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! ♥ ]

[luckily there are many healers in asgard]

Welcome back to the stands.
hollowchild: (slow down cause you're almost free)

[yes, that is a good thing. she even knows a few, she's just stubborn. taking a seat for now though]

Thank you, I think. It wasn't a terribly good fight.

Much better than your others lately. Sore?
hollowchild: (hold me to the flame)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2013-02-17 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
From a technical perspective, that's debatable.

[but she's smiling a bit]

Quite.
daddyissues: (close your eyes not your mind)

[personal profile] daddyissues 2013-02-17 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[flaps a hand at technicalities]

Sure you want to be sitting here instead of wobbling into the medic tent?
hollowchild: (slow down cause you're almost free)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2013-02-17 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
For the moment, anyway. Let them save their energy for an emergency. I'll go after the rounds are over.

[personal profile] daddyissues 2013-02-17 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Makes sense. There are a few tiers left.
hollowchild: (that matters more than survival)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2013-02-17 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. I'll be fine.
daddyissues: (close your eyes not your mind)

[personal profile] daddyissues 2013-02-17 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, then, place your bets.

[casually dropping his hand to the seat between them]

I don't know either of these two, but I'll wager that the girl wants it more but the boy will prevail.

[there's a moment of hesitation before she puts hers over it]
daddyissues: (Default)

[personal profile] daddyissues 2013-02-17 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[he sizes them up, then tilts his head at her]

What are we betting?

[he spreads his fingers a little so hers slip through and he can hook his over. sort of handholding!]
hollowchild: (the mirrored lens)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2013-02-18 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[goes with this psuedohandholding! she also looks at him and shrugs with a half-smile]

I don't know, what are we betting? I don't think either of us have many material things of value.
daddyissues: (lights are on but mom's not home)

[personal profile] daddyissues 2013-02-18 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I never bet possessions. Favors, dares, the loser has to buy the booze next party, stuff like that is much more fun.
hollowchild: (there's the matter of your fineness)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2013-02-19 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
A dare, then? Or a favor?
daddyissues: (close your eyes not your mind)

[personal profile] daddyissues 2013-02-23 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Dare. Go big or go home!
hollowchild: (the life that you've got left lit up)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2013-02-24 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[that makes her laugh a little]

Dare it is.
daddyissues: (there's no way to ring the alarm)

[personal profile] daddyissues 2013-02-24 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Loser runs through the festival clucking like a chicken?
hollowchild: (the mirrored lens)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2013-02-24 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
...fair enough.

[watching the fight, still holding her hand]
hollowchild: (hold me to the flame)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2013-02-25 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
[by the end of the fight her aches are starting to set in, and she's leaning against him a little, but definitely doesn't let go of his hand]
