Once jayjinde gets his Pokemon sent in
The match will start, with jayjinde ord'ring first!
And now, without any further ado,
jayjinde gives orders: Let the match begin!
(For reference, I will write each reffing lineWilliam Shakespeare said:
In Shakespeare's iambic pentameter.)
The stage is set, with data just below:
Field Type- Neutral
Complexity- Moderate
Format- All
Restrictions- No seismic activity, No weather
Plaza of Verona: After here is like a blast back to the (far) past, for the arena is set back in Shakespearean times! the people speak like they did in shakepeare's plays, and the two clans of his classical tale romeo and juliet, the Montagues and Capulets, are out and ready to fight! the scene is the plaza of the city, which is 800 feet wide and long. int he center is a beautiful and intricate water fountain (20 feet tall, 50 feet wide and long). Now imagine the fountain is in the center of a 300 by 300 foot cobblestone circle. surrounding that circle are stairs that lead up to the rest of the arena, for the fountain and its circle are three feet lower. the whole arena is flat and even, dwarfed by the tall, ancient buildings of old italy. No weather can be induced and no seismic activity can be triggered. (this next part is up to teh ref) If the players join in with the theme and post commands like he or she is in romeo and Juliet times their Pokemon will get bonuses. (e.g Thoust raticate! thy fury pour down bladed fang with agile wit! Hyper be so for devilish fiend to vanquish!)
Ref Notes:
-To clarify the above: Any set of actions posted in Shakespearean English and proper iambic pentameter will award a +1 BAP boost and -1 Energy Cost to every move used by that Pokemon that round. The boost may be gained every other round, although you can still post like a Shakespeare play for flavor purposes.
-For reffing purposes, each of you will receive the name of a character from Romeo and Juliet as follows: Romeo (The Wanderer), Benvolio (Texas Cloverleaf), Mercutio (dragonboy52), Tybalt (jayjinde). (This is in no way indicative of what I think your personality is or who I think will win. I just want to write cool flavor. :D)
