Hello everyone, so far I have received 25 replies with regards to my MA
simulator.  I have already thought of a name for the game.(will be announced
later)  Please note that this game is free.  No cost.  Moves will be taken care
of via email.  I should have the rules laid out soon.  Just a few little
details left.  I will post the rules on the net as well I will send them to
each of the individual players.  Here are some introductory notes:
The game will be martial art combat inside and possible outside the arena.
Random encounters do occur.(ie. if your guy is cocky he/she might get into a
lot of fights outside) Also there are 20 different martial art styles
available.  I have a system for designing your own Martial Art.  This wont be
available to users for a while.  You will have to train in one or two styles
for a while before you can do this.  Everyone will start out at low belt.
White and red for Karate.  There will be sparring right away for all MA Styles.
You can increase in rank through experience in tournaments, in forms(if your
art has them), as well you can increase speed, strength etc. in between
tournaments by specifying whether you will be working out on weights, running a
lot etc.  Another question someone asked me was whether there would be team
play.  The answer to this is yes.  I will have team play.  It is up to the
players to decide who should join a team.  Once a team is designed(Max of 4
players per team) a captain should be chosen, or someone who is the vioce of
the team.  Well I hope this gives you some indication of what might happen in
this game.  I should have a formal write-up soon.
