I'd like to offer congratulations to all of the Finalists - best of luck to each and every one of you in the battle ahead.

For the Finals round, a more aggressive enforcement of the post schedule will be followed: You must post once every three days (every 72 hours). Unlike in the previous round, this requirement will be stringently enforced.

The Finals are slightly different from the drop-offs: every three days (five days for the first cut) a character will be cut from the competition while those remaining continue to fight. For the sixth cut, when three combatants remain, the victor will be chosen. If you are cut, you have three options:

  • Withdrawal, where your entrant will know that he has not been deemed fit to continue, and can thus withdraw if he or she so desires,
  • Surrender, where your entrant becomes open to free kill by any remaining competitor or
  • Spite, where your entrant may use all of their remaining energy in a final, last ditch attack against the other competitors; however, after doing so, they are open to free kill by any remaining competitor.

    The first cut will be the following Tuesday, September 16th, unless someone idles out, which I certainly hope does not occur.

    Entrant - RPer - Element
    Nod - tommy2468 – Earth
    Prince Makelyth - Tdub - Fire
    Ross - blankmaskara – Water
    Rowan Moonstone - Necro-Knight - Darkness
    Julianna - Jerenda - Wind
    Kriege Marns Thalarctos - Kellehendros - Ice
    Connor "Crackshot" McCoy - Apocalypse - Energy
    Project F.E.R.R.E.T. - Ronin Of Dreams - Light

    The Finals Arena is posted, and open!

    As such, the Cellar, Factory, and Fountain Arena's IC threads will be reopened for those remaining to continue the fight (or depart) and those chosen to post any remaining actions before they are transported to the Finals.

    		Congratulations to our finalists! Guess we should make the stragglers pack up and leave the other arenas.

    		Yep! Oh well, considering this was my first EC, I'm proud of what I've done. Best of luck to all the contestants, especially Jerenda considering we share the same element! Have fun, and battle on!

    		I'm confused about a thing: did people who weren't selected get teleported to the arena or did the fairly invasive lights not have any effect on them and they still are in their original arena?

    		"Suddenly, out of the blue, or whatever the dominant color was at the time, multi-coloured sprites appeared, hovering down at rapid speeds to choice contestants."

    'Choice' contestants. The lights ignored those the lords didn't pick. So logic would dictate the rest are still in their respective arenas.

    		Yes, that's generally how it's treated. Here is an example of how Tdub handled it last year, which I think he did very well. Usually the survivors make an exit post in their respective arenas, but it's not mandatory.

    		 To follow up on what Jerenda had said, unselected entrants remain in their respective Arenas, and are free to continue to fight or leave as they please.

    Finalists can make an exit post in their Arena, or roll the "transport" into their intro post for the Finals. In the past, I've generally gone with the latter, which I feel is better for continuity of character.

    		 and to follow up on what Kell said above, Also remember that those not chosen, Do have the option of being healed once they exit an arena, AND, they can be given transport to the finals viewing area.

    For those of us who want to watch the finals.

    Oh and because i just forgot to do so.

    Congratulations to all the finalists. Be expecting to see my character At the Finals spectating area! I'll be yelling out cheers.

    		 My post is long, and it is done, but needs review and polish. Unfortunately I HAVE to nip back into work for a bit. Should still be back and capable of posting it before 8 PM EST with a little bit of luck, and hopefully one or more of my proofers can take a glance at it by then too.

    Here's hoping, at least.

    (Why did you have to wait for the busiest time of my week, Ryu? Wrrrrrryyyyyy??!?!? =P)

    		Seven seconds to spare! *high-fives Ronin*

    I need sleep.

    Who else wants to gang up on the Bear with us? =D (Don't give me that, it's perfectly Honorable. ... Have you looked at him? He's a friggin' bear! Of course we need backup!)

    		As a result of Gedd and ring both failing to post before the very first idle time, rather than just count those Elements out of the Tournament, I've decided to drag the runner-ups into the fray. As such, tommy2468 and blankmaskara, you've both been drafted by your Lords to take their place. Since you're not true Chosen, your wounds will not be healed and you've been unceremoniously dumped into the arena without any replenishment of your gear. The first cut still stands on Tuesday evening (most likely around 8 or 9pm server time), so get posting!

    		Are you sure Kriege is the Champion of Ice? Because he seems more like the Champion of Sick Burns to me.

    		Quick question: is the Pillar of Water to my left and Earth to my right, or is it the other way around?

    		 Traditionally, pillars are listed in a clockwise order around the perimeter of the arena. However, since your approach needs to reference relative to looking at the center of the arena, that would indeed place them as (Left) Water -> Fire <- Earth (Right). You have it right, as far as my old and stressed brain can recall.

    		 I thought we had until Tuesday to post? Reading through again I see where I have made a mistake, but I just wanted to make it clear that I was intending to post and my issue was one of time zones and a misunderstanding. Good luck to everyone taking part.

    		 Behold, the glory of my artly might.

    This is pretty much the layout of the Arena, so far as I am aware. Perhaps Ryu could confirm? Please note it is not to scale.

    		The views expressed by Makelyth in this post do not reflect the views of the author. Still, they do a good enough job to get this party started.

    Good luck to everyone - and thanks Ronin, Kell, and Ryu for answering my question.
