The Tandy Arena is the spotlight of the role playing section of the 910CMX forums, previously The Wotch forums. As is implied by the name, forum members create characters—referred to as Avatars, which can range anywhere from Badass Normals to Physical Gods—and duke it out in one-on-one (with the occasional two-on-two) play by post matches. A match starts off with a moderator's post of the battleground, followed by fifteen posts per combatant (for a total of typically thirty posts). Afterwards, the fight is closed by the mod, who then creates a voting thread, in which other members of the forum vote for who they think will win. In exhibition matches, leaving it at that is generally sufficient, but it is strongly encouraged (and in fact required for tournament matches) for voters to explain the reasoning behind their choices. After a week (as of the voting thread's creation), voting is closed and a winner is declared. The match thread is unlocked a final time for the winner to formally end the match.The City of Tandy located in the mid-western United States and is also a multiversal nexus. People from across the multiverse find themselves drawn to the city of Tandy, and it is currently home to aliens, wizards, gods and super solders. Thankfully, the city is also home to one of the biggest Weirdness Censors in existence.While fights are a focus, there is also a general roleplay section and a section devoted to roleplaying in Tandy but out of the Arena, including Brawl Street, the sentient city slums where most of Tandy's disorganized fighting occurs, and Downtown Tandy, home to Asagai Boulevard and numerous stores, where Avatars will meet, shop, and generally socialize.There is also an IRC for the Arena on the sorcery.irc servers called #thewotch. While thewotch is rarely discussed, the name has stuck.The Tandy Arena is now defunct. However, it still lives on in the form of The Ravenwood Arena, a retcon/hard reset of the setting with a lot less ponderous history. Here is the tropes page for that forum. | |

Power Creep, Power Seep | |
| The Tandy Arena (Roleplay) / int_14dfb81 | comment |
Power Creep, Power Seep: As godmoding is against the rules, the more all-powerful avatars (or those accused thereof) tend to hold back in matches (sometimes with little in-character justification). See Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? above. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| The Tandy Arena (Roleplay) / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: A wrench wench fighting an evil overlord in a forest of mushrooms? An ork vs a 6 armed mage. Pretty much every fight runs on these. | |

Elemental Powers | |
| The Tandy Arena (Roleplay) / int_42846e90 | comment |
Elemental Powers: You'd be hard pressed to find a listed element that at least one avatar doesn't hold sway over; special mention, however, goes to Sir Tasnica and Daracaex, who mix and match elemental stones with their weapons and armor, as well as the Soul Power-focused story arc surrounding the former. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| The Tandy Arena (Roleplay) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: There is an IRC for 910CMX in general that functions like this where characters who may not know each other in the arena hang out. | |

Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness | |
| The Tandy Arena (Roleplay) / int_553c27bb | comment |
Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness: You have the characters that have serious plotlines all the time... and then you have examples like The Bearhead who has insane chats with his writer, and Elijah Sight (Knight of Absolute Nonsense) who fights with a rubber chicken. Even more egregious when characters rapidly switch between the two, such as Rette and Squiggy. | |

Badass Cape | |
| The Tandy Arena (Roleplay) / int_88799cf4 | comment |
Badass Cape: Lea's cloak is long, blue, with the symbol of her magical guild on the back. It is also quite thick and has blocked acid, knives and generally been awesome. | |

Mind Rape: Vikki attacked by a demon in her sleep, Azalea trapped in her own mind, and Roon too many times to count. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? | |
| The Tandy Arena (Roleplay) / int_cc4d190a | comment |
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Given the very broad range of powers, you get fights between people on the extreme ends of the Weight Scale, and since the fights are decided by votes, it is not uncommon to see a Red Shirt knock out a self-described god. For the smarter fighters this tends to be Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?. | |

Gravity Master | |
| The Tandy Arena (Roleplay) / int_d9cc408b | comment |
Gravity Master: Lea Plath's default style of magic is creating force from magic, including gravitational force, allowing her to make things lighter or heavier. | |
