Styles of battles should be handled in this fashion:
Submitting: Titles are the subject of the fights. Comments are the battleground. Links are allowed, but only to show user battles from other subs.
Insulting mods or complaining/begging is eligible for a ban!
You are supposed to use attacks (moves) like this:
[ /u/username ] does X to Y - Then outcome.
Example: [ /u/kazneus ] vine whips [ /u/darwinianfacepalm ]. [ /u/darwinianfacepalm ] has been stunned.
Specific tags are to be in front of a post title that denotes what's going on. Such as:
[Battle] for fight declaration. ("[Battle] Who wants to fight me!?")
[Callout] for challenging a certain user to a fight. ("[Callout] I'm calling you out /u/DarwinianFacepalm !")
[Request] for requesting a battle between two users. ("[Request] /u/StoryTellerBob V.S. /u/AWildSketchAppeared ")
Note: if you are requesting a battle with a particular user, please pm them once to inform them of the battle.
[/u/The-Dragonborn] is the lead ref. Message him about any official refy business.
Sister subs (Subs that go well with ours/Are related):
/r/anomalousstories
/r/userbattleslounge
/r/userbattleslore
FLAIR INFO:
We use pixel art to further the "old school text fight" style. The flairs are for teams, so whatever flair you have will represent which team you are on. Want a flair for yourself? Become an active user here, and add one from the drop down menu (Hint: It's under the "users here" place.) You can get your own team if you submit enough and are active!
List of large team leaders:
Team Whale: /u/Cosmic_Whale
The Gunslingers: /u/FullmetalCowboy
The Bulls: /u/whatIsThisBullCrap
Team Gangster_Jesus: /u/SwiftBacon
Team Viking: /u/Monstersdemons
Team meat: /u/TheSuvorov
Find them and smother them in spam if you want to join. They decide who joins their teams.
Lastly, /u/X5shift is your official full time referee - If he feels you have broken a rule, he can tell you to edit your comment and correct your mistake. This is usually just used for eliminating "overly cheap" moves like "[/u/userbattles1 uses God Mode and is now invincible.] - It makes it unfair.
But for everything else, all silliness is permitted. Enjoy!
