Discussion about Judging
03-10-2013, 11:33 AM
Well, I've mentioned a lot of this in other places, but for sake of organization I will reiterate here <3
I like our current judging system, it offers a lot to teach roleplayers what they are doing wrong, and what they are doing right. A lot of simpler systems neglect this aspect, and I think it makes a huge difference. I have read almost all of the fight threads here at least once, and i have to say that I have noted a significant growth in a certain roleplayer (who will remain nameless) between her first fight and her second. I don't know for sure, but I attribute most of this growth to the critique of her first fight.
Also, I don't mind height and weight being added in, but I think writing skill should always weight more than stats, because as many have stated here, stats are easily abused. Plus, we really don't need a million 500 pound wolves running around beating the smaller wolves up.
As for the issue of younger roleplayers not having as much of a chance, I disagree with this. I think anyone can win a fight regardless of writing style or experience so long as they do a good job and pay attention to the details. Once you've fought in a fight once ( or even just read the fighting form ) it's not too difficult to practice adding in all of those details to each of your posts.
And as for the issue of being deducted for putting your wolf in a vulnerable position.. It's not so much that we're punishing you for doing it, as we're making sure the playing field stays even. For example, if my wolf does more risky fighting, the odds are he/she is going to be hurt more than a wolf who focuses more on defensive tactics, etc. Make sense? I dunno, it's early -.-
All in all I like our current system, but I do think that it's a bit tedious from time to time, and I wonder if we could dull down the system for less-important fights. For instance, we could have the long tedious critiques of the pack challenges and death matches, and then perhaps a slightly more condensed version for other fights.
