How'd You Like Those Arenas?

Which environments do you think are working well within the RP Tournament. Are there any which you don't like? Would you like to suggest some arenas for the judges to use?

I'm personally enjoying fighting in the shopping mall, gives me a chance to use some slack jawed passers by to give some snippets of commentary on the match as well as some banter for Ace to respond to.

I also have a couple of ideas for new arenas. Whether these are good or bad doesn't matter, I think they might at least be a laugh:

Cyberspace: What happens when you get sucked into your modem? Competitors will have to duke it out amongst Internet Pop Ups, Online Frauds, and chunks of Spam floating around. Also, viruses may appear at anytime and try to eat the competitors.

Forest: Dense trees, plenty of undergrowth and places to hide. Perfect for combat. Be wary of sleeping bears and pit traps.

Marshland: Nearly everything is under a thick layer of sludge. Players will have to wade excrutiatingly slowly towards each other, or swing across on the overhead vines.

Airship: Fighting on the deck of a giant airship, thousands of feet in the air. A fall means instant death, and the rushing wind should really test the opponents.

Cornelius Body Pit: Competitors will start standing on top of the lumpy remains of a thousand rotting Cornelius clones. Not only does the pit smell bad and is rife disease, but you never know when a zombie badger, previously feasting on the Cornelius Kibbles, may attack.

The suburban environment is fun. At the begining of the match, it looks like your typical suburban environment. By the end of the match, it looks like the firey remains of what was once earth before what could best be described as the apocalypse. I like your ideas for Arenas. We should hold a competition to see which ones get used next year Wink

Personally, the airship sounds like a good idea. I could see Ace Addman and some evil villian duking it out in some Jule Verne-ish steampunk environment. I like!

Add your stomach addman. It were the fighters are shrunk to a small size, you eat them but no chewing. Thy fight while avoiding the stomach acids.

That's actually quite an amusing idea TROT. Contestants would have to balance above a sea of stomach acid using various items which happen to be floating around in my digestive tract. They'd probably find a lot of stuff in there that has gone missing from the Corrupted Cave, such as Fort's important files, Net's copies of PlayDemon Wink

and the EC Cave's Self Destruct Bomb.

Of course, this would only be a simulation of my stomach. We can't have people bursting out of me Alien stylee now can we?......Can we?

More arena ideas:

Awesomer Than Life: An artificial reality machine which grants the users their wildest dreams. Whether that be a new porsche, or a deadly ray gun to smite your enemies. Of course, simply wishing your enemies to die wouldn't work, but nothing's to stop you conjuring up the odd tank here and there.

Heaven: Battle on god's doorstep. Be careful not to fall through the clouds or annoy the local angels. Perhaps try and lull your opponent to sleep with some soothing harp melodies.

Hell: Fire, brimstone, and little men in red pyjamas sticking pitchforks up your rear.

Random Arena: The arena changes every four posts, which will mean that a person with a particular tactical advantage on a certain arena may suddenly have that flipped to a disadvantage i.e. fire arena suddenly changes to ice.

Rock Concert/Mosh Pit: Players will have to push their way through crowds of rowdy fans as they try to face off, all the time being careful not to become crushed and trampled.

Meadow: A plain, open arena with extra long grass and flowers for combatants to hide amongst and the odd tree here and there. The environement itself offers little danger, unless they have bad hayfever.

The Office: A multistorey corporation complete with desks, paperwork, copy machines and hot coffee. Players can hide in elevators, behind desks, or in the air vents. If anyone uses fire abilities, the sprinklers would be sure to go off.

Conveyor Belt: Contestants are placed on a giant conveyer belt, at the end of which is a blast furnace/crusher. They'll have to try and push their opponent towards the end, whilst avoiding the general items that have been placed on the conveyor ready for destruction.

Explosive Colleseum: A normal, high walled ring, but the walls and ceiling and covered with explosive charges. Knock your opponents into these for extra damage.

but Embri's wings might taste like cookie dough

Flea Circus: Can you avoid the giant Ringmaster while fighting? Hide in the parade, jump the trapeez, and avoid getting a wire tied around you all while fighting to the death.

Huh? Where did THAT come from? *Tastes own feathers cautiously.* Nope, they don't taste like cookie dough. More like cinnamon.

*takes a grater to Embri's wings*

I love hot cocoa....

*Trace rubs a candy sponge on Embri's wings, puts the sponge on Embri's head, last puts liquid pocky on Embri's head.*

Trace: DP...... COME HERE! Free unicorn head with cinnamon, a candy sponge, and last but not least..... liquid pocky pured all over her head! Come and get it. Only one Yen

...for EMBRI!

Mmm....

*gnaws on Embri's head while watching for DP*

Embri · Black Spider Blackstar Native Old Friend Posts: 2172

Hey! HEY! I'M not edible! Cut that out, Trace! *Embri growls and snaps her jaws at Trace's hands.*

I NEED those feathers to fly, dammit! Go get your own food somewhere else!

Not you too, Kat! Leggo! Contestant abuse! JUDGES! Get Kat back under CONTROL!~ FOUL! PENALTY!

*Embri shakes her head back and forth, trying to dislodge Kat.*

Jent · Red Belt Old Friend Oblivion Knight Posts: 1049

*Trace backs away abit, pulls a lever, and a vat of liquid pocky comes down on Kat and Embri.*

Trace: Embri, DP is a judge. DP, FREE EMBRI HEAD!

*Kat pauses as Embri shout for a judge*

"I'm a judge. You need something? I suppose I could get Sensei (AKA DP) for you, but then he'd see the liquid pocky..."

*frantically eats the liquid pocky off herself before DP comes*

Right I can just see someone blasting a hole in the side of Addman's stomach... definitely simulate that.

I've got one that I can't beleive no one's thought of.

Battlefeild: Lined with trenches, barbed wire, Nazis, and Allied soldiers, you have more to worry about than your opponents. Bullets whiz past contestants en route to their targets, and bombs are dropped on the feild continuosly. Beware of land mines.
