TOURNAMENT plot

[dedicatednoless]

So after checking with Akai to be sure it would be okay, I'm coming to you Luceti to tell you of a player plot I've come up with! So, first, let me ask you HOW YOU ALL WOULD FEEL ABOUT A TOURNAMENT with different categories for swords to archery to magic to marital arts? Of course there'll be a prize or two for the winner(s) chosen by a tally of points. (I don't know what the full prize will be, but I'll figure it out or something. Suggestions are helpful.)

What does this mean for now? It means I'd sort of like a count of who'd have characters who'd be interested and in what category would they enter in. Also I'd like to know which characters would volunteer to help with the set up or judge in the actual competition.

Anyway, the plan is to make this happen in early may if there's enough interest! Hopefully there is and we can have some shenanigans in the mean while with the set up and volunteer stuff.

Thanks for your time reading! ♥

Tournament Overview
Date: Early May, TBA.
Location: Battle Dome.
Grand Prize (for the most points): TBD + a trophy + a surprise bonus costume.
Prize (for the winner in each category): TBD + a bronze plate with their respective category symbol.

Other Details:
- Borrowing the most important tournament rule from DBZ: killing the opponent is not allowed.
- Unless OOCly requested, all competitors will be randomized on a chart, shortly before the tournament of course, for all one vs one categories.
- For this tournament, martial arts will be limited to just the martial arts competition and magic limited to the magic competition and so on.
- Point/Judging system will work by who the players decides wins or eventually plays out to be, and the players of the three judges will then each give the winners points based on RNG rolling the numbers between 5 and 10 for a total that can add up to as high as 30 per battle. [Idea from here.] The winners of each respective category then will have all their points tallied at the end to decide the ultimate winner among them.

Volunteers: Ginia, Nagisa, Erica, Cliff, Petra.

Healers: Mia, Grune.

Judges & Referees: (looking for 3 judges, 1 referee per category)
- (Mixed) Marital Arts: Peony, Kakashi. / Bulla as referee
- Swords: Saori, Souji, Asch. / Shuda as referee
- Archery: Saori, Asch.
- Magic: Jade, Loki, Helios.
- Marksmanship: Jayden, Peggy.
- Staff:

Competitors: (open forever)
- (Mixed) Marital Arts: 18, Mac, Rock Lee, Kushina, Masaomi, Sheena, Firo, Zuko, Toph, Laura, Cliff, Gai.

Anything else I'm not thinking of? Go ahead and suggest it.

Kakashi can definitely judge in Martial arts and/or magic!

(He does a combination of both when he fights, so...)

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

So I was mulling over how the marksmanship/archery competitions could be scored because as it stands, most of the people entering either competition are pretty spot on when it comes to aim. Missing is unlikely for anyone, there probably won't be any critical failures in equipment, and most everyone is probably hitting bullseyes.

So random dice roll/rng! Number range of 5-10, one roll per judge, the points are averaged out. 10 is a perfect bullseye, 5 is hitting the outermost ring.

Between three competitors you could end up with a spread like this:

Competitor 1:
shot 1: 7, 7, 8 = 7
shot 2: 5, 6, 10 = 7
shot 3: 9, 8, 9 = 8
Total score: 22

Competitor 2:
Shot 1: 8, 9, 8 = 8
Shot 2: 10, 6, 8 = 8
Shot 3: 6, 7, 8 = 7
Total score: 23

Competitor 3:
Shot 1: 7, 8, 7 = 7
Shot 2: 10, 6, 10 = 8
Shot 3: 5, 5, 7 = 5
Total score: 20

Three different scores that give a fairly even representation of how someone might shoot. For people with heightened senses or other abilities that would give them an edge (Bullseye or Hawkeye come to mind), a +1 can be given to each shot.

[dedicatednoless]

Consider him on the make shift list then! (And let me know if you think Kurt would enter, even though it's probably intimidating with all the real swordsmen out there. /shot)

I knew I could count my old friend, Jade. I'll put him under magic but it's possible Peony will bother him to judge in other categories if no one else does.

[dedicatednoless]

Okay, I'll let the other knife thrower know and it'll put be up if they still want to do it.

[dedicatednoless]

We have another knife thrower, so if you're okay with it possibly just being the two of them to enter, we can make this a group.

[dedicatednoless]

Honestly. I'm not sure, really, because, without exception, my character is against animals being used to fight because as you can see in the icon he's a huge lover of a certain animal. Though it's wonderful idea otherwise! Maybe you should just have Red challenge other pokemon owners in Luceti instead and see where that goes in a log or something.

Sorry... and thanks!

[dedicatednoless]

It's Fayt that he enter! I mean, I've been waiting for you to reply. Anyway, yes, we talked about a staff competition and if another person shows up who uses one, too, I'll put it up. That sound okay?

[pokeboy]

That's no problemo. \o But I'm suspecting that your character will bring up the suggestion of a tournament at a later date to the community? Because I could see Red saying something, even if nothing comes out of it.

[dedicatednoless]

Yes, my character will be bringing it up soonish, and ICly collecting interest and putting the word out there.

[dedicatednoless]

You're free to put her up and backdate when you can, and if you figure out that you absolutely can't, pulling out is fine too.

As for all the stuff that can be RPed, I think I'll be making a gigantic log with threads for the fights, pre-fight shenanigans, volunteer stuff and so on; but be leaving it up to the muns to play out anything or nothing.

[dedicatednoless]

Peony doesn't know that so if she wants to be a judge, a judge she shall be. Same thing goes for her entering the magic category. You have plenty of time to decide though, since I haven't even put up the IC post just yet.

Uh, don't do it, Sophie. But I honestly think Peony will handle that by trying to convince her it's better to be the one to sit, watch, and cheer on everybody else. If that doesn't work, it could be their little secret in learning everyone's tricks beforehand which is totally better.

[ofwesternwinds]

This sounds like a fun idea! If you need more competitors for the marksmanship category, Rudy would definitely be up for that. c:

[dedicatednoless]

Consider her already added to the list.

[dedicatednoless]

Yeah, it's strictly magic just to be fair. But anyway there's plenty of time to decide and an IC post to come, so just let me know where he'd want be at any time you figure it out I guess?

[dedicatednoless]

Okay! But would you mind if I put him up for one of the judging positions of your choice and have him do the other only if no one else fill all 3 roles?

[dedicatednoless]

Why thank you! And sure thing, adding Rudy to the roster right now.

[dedicatednoless]

That actually looks to be a smart scoring system. I think it'll work.

[complicatedliar]

In that case he'd be willing to judge and I think he will go for knife throwing. It's not like that's really a secret. XD

[dedicatednoless]

Double awesome! Put him down for both.

[islandshore]

Wrong account, but what if there's an overlap with a character? Like, both Riku and Ven wield Keyblades, which are used like swords, but they're also magical weapons. :|a

[fervidity]

kushina would totally be in to compete for the martial arts!

[thefinaljedi]

Hrrm. Well sorry for the wrong account! If needed, Saori would be willing to judge the sword competition, and possibly archery as well. But I doubt she'd be interested in competing in either.

I'm not sure any of my other characters would participate, but they'd attend for sure.

[rashness]

Rin would enter for swords and Masaomi for... probably mixed martial arts. But then Rin also has a lot of bullshit super magic demon shit which comes with him.

[dedicatednoless]

Huh, I don't know much about the KH to be honest, so I can't say for sure, but I think it would work best if they switched their weapons for swords or brought up their case ICly later on and got a special allowance to bring their keyblades in the magic competition to only use as an extension to conjure magic.

[drawnbythesword]

Asbel would absolutely be down for the swordsmanship category. He's a Tales character, coliseums are in his blood.
