Battle Systems?

[UHCM]

I am not sure if we have one to sort out the causes and effects, but I am just throwing it out onto the table for this. Since "Super Thread" is a training thread in preparation for the Espadas and the Espadas are planning to attack Karakura Town, how should we proceed in martial integrity?

Ideas:

Final Fantasy VII Style: Organized and based on ATKpts (Attack Points) that can be determined how many general posts or paragraphs before that person could use an attack skill or Cero/Kido skill. Uses of Items are free use, but can count as 1/2 the ATKpt for each time an item is used (to prevent Lou from lobbing too many grenades).

Dude you overthink things way too damn much. Just use common sense and write your way to victory lol. The only system I know that's in place is when you initiate a fight, the next people to post are those directly involved, or something like that. Throwing in attack points and such just confuses people.

there used to be a dice system back way before i became head admin, and it failed misserably, so miserably that i took over from the person who originally wanted it, and then kyle took over for me, so yeah my point is battle systems only confuse people just write it out and use common sense. be your own battle system

And what would happen if someone play an Espada was being "godlike" (like able to battle for a very long time despite sustaining heavy damage) as opposed to being freakishly powerful as any Espada would be? I'm not naming anyone, but it is a possibility if we get new members here.

The one thing I do not like is a Plot-Based baddie that would not die until a certain moment is reached that happened to be 3-5 pages later during a battle, it is plot-modding to me.

Plot-Modding : Similar to Godmodding, but it is using the story as an excuse to be godmoddy.

Example: Adi and Lou blasts an Espada throughout 3 pages in a high rate action, but the Espada did not falter because he is not supposed to fall until he was stabbed in the chest by Urahara about 5 pages later. So every effort by the now exhausted duo are in vain because of this late notice.

Something like that would be discussed first and then told to everyone involved. And also something like that doesn't happen too often, and if it does, the staff ask if the person is ok with the character dying and then decide who gets to kill it off. After which, the two who are fighting decided on how it dies and then only those two are involved int he fight to finish it all unless they want to drag in someone else.

Also, if something like that were to occur, trust me when I say it would be swiftly caught and dealt with.
