An idea I just had. Would anyone appreciate the ability to have certain battles with someone from another clan, that are not part of your five league battles, also count towards Versus Scores?
This would allow special RP battles, clan vs clan multiplayer matches, and the like to have a numerical effect on the RP.
A few points:
- They would count only towards Versus Scores, NOT Clan Scores or Individual Scores, so they would not affect any titles including High Clan and choosing the rule. They would count for clan rivalry.
- There would need to be some kind of limitation on quantity to avoid spamming clan scores. Perhaps a simple limit of 1 per warlock per month?
Thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea?

What are the verses scores used for? Just bragging rights that my clan is better then your clan? If there's nothing to gain except fame, then the only punishment for abuse we need is shame.
I'd say all we need is an official way to approve a versus match? Having both players declare it in the first round seems official enough to me, then the winner could post the results in a thread dedicated to recording extra verses matches in a similar format to the current results thread.

That was a nice parting shot, yeah.  |

I had just meant points for winning or losing the battle, but that's a good idea Dubber. Suppose there were 10 points awarded for winning or losing the battle, and 10 to the "best" RP as judged by some predetermined third party?

I like it, the 10 RP points could possibly be divided up... back to my example, pretty obviously Wastelin was in command of both battle & RP for a goodly while, but how would the turn about in RP commentary at the end be scored?
I think this would be the sticking point -- I think Wastelin & I are pretty much in agreement that my final parting shot brought us pretty close to parity in the RP (let me know otherwise if I'm overstating, Wastelin) but who would be the final arbiter of disagreements? This would be even more work for the Unraveller (or whomever is assigned this task)

What about this. Before the RP battle begins, it must be posted about here (presumably in character) and both parties must agree on a judge for the RP points. The judge, obviously, has to be willing to act as judge. But the judge can be anybody both players agree on.
Let's add the following tweak:
- Just as the battle can end in a tie, the judge can declare the RP part a tie, and give 0/0 points instead of +10/-10. This gives possible overall point results of +20/-20, +10/-10, and 0/0.
Sound good?

Any reason not to just let the Judge assign any score from -9 to +9 (and the opposite to the other)?
I like the cap on 9 as in our Jan league rule, 'cause then winning means no matter what you get points. But maybe that's just 'cause the Isle of Vermont is awesome...

I'm not too sure about how much value the "parting shot" should be worth though... I mean, you can technically say anything as there is no right of reply given. You could have just said: Oh man, it's just that old copy of Viz that xade brought when he came here - And it would have been just as valid without a reply...  |

Agreed. The parting shot should be weighted lower than the ongoing discussion - it is too easy for the person surrendering to win the role play otherwise.

So, the Isle is afraid of my parting shots, eh?  |

Since we plan on having you surrender to us often, I suppose so.  |

Surrender as in delivering a fatal double cause light wounds? Gladly.

Given how often that happens statistically, I'll take my chances.

So, back on topic...
It seems the way to go is that two people start a throw-down in character on the forums. A verbal (text) challenge is issued and the two parties agree on who will be the "witness or referee" to their fight. You can't prove you killed someone on the hell plane unless someone sees it.
They duel in game, RPing in the thread. +10 points for a win and the witness gives someone +0-9 points for an RP bonus. +1 is "ehh, I guess his RP was better but they both gave a good show" and +9 is "one guy was awesome and the other had almost nothing to say." The witness will post his RP bonus in the thread with the results of the duel. Sounds good?
Should we have a special thread for posting mid month Clan battle results?
