All threads are now closed and will have updates in each respectful thread, describing what happened in each group and fast forwarding to three days ahead to the Chunin Exams.

As a reward for the week, everyone will gain .2 in every category, except Genjutsu, Hand Seals, and Intel.

Your data book will also be given to you individually for Chunin Exam Reference.

A light combat system will be posted once Exam 2 or 3 begins over the weekend.

Because Chunin Exams revolve around Genin, All Jonins have the option to embark on an S-Rank mission outside of the exams or simply just be on stand-by and enjoy all the Genin post. Send a PM if you want a mission.

Sumi Eiko: Here.

Here.

Ready to roll.

Here.

I am here :)

I am counting in Harusame Sakuya on her behalf.

I am counting in Kazaro Kurochi on his behalf, however, he was unable to submit a post before his absence so his team mates Kai and Yuuka will skip his character in dialogue for the time begin. Just acknowledge his presence.

Lets do it!

10 minute warning!

If you haven't been accounted for, do so now!

On behalf of Katsumi, he is accounted for.

The second roll call is taking place now! You have 15 minutes to reply. Some of you have already made arrangements for me for this second part and that's cool.

Here

Still here.

Here.

Here.

here and ready

Here! (Lucky I alt-tabbed Blade & Soul...)

5 minute warning! Whoever doesn't report will be written off!

Here

Here

Giving in additional five minutes for roll call. Once the five minutes have pass, the thread will close and depending how many report, we may skip Exam #2.

Roll call is now closed. The participants who are permitted to post their escape and proceed to the next phase are:

---

If you name does not appear, it means you missed roll call in the middle of the event and will be unable to participate. Your character will be respectfully written off and teams with two remaining can still continue on. The exam thread is now open for posting.

I am giving you two hours to make your posts.

On behalf of Rosuto, he is here.

I'm here for the next 2 hours at least anyway

On behalf of Yuuka and Chisame, they are here, however this can effect squad play.

Roll call is now closed!

If you are missing members, this can effect game play for this exam.

Your posting time is unlimited. This is a race exam so posting is crucial here.

You are about to be given your first obstacle once everyone finishes posting.

The rules are as follows:

Each squad, please appoint a leader now. I have five groups to manage and quiet a few NPCs, so to help me out because I cannot read everybody's posts, your leader will be the one responsible to vouch for your squad when you have completed your obstacle.

If your leader fails to speak up, it could possibly cost you and your team the victory of advancing so be wise as to who you choose.

There will be 10 obstacles within this exam. Once you and your squad have managed to pass the said obstacle, it is your team leader's job to post a private line in their post and specially say "Squad [Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, or Wind] is ready."

I will be keeping track of how many times your team leader checks in. They must check in 10 times.

The winner will be announced when they cross in here.

Your posting time is unlimited so this will take as long as you all like. I'm doing this because some have had emergencies and some have been absent so to work around this, I am granting this, but that does not mean there will be no winner or loser because there is.

Once your leader has been chosen, please put it in your post in a private line to me.

Good luck!

Roll call is now closed. You all be seeing your first obstacle in five minutes!

Let me make this as clear as possible so nobody gets offended or butt hurt or even goes crying about it later.

I am a GM. Yes. It actually is a tough job sometimes trying to please every single person in a game, especially having to work around some people to get these things going.

Running a game is not as simple as it may seem, especially when you envision a game to be active and not stall on certain things for large amounts of time. Running a game takes patience and it can get stressful from time to time.

I put time caps on certain events because it helps move things along and so the game doesn't die down. When the holidays hit back in November, the game had almost completely died and I actually considered shutting it down. When January hit, I decided not to and just moved it along by granting everybody to do the Chunin Exams, to spice things up again.

It has occurred to me that not everybody is happy checking-in and being forced to hurry up. That's not what I am doing here. I promise.

I put time caps in hopes of moving the events along, because what fun is it that everybody has to wait on certain people just to move things forward? Sometimes, people disappear and never come back or others drop out because their group is incapable of posting constantly. What if I never granted the Chunin Exams? You all would still be slowly getting your training done.

I try to move everybody along all at the same time so nobody gets left behind because what fun is it if your group is the one that's the slowest and cannot join the action like everybody else?

To make things fair, again I state, this is not a timed event. I just didn't want to be stuck on this exam 2 for so long, but it looks like we will. So your posting can be frequent or it can be slow. Your choice.

---

So rules are as follows for exam 2:

A roll call will not be placed anymore for any of these exams. You either post or you don't.

You are not forced or pressured to hurry along. Take your time. Be creative. Race or not, take your time. There is no hurry here.

I will intervene once I see the private line. If I don't see one, then I won't know and you can't move forward.

Your creativity is welcomed always. Describe, detail, and post. I will give you your results.

---

Thank you for your time.

PS: In regards to Sumi Eiko's removal. He simply had a problem with me since the beginning. He had been giving me trouble almost the whole time he had been in the game. He misunderstood my words many times and took things far too serious. He didn't like the way the game was ran and he felt his creativity was always being shot down, which is not true at all. I always welcome creativity. I apologize for Earth having yet another squad mate gone, but his character has been placed into NPC form, so I will be portraying his char. to get you through these exams. If he was the leader of your squad, change leaders now please.

So another roll call please!

I'll be removing inactive players today.

If your group is closed, it means it's pending a reply from me. Group B has finished the water puzzle. Group C has been eliminated from the exams as a whole. Stand by. Once the other groups finish, I'll update all groups at the same time because I have one more challenge for you all.

Waiting on the last group to finish and post their final post to solve so I can update all threads with the exception of Earth Squad. be on stand by. :] Hopefully we'll move on today.

It has been decided [since nobody really answered at all] that the third exam will have all the battles taking place all at the same time, in different groups, keeping the secrecy of your opponents' abilities. You all had the opportunity to vote and actually vote against my decision, but oh well.

I will have the tournament match-ups soon and posted by the end of today.

Matches are not to be discussed in PMs or within the OOC.

Combat rolling system will be posted prior to the battles.

Once everybody collects themselves in the currently open thread, we'll get to the battles.

Before the threads open up, this is the time to ask any questions for me regarding the dice roller. I'm giving a small period of time of like 15 minutes IRL time before they open up.

Also, all dice rolls must be recorded in the log. I am monitoring every single battle. Violating this rule can have disciplinary action up to losing a turn and/or disqualification of your battle.

And one more thing, when battling, posts must be complete. This means your dice roll must be the first line and then your post. Your posts will detail what you attempted to do ect. because obviously that is the point of roleplaying. I will interfere if your post did not meet the requirements.
This message was last edited by the GM at 03:27, Wed 02 Mar 2016.

Someone has brought up an important issue.



The answer is, most likely you won't. If your character is not skilled in genjutsu, it will be extremely difficult to break free from a genjutsu cast. As I have pointed out, only two players know the Kai Release so they will be able to break free from most little ones. However, that can make a battle one sided, so I will intervene so you won't be completely hopeless. Take in mind, genin are young and could not cast a genjutsu for a long time so you will have the opportunity to break free after a couple of posts.

Another concern had come across with another player.

Their question was asking how the arena layout was.

To keep it as simple as possible:

It is not out in the open. It is inside a building, similar to the one in the Naruto Anime when Naruto was doing the preliminaries. Open floor space and an upper floor to observe. No statue, no scoreboard screen. It's the preliminaries so these matches aren't battling in the better arena.

Final call for questions.

Battles are about to begin. To determine who goes first, roll a basic 1d20. Highest number between you and your opponent, gets to engage the battle first. I will be monitoring the dice roller history and will know who had rolled and who has not and who tried to re-roll.

Another question of concern from a fellow player is:





To answer honestly, nobody has an "HP" bar of some sort. But perhaps I need to implement one. But if I do that, that would mean jutsus need to have damage/attack numbers and then people need defense numbers and the list goes on, making it more complicated.

Nobody was able to see the ending of the sparring with the example battle I presented. That battle was put to an end on the players' decision because one player got stunk in a situation she couldn't get out of.

For these battles, I want to put the decision up to you, the characters/players. If your character gets stuck in a weird tangle, then yes, that probably will put the battle to an end. However, if people are not comfortable with this, I can implement HP for everyone and disregard defense and attack values ect. Doing so means your stamina would come into play because Stamina is vital with for your overall character's conditioning and being able to cast many jutsus in a short time. I leave it up to the players to give a vote I suppose.

Another player has brought another problem to my attention.



Unfortunately the answer is simple: there will be no rolls for these kinds of things. Reason being, I am forbidding the use of tools like these. The only tools you are permitted to have on you is kunai knives and shurikens.

I will have it this way because nobody has mentioned bringing these kinds of items prior to the exam start and there was no break to obtain these items. So sorry about that. Strictly combat of taijutsu, genjutsu, and ninjutsu only.

Well of course you can. It's your jutsu. Take in mind though summoning does take a lot of chakra, so do know you can only summon once per battle.

Questionnaire is now closing. Threads will now be opening. Roll to see who goes first and label it as 'coin flip.'

Secondly, before engaging in battle, write a post about what's been going on. Meaning, you need to respond to the Raikage's post and Fujii's (mine) all in one as will your opponent. Once that's done, the person who won the coin toss/die roll, will begin the battle and it goes from there.

I will be monitoring the battles. I will intervene when needed. I am trusting players to battle fairly and reasonably. Die rolls will be logged and recorded and if I see that is not happening, disciplinary action will be put in place.

These battles are all based on your own pace. There is no rushing so take your time.

Any other questions or concerns, well, keep it quick and post it in this thread for any Chunin Related things.

Let the battles begin!

Just reposting my question here since I think it got missed in the OOC thread:

I noticed you said that you can use ninjutsu or taijutsu to defend against taijutsu, but can only use ninjutsu to defend against ninjutsu.  Is it possible to try and, for example, dodge a ninjutsu attack or defend against it with taijutsu?  (Assuming it makes sense in context.)

Unfortunately no. The die roller is set the way it is.

I realized that it was an afterthought, but what happens in combat involving ninjutsu that focus more on effects instead of damage? Would such ninjutsu be able to stay around for longer than a turn?

Depending on the roll, yes.

After observing the dice roller log, two problems have been brought to my attention.

First: NO SECRET ROLLS! It's misleading to your opponent and it is a way to cheat against your opponent. You will receive a penalty even though I can see the secret rolls, your opponent cannot.

Secondly: NO REROLLS if you forget to put the reason for the roll. That is no need to reroll because it can change the outcome of battle, ether giving you an edge or even a disadvantage. As long as you label it within your post, you're okay. Just try to make sure it doesn't happen again. If you reroll, you will receive a penalty. The only time it is okay to reroll is if you literally forget to add a modifier ect or you and your opponent decided to break a tie breaker.

DO NOT FORGET THESE NEW RULES!

Out of curiosity - what happens to your rolls if you decide to focus entirely on defense and not roll anything for attack?

Then that means your defense roll becomes your attack roll and your opponent has to have a higher attack for their post in order to succeed.
