OPEN | TOURNAMENT OF THINGS

[pratentious]

Who: Hosts, Participants, Volunteers, Spectators, Merchants, and all your pets. everyone and everything.
What: The Tournament of Worlds & Magick
When: extremely late Day 218 - 221
Where: The Arena in the Thor District
Rating: uh, probably PG-13 at most, for violence?

[ Due to limited player response and sign-ups, we've cut back on how long the tourneys run and had to mix up the tier systems. We had only one entry for Team Magic, so this division has, unfortunately, been cancelled. There will still be a neat-o consolation prize for Kaz and Euri though. Marksmanship and Hand-To-Hand Combat will run on a round-robin tournament set-up, wherein each contestant will face all other contestants within their division once to determine the champion for each division. Swordsmanship will run on a single elimination tier-system until the final tier, at which point we have three remaining contestants (again, due to limited sign-ups). To determine the overall champion of this division, the contestants will be dropped into the multi-terrained ground as detailed in this entry. They'll have twenty-five (25) minutes to knock each other out of the ring. Last one standing wins. Individual Magic will follow the same system as the final tier of Swordsmanship.

All competitions and champions have been determined by the Random Number Generator. The complete layout can be found here. Each Day/Division/Contest will be given a top-level comment below for the involved players to play out their matches if they'd like, as well as for friends and family (or enemies!) to stand around and shout obscenities and all that fun stuff.

A million thank-yous to Kami and Dai for helping out with this, and then another million apologies to all of the players involved that have had to wait on this. I know it's painfully late, and for that, I do sincerely apologise. Life got ahead of me on top of the complications in configuring the mechanics of the tourney. Thanks again for your patience.

If you have any questions or comments, or if both players involved in a match would like to discuss a different outcome of their match, please use the OOC comments section below! Those involved in the three-way Swordsmanship final, we do ask that you pop on in there to let us know how you feel about determining the champion there, because sob it makes sense to none of us, but we will figure it out! We can always just do another RNG roll. Up to you guys!

Aaand we're done! Feel free to start your own threads wherever you'd like. The only thing we ask is that if you plot any cheating, sabotage or other shenanigans that would require interference, let us know. I totally encourage it, so that we can break out some cans of whoop-ass on you hooligans. but other than that, go crazy and have fun! ♥ ]

Oh, man. That's not the only present 'of the Jungle' gave me. If it wasn't Sophie out there getting her battle on right now, there would be nothing between me and a tub of Asgard's finest suds.

[daddyissues]

...he doesn't have fleas.

[superissues]

He might have fleas.

[daddyissues]

Okay maybe, but don't spread that shit, geez. He's having enough trouble.

[he seems a little crankier than you'd expect him to be at kon commenting on jungle boy]

[superissues]

[Kon is pretty sure that George is not self-conscious enough to be aware he's having trouble, but yeah, Connor, he is pretty sure you will not appreciate him pointing that out.]

Did something happen? Something happened, didn't it, and I missed it.

[daddyissues]

[awkward shrug]

I don't like how everyone is making fun of him. He just doesn't know how a city works.

[superissues]

He's cool. I mean, he doesn't seem bothered.

[Augh. But this is like when Robin talks about setting a good example and responsibility and maturity and Superboy is uncomfortably reminded that there was a couple of months when he was trapped on an island of talking animals and mentally regressed to caveman level and that if Impulse had ever found out about that, attention span of a hyperactive gnat or not, Kon would never ever have lived that down.]

But I will keep my suspicions about his delousing needs to myself.

[daddyissues]

He isn't, since he doesn't understand. That's not the point.

[....caveman is so much worse than jungle guy omg]

Good. Thanks.

[superissues]

I dunno. I think a guy has to be pretty happy with himself to pull off the leopard skin bikini look, but you know the guy better. You friends?

[look, there is a reason we don't talk about the 90s.]

It's cool.

[daddyissues]

I could say the same for spandex underwear on the outside.

[superissues]

I am pretty comfortable with my body image.

[daddyissues]

You'd have to be.

[superissues]

Definitely. Got a million and one issues, but body image is not one.

[daddyissues]

That's not the best area to be rounding up in.

[superissues]

It's cool. You're not footing my therapy bills, it's not your problem.

[daddyissues]

...they have therapists for stuff like that?

[superissues]

Dude, they have therapists for everything.

[daddyissues]

Yeah, not everything.

[superissues]

Like what?

[daddyissues]

If I tried talking to anyone about life back home, I'd wind up in a padded room for the rest of my life.

I guess Lorne might count as therapy?

[superissues]

Guess that's one of the advantages of doing the superhero gig in the obvious. No one's ever accused me of making stuff up. Wilfulling missing the point or over-complicating, yeah. Inventing, no.

Well, not often anyway.

... Connor, do you need to share?

[daddyissues]

Again, we operate down past most people's idea of insanity. I hear a lot of people in psych hospitals around hellmouths are actually just witnesses.

...uh. Awkward.

[superissues]

I figured. I mean -- I've never had a secret identity until just before I got here, but friends of mine have and the pressure of hiding stuff from the people around them is ... well, it's not exactly a tanning session at the playboy mansion.

Just putting it out there that I got a better chance of relating than most of the people in this place.

[daddyissues]

What is a tanning session at the playboy mansion? Besides... an actual one.

The only thing I might need to talk about is my dad showing up. And that's like... literally ten lifetimes of backstory.

[superissues]

I'm guessing a lot of fun.

Hey, don't hold back on my account. I got twice the daddy issues literally right off the bat.
