:36 PM

Yes actually, that would be most appreciated Griffith. You do spectacular work and I'd like to see more of it.

**Zardoch** · 10-16-2006, 09:39 PM

Well, I'd definitely like to do something with the character you have in your avatar. If you have a larger picture of him please send it to me and I'll get to work.

**Slim Perfect** · 10-17-2006, 07:29 PM

Actually, Anomaly, a thought just crossed my mind. As you know, I was looking for a rank up earlier, and my hopes for that were shot down miserably. Hahah... Maybe a little too much drama in that sentence but you know what I mean. Anyways, I was thinking maybe our two-on-two battle could also constitute a rank-up for me. I mean, obviously there is little chance of me emerging victorious, however, just in case... It would actually give me more drive, you know what I mean? Instead of just battling for story's sake I'd be able to come out of it with a little extra as well. Of course, my characters being accepted DOES NOT necessarily have to mean that I get a rank-up. Just a suggestion.

**GrimmJaw** · 10-17-2006, 07:36 PM

Thank you for your gracious welcome. I enjoyed the fight with Anomaly quite a bit, and I hope to experience more like it. Hopefully later this week, one of the higher-ups could give me a bit o' training?

**Anomaly** · 10-17-2006, 08:13 PM

To Griffith: Certainly. I have some more work by the same artist that I may send your way. A graphicl artist is always in need of solid material to work with.

To Slim: That would be fine, though it would put more stress on you to win. If you think you can manage a victory, we'll see what we can do.

To Fatima: Yes, I would hope that on of the older Masters would be willing to take you under their wing. You're good, but everyone can do with a little practise, to sharpen their skills.

**Slim Perfect** · 10-17-2006, 08:24 PM

Well, I will definately try my very best. I do not expect to win, but I do not expect to lose. let's have us some fun.

**LocoColt04** · 10-17-2006, 11:40 PM

To Anomaly and Slim: I look forward to reading your thread. It will, essentially, be a preview of what people can expect to be doing in the next Tournament of Arms. When the end of the month rolls around, don't be surprised if I'm back in that information thread linking to your battle. I hope the two of you really put a lot of effort into it and make a tournament-calibur battle out of it. While I'm not suddenly suggesting you stop having fun with it and make it into some overly serious thing, I am interested all the same to see what you can come up with.

It will be an excellent example, as well as give some of the newer writers an idea of just what kind of competition they'll be up against.

edit:
Well, I take that back. It looks like Anomaly is only controlling one character rather than two. Okay, so it will be a half-example instead. Slim will be managing two characters, which was the point I was making. Hmm. Eh, whatever.

**Dark One** · 10-18-2006, 05:41 AM

Yes it should be a great fight. I well be reading it.

Slim- It took me a min to see what you where trying to say as well. The best of luck to you.

Thanks

**Lucid** · 10-18-2006, 01:50 PM

I know I don't have internet access all the time anymore like I used to, but I've been dying to RP...

Are there any plans to start up another story RP? I know the modern-day mutant one kinda died, but I'd really prefer a more Dragonlance fantasy type RP.

I really miss hanging out more with you guys...
XOXOXOXOXO

I hate that my presence here is only little more than a fleeting shadow now.

Yes, I would like to see you on too..I hope that you are doing well there.

It's more than mine. Sigh.

Yes, I'm back. Well, not exactly back, it's more of a case of the uni network working properly, and me not having any research/assignments to do. I'm sorry I have been somewhat absent over the last couple of months. In other news, 'BD' and I *finally* finished a battle the other day. After literally years of battles lasting only a few posts, either because one of us couldn't get online to finish it, or the forums vanishing... Well, we finally did it. Yokatta.

Other than that, I'm feeling a little restless. Anyone care for a short sparring session? Or a rank-battle perhaps...

**Deicide** · 10-19-2006, 01:50 AM

Actually, not sure if I'm allowed/supposed to reveal it, but Anomaly has an RP in the works right now, a horror based one (think 'Mad Jack's' handiwork, for those of you that know what I mean) but I don't know how serious he is about it or when he might actually post it up. I was tempted to polish that FFIX-2 RP of mine up and post it here, but, eh, not sure it'd work. That, and someone dragged me into a fight so that kind of ties me up for now.

I'm around though, mostly lurking.. It's a bad habbit.

:..2-2-7..:

**Anomaly** · 10-19-2006, 07:10 AM

To Colt - Sorry about that. I was originally going to use Anomaly and Fou-Lu, but that wouldn't be that fair (or possible, plot-wise). Getting Lady Kuja to dust off one of her characters for a friendly rumble seemed too good an opertunity to pass up.

To Trap Meridon - I miss you hanging out with us as well. It's just not the same really without your pleasantly dark personality hovering around.

But you will be pleased that I AM in the planning phase for a Masters Sponsered story RP for this Halloween. Sorry it won't be fantasy based, but oyu may be pleased ot learn it will instead be horror based...based off a classic horror movie in fact. (well, the original had Vincent Price anyways, which is classic enough for me)

Well, we can just wait and see. It would be nice to finally d Lady Kuja's FFIX-2 RP properly.

To Nyarlathotep - Well there are two new members that may be looking for a rank up. I know Fatima was wanting someone to take him under their wing. Then if Mage ever shows back up, I know he was aching for a rank up for all of ten minutes

If you don't mind sparring with him that is.

An RP sounds good. I have not been in one for a long time.

Anomaly- Just to make sure is Experiment_227 in the masters. Well I also would like another battle but I can wait in line eith the others. FOr now I fine where I'm at.

**GrimmJaw** · 10-19-2006, 11:20 AM

Hey, Dark, If you wanna go a few rounds, I'm up for it. I have nothing better to do but slash away at someone.

**Dark One** · 10-19-2006, 11:45 AM

That sounds great to me. I well not realy be able to get into it for a day or two more. Waiting on my laptop to come in but I up fore it. How well start it. If I do it well as I have said be a day or two. So sure.

**GrimmJaw** · 10-19-2006, 12:01 PM

Alrighteh, you can start it up. I don't mind waiting a few days. I wish you luck.

(you're gonna need it!) >.>

**Dark One** · 10-19-2006, 12:04 PM

Same to you.

O Also Just to tell you I have joined Rpcentel to see how good the RPs there are.

Can I do that tho? I mean, Fatima and I are technically the same rank.

A fight with Mage wouldn't count as a rank-up for *him* tho, because he's already a higher rank than I am. If he, however, wants to spar with me, then I would be more than happy to accept. Well, that is, if no-one else wants to spar with me. (Sorry Mage, I couldn't help it

. You know how it is.)

**Anomaly** · 10-19-2006, 07:43 PM

Nah, a ranking battle where both members are the same rank is acceptable. All you'd be doing, essentially, is proving yourself superior to a fighter of the same rank. Since I don't believe in demotion, aside from in instances of punishment, this would count the same as proving yourself better than the rank and thus you owuld rank up.

Challenging someone beneath your rank is where things start counting less.

And yes Dark One, 227 is a Master. In fact she is a leading member of the Godhand, my second in command, and personal bodyguard.

**GrimmJaw** · 10-19-2006, 08:42 PM

Sweet, I'll take him on for a ranking match. Set it up and I'm there, sword in hand ready to crack a few bones. ^_^.

Also, Anomaly, one of the new members, Lord Storm Bryce happens to be a pretty good Rp'er. >.> Just dropping a suggestion just in case he has an urge to join The Masters.

Heh, no need for an apology. I am glad to see, however, that I was right about the initial premise of the thread prior to you changing your mind about the setup. I was starting to think I had gone crazy. All the same, I probably will still use your thread as an example and say something more intelligent than what's about to come out though still to the tune of: "In rounds One and Four, you will be doing what Slim is doing, taking on both characters at once in a single post."

The only possible issue I could see using your thread as an example is that it's not necessarily a "perfect" example of a 2v2 with only two writers. Ideally, both characters would attack in every post. There would be a part one with an attack phase and a "meanwhile..." part two with an attack phase. And of course, in the case of a team attack, it would all be one flowing phase...

...but I digress. Once again I'm talking about the TOA in your thread, and for that, I apologize. I just happened to be brainstorming and got carried away. Plus, at least it's here for me to look back on now in case I forget.

You're eager. I like that.

Anomaly, are there any specific rules regarding rank-up matches I should be made aware of, or shall I just go and make a thread?

**Zardoch** · 10-20-2006, 02:38 AM

Alrights! Made a wallpaper (800x600) for The Masters! You will love this!

O.O You just earned yourself about 500 respect points with that one. That was pretty badass. *Goes to look at it again.* Yup, badass no doubt.
