Free flowing rules.

[Ishima]

All out war and chaos!(look to the left under my avatar)

[ZackTarisamato]

Hey aren't free flowing and chaos almost the same not, to many rules, typeing fast is key is whats the difference?

[Ishima]

Chaos no rules no limits (supernatural is to far nonethless) nature's limits MUST be applied though.

[ZackTarisamato]

Yeah but the only two ways they are different (besides realy small stuff ) I can think of would be grid based (chaos with grid ain't gonna happen) and teams. If that's the only major difference then wouldnt it be easier to do them both in the same subject and just say if its free for all or tag teamwhen you start one? If there are other major differences I would like to know, but I really cant think of any.

[Ishima]

You are right. But team and one v one difffer in that freeflowing would be a litle hard on the mod because keeping them seperate would get ver hard very fast.

[ZackTarisamato]

Yes but it says "not too many restrictions"so they are almost the same.

[Ishima]

;Damn. You are right again. Good job.

[Altron]

Freeflowing is still turn based, but not too many movement restrictions or combat restrictions. Here's a quick example:
---
Ain punched the throttle on his Gundam, rocketing himself with awful speed towards the enemy. Pulling out his beam saber, he also let a volley of lance darts fly.

From here, he jumped high in the air, and took a swift slice.
---
Basically you just let the mod decide the correct damage your attack does to your enemy. The enemy acts accordingly to your post, as well as the moderator's orders.

[ZackTarisamato]

Ok thanks for clearing that up for me.

freeflowing is the best balanced mix of chaos and rules.

there are faults to both of them.

in chaos, its hte fastest and most arrogant typer.
__________
EX:

the gundam fly over to the cgue
sticks the beam rifle straight into cockpit
shoots a round
wins the battle
cgue dodges
__________

notice how the gundam pilot was a faster typer, and allhe did was type in that he flew over and shot it. the Cgue typer didnt have a chance to get away or anything. its not in any sort of order, and if oen were to edit the post that would be ludicrous.


but the rules type would only allow certain attacks and would not allow creative original moves that would only work in certain situations.

EX:
_________
gundam fires 1 round at Cgue
Cgue dodges to the right
gundam draws knife
Cgue raised machine gun
gundam flys forward
Cgue fires at oncoming Gundam
Bullets bounce off of invulnerable gundam
Gundam stabs Cgue
Cgue loses 999 HP
Cgue blows up
_______________

the first thing you notice is that this is boring. duh, ther is no room for creativity. plus the Cgue pilot would allready know that the gundam is invulnerable becuase of his armor and would not fire directly at the gundam. one plans of action would be to hit the ground and make a smokescreen, then fly around the gundam, and hit vulnerable spots like the joints, or eyes, or hands. hey, random shooting would have been more effective in this case.


so the freeflowing wold be the best, where dialogue can be added in at anytime, usually during the opponents move, and then the two will take turns attacking, and it may not be every other turn. little actions like scanning dont take up a turn, but movement usually does, unless its peeking around a corner, etc.


because of these reason,s there is absolutelly no reason why we shoudl have a battle system that is faulted, and since the two ( chaos, rules) are polar to each other, the compromise is the best way out: the freeflowing style

[Altron]

Amen to that. Anyway, just read the other thread I posted about how to get better at freeflow battling.

[Enoch]

ok, since im making a program for the battles, i need to get stats for every character who is going to participate in them.

leave the stats for the mobile sits up to me. i should have mailed you guys allready about that.

there are 5 stats dealing with your characters

Fighting: your ability to fight. Duh. this will focus mainly on the attacks.

Blocking. your ability to block. this qil focus mainly on defence.

Reflexes: how fast you react to things. this stats will go into many things, so its kind of important.

Swordsmanship: how good you are with a sword, inside and outside of the mobile suit

marksmanship: the same , only with guns


Fighting
Blocking
Reflexes
Swordsmanship
Marksmanship


For rookies, the total is 500, and for Novices it is 750, Ace is 1000.

most of you are rookies, with a few novices.
if your too stupid to figure this out then you can just ask me to do it, and ill make the stats for you. since im near being done, we might post these stats later somewhere.

[Ishima]

when u say"aces' do u mean advanced or pilots with all 4 badges?
