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! ♥ ]

Tell me about it! You totally missed seeing me in action out there!

Though knowing my luck, you'd only have caught the two matches I got my ass kicked, so. Just take it from me, I was pretty great.

[ Her expression brightens, and she laughs. ]

Oh, I believe you! And you know, you could show me too. We could always spar!

Yeah? You into that, Boss-Lady?

[Nina is full of all the surprises.]

Mm-hmm! I trained in aikido back home, but I've been slacking a bit since being in Asgard.
superissues: (I'm gonna like the way you fight)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-18 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
And we can't have anyone slacking, right?

I think Jim taught me a bit of aikido. He could it 'making sure you don't hurt yourself or anyone else,' but it's the same basic principle, right? Using your opponent's strength against them?
imhome: (Happy)

[personal profile] imhome 2013-02-18 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! It's a good way to defend yourself without promoting violence.

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-18 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Then yeah, we should totally do this some time. You ever at the Citadel?

I've been a few times. I'll warn you in advance, though! I won't go easy on you.
superissues: (weight weight don't tell me)

[personal profile] superissues 2013-02-18 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
No one ever does! It's kind of a feature.

Let me know what a good time is and I'll see if they'll let us use one of the rooms there.

How about sometime next week?

You are quite literally the boss, Boss-Lady.
