[Prophesy]

Just wanted to throw this into consideration,
maybe give an idea to Zen and Err for an interesting make-up for an organized contest event.

I was playing a little classic slice of video-game pie the other day,
Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time, for the N64,

and played the part where the protagonist Link has a one on one duel with a dark alter-ego representation of himself, "Dark-Link" if you will.

Spurred a fun idea in my mind;

A contest, where the premise lies in victory in combat over yourself.

Bare with me,
Perhaps Ares Macrotech pioneers a new interactive combat simulation software, allowing people to spar in combat with digital/holographic/virtual reality representations of themselves.

It shouldn't be too hard (I'd imagine) to program the game to calculate a fight log between a player, and an exact clone of said player's stats, skills and equipment.

Make it so when you bite-off, half the normal hospital time, (dump shock from being defeated in a virtual reality simulator)

and lower the normal xp gains for winning to around 1/4 of the norm,
(learning valuable combat insight from the sparring) , or perhaps just eliminate the xp gain all together.

Winner of the contest would be the player with the most successful victories against their "alter-egos" in the simulator for the day.

I think it'd be fun, interesting, and with the randomness element of the combat system, and the fact that it wouldn't be biased for higher/lower lvl players, as they'd all compete against identical copies of themselves, it'd be fun and fair for anyone wanting to participate.

Thoughts?
