Okay...this is to just get my thoughts through to everyone and I may sound a bit mean but I don't mean it that way, okay? D8 So prior disclaimer here! Yes...
I understand you guys have ideas and I love most of your ideas but I would like to set a few things in a semi-flexible stone...
For our board I want colored squares so everything is easier. I'd prefer to not have to run around and spend money on sheets of red and black paper so I would prefer to use chalk to just color in squares. However, with the use of plushies we should get paper to keep them relatively "clean." Thus, if anyone already has square sheets of red and/or black paper at home, that would be amazing! Dimensions would be about 1.5x1.5-2x2 if you guys want a lot of room. Mind you, with 2x2 our board would be 16x16 and with 1.5x1.5, 12x12. If you have smaller sheets we can tape them together to make bigger ones. I'd just rather not have anyone have to go spend money on this so we can have a board and keep plushies clean!
With the plushies, I ask that no one, and I mean no one vandalises the plushies! We are hoping that we can all trust each other with our precious plushies by offering their services to play chess. This means we do not want them to be missing an arm because you thought it was a Heartless and chopped it with your Keyblade...Heartless plushie or not...
Plushie attacks can range from sitting there looking cute and 'melting' their enemy to being thrown by their owner or those given permission to at said enemy. Please do not just pick up a plushie and chuck it unless you ask the owner first!
In this light, I ask that all Plushie's wear a necklace of some sort with the owner's name on it whether forum name or RL name, I don't care. If you don't want us to know your real name, I'll call you your forum name.
Plushies will also be used as Pokemon. How? Easy... Plushies should come with a little card that sits with them on their square with four listed moves on one or both sides. The owner or Permission holder shall choose a move, declare it, and help the plushie, if help is needed, enforce it's action. This means plushies CAN have props as long as they do not hurt anyone. We trust you all know Peace Bonding rules so...please don't make me whip out some peace bonds for your plushies...
Also, plushies do not take priority over people! I know it'd be epic to have a pawn army of plushies but if a person wants to be a pawn, I will allow it. We cant toss someone out of pawn position just because we want Axel Plushie to face Roxas Plushie in a battle of Pawn Doom. I'd like to let people choose their positions as they see fit for themselves or their characters.
If we do not fill up all the major spots by deadline, then I shall ask someone if they would like to move up in ranks.
If we do fill up all the spots we can still have our plushies if we desire! I will pair up a plushie with a person and they can use it as an attack. However, I will be getting permission from owners to let other handle their preciouses and the user must ask the owner what they can and cannot do with the plushie.
So...I hope I didn't sound mean and I hope everything is all clear and understandable, yes? Any confusion then don't be afraid to ask!
