Not Enough Talent

[Klepto]

Reading through these battles is kinda boring. There isn't enough talent. They're not that creative. It's boring. Also people keep posting while a battle is suppose to be going on, isn't there rules against that or is it expected that the people show some common since?

I'm more a visual person myself, so I believe the host of the battle should provide a picture of the battle location, something like this.

And when setting the rules up. Instead of ruling out something that might be a benefit to the opposing player (like long ranged, fire, genjutsu, etc) how about just ruling out what rank the player can or can't be. Like if your a genin and only want to battle vs a genin how about just saying.
Rules: Genin Level Entry with E & D Level moves?

I think it just rips apart a battles excitement when the host purposely picks and chooses styles that best fit his/her fighting styles. When Neji (a close ranged fighter) had to fight vs Kiddoumaru (that spider sound ninja guy) the odds were stacked against him yet he won because he used his weakness to his advantage. Be a bit more creative in that way too. Oh and another thing.

A lot of battles start off like, "Throws a kuni at you but not at you at you just at the side of you to see what your going to do." then the reply goes something like this, "Takes out a kuni and hits the knife away." and then all of a sudden, "The paper bomb that was attached to the kuni blows up." but wait the guy didn't get hit because, "Moves away really fast and runs at you at full speed."

Booooorrrrrriiiiinnnnngggg. Where's the talent? Please be more creative when your writing these battles out. At least make the battle interesting enough to want to read. Become the character you've created and fight according to that characters personality and fighting style while trying to be realistic as possible. Also since this is a ninja fight, ninja's aren't really that special without hand signs unless they're using tijutsu. Is there any rules vs that too or are people allowed to just do whatever all "mysteriously"?

Please have common sense, try posting this in the right section first. And second, please get some experience, then you will not get flamed for this. Flames are coming...

 

[Klepto]

I don't care. I didn't post this for people to get pis_ed and talk sh_t but for people to strive to be a bit more creative in their work. If they chose to get mad then so be it. However just once I want to be able to read a battle and it draws me in to want to read.

For now I'll just hope that people (instead of getting pis_ed) take up the challenge to write out a better battle. *Sense* I noticed the correction.

 

[Black Butler]

*Sense*, thank You, and how else would you say it??? Still in wrong section.

 

[Klepto]

I still don't care. Other than that do you have some kinda attitude against me now that I've spoken my mind?

 

[Black Butler]

No only that you posted this useless thread in the wrong section.

 

[Klepto]

I get it, you must be the main culprit. Your battles are sh_t so you feel offended by the truth in what I wrote. Other wise why cop an attitude? Only people who feel like there writings are the cause to why I've post this thread will get mad, or at the very least cop an attitude.

 

[Sharingdork]

dude, don't get mad at McA, he's just trying to help. it IS in the wrong section, and there is no reason to get upset over that. just take his advice, he's more experienced

 

[Black Butler]

Thanks Dork

 

[Klepto]

I'm not mad at all. I just get annoying when people cop an attitude for silly reasons. At no point did I give him a reason to do so. I could understand why, that if in my first post I deliberately picked him out to pound on him about his battles. But I didn't do that. Therefore there isn't any reason for him to get upset over silly little things unless of course he feels as though his battles were written poorly; seeing as how this is what the topic is all'a 'bout. So if he wants to "help", there's a better way of going about it. I'm sure you'd agree.

Sides, I didn't know I was able to move this thread elsewhere. I always believed it was done by the NB Staff. However seeing as how I can apparently move this thread, how?

 

[Black Butler]

Can't, I was just giving a "new person"(Don't want to get banned, for flaming again), advice for future references.
Good Day Sir

 

[Klepto]

Whatever happens, happens.

However in the future, if you want to help, please do so by not quickly getting annoyed or coppin' an attitude. Other than that sorry if I've offended you, it's not in my nature to purposely do so. Good Night.

@ Bolded: That proves you haven't read mny NB fights, because it's not allowed to hold back information, i have an Aburame bio, even if i make a small stream of beetles go into the ground, and even though i do it so stealthily that my opponent would never notice it, i have to post that i do it, simple as that.

@ Dark Red: You can easily do that, but some people aren't really here to RP or be their character, they're here to use some kewl techniques and win by default because their opponent made a small timeframe mistake, that's just how it is, but i'm always willing to take an RP fight.

@ Yellow: What do you mean? Do you want us to post the exact handseals we do?
Why would we? Some people post how many handseals needed for the jutsu to create a more precise timeframe on how quick their move is,
But others simple perform the technique, that doesn't mean that the handseals don't happen, it just means that you have to find out how many handseals it takes for yourself, and if you can use that to your advantage.

I doubt you've read many fights and i think i'm just feeding the troll, but honestly i don't really care.

I've read some good battles. But there were three battles back to back that I read that brought me to writing this thread. I'm sure there are many people who're doing exactly what your talking about Leeroy, but when I come across a talentless battle it just dulls out everything. I'd say the biggest problem would be what you said earlier,
"You can easily do that, but some people aren't really here to RP or be their character, they're here to use some kewl techniques and win by default because their opponent made a small timeframe mistake, that's just how it is."

The whole point in RP "IS" to role play. Why bother writing anything if your not gonna role play in the first place?

Go there to refer back to the basics written by * Rei *. * Rei * makes many good points taking the words right outta my mouth. Trust, I have read some good fights, some were even funny, Darui is good about making his battles funny. But here again not everyone is writing seriously thus making the battles boring and dull. It's a lack of talent that should be fixed is all I'm saying.

The whole point of RP is to role play, true...
But these guys don't RP, they fight.
There's a BIG difference.
It's pretty simple actually, when you fight you spam whatever techniques you have, without dialogue and without using anything in your bio except for it's abilities.
If you RP you usually use Taijutsu with loads of dialogue, since that's how most people battle in the Narutoverse.
Simple...

ok, i partially agree with you on being the character you make, but you can state that in the rules before the battle like this "i want to fight with someone who will use his bio (let´s say Naruto for example) as it acts in the anime/manga" ok, naruto user would just attack recklessly, right? and by that you are kinda saying that he should use only jutsus that their bio has. so only shadow clones, some taijutsu, SM, Fuuton rasen-shuriken and rasengan (i only named the important ones) so if i would be for example konan i would use all my long range techniques and naruto would lose for 80%.

Bold: if someone doesn´t have talent for something than he can´t do it very well, it would be no fun still loosing just because i created bad character

btw, i just want to tell you that a lot of people here doesn´t have high amount of words they know in english for really accurate descriptions. it would be stupid if someone would have to look into translator every 5th word

8-O WHAT!? Okay first of all Leeroy & J.J, if what you two say is true then the rules that * Rei * made was by far a total waste of time. What your accentually saying is, "Hey we don't have to RP in this RP Forum. Instead lets only fallow a few rules while spamming moves till someone wins. YAY!" Really? Really?? C'mon people there's no excuse for disregarding * Rei *'s rules. It leads to talentless battles that aren't worth reading.

Tsk!! I'm not getting anywhere. I give up. Delete this thread and forget everything about it.

 

[Howard]

You want to fight me? Oh wait you can't.....

 

[Klepto]

Sure I will when I can. As a matter of fact I'll go looking through some of your fights. I'm sure they're tasteful since your inviting me to a battle.

 

[Vincent]

klepto.. seriously.. if you dont like the way some people battle, dont read the fight, noone is forcing you to, therefore, i fail to see the point of your complaints, you are a new member who is not yet even able to take part in any form of battle rp, and therefore, cannot really raise objections as to how it works..

so please stop trying to flame the older members and concentrate more on how you want to rp on this site, as everyone here has their own style of rp, and are entitled to rp however they want...
