Important question

Does punching count?
(Also kicks and other shit like that)

For what? Chroma?

[machizumo]

yeah

If you mean for Moonlacing I have had people offer to spar. I'm not a fighter though...

[machizumo]

I wouldn't expect it from you honestly. It's weird that people have offered then though.

But if it's a thing that people seek out then that's good to know.

[jaganshi]

Yes.

Provided it's consensual, so I hear.

[machizumo]

I guess that makes sense.
How about it then?

[grilletto]

only if that’s how they want it dude

you can’t like
extort people for chroma because they talked some shit or something

[machizumo]

Does is work if I talk shit and people wind up coming after me?
Or do they have to know it's specifically for Chroma shit?

[jadedlynx]

It'd be a lot easier if it did. Enough people around here have punchable faces.

No. Consent matters. Maybe if they're looking to be punched, but the longer the contact, the more chroma you get. Unless you're going to hold your fist to their face, it wouldn't give you much.

[machizumo]

Bummer.
They don't make this shit easy huh?

[torsion]

As long as you're not trying to hurt someone.
So sparring and training works best.

[machizumo]

Seems to be something that people have already figured out pretty good.
A lot of people around here like fighting?

I believe it has worked for me. If you want to punch someone, it ... likely will make no difference to you in the end. I would think.

[machizumo]

Yeah, I guess it's gotta be a mutual thing. And it apparently won't land you as much.

I thought maybe I found a good loophole, but now it's not looking too promising. Oh well, though!

text | un: kishibe

[penpoint]

It does, provided both parties agreed to it and want to be there. I don't know if it is the most effective way to earn Chroma, but I've seen people here and there who do.

Trying to find a shortcut or something?

[machizumo]

I guess so. Hoping for something that seems less
I dunno
like close personal shit. Maybe I'm just no good at that stuff.

[suspecteverything]

I'll hit you and we can find out.

[machizumo]

Sure. Give it a shot.

[resenting]

Yeah, it counts. Better then hand-holding, anyway. Doesn't force you to trust your 'partner', either.

[machizumo]

Oh, yeah? The trust line sounds like a personal problem, but it's decent to know it's worked out for somebody. General conclusion seems to be that it's not as sure a bet.

text; un: no

[terribletwos]

only if the other person agrees to fight.

and you should probably mention you're referring to chroma so you don't confuse people.

[machizumo]

That might be a good point but surprisingly nobody's been too confused about it so far.

un: lancerblue

[battlefrenzy]

As long as you both agree to get punched.

Yes.

[machizumo]

Cool.
Seems like it comes up often enough from what people have answered. Guess I gotta find this coalition of punchers.

text un; naoki

[demifin]

It's touching, so yeah.

[machizumo]

I guess there's catches but nothing too complicated. Seems like lots of folks around here like scrapping.

Works out good.

text un: zeppeli

[casaposa]

I see you've gotten your answer.

It seems all you need is a willing sparring partner.

[machizumo]

Seems like enough folks already figured this out yeah. Must be a common hobby.

Guess I don't have room to call em weirdos for it either huh?

[arf]

Count for what?

[machizumo]

Chroma

text; un: fireprince

[rediscovering]

You got answers about punching.
What about "other shit like that?"

Can you only gain Chroma sparring hand-to-hand, or can training together with weapons and powers work too?
is it the actual touch or the consent that counts?

[machizumo]

Both. Everybody's gotta know what they're in for and it's gotta be a contact sport.

text; un: wakasama

[veiledvanity]

NO.

i know girls probably do this to you a lot more often, but that doesn't "count"...... sorry.

[machizumo]

Well you're wrong about all of that so....
