The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I got this idea from rewatching the world tournament storylines in the Dragonball trilogy:

Set in an somewhat AU, the Great Valley and Mysterious Beyond inhabitants would throw a martial arts tournament with the prize being...(I'll need some help coming up with ideas for the prize..) There are two divisions: the kid's division and the adult's division.

The rules of the tournament are no injuring your opponent in a way that could hurt them permanently (So sharpteeth can participate) or killing them obviously.

Is anyone interested in this idea? And if so, who would you want to control?

GVG-Cera, Longtail, Grandpa Longeck
Starfallraptor-Dante, Virgil
Noname-(Please say who you want to control.)

I'm not going to join but I'll offer logistical support.

First off, you may want to clarify some things:

1.) Are bouts, species segregated? (Like a Karate tournament - Longnecks fight only Longnecks, etc) or is it not species segregated? (Like a mixed martial arts fights - Fast-Runner can fight a Swimmer)

2.) Are there armed combat divisions? (staff and stick fighting and the like?)

3.) Are there specific disciplines that the dinosaurs have to choose? (Like striking only, grappling only, no use of tails, etc.)

I'll also be playing Grandpa Longneck, my OC Longtail and Cera if that's okay.

1. Nope, there's no species segregation

2.  Armed combat divisions are not in this, only a dinosaur's natural strength.

3. There really aren't any specific disciplines other than the 2 I mentioned in my original post.

Well, well.  A fight.  Dante's sure not passing this up.  Virgil won't either.  Count us in.
