AA school sport

[Tristan Knightrhode]

ok...i know this was brought up somewhere but i have no fuckin clue what thread it was so here goes: (ignore most of the back story...im bored)

I was talking to Roy and he ran out of things to post in this thread of ours. So I said: Why dont you have Roy train with Tristan. He didn't like the idea so then I said "Do orcs play a sport." As the thread has orcs (dominic deegan orcs...not lord of the rings orcs). So he said slaughter ball, a sport from the web comic dominic deegan.

Now the sport was never played in the comic, but we think it a combination of football, rugby, and blitz ball. More or less: kill the man with the ball with magic. We're still working out the rules and stuff for the thread, but this could be the school sport. What do you guys think?

[Tristan Knightrhode]

heres what i got so far, the whole thing will be written up eventually.

5 people per team.
one goalie.
one defender.
two centers.
one forward.

it would involve magic and hand to hand combat to get the ball and get it into the goal. it'd be ground based, so think blitzball on a football field. round goal a good eight feet in the air. almost no rules (foul wise), any one can go any where on the feild, not advised but w/e.

Rules:

NO WEAPONS!!: Self explanitory
No death: self explanitory (you can knock em out but dont kill em)
Weaker spells only: We're not trying to KILL each other so no extremely powerful spells.
No summons or familiars: self explanitory again.
Time: Six rounds of three minutes (we'll find away to break that down into/in the posts.)
Boundary rule: the ONLY limitor on where you can go (aside from out of bounds), no one but the goalie can go within six feet of the goal ring.


The ball would be just that, a ball slightly smaller than a soccor ball, a volley ball of sorts. use sheild spells, thrust spells flight, this that the other thing to get the ball through the ring and/or stop it from getting in the ring. You can hold it in your hands, kick it, dribble it, do what ever you want with it.

The only refs would be at the goal posts to make sure it actually went through, and ones at the side lines to judge if someone went out of bounds. There are NO plays, its like soccor in that respect. There would be a jump for the ball like basket ball, thrown into the air by magic. This would occur after every goal and the start of the game, no other time. One of the centers would be the one jumping.


This is a rough sheet, critsism is welcome and needed.

That looks SO fun. But considering time-wise, I'd say just maybe three posts allowed from each person per round or something. I dunno. YOU figure it out.

[Junpei]

Eh, sounds good in theory, but requires twelve people to a thrad to play. To many people in a thread does slow it down considerably.

I like it though... good way to train...

true enough but where do you see twelve? the refs would be npcs.

[Nanashi]

Sounds like fun. Much fun.



Would my scrolls count as weapons? Obviously I wouldn't be allowed my sword, but it would be fun to make someone heading for the goal run straight into a rock wall...

that would have to be decided. Technically you cant attack with the scroll itself so maybe just your fire scroll or what ever ones can be used to attack would be dissalowed.

[Nanashi]

Let's see...

Fire is purely offensive. Not allowed

Water... Eh, if I want it to, it can be offensive, but mostly defensive. Probably allowed, since the offense would be mild.

Earth should be alright, as long as I don't use part two...

Wind? Just as long as I don't use wind blade...

Metal... Well, I don't really see any use for it, and the part two would REALLY not be allowed, so I can't say that I care if that one's allowed or not.

Wood, again, just as long as I don't go crazy with the part two, should be fine.

So all of the scrolls (Except fire) would probably have to have limits placed on them, but would be allowed.



But another thing. If the scrolls aren't allowed, then without his scrolls and sword, Nanashi cannot use ANY of his verbal spells, I believe, except for sword ignition on hands and such. I don't think a scroll mage should be denied his scrolls...

[Junpei]

Hehe, Junpei could teleport all over the field and just make the ball appear in front of the hoop, then blast it threw with a quick nether fire burst behind it. xD

Also, I was counting Refs, teachers I would assume....

[Nanashi]

O.O

*Is immagining Winklewood as a ref.*



I'll let you interprite that as you will...

as for it being purely offensive thats fine..its a spell. unless you can physically attack with the scroll itself (aside from bashing someone upside the head with it) its fine. i read one of your spells quickly and it sounded like you attacked with the scroll itself not the fire it produced (dont ask me how i got that out of it.) so all your scrolls would be allowed as i can see it.

EDIT: the refs would probably be NPCs >.> staff would only step in, controlling one, if they saw a rule violation <.< otherwise every thing would be good >_<

[Nanashi]

You may have gotten that idea because the fire the scroll produces is directly on the scroll (The scroll itself isn't burning, otherwise I wouldn't have a fire scroll any more), and I use Wrap to do evil stuff with the fire scroll.

But yeah, unless I'm whacking someone with the rolled up scroll, I'm not attacking with the scroll itself, only the stuff it produces.

then they dont count as weapons.

[Tristan Knightrhode]

This is the first written draft that i gave in to auroth: (kinda late i know)

Purpose: Use magic and hand to hand combat to get the ball and get it into the goal to gain points until time runs out.

5 people per team.
one goalie.
one defender.
two centers.
one forward.



Restrictions:

NO WEAPONS!!: Self explanitory
No death: self explanitory (you can knock em out but dont kill em)
Weaker spells only: We're not trying to KILL each other so no extremely powerful spells.
No summons or familiars: self explanitory again.(If summons are your only magic...your fucked.)
Boundary rule: the ONLY limiter on where you can go (aside from out of bounds), no one but the goalie can go within six feet of the goal ring.

Feild:

50x100 yard grass field. one line running down the middle width wise with a large circle in the center, about 4 yards in diameter. A, stationary, floating goal ring at each end of the feild, eight feet in diameter. Around the goal ring, on the ground, would be an oval ring indicating a six foot boundary in which only the goalie of that goal can go. A 6x10 foot stationary platform would be placed in front of each goal ring (6 feet infront of its base) for the goalies to stand on without needing to sustain flight.

Rules:
Timing, Six rounds of three minutes (we'll find away to break that down into/in the posts.)
No one has to stay on their given position but its recomended they stay in the area, specific positions must be held for the start of the game, then you can go any where permited by the restrictions.

The defenders are initially positioned five yards infront of the goal ring boundary line, and three yards to either side. Centers are placed one yard from the center line on their respective sides, and half way between the center ring and the boundary line, that being 10.5 yards from the boundary line. Forwards initial positions are in the center ring, almost dead center on their respective sides of the feild, similar to a basketball throw up. Magic propels the white and dark blue ball from six feet in the air to about fifteen feet in the air and the two forwards jump for it when it comes back down.

From there the game takes the look of soccor, there are no plays and game play doesnt stop until there is a goal made, in which case the throw up takes place once again, with all players in their perspective positions. Once the ball is in play, players can attack each other as they want, hand to hand combat, spells, any thing within the boundaries of the restrictions.

Goals are made by simply passing the ball through the opponents goal ring and each goal is worth two points. If the ball goes out of bounds, one of the players simply tosses it back in to one of his teammates and the game resumes.

Game summary:
The ball would be just that, a ball slightly smaller than a soccor ball, a volley ball of sorts. use sheild spells, thrust spells, flight, this that the other thing to get the ball through the ring and/or stop it from getting in the ring. You can hold it in your hands, kick it, dribble it, do what ever you want with it.

The only refs would be at the goal posts to make sure it actually went through, and ones at the side lines to judge if someone went out of bounds. There are NO plays, its like soccor in that respect. There would be a jump for the ball like basket ball, thrown into the air by magic. This would occur after every goal and the start of the game, no other time. The forwards of each team would be the one jumping.
