Account Creation

you are only allowed to have one account. So please try not to have multiple accounts. If you have an extreme case then ask one of the mods. But beyond that only one account is allowed.

[AG]

Signature Limitaions

Signature widths cannot be any wider than 533 pixels. The height doesn't matter, but please make sure that you respect the new size limit for width.

MISSIONS

You can take all the missions in the world as long as they are one after the other. You cannot do two missions at the same time because your character can't be in two places at once. The only exception is if the second simultaneous mission you are doing is in a different time period e.g. in your character's past, before he got involved in the current plot. Only two people have actually done that sort of thing and that was Kurt Kyleson and myself.

When you are doing a mission, please make an attempt to make the mission interesting in some way and don't make it too easy for yourself, especially when it involves other people.

Lightsaber Construction

When you build a lightsaber, these are the guidelines you should follow. You have to fill these sections up like in the sign up section.

Wielder:
Blade Name:
Description of Weapon:
Color:

As long as you don't make anything cheap, your lightsaber will be accepted. It is basically a sign up for you lightsaber just like your character.

For Jedi, you cannot build your lightsaber until you've gone through the tutorial, but if you want to skip the tutorial, then you can go ahead and create your lightsaber straight away.

For those who are about to build a lightsaber, you must go to Illum first and obtain your crystals. There is nothing back-breaking about that. All you need to do is go into the cave, find a crystal, take it and build the friggin' weapon . If you want to build 2 lightsabers, you need 4 crystals. If you want 1 saber, its 2 crystals.

Alternate Battle System

For those of us who like this system...and who don't want a reffed match...OR can't be fair about their battles....Here's the alternate system.

Given the creator of this system (many million thanks to Masochist for putting in a lot of time and effort into this) has complained how people found this system very complex and looked down upon, this is only going to be considered an alternate battle system even though I suggest to every one of you to use this system because it is much better than the reffed one.

This system doesn't NEED any refs, but can still have them. This is because the points are already designated. It can be played by a minimum of two people. The good thing (I think) about this system is that everyone is equal, but not balanced (you'll see what I mean soon enough).

Rules

Objectives: The objective of this game is to get 100 points before your opponent (kinda like darts). And no, the person who goes first has no advantage. Each player MUST have the same number of turns. At the end of each round, the first player or the ref if there ever will be one makes an OOC post, counting both players' points. There are different actions you do to earn points, all of which will be explained below.

Animation: Here's another beauty of this system - You don't have to animate everything. You can basically complete a turn in less than 3 words. However, animating your actions awards ten points per turn. Animation is basically what you do in orthodox fighting (as Vicious would put it) and just type up your attack and defense.

Range and moving: There are two ranges - short and long. All battles start out at long range. In order to change the range, you must move before or after you attack. Certain character types have different advantages at certain ranges, so use range to your advantage. Also, use common sense when referring to ranged attacks. If you're at long range, swinging your lightsaber will not hit your opponent. The first person to post in a battle gets to change the range in the first post.

Blocking: This is the only real stat there is. Each character has 5 block points. Blocking an attack awards no points to anyone.

Attacks: Only one type of attack can be done in one turn. There are four types of attacks that can be used in each turn - fast, strong, normal, and signature. Attacks can be animated into anything from saber slashes to force usage.

Normal Attacks: Only 2 can be used in one turn. Takes away 1 BP per attack (if blocked) and awards 10 points if not blocked.

Fast attacks: 2 can be done in one turn. Takes 1 block point per attack (if blocked), and awards 5 points if not blocked. CANNOT BE USED BY BALANCED CHARACTERS.

Strong attacks: Only 2 can be done in one turn. Takes away 1.5 block point per attack (if blocked) and awards 10 points if not blocked. CANNOT BE USED BY SPEED OR BALANCED CHARACTERS.



Special attacks: Can only be done when awarded 40 points and they MUST be animated. Only 1 can be done in one Match. Takes away 4 block points (if blocked, at least 4 BP points are required to block a special; if you have 3.5, you take the full blast so you are advised to block it if you want to add 10 points to you opponent's score) and awards 30 points if not blocked (no bonus ten points are given for the animation). You need to earn at least 40 points in order to use it and you can only use it once in one match.

Guard breaks: If your opponent's block points ever reach 0, you have successfully broken their guard and are awarded with 10 points. Your opponent's block points go back to 5 after they reach 0. If for example you have 1 BP left and the last attack of your opponent takes away 1 BP, the opponent only gets the ten points of the guard break. If it would take 1.5 BP, then if you block it, the opponent gets the ten points of the guard break and the points the attack awards with it.
