2016 Monk Division

Post by Kalamere »

Welcome to the Monk Division!

The man simply known as Me Monk was the 2nd person in Duel of Swords history to achieve the rank of Warlord and, with it, the title Overlord. Or was he? Some historians dispute the claims that Gondar actually achieved the rank or Warlord first, theorizing instead that it was the man's intimate relationship with Kairee that had her proclaiming him Overlord in late 1992. If they are right that would mark the Monk as the true original Warlord and first to be deservedly crowned Overlord.

Tin foil hat, conspiracy theory? Maybe. Many of the early records were lost in a fire and few veritable sources exist today. There are, however, a few surviving copies of the official standings from Monk's Overlord reign that show Gondar holding a Grandmaster's record, while there are none of the otherwise recognized first Overlord holding the title at all.

So welcome fellow conspirators. Welcome to the division of the first True Overlord. May one of you go forth and claim the legacy.

------------------

Here are the matchups for the first round. The first round of the tournament will last for 2 weeks with beginning next Thursday (3/17) and going through Monday the 28th. Duelists need to make contact with one another to arrange their meeting during one of the regularly scheduled DoS or Fight night shifts. Please copy me on these interactions so I can track the schedule and make announcements. I'll also play the peacemaker role if that ultimately becomes necessary, but I like to believe it won't be.

Enjoy the festivities and best of luck to each of you! (and! don't forget to signup up for the Pool)

And for the Monk Division Championship:

They intend to fight this duel on Saturday night. Time isn't exactly settled at this point, but I believe we're probably looking at something like 11pm.
