Replacing the old with the new!

Hello everyone. Rei, zachisasian, Brawler04, and I, Zephron, have agreed to introduce something new to this forum.

We dub it a Gym.
It's going to replace the leaderboard, but not really. We're more like adding 3!


The goal of the Gyms is to determine the best player with a certain group of characters. Like our current leaderboard, you simply challenge members and work your way up. The player at the top, is the Gym Leader.

A Gym Leader would receive a special title showing that they are the leader of their gym. They will also receive the ability to moderate the Gym's forum. They will be in charge of all goings-on in the gym.

Because of the number of characters, and also to prevent members to constantly face the same character, there are only 4 different gyms. If you are a member of a gym, you are requested to use specific characters for that Gym.

The Gyms:
Energy
Ice Climbers, Zelda, Ness, Lucas, Pkmn Trainer, Lucario, Olimar, Samus/ZSS, Mario, Luigi

Power
Donkey Kong, Ganon, Wario, Bowser, Link, Wolf, Snake, Ike, King Dedede

Speed
Sonic, Captain Falcon, Fox, Shiek, Diddy Kong, Falco, Marth, Pikachu, Toon Link

Flying
Pit, Meta Knight, Kirby, ROB, Jigglypuff, Peach, Yoshi, G&W

The Set Up
Extra players will be put on a waiting-list, in case people drop out of the gym, but waiting listed players can, of course, challenge the bottom gym leader for their spot. This list will be posted in a the Rankings thread stickied in every gym forum. This will be up to the Gym leader to edit.

Gyms Permissions
To join a Gym, each Gym will have it's own Subforum. There should be a Member Thread, and you can ask to join there. If the list is full, you will join the Waiting List.

Challenge Match Set-up and Frequency
All challenge matches will be best 3 of 5, 3 stock, 7 minutes if possible, no items. They will not be judged, and run on the honor system. In case of a dispute, the verdict will always side with the higher-rank. However, if this happens too often, the higher-ranked person could be banned from the Gym.

Challenges will be established via PM. Simply PM the person above you stating that you'd like to challenge them for their position. They have three days to respond. If you PM them at noon on Thursday and they do not reply by noon on Sunday, their position is forfeited. Once contact is established a match can take as long as it must to be organized within reason. If someone goes on vacation, or for some other reason can not possibly play for an extended period of time, they must specifying when they will return. You will not lose a position when you cannot play. However, if this lasts longer than two weeks, you will be forced to lose your position in the gym. Sorry.

If you challenge someone above you and lose, you must wait three days before challenging anybody. If you win, you can challenge the next trainer immediately. Remember, if you win a challenge, do not PM me or any other Myrmidon or Head Honcho. PM your Gym leader, he is in charge of everything.

Special case for Gym Leaders: If a Gym leader loses, they have 3 days to re-challenge the person who defeated them. If they lose this challenge, or do not play within the 3 days, the winner gets the position of Gym Leader and all it's trappings.

The bottom trainer is bound to get quite a few challenges from people wanting to enter the gym. Take this into account, as the three-day rules still apply.

Yep that's it. Whew! Credit for OBC for the idea. And thank YOU for reading it! This was hopefully fun to read with all the colors

It's just a suggestion, but we feel it's a very good idea and it'll be very fun to have!

Let the gyms rise!!!!

Though peach flies a lil she lacks the recoverery that defines the flying gym. She should be Place elsewhere. also pikachu should be energy and olimar should be speed

cool .

Link, G&W and Wolf are in the power gym? Wat. They'll beat all the super heavies that should actually be in there. Wolf especially seems like he should be in Speed. Also, I don't see Marth or Ike on the list...

Ike is in Power, Marth is in Speed.

I agree about the placement though. That can be discussed, but Rei established the placement so please talk to him on that.

Link also has a boomerang, bombs, and arrows. Three spammy profectiles that can be used in combination to give him a massive advantage over all the others in that category who are way more closerange and very slow. He's also got that freaking clawshot, which is a terrible nuisance in the air and on the ground.

And yes, G&W's best in the air I believe... plus his recovery sends him flying, and he can attack after using it. So yah, I can see him in flying.

Link in flying? ROFLMAO!

Link should be in Power.

*Imagines Link with Wings.*

Did I give the impression I wanted Link in flying? ... no.... not at all. o_o

But yeeeaaaah. Snake's definitely worse than Link, so whatever. There's no like... "Almost power" category, so I guess power's the best place for him after all. I can totally see a Link easily becomming top of the power class though simply because everyone else (aside from Snake) lacks a good projectile, and it's just kinda annoying. But, oh well, can't be helped. And actually, now that I think about it, I can just fireguard Links with Bowser... so never mind

roffl but it would b soon cool if he cud lol and this isnt a bad idea...btw i like too add an idea too this?? lol if ne1 is on tomorrow then i'll give u my idea ...hopfully rei,zach,or zeph r on...

I'm on now... ?

It's my post too Rei <.<

I can change it too

sweet so maybe ill be top of the notch and hopefully i get to do many mirrors

Im going to get the Wolf-title! It's best this way having him at the power gym!

Falco title for meh o and rei ill tell u latr cuz right now im typing on Wii l0l my comp iz so slooooooow

Hahahaha true dat
