OOC: Ok, stop me if this already exists on NS but here is my idea:
In the future there would be a new sport added to the physical sports: the sport of mind-fighting (that doesn't need to be the name, could be mind-wrestling or whatnot).
Essentially, two or more people would connect to a computer (think Matrix) and "fight." The person with the advantage would be the person with the strongest mind, as in strongest willed with higher intelligence being a factor as well. The type of combat that could be simulated would only be limited by the imagination, and players could create any kind of weapon that they could imagine as well as any kind of defences that they can imagine (again, whoever had the strongest mind would have more potent weapons and better defences). There would be safety measures to insure that no permanent damage occurs to the players (although a safeguard failure could be an interesting RP element). There could be multiple variations, but for the 'traditional' syle I am thinking one on one in a tournament based system (there would be many combatants to start out with and the winner of each battle moves on to the next round until only one is left). You could also have specialy ones such as the champion vs. 2 or more lower minds or 2 vs. 2 or more, basically any combination would do. The fights could be displayed on screens for the audience and broadcasted (you could even have commentators, "And there goes Bob using his patented FireBomb" lol)
If you have any questions or comments or advice please post them here. If enough people show interest then I will start an IC thread with the first such event of this sport.
