The Perfect Dark Battle Arena, better known as the PDBA, has been around for some time. Started by Dr.Doak about 2 years ago, Dark181st took it to a new limit by adding several new modes and versions. PDBA is an upscale RPG battling "game" where we build up character plot through missions and arena battles. Role-Play a created character and battle other members. You would create a profile in which would have your stats so that other PDBAers can use them as a guidline when in battle with you.
Over the years, the PDBA has evolved into something much more than a few kids messing around on a message board. It has sort of grown to be a type of religion for some of us. The many different versions keep the PDBA from getting boring, changing types once one is over, always gives you something to do.
After several moderations of the PDBA at GameFAQs, the main group of us fled to this site which i made, originally for the PDBA. Since then, it's become much more than that. Though the PDBA is still the main attraction.

General PDBA Rules
- Be respectful to others; if you are not you will find you won't be liked very often, and will be opressed in the arenas.
- Be creative and original with Profiles; do not copy someone else's original ideas
- Do not post every other post and kill every person in the arena; your posts will be deleted, and other PDBAers will not bother to interact with you in combat.
- Be Descriptive; there are few things more annoying than seeing this miniscule post with alot of things hapening, but no one knows what happened, or where the person is
- What another person says, goes; if they kill you, are dead, no questions. Unless this is a violaltion of rules, then it will not be modified, and will stand.
- Rules subject to change and addition.

General PDBA Tips - Ranger
REFINE YOUR CHARACTER! There is no point in being a demigod. I cannot stress this enough. It's no fun if you're invulnerable, and can thrash anything easily. Follow the suggestions posted at your profile, they know what they're talking about.
When you post, especially in CISOD, be mindful of what others have posted. Nobody appreciates seeing themselves act totally out of character in someone else's post (this goes for the "core charcters" for PD as well, ie. Joanna and Daniel).
Roleplay carefully. This ties in with the previous. Do not act out of character, or make others do so. Be sure to keep IC and OOC knowledge separate.
Most importantly, respect the others who post here. THIS GOES DOUBLE FOR THE MODERATORS! If you keep making demands from the Mods every time you post, they are going to get ticked at you mighty fast. In the PDBA this could result in an assortment of punishments. Whether it be everyone teaming on you or in worst case deletion of account. If you are nice to others, they will be much more inclined to listen to you, and help get you started. The golden rule works, follow it.
Edit By Notesurfer: If you post while using a character that is defined by a moderator as "cheap," you will have your post deleted! Please ask for approval, or simply post and see if it stays in there. Thank you.
EDIT by N3B: If you post while using a character that is defined by a moderator as "cheap," you will have your post modified, or even deleted! Please ask for approval, or simply post and see if it stays in there. Thank you.
anyone looking in CISOD knows I didn't do this so thanks to Draxas for writing this up it can be a good lesson to the newbs. I edited it a little and added a couple things to tie in a little better this is gonna be an ultimate informative post getting it in the top stickied thing would probably be a good idea also add anything else within the rules and that applies good sportsmanship in the arenas.

Note: Alliances can only have 4 members, no exceeding the limit!(thanks N3B I forgot to cover this) N3B left a good point in his edit. Teams were made 4 a long time ago and we gotta respect the rules in place. Everyone has agreed on it so far so it's rather set as a proper rule too.
