OPEN | TOURNAMENT OF THINGS

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! ♥ ]

I'm not sure. Possibly closer to the latter.

I'll be fine, Kon. This isn't life or death.

I know, I know. But part of me thinks that if it was the latter, you wouldn't necessarily tell us.

[that part if you is pretty smart, kon. it doesn't show on her face though]

I might not win the day, but I'm strong enough. I'm not going to collapse.

[...again]
superissues: (infra-red to)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-16 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
And that's half the victory, right?

Hey -- I was thinking. We should do something after to either celebrate your victory or commiserate both of our losses. Interested?
hollowchild: (we don't remember and we don't remind)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2013-02-16 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
Some days, I suppose so.

[for a moment she actually looks surprised. then she just raises an eyebrow]

Kon. It is not really a 'date' moment.
superissues: (Ace and Cakes)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-16 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
Not date-date. More like hanging out, not doing much because ow, got sat on by a mountain, but you know. [Don't say 'making sure you're all right' because that'd be caring, and caring isn't cool. Don't say 'making sure you don't go psycho' because getting disembowelled in the middle of the arena isn't cool either. Uh. Crap. What's option three?]

Doing stuff.

[--damnit brain.]
hollowchild: (one thing at a time)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2013-02-16 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
It's a kind offer, but I'm not good company at the moment.
superissues: (now don't get me wrong)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-16 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm guessing that's polite speak for 'I want to be alone' which I get and can respect -- but on the off-chance it wasn't, it's not 'good company' its 'your company.'

Anyway, I'm going to go get out of your face and leave you to your match, which you will do well at.

[she wants to have something witty to say, but there's just nothing there. really, he's seen too much and she doesn't understand why he's even still trying. in that fight, she'd meant to do him real harm, but he's not going away. after a moment, she sighs]

It is a kind offer. And I'll take you up on it another time.

[it's not a blow-off, she actually means it]
superissues: (the real deal)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-17 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He can tell and it's almost worst than the flat out denial would be, but he is aware enough of himself to know that she doesn't need or want that, and is serious enough about wanting to be her friend not to let it show.]

I'm holding you to that.

[Can we do manly fistbumps? Because Kon wants manly fistbumps.]

So yeah. Do good today.
hollowchild: (and i know no way of leaving)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2013-02-17 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[she doesn't really have the resources to dedicate towards the idea she's disappointed him, especially since she's still not actually sure where she is with connor or how serious kon was or any of that. but she does know he's trying, and she's trying, even if not for what or why]

Please do.

[and yes, manly fistbumps are go]
