BATTLEGROUND: THE CAKE WAR RETURNS!

The battle drums sound once more. The warriors gather. The war is upon us! But this is no ordinary war - this is serious business, we battle for CAKE.

On one side, the Light fights for the glorious, heavenly Vanilla (Angel) Cake - pure, radiant, and just a little bit too sweet. On the other, the Dark rises in the name of rich, decadent Chocolate Cake - bold, intense, and possibly a bit too OP.

The rules are simple: Fight for your cake. Punch, kick, strike, elbow, knee—whatever it takes to prove your side’s might! Every move you make earns points for your faction. One rep = one point.

For three days, the war rages on. Allies may turn, spies may switch sides, but in the end, only one cake shall claim victory. And yet, deep down, we all know the truth: it doesn’t matter which side wins, because in the end, we all get cake. Victory is sweet. But participation is even sweeter. Every warrior who steps onto the battlefield earns a special Battleground Badge - a mark of honor for those who dared to fight for their dessert!

So, warriors of DAREBEE - choose your side, ready your strikes, and let’s make this the most legendary cake war yet!



THE BATTLE BEGINS MARCH 22ND.

How should i count combo moves and double kicks, as in Lightning; is it still 1 rep = 1 point or do i count each element? (I just want to be sure.)
Rules say every strike counts. So, for example, when you do a backfist followed by a turning kick, that's 2 points.
(This is my interpretation, at least.)

"If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water."
Two warriors stand before me. Both hope to lure me to their cause, knowing that though i am a mercenary, once having chosen my heart will be as steadfast as my blade.

The first warrior is in radiant white, gleaming in the sun. They offer me a slice of cake pale as the moon, delicately scented with citrus and flowers.

The second is clad in armor dark enough to shame the shadows of the deepest abyss. They offer a slice of cake black as midnight, glistening with fudge.

I taste first the Light's bid, savoring the warmth of sweet vanilla. Then the Dark's counter, detecting a hint of coffee in the chocolate depths.

After careful consideration, I place my fork on my plate. While both dishes were worthy, only the chocolate of the Dark has satisfied my craving this day.

For Chocolate! For the Dark!
