Battling
Battling in this Rpg takes place over AOL instant messanger (AIM)/Chat OR Forums. Before battling you must state what you are gonna have equipped for your battle (rings are already on and don't count as an item). You are allowed to equip one battle armor/clothing. one item, and one weapon, The one item is basically an anti-stop technique item, you can still use tonics and ethers. You can have up to four (4) people all together in battle, any amount lower than that is allowable also (you can't fight yourself, stupid). Everyone starts with One Dodge and your speed is what determines who goes first in battle, in a four (4) way the fastest goes first, second fastest goes second and so forth and so forth. As for attacking and defending goes, per turn you have the option to use an attack/technique, item, or you can pass, you cannot hit yourself (if you do you will be deducted points). Each person starts with one dodge (a.k.a block) in battle, please read the topic of dodging below to see more on this subject after you have finished reading battles. Now you can nullify Energy attacks instead of using a dodge(Cannot Nullify Physical Attacks), but the attack must be the same level or higher (you cannot block strong attack with a basic attack). For example, if Master Roshi fired a Kamehameha at King Vegeta, King Vegeta could blast Galik Ho and it would either weaken Roshi's attack or if King Vegeta's attack is stronger that Roshi's it would destroy the Kamehameha and hurt Roshi, but this would drain King Vegeta's Ki and would waste his next turn. You can also take an attack for someone else in battle, so if someone attacked another person in battle, you could jump in and save their ass or yet again fire an attack to nullify the enemy's attack, now taking a hit doesn't waste a turn but but nullifying the enemy's attack would yet again waste a turn. Another thing to clear up, unless someone attacks you , you cannot block block the attack with a ki blast and hurt the guy that shot it. So if someone shoots a blast at your friend, you can't fire a blast at the blast and hurt the other guy that fired it. On a lighter note: Try to stay on for the whole battle. Don't get off say you're 3 or 4 way until the WHOLE battle is done. You also recieve points for battling based on you're opponents Ki's, but this isnt effective until you are over a set powerlevel of 100,000. Also a turn is what you decide to do when it's your go in combat and a round is after everyone has used their turn and the order of turns returns back to the person with highest speed and it uses NO TURN to dodge, meaning you can dodge and attack or whatever in the same turn.
You can battle only battle once a day unless unprovoked/ambushed
It is important to remember that combat taking place over the Message Boards should only be replied to AFTER it is complete. And the same rules apply by post. So the person with the highest speed post first and so on and so fourth
4 Way: 1st place = 2,000 points. | 2nd place = 1,500 points. | 3rd place = 1,000 points. | 4th place = 500 points.
3 Way: 1st place = 1,500 points. | 2nd place = 1,000 points. | 3rd place = 500 points.
1 on 1: 1st place = 1,000 points. | 2nd place = 500 points.
Also after 100,000 Powerlevel you begin to recieve 1% of yours and opponents Ki depending on where you place.
4 Way: 1st Place = 1% Own Ki and Everyone Else, 2nd place = 1% Own Ki + 3rd and 4th, 3rd place = 1% Own Ki, 4th place = 1% Own Ki
3 Way: 1st place = 1% Own Ki and Everyone Else, 2nd place = 1% Own Ki + 3rd, 3rd place = 1% Own Ki
1 on 1: 1st place = 1% Own and 2nd place, 2nd place = 1% Own Ki
NOTE: Your basic 500 and 1,000 point gains etc will be added to your Ki gains to determine how many points you will recieve.

Unprovoked Battles
If you want, you can just instant message a member you want to fight without asking if they want to. This is called an unprovoked battle, but inorder for this to be valid you MUST start the battle with a statement saying what you are wearing for the battle, and you are going to attack, the opponent can then equip their battle items and clothing and the first attack is valid. You can't copy and paste a whole entire set of attacks, then the battle will be thrown out. If a member just signs off, they will be deducted points. If you get kicked off and show back up AND tell the person you were fighting that you got kicked off, and continue the battle from there, you won't get deducted any points. The person who starts the unprovoked battle goes first regardless of speed and it is to be known that you CANNOT start a unprovoked battle with a stop technique, if you do the fight won't count.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capturing
If you want, you can also take a prisoner or hostage. You will need a set of Manacles or Shackles which are basically magical handcuffs that can contain people under certain Power Levels (More on this on items page). Each player can have a MAX of 1 captured person. A player cannot be held longer than 10 days and once the Manacles are removed they break. Now, you must win the battle you are in and then after your opponent is KO'd you can state that you are taking him/her prisoner. When captured you cannot do ANYTHING until you are released and if your online then your captor can force you to battle. If someone attacks your captor and defeats them they can release you if they want or take you for their own hostage BUT the time you remain captured stays the same NO MORE THAN 10 days. After being released you cannot be captured for atleast 10 days no matter how long you were held. If you are forced to battle and you happened to be victorious you can FLEE and ESCAPE for good. Also if forced to battle, train or work for your captor you will still get the gains but if they say you do nothing you only get gravity gains.

Fleeing
During combat alot of things can happen and if you are familiar with Dragonball you know this all to well. So I have decided to add the option of escaping from combat. If you feel like your life is in danger you can use your turn to "attempt" to flee. If a person wants to run away in battle they must use their next turn to do so, if the person fighting them wants to keep them in they must use a dodge to do so. If the person trying to escape is blocked, they must wait one (1) round before they can try again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stop Techniques/Undodgable Attacks
If you have looked around then you have noticed that there are Stop Techniques and Undodgable Attacks that can be learned and used in battle. An undodgable attack can be made dodgable by using "Running Shoes", but you still have to use a dodge. Stop Techniques can be avoided by using a anti-stop technique found on the Accessories page. Some stop techniques only effect certian races, spirit or genders.

24 Hour Rule
When battling through the forum the 24 Hour Rule will apply. This means that when it's your turn to post if you do not reply or rather make you move then it is considered a pass and you lose your turn. We understand things happen but life is life and the show must go on. If you know you will be away let me know and your friend can roleplay in your place until you return. If you die then that is on you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ambush Attacks
This is basically the same as an Unprovoked Attack but in the forums. When a battle is going down and you are on the same planet (DUH) you can post saying that you are entering a battle and who you are attacking. You cannot use ANY STOP techniques if you Ambush someone. If you join a ambush you will be considered the slowest meaning if you joined a 3 way you would go fourth. You can enter a battle by deflecting a blast for someone or taking a hit for a friend. If you ambush someone the people you ambush can use an additional Healing Item, even if they already used it. Also their KI will be replinished.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Armor/Clothing
Like stated above you can wear armor or clothings in combat. At the beginning of each bout you will list what you are wearing along with items and weapons and you start. Now as far as calculating goes it is simple and if your math isn't good then use a calculator to get the correct deductions (this could mean life and death). So just as an example if you are wearing a Feather Gi (Blocks 10% Energy dmg) and my blast does 1,000 damage then after the deduction (-100) it would only deal 900 damage. If you power struggle someone and LOSE then the remaining damage is also reduced by your armor. Armors CANNOT be stacked so you can't wear two (2) Elite Saiyajin Armors.
