Off Topic Circle Jerk

This thread, my friends, is where we can vent all of our emotions when things get too heated, or where we can discuss versus matches without making a thread, per se, or where we, the posters of the MVF, can socialize. Consider this the OTF thread of the MVF.

I doubt I need to remind anyone, but all KMC Rules and Regs still apply here. Behave! 😛

Hooray!

We still need to come to a consensus about a new MVF rule that will prevent anymore shitstorms from happening (canon/law/physics/changes).

I'd keep movie only for now and maybe give non-Canon (if specified) a try in a few months, as long as it isn't abused.

So what would you propose for a new rule?

Here is what I had in mind:

New Rule #1: The thread starter, when making a new thread, will provide ground rules for the match in question. These rules are: location, time, equipment, abilities, and handicaps, if any. Ground rules that have been set will not change, as it will create mass confusion.

New Rule #2: Any match in the MVF will use movie canon law. The physics/abilities/surroundings will be the same as was in the respective movie of each combatant.

Sound good? Any suggestions for revision?

I'd leave surroundings out. But except for that I think those are good rules for a smooth debate.

But, what could happen is that we have 50 different sets of Han Solo vs. Batman debates, each with a different setting for example....

You don"t think that the surrounds would affect anything?

I am not exactly sure a) what you mean with surroundings and b) how you could ensure that the surroundings of both movies are met.

I mean a mutual surrounding that will stay and not randomly change.

I don't have problems withe these two new rules, except for time and handicaps.

How so?

Lemme know, guys. I'm making these rules for you. Tell me why.

Oh, yeah, I think surroundings should be part of Rule 1, it just confuses me in Rule 2.

What about Gauntlets? Would those kind of threads be fun, you think? I've had a few requests for them, actually.

Environment is a huge part of a vs. debate.

Take Neo vs. Luke Skywalker.

Outside of the Matrix, Neo gets his ass handed to him without any effort on Luke's part.

To me when I make a thread I never really consider time a factor. It doesn't matter to me if a match starts at night or during the day. As for handicaps, if you handicap one person/team then the other should also be handicapped to make for a fair match. In most matches the time of a match really isn't a factor whether or not a person/team wins or loses., Unless its stated by the thread starter that so and so has a certain amount of time to win or lose then I can see time being a factor.

I personally don't like them, but if others do then why not...

Gauntlets are fun. I've done a couple in the comics v. forum.

So you're not opposed?

Nah. I don't think there's anything wrong with them as such, and I am sure they can be fun for some. I just won't participate.

Of course they'd probably need special rules.

True.
