What is FCF'S Battle Royale?: Its a one on one competition for the tiara of top girl of FCF! Like the playoffs of any sporting event, all girls are placed into brackets, facing off against one another until only one remains!

Please take a moment to again review the rules below. If you're unsure of who you're paired with, scroll to the very bottom of this post to see a list of girls in Round 1.

The deadline for Round 1 is Monday, May 7th

Good luck to everyone!
Heidi





This kind of competition I organized awhile back for a yahoo group that I was part of. All and all I think girls really enjoyed it, it was clear though that there were a few rules that were really important.

1. You should have fun!! The risk of these competitions is that some people take them REALLY seriously. Remember, there is no prize to the winner. This is really just an excuse for rivalries and trash talk. People should also know that in the last Battle Royale, probably half the matches ended in forfeits. If yours does as well, do not take it personally!

2. How it works: The Battle Royale gets played out in stages. The first stage of course is just the sign up. Anyone who is interested in competing should either comment here or email me at my FCF account. Girls will be entered into the brackets in the order they respond. So if "Jackie" responds first and "Jenny" responds second, they'll go into bracket slots 1 and 2. Fitting the right number of girls into the brackets is a bit of a pain, the total number of competitors has to be either 8, 16, or 32. If say 18 girls sign up, the last two will have to be cut. If there is interest, those two would get priority in the Battle Royale 2.

3. How the matches work: Once the sign up is over, I'll post the brackets that show who fights who for Round 1. Everyone is responsible for setting up their own matches. You can either make the match open, announcing it here and try to bring in many spectators, or you can make the match private if you prefer. The particular style of a match is totally up to the 2 girls fighting. Pro style, NHB, Boxing, catfighting,  tickling, any style is an option as long as it's agreed on by BOTH girls. There will be a deadline for each round, please don't jump ahead to the next round, even if you know who your next opponent will be. After a Round is over I'll post the updated brackets with the next deadline.

4. Scheduling your match: You're responsible for contacting your opponent for a particular round. If both girls are unable to fight in the time allotted, both will forfeit and be out. If you have tried to contact your opponent and haven't heard back, please let me know. In cases like that, the missing opponent will forfeit and the other girl will move forward. Please also be generous to your opponent. If during the competition your schedule becomes difficult and you realize you don't have the time, please offer a forfeit to your opponent.

5. There will be no Supering permitted: This is the biggest danger with an event like this. To be a great winner at cyberfighting, you need to make the win real to the girl you're beating. If you're in a match and a disagreement comes up, please IM the person privately and talk it out. If you need to do-over a move or two, do it. At the end of a match, BOTH girls need to agree on a winner and loser. If there's a dispute that can't be worked out BOTH girls get a forfeit and are out of the competition. That may seem kind of harsh, but it's the only way to insure girls are talking and matches are fair to both wrestlers. Again, if you claim to be a great fighter, you have to at least be able to make it real to the girl you're beating. If you have made efforts to work through differences during a match, and feel that an opponent is actively trying to sabotage the match, please email me a transcript of both the fight, as well as any other IM conversations you've had and I'll review the match to determine the winner. This should only be done as a very last resort though.

Here are some tips that I think girls really should keep in mind:

• If you're having a match with spectators in chat, keep a Private IM window open and be talking with your opponent
• Think about posting FIRST privately in the IM window, if the move is kewl with your opponent, then post in the main room
• If your opponent is bothered by a move, figure out why...always try to be friends, remember, you're both writing a story together!
• Be open to re-doing moves
• If you can't agree and the fight isn't working out, don't worry...they'll always be another competition...There is no prize, so if you're not having fun, it isn't worth it!

[HB]

If I may contribute a thought. Not as anyone who belongs to a clique of course ( being a man ) , and I can't say I am that familiar with who is in what group. 

But your proposal is extremely well thought out and presented. I would only suggest an extrapolation of what you already suggested, that any fights...as many as possible, be public. Either in the chat room, or, following the excellent example set by Tinafights and Tonyacats ( and later with Alison ), a Yahoo conference chat setting.

It humanizes those who we may only see posting, and gives them a chance to really show off their cybering skills.  In that instance , after years here, and in other catfight chat venues, watching hundreds of fights, it was very good to see a few ladies actually showing their skills and fighting talent.  At this site through the years I'd attended or arranged countless fights in the chatroom but this was my first exposue to those from the forums .  And in that instance both ladies seemed to enjoy the setting and the positive atmosphere.

It may not be possible but there are even some dynamic fighters in the chat as well who may enjoy the opportunity.  After all, the top girl of FCF may well be someone in the chat who would take down anyone here  But no matter who participates, the more open and public matches the better. As opposed to just bantering. 

Again, just two cents from an onlooker, best wishes to anyone who joins in , hope it turns out to be fun for all involved  !

[Jonica]

HB, please explain "extropolation" for Heidi.  Thanks!



Heidi, I really am impressed with this.  I think it's a great idea!  I also agree with HB, however.  For something like this to go off flawlessly, I think each fight should either be public or have, at least, two unbiased observers.  For example, it wouldn't be a good idea for you and me to fight with Kasia in your corner and Gemma Rox in my corner.  Although, I'd allow HB to watch any fight I am in.  I know he would be honest and fair.

But this is your creation, and it looks like a lot of fun.  I know it will be more exciting, and maybe a little more fair, than polls.

Good luck!

Joni

Though I read your post AND Joni's, I'll only be responding to you HB because of the fact that YOU'RE not a rude little bitch like she is!!

No, all kidding aside, here are some answers:

First, I guess I should have said this in the first post, The Battle Royale is open to any girls, it's not a Clique Wars thing.

Second, in terms of public VS private, it has to be up to the fighters. Personally, I LOVE public fights with a very big build up, I find it so much fun that way! The downside of public fights though, is that it DOES put way more pressure on each girl to win. The last Battle Royale had some hurt feelings. Two girls may choose to have their match private, where no outside influences can sway the fight either way. We don't have to worry about witness or judges or anything like that, because again, the two girls fighting have to both agree on the outcome... Say for instance Joni fought Gemma. Gemma may tell me that she won, if Joni argues that it wasn't a fair fight, Gemma cheated, etc, the win will not count. If both girls can't agree on the outcome they double forfeit and are out.

Hope that makes sense!

[Nutmeg]

Has rule 4 where both parties have to agree on the match result ever been used in practice? Because it seems like it has a MASSIVE potential to 'fix ' a tourney really quickly. Quite simply if my friends and I go into such a tourney it would be really easy to make sure one of us makes it to the final and/or wins it outright.

The match results would either be a win for us or we dispute the result and eliminate someone. You are working on a huge amount of trust here and you will be matching  up people who do not know each other or do not like each other and feel no obligation to show sportswomanship. So if you lose to someone you have an issue with, why not make sure she loses too? And to be quite honest, you could end up with no winner at all if the final is disputed

Accusations of supering are part of the game here. Some people think anyone who wins more than 50 percent of their matches is a super no matter what, no exceptions. And some use those accusations to get their own way in a fight forcing people to change fair moves to their advantage. Do the fights however you want but the ability to eliminate your opponent without winning but by whining seems to skew this away from any test of skill or creativity but instead is turning it into a exercise in politics.

[Jonica]

i want in and about what nutmeg said, maybe if there is an argument over fair and unfair a couple of unbiase people could be brought in to settle it? that way if someone does win fairly, but the loser doesnt like it and tries to get the winner kicked out, then the unbias people can decide weither or not its actuall fair or not (if that makes any sense)

you're right, Carly and now i am not sure i want in...the entire idea of supering is too subjective. what someone like...well, i won't mention any names here, but what "someone" might consider perfectly suitable could be construed by me as totally unfair and ridiculous. this sounds fun but i think it could be a disaster in the making...unless of course, i win it all, then it's just fine...

That is why I suggest having two unbiased observers.  I know there are some here who do not like having a audience, but for something like this, there almost has to be one. 

Btw, I'll enter if I get Tina in the first round.  I'll cheat, super, whine, cry and probably still lose.

Oddly enough, I endorse this post too.  Heidi actually makes sense.

[Jonica]

Heidi, you mention nothing about the vast variety and differences in styles played out here...i won't fight anyone who does camel clutches or fucking airplane spins or uses metal folding chairs...so i think i am going to sit this one out..

No metal chairs?  That leaves me out.

[Nutmeg]

Or for those who hate audiecnes, logs will be sent of the match to two or three unbiased observers (I suggest three in case it comes to a vote there too). Its the way academic disputes on marking are settled (send it to an unknown third party)nad might work here too.

Joni, if that's the case, then i'm gonna cheat, super, whine, cry and probably lose too!! but it would be a fucking marvelous show!  

maybe we could decide who fights who by giving a spelling test? just a thought...

Here is my chance to actually get a CLIKKER to fight me!!!  I want in!!!  Let's see if Heidi allows this!

Interesting discussion and interesting ideas...  It's true, there are many ways girls could try to sabotage a match. That's why I say the mantra that has to be repeated is there is nothing to gain in winning, there is no prize, this is just about fun. Think about what cyberfighting is though....it's two people writing a story together....  that's all it is...But it's about creativity... Differences come up during matches all the time, the two fighters have to work their way through it. If they can't, they have to wait for Battle Royale 2, it's not the end of the world. Creating a panel of judges though isn't a great solution. It will add a ton of work and it runs the risk of making it even MORE political. People will disagree on who's a judge and who isn't...The fights themselves will take on a different feel, instead of just focusing on your opponent, you'll also be trying to win the favor of the judges. People may accuse judges of playing favorites, etc, this won't end disputes.

All that being said, it's up to the two individuals fighting... If Tina and Nutmeg have a match and they want it to be judged, they can decide on the judges, how it will be scored, etc.

For us to settle things, all three R's will have to be included.  Reading, 'riting, and 'rithmatic.
