[Suggestion] RP New "Tournament" and prizes idea

[Lili-Chwan]

Test of Resourcefulness

In order to test your resourcefulness, you can participate in the ToR test. The premise is simple, you have 5 tasks to surpass. To do so, you can only use freestyle description with any tools and weapons your character owns + one basic Element chakra, using only canon techniques. Once you surpass all 5 tasks, you gain the Resource prize, which consist on 1 extra spot for a custom jutsu of the chakra nature you used on the test. Without further ado, the tasks:

Tasks

Five Tasks

---

1. You are stranded on a island. There's a tall forest in the center of the island, and a large rock formation in the shape of an arrow. Your task is to transverse the ocean and get to the main continent, following the direction of the arrow. The continent is 5 km ( 3 miles ) from the island you're in.
   
   
2. You arrived to the base of a huge vertical cliff. You need to climb it to get to the top, surpassing the second task. The height of the cliff is 1 km ( 0.7 miles ).
   
   
3. You are met with a huge chasm in front of you, separating you from your next goal. Transverse it. Looking down you're able to see the ancient river that carved through the mountain and divided it in two. The chasm total length is 50 meters ( 164 feet )
   
   
4. Once you arrive to the other side you spot 5 targets, far away from you and each other. There are 4 at each cardinal direction, mid range from you and one at the center, long range from the ground. You need to hit them all simultaneously, the damage output is irrelevant.
   
   
5. 1. Once you activate all the targets, a row of arrows shoots towards you from the left, close to the ground 1 meter (4 feet ) height.
   2. Then a second row of arrows aims at the general head area , 1.5 - 2.5 meters ( 5 - 8 feet ) from the ground from the opposite side (right).
   3. Then two simultaneous waves from the back and the front with the same characteristics of the first to, respectively.
   4. Then from straight up, raining down arrows across a 3 meters radius area ( 10 feet ).
   5. Then small arrow holes appear in the same radius area right bellow you. No arrows shoot out from there, you're instead targeted by 3 consecutive rows of arrows from all sides and directions instead of straight down.
   
   Evade or block them all, they can't touch your body.

Restrictions:

• Only Canon jutsus and abilities
• Access only to Freestyle + 1 Basic Element
• Once an elemental technique as been used in the test to surpass a task, it can't be used again.
• Once a test ends successfully, all the techniques used are restricted to future participants
• Walk on Water and Tree Walk methods are allowed. They spend 5 chakra per step
• A step will be standardized as 1 meter ( 4 feet ), and a running step 2 meter ( 7 feet )
• A jump can only reach 2 meters in height ( 7 feet ), or spend 5 chakra for 4 meters ( 13 feet )
• Only one participant at a time per each elemental chakra. The other prospects must wait it line, and the application thread.

Prizes

If you complete the test, you are entitled to submit 1 extra technique in the element you used. This extra technique won't count towards the custom jutsu limit. Likewise, you can choose to elevate one of your existent elemental technique to extra status, thus opening a normal custom spot.

After you complete the task you're added to the wall of fame. You are not forbidden to participate again, even in he same element, though you must wait 2 weeks to enroll.

[Solf J. Kimblee]

I love this idea. Add a poll and let us see what the mods think also

[Erzo]

Amazing idea, I feel like the tasks shouldn't be shown before the Test actually starts so that it's more exciting, but others might disagree.

[Negative Knight]

So survive skills rather than battles ? I like this, everyone in the RP is on equal ground regardless of experience.

[Ciberr]

I like the idea, just don't tell the participant of the task before the test. Like said above.

[Anduril]

mehh not really a fan of this kinda RP.
But its just me.

[Igneel]

mehh not really a fan of this kinda RP.
But its just me.

We are so much alike o_o
I concur with Anduril.

[Vasto Lordé]

I love this Idea! yes add a poll!

I would agree with this too, but at least one task has to be shown to give people a general idea

Then I guess you guys are not fans of OPB's RP then ._.'

[Cookie..]

I like it. Requires more knowledge on the actual cannon technique lists. Since you are only allowed to use a technique once.

I support and like.

[Lili-Chwan]

The point of the tasks was to have a standard set of challenges, which get progressively harder as techniques start to get restricted.

[~xtsukune~]

In my opinion, it seems like its waaay to easy to actually survive even with just one canon element. And i concur with anduril, and igneel

[Délta]

all those challanges would be a breeze for one of my bios so id do it for sure

It gets harder as it progresses...

[Lili-Chwan]

I assume you're referring to Hidan and task 5, yet even with your immunity, the task is not to survive, but to dodge or evade them all. If you let them hit you, you fail the task. And you'd have to surpass all the other tasks all the same

It gets harder as it progresses...

Exactly

[Cookie..]

This has potential to be really fun.

[Scorps]

has potential but i'm concern on how to conduct this.

Not only that but one more cj spot?

Currently you can have:

35 normal techniques
10 in custom contract A
10 in custom contract B (or 5 if they are cannon)
12 in CE C
12 in CE D
10 in CFS F
10 in CFS G

+

5 if you are a sensei

+

10 if you are an official Sage


seems like tons of customs....do we really need to enable people to get more?

[Zero Kelvin]

I agree with Scorps. This is a wonderful idea and I could even concur with this task allowing for one or two more slots. What you're suggesting, however, is simply to award more slots to the already resourceful.
I would love to see this idea implemented and used, but the award should either be restricted or changed altogether.

[Azazel]

Love the idea. Could care less for the prize.

Well, yes. Especially since we can't drop techniques. I like to create customs, it's the main reason I'm in the rp and stick with it for so long. And I've reached my limit. With no way of getting more customs, I'd like to create a way. I dont see anything wrong with having to work to earn more slots. It's not like we're getting them for granted. Besides, gaining a custom slot would be at the same level (or even lower) than gaining Sound / Fuuin / gates etc, which are the usual prizes. Instead of restricting or giving a higher limit, why not allow for people to work to get what they want?

I'd actually choose these over a custom slot...

Why not just gain the ability to drop x amount of customs. (Maybe say the winner can drop a maximum of 3 customs (random number) and something along those lines?

Because it's best to gain something than to drop it. Though it's not that bad of a prize, if I say so. I would be on board. Still, I'd rather gain.

[Scorps]

I'll bring this up with the rest of thr RP mods and Nexus. I love to make customs myself, perhaps more than to actually wield them in battle so I understand how one can become short of them even with such a high limit as we currently have. I also have only...3 i think slots available from my 35 limit.

[Scary Yamato]

I like the suggestion. Its a nice change of pace from the normal activities. People might actually learn strategy and chakra conservation. ^_^
