Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'am in biggrin idea

I saw the trade, but it was empty. Try again.

Only need one more person, then I can set up some battle threads!

Yes, that's correct.

Alright, we finally got eight participants! Registration is now closed. Sorry to anyone who might have wanted to enter; maybe you can try next time around.

So here's how this is going to work: I will randomly determine who faces off against whom. Then I will set up four threads in the contest forum, one thread for each of the opening battles. After that, I will send a PM to each participant, letting them know their presence is requested (I will also make a notice here, in the event someone's PMs are turned off or something). Everyone will have a grace period of one week before they need to get in here and start fighting. Of course, they can start before then if they choose. If a combatant has not started fighting after the grace period is over, that combatant will be considered to have forfeit, just like Rule 5 says.

I will be keeping the official tally of HP, and I'll edit the current totals after each attack in the combatant's post, just like the example battle shows. However, each combatant is also encouraged to keep track of HP in their own way, in case several attacks go by before I get to it.

That's fine, but like I said, I'm keeping the official tally. Notice that you rolled a 20 for accuracy on one move. That counts as a miss, not half damage.
