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! ♥ ]

Well, yeah. [Deftly setting out tea-menu and utensils in front of Euri as they talk.] It's all about acquiring the best of leaves and combining them in the most flavourful of delicate blends and then working out the optimum amount of steeping time to bring those delicate flavours to delicate flavour perfection, right?

Luckily, the Boss-Lady has actual tea experts employed to do all that.
occulthymns: (kaz eats bugs lol)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-17 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh.

Wow.

Okay, she can't help laughing.]


You didn't rehearse that, did you?
superissues: (I'm gonna like the way you fight)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-17 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
To be honest, I kind of skimmed that part of the manual. I'm more about the coffee myself.

But watch me recommend the hell out of our house tea-blends.
occulthymns: (drawn to all things breathing)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-17 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[She grins a little. Okay, that sounds more Kon.]

I'm not big on coffee. I'll have whatever you've got for a winter blend.
superissues: (idyll hands and the devil's playground)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-17 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
That'd be our Winter Festival, a black tea flavoured with white chocolate, apricot and some other junk. I'm not contractually obligated to point out it goes really well with the apricot tart we got on special today.
occulthymns: (I awoke the dawn)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-17 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it just so happens that I'm a little hungry too! So I think I'll have to try the tart with it.
superissues: (and I can give it to you)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-17 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Coming right up! Feel free to browse the bookshelves while you wait!

[Superboy is on the case!]
occulthymns: (bury my heart)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-18 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

[She will do exactly that, looking for any books on plants or stupid fairy tales.]
superissues: (baby you can turn me on)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-18 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
[There is a decorative, beautifully illustrated book of flower fairies with gilt edges and a couple of considerably more practical and informative books about home gardening.

And it's not long at all that Kon is back with tea that he has indeed failed to stuff up as well as the aforementioned apricot tart.]

Ha! Beat that!
occulthymns: (you and I have life figured out)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-18 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's looking at the flower fairies book because ti's stupid adorable, but she'll set it down when Kon reappears.]

It looks good. How much do I owe you?
superissues: (idyll hands and the devil's playground)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-18 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Good? Pretty sure you mean 'that looks great.'

That'll be [regular Harfn tea room prices minus staff discount!], please!
occulthymns: (and I'm not so afraid)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-18 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, I can't be too nice when I make my own tea.

[She'll hand over the cost and try a sip of the tea first.]
superissues: (the antisocial network)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-18 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hovering. Literally.

Don't leave a guy in anticipation, Euri.]
occulthymns: (up on high)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-18 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aw, that's cute.]

It's not as good as my own tea, but it's still good!
occulthymns: (drawn to all things breathing)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-19 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[She giggles in amusement!]

You'll get there someday. Maybe.
superissues: (the antisocial network)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-19 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
I can dream, right?

[And happily putting runes etc. away in the portable cash register.]

So, you here to take in the festival or the tournament?
occulthymns: (my heart was caught in a landslide)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-19 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Both. [She'll start on the tart - and it's wwaaay better than her own baking.]

Are you going to watch the tournament?
superissues: (I'm gonna like the way you fight)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-20 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[And it complements the tea nicely too!]

I'm going one further. Trying my luck in the hand-to-hand tomorrow.
occulthymns: (you and I have life figured out)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-20 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
[It really does. She's a little envious she sucks so bad at baking.]

Really? I'll have to cheer for you.
superissues: (and I can give it to you)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-20 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Fortunately, Superboy had no part in the baking.]

You should definitely come and watch. I don't know who else is taking part, but it's got to be a good show. I mean, look who's hosting it.
occulthymns: (take the breath from my throat)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-21 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah, a king.

[And Merlin.]
superissues: (I'm gonna like the way you fight)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-21 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
You got to check out his voice-mail message though. Like someone really dropped the ball on that one.
occulthymns: (wait for summer)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-02-21 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Really? What's it sound like?

[Of course she'll start fiddling with her bracelet.]
superissues: (I'm gonna like the way you fight)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-21 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Not saying. You got to listen to it for yourself.
