hey anyone that's level 10 wanna fight me cause i'm issueing an open challenge to anyone that is level 10 and will take up my challange

Just a heads up (like anyone will listen anyway, but still), the points system thing is pretty much defunct by now, just a third layer of icing in between the cake. Mostly it's just there so old farts like me (am I an old fart? Maybe just that stupid homeless guy who got fed once five years ago and won't leave, at best) can flash our supercool skills off to the younger members in hopes of getting them to do our evil chores like running scandal-inducing errands and washing the dishes. (The evil isn't in the chores, it's in the fact that we know you can't do it but we still make you do it anyway. ...Not to put anyone down. ...Welcome to the site, new guys!)

One day, if you stay for long enough maybe (please?), you'll also have 70 near-meaningless-but-cool action points (they're action points, right?) and a pimped-out-by-you profile to throw at an unsuspecting Shadow Serpents pledge (also not plugging my clan just now).

For now, just know that, in sparring matches, you can fight anyone you damn well please. Just, when drills are over, don't expect Overshields x4 + unlimited Jet Pack to work on that Wraith in campaign like it did in Firefight (fuck you and your Legendary, Bungie!).

Edit: Unless there's, like, this rule about how you'd still need to incorporate the points system into a sparring match... in which case I'd like you to disregard (mostly) everything I just said (that stuff about drills vs. reality, that holds true for everything, like hunting bears).

P.S. I just realized I haven't been here for the past few RPGs and dunno if you guys still hold the points system in high regards anymore, so really, yeah you should probably just find another 10-point guy, just to be safe.

The points system has nothing to do with anything; disregard it.

Well, there you go.

You ever think we'll ever actually use it again (if we ever did; I'm pretty sure I've only used it once)?

It's been used so inconsistently over the years that I can't even remember what -if anything- we originally decided on.

i suppose so but is there anyone that is my level that wants to do a sparring match or whatever it is with me so i can get a feel for how to do it?

I'm new as well but i'm willing to test this out just be warned i'm a queen MUAHAHAHAHA

Well for anyone unclear on the Rules for Sparring or RPGS in general read this as it is taken directly from the rules. Which nobody reads....


RPGs



RPGs are stories written collectively by the site members with the characters of those members being physically involved in the storylines.


Members are able to fight & kill each other during the RPGs, although you must wait until you have made at least 5 posts in battle before attempting to kill another participant, meaning 6 posts in total.


Cheating in RPGs, such as making your character unrealistically strong, or altering the storyline in unfeasible ways will not be tolerated, & your posts will be removed in cases like this.


Setting up a storyline & tense beginning is crucial to all RPGs, do not begin to fight or attempt to kill other members until at least after the first 4-5 pages.


Members are only permitted to play as an alien, predator, or marine (as well as synthetics), this includes several alien variations, such as facehuggers, chestbursters, predaliens & "runners".


Ignoring damage dealt to your character may result in the deletion of your posts.


Newer members or ones with a lower rank should feasibly not be able to defeat higher ranking members. The stats themselves are loosely used in rpg's. A members overall rank is what is important. (i.e- a veteran member has a rank of 60 while a newborn member is only at 10.)


Only weapons & abilities seen in the films are to be used, this includes:

Predator weapons: Wristblades, combistick, netgun, speargun, plasmacaster, dagger, glave, shortsword, shuriken, smartdisc, energy flechette, serrated whip, bandolier mines. The medicomp is to be used only once per RPG, the self destruct is also allowed, but must be worked into the story (eg. blowing up several other members unfairly is forbidden, unless in the case of a finale).

Marine weapons: Knife, pistol, shotgun, pulse rifle, smartgun, minigun, grenade launcher, flamethrower.

Alright seems simple enough, I guess that excludes my character unless it falls into a similar category as an alien

"Which nobody reads...."

I resent that. I've skimmed through half of it at least once when I first got here.

I'd like to request a fight. Doesn't matter with who, I just need to get the old RPG skills back up to date.

waralien i will accept your request with honor for i ma a proud yuatja warrior

I'm a little tense and wanna let of some steam. Any high ranked vets looking for a one-on-one match?
