December 2019 Archmage Tournament

Max Lager · Post by **Max Lager** » Sun Dec 08, 2019 4:07 pm

The December 2019 Archmage Tournament will be held on Sunday, December 22nd at 9:00pm Eastern! The format will (likely) be double elimination (depending on entrants), and late entrants have no more than 5 minutes to arrive. Seeding will begin at 9:05pm, and casting will begin at 9:10pm.

Seeding will be based on the most recent RoK rankings. Early registration will cut off on Friday, December 20th at 8:55pm ET. Any late registrants or walk-ins will automatically be ranked below early registrants. Registrants tied with the same ranking will be seeded by WoL.

Please post your registrations as replies to this thread. Good luck everyone!

Second place will also take home an additional prize in the form of a newly minted Keeper's Blessing.

Keeper's Blessing

1. Allows the wielder of this grant the ability to use a special one time use Elemental Fury crystal within a challenge against a Keeper. This crystal will allow its wielder the use of Elemental Fury up to three times within a challenge (should the challenge go to 3 full duels). The power of the Elemental Fury Crystal can only be used once per match.

- or -

2. Allows the wielder to submit the Blessing to the Duel of Magic staff to be redeemed for a Challenge Grant that can be awarded to any non-mage / mage emeritus duelist of their choice. This grant will allow its wielder to challenge one of the four elemental keeper titles so long as the keeper is not under a grace period. This grant must be used within 14 days.

(( Should 2nd place go to a current Elemental Keeper, they can only select the second option to give the grant away, and cannot select the EF crystal since they're already a keeper. ))

While the All Ranks Tournament is beneath me, I am ready to claim the title of Archmage.

I will enter.

Michulhu,

Are you going to try and kill me? Get used to disappointment.

Now tuck in your puny little wings and go back to sleep.

Hello Mages!

I'll be calling this shindig so expect a jolly good time. A few things as we head in to this cycle's Archmage Tournament to note;

1) Foremost, we are here for sport and sport alone. Keep this in mind at all times.
2) All violence, magical or otherwise, will be contained to the rings at all times. I don't care who you are or who you think you are, this rule will apply to all. Violations will be addressed immediately and without prejudice. Max and Royal may be nice and sweet but I am not and worse over, I am grumpy as hell on a good day these days. Please do not exacerbate this with tomfoolery or other shenanigans.
3) In light of recent security concerns, the wards on the isle will be amplified. I do apologize in advance to those with magical sensitivities who may be affected by this, but the safety of participants and spectators alike is of utmost importance and comes before anything else.
4) Sassy Owl and Hangman will be catering this event with a theme of Tacos & Tequila. Bring your appetites. Food and drinks are on the house.

Questions, comments, or other concerns may be sent to the Duel of Magic office or to me directly. Other than that, come out, have fun, and do nerd magic of the highest level to see who gets a crack at the top title.

See y'all then!

Claire
Do not [censor] with me

I'm in.

I will try!

Four came out and at the end of the night, one reigned supreme.

Congratulations to Eden Parker, who by virtue of winning the December 2019 Archmage Tournament earns the right to challenge Archmage Gloria Blaze for the right to the Celestial Citadel.

Second place, Rachael Blackthorne, didn't go home empty handed either, taking home the Keeper's Blessing!

Thank you to all who came out!

Okay! That's it!
