I sent them to the three I thought of immediately, but if communication becomes a major issue or the account is tampered with without my consent I can delete it as the original e-mail holder to the account.

oh.. I thought it would be given to everyone working on the matches

A group-held account could be a useful tool. I would have created it if I had thought to do it.

As ideal as that sounds there still needs to be order of some sort, but as I'm dropping out after this, I've already told the three that they are welcome to choose who they feel should have access. My only concern as mentioned before is tamperment, I would hate to have any risk of someone sign up, get the account info and begin to delete pages, or tamper with information in anyway. It's not that I'm trying to put a wall over anyone, but for any successful group project a leader still needs to be placed and needs to carry the responsibility of whole.

Think of it like a Discord moderator, they're just there to make sure things run smoothly, but are still the same as everyone else in chat :slight_smile:

I think this is a good move, but I agree post should not be able to be taken down or adjusted by one person. maybe the project leader could be found with a vote or something? but I think a policy should be in place that nothing gets adjusted without permission of the artist and one other whom had worked on the fight in question.

I personally may also be stepping down from fight club after the second fight is published, I'm not sure at this point. I think it might be an idea for everyone to say what sort of conditions they want to work with. personally if i continue with fight club i no longer want to work with anyone under 20 and only with people who have clip studio. the reasons for this are my own.

Seems interesting, props to whoever produced it, looks like so much effort was put into it. I'll be looking forward how this turns out. Are these going to be choreographed by their own author?

A lot of time and effort has been put into it, and it really is collaboration of dedication. We do judgement through non bias judgement and organize specific tasks on who does what and try to help out where need be, we are only humans after all. Im hoping that reflects on the upcoming fight, and so far things are moving in the right directions again. Its been a very bumpy road filled with a lot of gravel and debre but once you see the first two bouts it should be good. Blood sweat and tears as they say. Victories are based on stats, environment, and practicality (2 vs 1, summoner vs single knight, etc.)

I give credit to @Friendly_Sheep for the organization and ideas of how fights should run

9 days later

As planned we will be releasing the first fight this Monday. In the mean time Im looking for two leader rolls, as we could use some more leader positions to ensure this project doesnt die after only two bouts, and generally keeping up with where everyone is and that things are running smoothly, Id prefer someone who has already done a collaboration or has some commission experience, but if anyone is interested feel free to pm me.

I would like to be the leader, but unfortunately, the troubles with the exhibition match proved that I'm not the best at organizational skills. So having someone with more experience and better leadership skills would be great. Also, thanks for pulling this through, you did great keeping us all together despite the issues! Hats off! :slight_smile:

@Everyone It's finally here! Sorry for the very long wait. Thank you all so much for sticking with us for the whole project! I hope this is the start of something great! :smiley:

@Everyone I just realized how @OttoGruenwald's VS Series and ours can co-exist. His could function as the sort of "One-Minute Melee" To our "Death Battle" In which his are smaller scale text-based battle that come out in between the longer VS Match comics we do. We could also maybe even have some mini-fight clubs that are comic adaptations of his text battles. Heck, maybe the two can even share their rosters with each other to help expand both.

What does everyone else think of that idea?

I think that could just make more difficulties for those working on this. we should probably let them be separate projects

Yeah, maybe. I just like the idea of them working symbiotically together instead of as rival series. (Seeing as my OCs competed in the inaugural matches of both series.)

Some thoughts:

  • Merging the rosters would be problematic for people who agreed / want to participate in one but not the other. They are very different projects with different levels of commitment involved.

  • If someone wants to make a comic adaptation of a text battle, they can do that within the Colosseum series already anyway (I think). Even if they wanted to make it part of Fight Club, that can be handled on a case-by-case basis and doesn't warrant actually merging the two projects as a whole.

  • Our two projects are different enough that they would have different audiences interested in them. Many people may be interested in the comics but not in the text stories, and vice versa. Putting them in the same series would likely just mean pushing content on readers that they're not interested in.

In conclusion, I see a lot of potential problems and not any real benefit to merging the projects.

As far as them working symbiotically instead of as rivals, I'd say they already do that. It's not like there's any real competition or animosity between the projects, and each one provides different opportunities for those interested. Just because they are separate doesn't mean they can't complement one another :slight_smile:

it would cause problems for, like Toad said, people who want to join one and not the other and people who are in one but banned from the other one. so it is best to keep them separate
