I’ve made a start on IC: The Lair of Tentacles (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=312931.new#new), hope it looks OK. Tried to give some thought to how the template should be to support rules-light combat.<br/><br/><br/>I figure if matches have identifiers, then we can run parallel matches in the one arena, and not be held hostage to an absence.<br/><br/><strong>When inside the Lair of Tentacles, please include the LoT tag information. The default tag for the Dungeon Arena League is missing some of the information that is needed by the LoT arena owner.</strong><br/><br/>I guess I should have some arena rules:<br/><br/>Feel free to enter and use the Lair of Tentacles  as you would any other public space on E. Please treat this arena as having a [bondage] tag rather than [NC], although ‘consent to be groped by tentacles’ will be assumed if you enter the arena proper, and cannot be withdrawn unless your character leaves the arena. Similarly, you consent to non-bloody non-penetrative violence by entering the arena, including attacks on clothes. Listing something in your character’s Ons will be treated as consent unless specified otherwise.<strong>This venue does not consent to rape taking place within the venue</strong>, but does consent to roughness and dubious consent. Thinking “I really don’t want this” makes it rape in the eyes of this venue, unless you change your mind<strong>before ‘this’ happens</strong>.<br/><br/>The venue is happy to host personal duels, and for heroes to puppet the monsters and scenery in any way that makes sense to them. Please allocate yourself the lowest available match number and go for it. (Let me know if you want the arena to actively interfere with your duel.)<br/><br/><strong>Next match is (probably)</strong>: LOT-3<br/><br/>For challenges vs NPCs, a brief IC visit to the throne room or lobby is appreciated, together with an indication of what you’d like to do.<br/><br/>This post explains how to fight a round in the Lair of Tentacles.
