PicFight [REMASTERED]

Hit-Miss-Pass is probably the most common way of doing things. You and your opponent will take turns linking pictures and reacting to them. If a picture makes you feel something, anything at all, it's considered a hit. Many people like to describe the severity of the hit, if it doesn't affect you much, it would just be a regular hit, slight hit or however you'd want to describe it. On the other hand if the picture really affects you, it could be considered a massive hit, sexy hit, or something along those lines. Now the goal of the contest is to ultimately push your opponent towards a climax, so the most powerful 'hits' of all are called passes. If you pass to an opponent's picture, they're allowed to send an additional picture the next round. This kind of thing can often lead to the winner snowballing out of control and forcing an orgasm from the loser. A miss is kind of the opposite and should only be reserved if you genuinely think an opponent's picture isn't hot at all.

Ideally a HMP contest should feature plenty of witty banter, trash-talking or even simultaneous RP. Just saying 'hit' and no additional context can be boring for some, so try to push your opponent there with your words as well as cleverly timed pictures.

An additional ruleset we have in the fed is the idea of audience participation in a public match. In these sorts of contests, the audience can be involved, not only when it comes to placing potential bets on the winner but they also have the option of sending one picture (along with the winner's two) whenever a participant passes. This can make it very, very difficult for the competitor that passes as they'll often have to react to several pictures instead of just two. Passes are obviously much more dangerous in this public format because of that!

Judged contests are another way people settle their picfights. These are typically done in a private room between two competitors and a third person acting as a judge. Rather than the participants reacting to how hard a picture hits them, the judge will assign a score to the hotter picture each round. Each Judge is a little different in their criteria but keep in mind, whatever the judge says goes in this contest. It's important to pick a judge that is going to be somewhat fair and unbiased to both competitors but always remember that beauty standards are subjective. If you see a member with the 'Judge' title in the fed, these are people with a proven track-record for that kind of thing.

As mentioned earlier, every judge is a little different but I (Jessica Beppler) can go over my own criteria for how I handle them typically. First of all I'll check with both competitors to see how much time they have available and then we'll agree to a maximum amount of points (typically 15). Then for each round of pictures, I'll award a score between 1-3 based on whichever picture is hotter. If it's a very close round, the winner will only get 1 point. If one competitor posts a picture that's way hotter, I'll award 3 points. I also like to have a knockdown rule where if someone earns 3 points, their opponent gets knocked down. While they're in this knocked down state, I'll start a countdown to 10 and during this time they'll have to post more pictures to stand up. If they post a picture I deem hot enough in that time period, they're allowed to stand up and the contest resumes. If they fail to post anything hot enough and I reach the count of 10, they're eliminated from the contest.

It's also worth mentioning that whoever posts the first picture for a round ultimately sets the theme. It'll be up to their opponent to match that theme, whether it's the outfit, pose, camera angle or what have you. Typically I'll have both competitors roll dice to determine who posts the first picture of the contest, after that whoever posts first alternates between rounds.

Judged contests are also the perfect setup for RP stakes and it's not unusual for them to want to join a threesome sort of scenario, although this sort of thing should obviously be discussed/agreed upon by all 3 participants beforehand.

The last way to have a picfight is by combining it with a more traditional style. You can technically have a catfight, wrestling, boxing (or whatever kind of style you think) alongside a picfight. Rather than hit-miss-pass, the pictures themselves can determine what happens in a fight. If someone phrases their move conditionally, like they're attempting to tackle you down to the bed, the picture they post after will determine whether or not it's successful. If you find their picture hot enough, then they succeed in tackling you down. Meanwhile if it's not hot enough, you're free to dodge and launch a counterattack sort of thing.

Ultimately this is the most flexible style available and it all comes down to whichever ruleset you and your opponent agree upon. At Picfight Remastered, we try to be flexible to accommodate all types of RPers. Even if you decide to just have a more traditional sort of cyber fight or competitive RP scene, you're welcome to include it in our fed/rankings, so long as your opponent agrees. Although this sort of thing can also come down to admin discretion and any sort of win-farming suspicions will be investigated.
