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! ♥ ]

[Kon is fighting hard to reminds himself that he has taken down guys bigger than Percival. Of course, that was with powers, and not having powers is ... well, it leaves a guy feeling pregnable.

His smile as he notices Percival heading his way is rueful, holding out his hand to shake.]

So -- it's Sir Percival, right? I'm pretty sure I've seen you at the Citadel when training. I'm Superboy, but you can call me 'that guy I'm about to pulverize.'

[ Percival gladly claps the proffered hand, his squeezing grip firm as the pair shake in formal greeting. ]

You should not sell yourself so short, friend. Size alone will not win a battle.

[A good thing Kon wasn't using that hand or anything.]

Yeah? You're not going to tell me you're a complete beginner?

[ A slightly sheepish smile. ] Perhaps not.

[ But his expression quickly sobers. ] Even still, you must find your confidence. Fight with all you have, believing in yourself, and the outcome will not matter so much either way.

Right now I'm having a hard time believing in anything but that I'm going to regret this tomorrow.

[But it's kind of hard to resist someone who sounds so earnest -- it's exactly the sort of thing Kon could imagine Kal-El saying and welp. He can't help but listen to Kal.]

Let's go.
