The Tournament (Battle RP)

In the city of Gilneas there is 1 yearly event that all look forward too. And now the banners proclaim "The Tournament has begun!" and all are over joyed. Be it from the youngest children who pretend to be champions of thier town and wrestle each other to the ground, to adults who like to bet on the carnage and violen, to the old folk who sit and talk of tourneys past, all look forward to those weeks.

It is not only the village folk who enjoy the tournament, but warriors from far and wide gather to do battle and earn respect and glory for thier people. As we speak the arena is being prepared to seat thousands upon thousands and the calls go out to all who are brave and strong enough to compete.

You hear the call of the runners, will you join in battle? Or are you just gonna chicken out?

============

Yes this is a battle RP! No plots, no thinking, no emo just pure action.

Rules


Since this is a battle RP, I am gonna have to include some rules in addition to the ones here.

- The tournament will be done like so. Once everyone applies I will determine how many rounds there are going to be, in each round every warrior left from the previous rounds will fight against another. Each round half the competetors will be eliminated and this will continue until only 1 champion is left standing.

- To qualify you must create your char here and tell me his/her name. All classes and races are allowed, forget alliance and horde for now. After you enter you will do a preliminary battle against an NPC creature that will be controlled by me or select others.

- After every round is completed, the next battles will be posted. You and the person who you will battle against should then PM, MSN or anything else and decided a date and a time period in which to hold the battle. E.g. I might want to do it tommorrow from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. (obviously you won't post that entire time but that gives u time to read each others post and reply every 30 min- an hour) I suggest you do it on weekends to maximize the time. Once you have agreed to a time, you come online at that time and well make it so your two chars are facing each other in an arena. You guys fight until 1 is the victor.

- No one should proclaim themselves as the victory instead they should admit when they have lost. If you find yourself in an utterly hopeless situation and know the other person deserves to advance you should make yourself lose. If no one does, I will declare a winner but I hope it doesn't come to that.

- 1 char per person and once you lose, you cannot participate.

- No non-battle posts, any thing off topic should go here



Now please give me the name of your char and make sure he/she is in the characters thread and is approved. This will start when I feel there are enough people.

Id make a character but i just dont understand how it will really work...people fight until they decide to die. I just don't think it will work without more structure as to who beats who.

Thats a good point Murloc, I mean who would want to die in the first round? :/

okay then how about some suggestions? Should there be a mediator for each battle or something?

Mc !
I think that it is more like in half of battle you yourself say I die or I surrender...

And a rp with no emo is fun as one with it. Period.

we aldready have an RP for emo, I'm not gonna make another one like the Great Pillage coz that will take away from the main RP, this is supposed to be a fun-side RP in which u can post in once a week.

Hey, Tuar, how is this exactly going to work? Wouldn't it be senseless to keep throwing posts at eachother? A single battle can last like, 50 posts... or even 100, 200, etc. You never know.

hm, figure out an anime, that each battle lasts like 4 chapters xD.

I dunno, so, good question

err... you're right, I've seen tournaments done in very strict RP's where people have helath and mana and stuff and there is a limit to what you can do. The battle lasts until someone dies, it's that simple. You guys should know when to lose.

And since I do understand that you wouldn't like to lose in the first round I think I'll add these rules:

- each person is allowed a max of 2 chars. If it comes to a battle between your chars (which will try be avoided), you choose which one loses.

- The first few battles will be round-robin, so it's okay to lose. You'll still get quite a bit of RPing in.

Good idea, but, we STILL need more players (btw is it 8 chars or peeps 2 be specific on starting time?)
