We're taking this world back.
Ignore this if you aren't a roleplayer.

If you are, I am offering you my hand of friendship. Old enemies and new friends alike, I offer you the chance to join my new organization:

The Fellpowers.

I got the idea a long while ago- after I had made the oath not to fight again until the rules were even or fairness had come back to gaia. However a man challenged me to a duel and I decided to make a point. I explained to him that his character was too powerful for my liking, and that the match would be drastically uneven. I proposed that we fight with a person of slightly above average human strength, and only one power, one with equal or less raw kinetic power then a fireball. That meant no fiery infernos, no matter manipulations, cellular control or any of that whoo-hah.

The battle began, and for the fun of the combat, I opted for us not to tell each other the powers beforehand. I personally chose for my young male combatant to be able to spray flammable, sticky liquid from his hands. It was absolutely harmless (Albeit a bit adhesive) unless lit aflame. My opponent chose to be able to walk through walls.

Needless to say, I won.

After patting myself on the back, I realized exactly how much fun the fight had been. I felt an immense sense of pride because I knew that my victory had been achieved by carefull planning and strategy, rather then the abuse of an undefeatable power. I had only one trump card, and I had used it perfectly. And what a joy it gave me!

So, now I offer that same enjoyment to you, fellow friends. I offer for you to join my league, limit yourself to ONE power no more potent then a fireball, and remember the thrill of thinking your way to victory once more. With this idea and a few new others I am thinking of implementing, we can change gaia back to the beautiful haven for combat it once was, and make roleplay fighting FUN again.

PM me if you're interested, your participation will determine how far this idea goes. And Don't be afraid to spread the word.

-Van

    ((Your journal had a good point, but I still can enjoy battles with overpowered people because they are creative with their powers. I think you should find people who aren't afraid to lose and RP fair and most importantly, are creative with what their characters do.

    I might send you one of my RP battles for an example through PM to show what I mean^^

    Thats my 2 cents.

    I certainly am interested in a battle without superpowers. It's much more fun that way.

    I lol.


    Because you always have a new idea and it always kinda falls through.


    Good luck though.


    Let me just add one more thing:

    Don't waste your talent on a withering site like gaia. It was fun. It could still be fun. But the people around just ruin it. The enjoyment that was once brought on by roleplaying has just...dwindled to an empty dissatisfaction.

    Or at least, it has for me. I doubt Gaia will ever regain the amusement, the simplicity, the intelligence it once held.

    So for your sake, don't waste your talent here.

    You've got way to much to offer.

    It is not gaia that has lost its notoriously amusing roleplaying status, it is the newcomers who have lost the skills needed to keep roleplaying going strong.

    Those of us who still know how to accomplish a roleplaying scenerio without using attacks that destroy the world can still enjoy gaia.

    So long as those who have no idea what they are doing stay away from this plan, it should work just fine. It all comes down to Vansin pulling through.

    Mayn I'd do it.

    If I didn't need some haxx powers for Auria.

    'Cause y'know, it is the WORSE spot to EVER not have a power.

    It's not a power haxxor place but still, when half the people you wind up fighting are a ghost or some kind of power that requires power to fight, I simply stick to being a jedi.

    So I simply null peoples insane haxxorz powers, keep the slightly above average reflexes strengths and crap and wield some lightsabres.

    If they get annoying with powers I'll consider using some.

    An excellent point. I usually prefer to use only one or two powers (it just seems to make it easier for me when you can focus on one thing and have the time to work out all of its potential). Battles like that are certainly more entertaining.
