Re: Rules, Discussion, & OOC
Yea, I'm just like that too >.< I think I have a good one, then I counter myself >.> once I even thought I had kinda a great one, but apparently it failed ._. I need more practice for sure.....Siranae wrote:Ditto. It drives me crazy when I think I've got a good insult, but then I find a way my opponent can counter it. Then it's back to the drawing board :sweat:.

Re: Rules, Discussion, & OOC
Oh, I don't worry too much about an insult's counter-ability... sure it's nice to have one with no obvious retort, but it's more important to just be able to counter anything your opponent says.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Re: Rules, Discussion, & OOC
I agree with Silver. I can always think of a counter or two for whatever insult I come up with, but I don't throw them out because of it.

Although, if you do want practice, Smirk's is always open. Well, to one person at a time.

Re: Rules, Discussion, & OOC
No, you can only be in one battle (be it a real battle or a training match) at a time.
Re: Rules, Discussion, & OOC
After the tournament is done, I would like to challenge Stevenson to another swordfight. I kinda bailed on the first one, then he kinda bailed on the 2nd one. So, not doing very well there.

Re: Rules, Discussion, & OOC
That was a very good fight, Sira, it was tough to escape with a win 
I thought you had me there. Good job.

I... think after Smirks, I'll challenge the Boss guy, then Saber :D I've been wanting to fight her :P
Oh, and I've been thinking about the points thing, I think instead of having it: 'you get a point if you're retort passes and a point of the opponents retort fails.'. It should be: 'you get a point if your retort passes.' Since it would take a bit more time in matches (which is a good thing) and it provides people with a chance to win either way, retort first or insult first, because if you and your opponent are evenly matched, you could always win if you did the retort first.
