an interesting idea...; Fluff battles...

Fluff battles work like this;

Someone starts a new topic saying "(name of person here) challenges someone for a fluff battle" You can also target someone specific if you like.

Eg. I, Dha-Quayshek, challenge someone to a Fluff Battle
OR I, Dha-Quayshek, challenge [Name] to a Fluff Battle

In this first post you make the rules to your battle. In it you decide what the word limit is, what the theme is (e.g. a battle, conspiricy, assassination etc. You decide, and you can pick more than one theme). Also, you can make the piece army specific, so for example you can limit the battle to only write about chaos and Empire and dark Elves.

Someone will accept your challenge and the battle begins! The topic starter writes his/her first bit of fluff, and then the challenger writes the next, sticking to the rules and word limit. the only catch in this is that you MUST take an element of the previous bit of fluff and use it in your own. So, for example if the first 'volley' talks about an Imperial engineer working on a new type of cannon, you could take the new cannon as an elemnt in you fluff and write about how the cannon was used in a battle and got everyone killed (so long as the theme can be about a battle).

This goes on until each player has posted X bits of fluff each. Then the rest of the forum gets to vote on whose they think is the best and decide who is the winner.

I will start a Poll on the topic when the battle is over, and Forum Members will vote on the winner. The winner of the most Fluff Battles will be the Lord of the Fluff Arena

Spelling, punctuation and grammar will be taken into account aswell!

i think the problem with this idea is it's just too damn complicated lol. it took me a few read throughs to get what you were asking of us.

i think it could work, if you dropped out a few sections. i guess it'd be good if it was an actual battle, describing the forces you had. sort of like a battle report, only without the battle lol.

and then each player has 6 posts representing turns, then an impartial reader will decide which they think should of won, as aposed to the one general wipeing the enemy out post 2 due to their super magic secret invention thingy of doom. so it still encourages good writing just in a more warhammer battle oriented way, so losing the battle in a skillfully written way will be more likely to win than someone that posted a short boring sentence about winning the game due to... ect.

to be honest that is what i thought this was about when i first looked at it lol

It does seem a little complex, but hey, it's a good idea so I'll pin this topic for discussion.

A valiant attempt Dha-Quayshek, but due to inactivity on this thread I'll unpin it now.
