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.

:3 I'd love to do this! 18 probably wouldn't help but she's definitely come fight.

[dedicatednoless]

Well, hey, she is one more person (so to speak) interested in coming to fight so that's more than helpful in actually holding a tournament. It works out in the end.

[ofnobleheart]

archery yes bring it on

[thelittlemacthatcould]

I know that at least Mac here would love to test his skills! He's a professional boxer so he'd be all up for hand-to-hand combat. He's probably like to be able to wear his gloves, though.

[dedicatednoless]

There's always a place for you, Princess. ♥

[dedicatednoless]

Hm, I didn't know we had a boxer, but can I ask if would he be okay with entering a mixed martial arts competition because there don't seem to be many other characters that would know hand-to-hand combat? Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

For the gunslingers in the village, could there be a marksmanship category?

[dedicatednoless]

Of course. It will probably have to be something he hears about ICly, but other than that it won't be left out.

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

Awesome! You can also put her down as a volunteer.

Any idea where the tournament will be held? Battle Dome, barracks, or elsewhere?

misfire, welp

[thelittlemacthatcould]

To be honest, I'm not quite sure about how many others might be comfortable with hand-to-hand. :V I'm curious about it now, though.

He'd be confused but I think he'd still try. It's a good learning experience even though he knows he's at a disadvantage since he's not too familiar with the styles of his opponents. But he faced a huge disadvantage in his own career back home so I think he'll take it in stride.

[dedicatednoless]

Well, if more people pop up that do hand-to-hand, I'd be more than happy to create it's own group, but if not I'd hate to leave anyone left out.

Yeah, but who isn't at a disadvantage here? I'm sure he isn't the only one who is at a disadvantage. Anyway, I'll put him up on the list now!

[dedicatednoless]

Will do!

I believe the Battle Dome for most the actual fights, but for things like archery and marksmanship I would think a set up on the edge of the village facing the forest would be safest.

[thelittlemacthatcould]

Oh, of course. And his bio says he loves a challenge, so it works out. Thanks for setting this up!

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

Marksmanship and archery might be doable in the battle dome since ammo/arrows can be simulated and the safety would prevent anyone from getting hurt.

[movesfast]

Nagisa would definitely be for volunteering to help out.

Jayden could likely serve as a judge for marksmanship. He probably wouldn't go in for the actual tournament, but judging would work.

If there ends up being something for knife throwing (even if she's mostly against, like, the archers or the like!), Clove's in for competition.

[dedicatednoless]

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the simulation part. Well, I guess everything can be done at the battle dome then.

[dedicatednoless]

Awesome. One more volunteer is great.

And so is a judge! (And I'll let you know if another knife thrower pops up.)

[niceguypose]

Rock Lee will certainly be down for martial arts. (Kurt has been learning swords so I wonder if I should put him down for that too)

And of course Jade can perhaps be persuaded to judge at least the magic. Really he can wind up judging any and all categories that Peony would drag him to.

[cajunspice]

I would put Remy's hand up for another knife thrower.

[pokeboy]

If a tournament was announced, I could see Red being interested, but for his Pokémon. Would any consideration for Pokémon be allowed? Possibly as magical creature types going up against each other, or trying to sort them into categories (I'm not sure if Pokémon would go under 'magic').

Nevertheless, this sounds like an interesting idea!

[etherealblast]

Fayt would totally be down for participating in the swordplay category.... and while I'd like to enter Frey, I'm not quite sure where to put Frey with his tri-nunchaku.

[swordprincess]

Oh boy, Karla would definitely be up for the sword category!

ETA: Also, early May is when I'm planning to be out on a cruise, so I may not have internet access during that time. So I guess the demonstration or the scoring would have to be handwaved? Or are characters actually fighting each other?

[lostinmyway]

Grune would totally volunteer to be a judge, but everyone would get 100 points all the time, so uh. She might also wander into the magic category if she thinks it looks like fun, so there's also that.

Sophie is definitely going to try to sign up for the mixed martial arts category. How you want to handle that is up to you. XD

[maximoff_girl]

Wanda's always happy to test her Magic skills :3

[complicatedliar]

Would the magic be strictly magic, or is combination of magic and, say, stabbing allowed?

Maybe knife throwing as a category? That he'd definitely compete in. He might go for just put physical dagger fighting as well, but I'd have to think about it.

Loki would be willing to judge magic if that's pure spell slinging, since that isn't something he'd actually enter. He wants to see what all his potential opponents can do. ;)
