Welcome to Gaia! ::

So... Are you going to be teaching dueling?

UPDATE!

I'm sorry I didn't post this before. I would like you to post along with your entrance form (or just post seperately if you already filled out a form) the type of weapon you use, and what saber forms of combat you use. There are seven forms, and I would like you to look them up on your own time, because this is a school. This will be research.

Now, I don't want everybody saying "I'm a master of every lightsaber form." Some forms are defensive, some are for dueling, and some are for blaster combat. There are also different levels of mastery. I will name the seven forms here, but I would appreciate you looking up what each is on your own. Failure to do so means that you are not willing to do your homework! icon_wink.gif
Just go to Wikipedia and look up ligtsaber.

Form I: Shii-Cho
Form II: Makashi
Form III: Soresu
Form IV: Ataru
Form V: Shien/Djem So
Form VI: Niman
Form VII: Juyo/Vaapad

For each form, you may have minor, moderate, or major skill, with each level of skill costing one, two, or three "points," respectively. That means that you can spend two points on Form I for a moderate skill, or one point each on Form I and Form II for minor skill in each.

In addition, when you first start out here, you only have three skill points to spend, and you can gain more points as you stay and learn.


There are several rules to gaining forms of combat that I will post here, and we can discuss more in depth if you so wish. I think you will better understand these rules when you look up the forms.

1. One may not take a skill ranking in Form V unless one already has a moderate ranking in both Form III and Form IV
2. One may not take a skill ranking in Form VI unless one already has at least a minor ranking in two of the forms from I-V and one moderate ranking in a form from I-V
3. One may not ever, ever, EVER take a rank in Form VII without a moderate rank in three of any of the six previous forms and one must also get permission from the Duelmaster (me) via PM. This is because Form VII is a very special form.
4. There is an extra form called Jar'Kai, which is the style of two lightsabers at the same time. One may not take a rank in Jar'Kai without a major rank in Form VI

Okay, now that I have established this, here is my form list, from which you may use as a model.

Floofae's Form mastery:
Form I: minor
Form II: major
Form III: moderate
Form IV: moderate
Form V: major
Form VI: major
Form VII: moderate
Jar'Kai: minor
(The reason I have so many forms is because I can icon_biggrin.gif . Actually, it's because you do need a competent Duelmaster, and I do still have to learn more forms.)

Wait, I just had the best idea. From now on, instead of fighting in the other forums and clogging them when we get peeved, we can challenge each other to a duel here!

I will be teaching, we will be using all the weapons above, including bricks. I do think this will help us get our anger out (less in other forums sadly) floo. Bring in the gladiator droid.

Did you say bricks? Sweet! *throws a brick at floo* Mwahahahaha!! That was fun. Sorry 'bout that floo!

I want everyone to follow my example in a post:

name:
side: (not that it matters...hahah rofl ...RIGHT!!!!)
weapon of choice:
level of expertise with that weapon:

Oh, and I'm not going to post all the weapons availabe, that is a prequiste for joing this class. If you don't know what a brick, lightsaber, blaster or whatever, look it up. I'm not wasting class time.

name:Alfuncoot
side: Sith
weapon of choice: Double bladed green lightsaber
level of expertise with that weapon: Master

Okay, time to start this thing. I challenge Alfuncoot to a duel!

*Activates one saber and assumes a defensive stance.*
