Ronin Of Dreams -> =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (6/20/2008 19:56:41)

Come one, come all! Come to the great Arena sands and witness the spectacle of deadly mortal combat yet again! Or perhaps, if thou art daring, vicious, skilled, or simply insane, come to compete for the title of legend! Behold, for once again the Elemental Championships will be held upon the face of Lore! Yup, its almost that time again folks, and this year's EC will be just as bloody as ever, I suspect. Second year running under myself, and a few tweaks here and there ought to easily set up the stage for excellence.
The Rules, Regulations, and Procedures
This year's EC will actually be following a similar format compared to last year's, with just a few tweaks...and perhaps a few twists...to whet your appetite. The first thing necessary, however, is your Application to the tournament officials. *cough* Meaning, of course, a simple bio that includes (but is in no way limited to!) your character's name, brief visual description, visible weaponry carried, and Element that you will be competing under for the Dropoffs would do you MORE than fine. Further elaboration isn't really required, per se, but may in fact be used in the case of a tight tie-breaker for advancement to the Finals. Though, a more detailed bio tends to mean knowing your character's ins, outs, and abilities better...and a generalized format is included here, along with the actual requirements, for recommended use:
quote:
Name:
Element of Participation:
Class, if applicible:
<Edit in a link to your first post here, since that is where you ought to be describing your character>
(Optional from this point on)
Vital Statistics: I.e. height, weight, frame, etc, etc...
Weaponry: (Though optional, this is a plus for reference sake)
Secondary physical description for reference's sake:
Background:
Right then, assuming your bio doesn't have any immediate and glaring indications of being an illegal character (i.e. one can tell on sight that it just breeds godmoding potential), you will be assigned to one of the Dropoff Arenas. This year will see the return of Spike and Cellar with minimal alterations, as well as potentially tweaked versions of the Sky and Fountain Arenas of last year. A Spectator thread is in consideration given last year's lackluster usage of it, so pipe up when you apply if you would actively participate in such during the Finals if you are not fortunate enough to make it.
The Dropoffs portion of the EC this year will run for about two weeks, give or take, or until eight obvious combatants of caliber rise to the top, each in their respective element. In character, this represents each Lord picking one to show favor towards. OOC, this is myself as the Director choosing those I feel are exhibiting the greatest potential and quality as a Combat RPer. This was the practice established in years past by DWeird and I shall be continuing it, acting in an impartial manner to choose the select 8. By participating in this Tournament, you recognize my role as Judge and my say as final. There are a few general guidelines that exist which should be kept in mind:
1. No Godmoding. As if it wasn't already blatantly clear for the RP forums itself, it will not be tolerated in the tournament!
2. No Bunnying. Exception: Minor bunnying is permissible only if agreed to by the opponent for flow and detail concerns. (It is, after all, extremely difficult to leave certain combat situations *entirely* open ended.) Both RPers must be able to furnish proof of said agreement, if asked.
3. Stick to your Element. This is an issue I've noticed occasionally throughout the ECs...competitors in their aspirations to ascend past the Dropoffs sometimes mixing multiple elements outside of their Prime Element that they are competing under. This is a big no-no. Elemental Lords tend to be a bit miffed at potential candidates for acting 'impure' like that. ^^
4. Do not succumb to idle-death! You only have a two week period, give or take a day, from the opening of the Arena you are assigned to in order to impress the Elemental Lord and make it to the Finals. Actively engage your opponent(s) in PMs or here in the OOC so that you can make more than just two or three quality posts!
5. Quality, not quantity. I realize this seems to contradict the previous post, but quality of posts does mean more than quantity of posts in the Judgment. Mini-posts just won't cut it. Also of note, however: Quality does not mean "the most words possible" either.
6. Do not overlook the value of OOC cooperation in determining IC results! But do keep records, as I may ask at any time that they be furnished for purview to aid in judgements.
7. This is a COMBAT RP Tournament. This obviously indicates that you should be taking combative action of some format. For the record, a trout slap alone no longer qualifies.
A detailed list of rules for the Finals will be posted alongside the declaration of the Finalists. The EC Finals Arena is the same grand arena of yesteryear too, so those of you with confidence or aspirations can go ahead and plan on those familiar elements being in place as usual.
Now then, the Elemental Championships Applications Office is opened, and the Dropoffs begin on Wednesday the 16th with a final application cutoff point of the 19th! You have been warned!
