New Rule?

[[C]olor]

This is more of a suggestion than anything... At one of my other wolf rpg's we had a fight that got out of control in a way. I suggested a new rule and here it is (so that I don't have to write it up all over again I copy and pasted it)

"A couple people think that there should be a system like taking turns for fights similar to the one 'A dangerous Challenge.' To brief you on it- Demon & Roslyn vrs. Vilifier & Anyu & Leafpaw. Vilifier challenged Demon for his territory and Anyu & Leafpaw joined in on Vilifier's side. Roslyn joined on Demon's side. Most of the fighting has been between Demon, Anyu, Roslyn, and sort of Leafpaw. Vilifier isn't able to get on when all of them are and has to read something like a page of post when she gets around. Since the fight was originally between her and Demon, it should be mostly between her and Demon or at least evenly. So thus dawns the need for a guideline *sorta.*

The new rule- When in a fight with more than two wolves, each wolf should wait for the others to post before posting them self. For example- Wolf 1 attacks Wolf 2. Wolf 3 joins in and attacks Wolf 1. Wolf 2 should wait until Wolf 1 post before Wolf 2 post. The given order of the posting is 1 2 then 3, ect... This is because one wolf will get overwhelmed if they have to come back to two pages of fighting without them self. (Called flooding)

Maybe we could make this rule not only for fighting, but for regular more-than-two-player threads. So what does everyone think?"

And for the punishment- A player floods and is warned. They do it again and are immediately banned from the fight, making the other team the winner.

Thank you but we do not need that rule for we have mods and admins to watch over fights between wolves. A wolf is allowed one attack or one defense per post and then an admin or mod will tell them if the attack/defense worked or not. This keeps everything in balance and unflooded, and besides people here have the common courtesy to wait for someone to reply anyway.

ok

Not to take sides or anything, but many large role plays have rules similar to what [C]olor has said. It's often because the role plays are large, and not everyone can be trusted as Admin or Mods. Since AF is still in the major control of Juice and the staff, there isn't main reason for the rule, though I myself would advise considering something of the like if AF ever reaches 50+ members because some more ignorant members do take advantage of it.

-- Again, I said I was not taking sides, but I am speaking from experience of being in that position when fighting. Being overwhelmed like that isn't fun, and you most likely will lose because you can't keep up.
