April 2014 Archmage Tournament

[DUEL Lem]

The April Archmage Tournament will be held on Saturday, April 19th at 9:30pm Eastern! The format will most likely be double elimination (depending on entrants), and late entrants have no more than 5 minutes to arrive. Seeding will begin at 9:35pm, and casting will begin at 9:40pm.

Seeding will be based on the most recent RoK rankings. Early registration will cut off on Friday, April 18th at 9:00pm. Any late registrants or walk-ins will automatically be ranked below early registrants. Registrants tied with the same ranking will be seeded by WoL.

Apple, 2011's cutest caller, will be our host so please register early so that she knows how many entrants to prepare for.

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

((It worked well last time, so we will adhere to a 5 minute casting limit each round in order to try and keep the tourney from running too late. Exceeding 5 minutes once will result in a friendly reminder from the caller. Anything after that will result in a mis-cast, meaning no spell was invoked and the opponent's spell scores for maximum damage. After a mis-cast, the duelist is still not allowed to use whatever spell they most recently used. That way the mis-cast does not serve as a type of disengage. In the case anyone needs more than 5 minutes for an urgent/special circumstance, please alert the caller, opponent, and the room so they they know you need a few minute and will return asap.

Also in the case that the tourney does run long, if the majority of remaining participants and the caller prefer to finish the tourney on another night, that is fine so long as the tourney is finished within a few days in order to allow the Archmage and challenger enough time to complete the challenge before the new cycle starts on Sunday 04/27. Any questions, you know where to find me. Thanks!))

We were looking at a possible Round Robin tournament after Shadows withdrawal but Rena and Matt stepped in to make sure Double Elimination was in play! We saw a comeback victory from Xanth against Rachael's 4-1 lead and a good load of sudden deaths! But in the end Claire Farron proved herself the Mage of Mages tonight by sweeping the winners bracket and never looking back!

Claire has won the chance to fight Jesse for the title of Archmage! Congratulations!

[Spell]

BUT I WANTED MY BOYFRIENDS TO WIN! No matter.. Mayhaps I will be rid of this cursed title this time.

Our fight will be this coming Wednesday! 11 PM EST! The Keeper of Fire, Shadow, is calling!

[Claire Gallows]

Time adjustment. This'll be occurring at 10 Rhydin Time instead of 11. I'm old and it's past my bedtime.

[DUEL Shadow]

This thing happened, and I was there to witness it!

There were three duels, which were as follows:

DUEL Shadow: Primus 1! Our Archmage's, ah, busty facsimile decides to heat things up, but Claire rains on that parade, with some added power to boot! (FMS/IM) 1-0 Claire
DUEL Shadow: Primus 2! Woah! The Earth Keeper unleashes the full Fury of her element upon Jesse, who responds with some fell magic of her own to get on the board! (EF/NR) 2-1 Claire
DUEL Shadow: Primus 3! Jesse's curvaceous simulacrum tries scaring Claire, who instead opts for mind over matter! (FMW/FFT) 3.5-1 Claire
DUEL Shadow: Primus 4! Jesse takes a trip to the Other Side - Claire's powerful bolt stills finds her, and the first duel goes to Claire! (FMB/FGF)
DUEL Shadow: ((FINAL: Claire Farron .def. Spell, 5-1 in 4))

DUEL Shadow: Secundus 1! Claire unleashes, once more, the full Fury of the Earth! Jesse is prepared for this, however, mentally speaking. (EF/FMW) 1.5-0 Jesse
DUEL Shadow: Secundus 2! Claire's plan to bring down flaming rocks or whatnot upon Jesse is foiled by a heavy dose of fear! (FMS/FFT) 3-0 Jesse
DUEL Shadow: Secundus 3! Claire dips into her dark side and gives Jesse a piece of it, but Jesse edges close to the win with a powerful bolt! (NR/FMB) 4.5-1 Jesse
DUEL Shadow: Secundus 4! Jesse's obscuring fog gives her the win over Claire's powerful mental attack! We're going to a third match! (FMW/FF)
DUEL Shadow: ((FINAL: Spell .def. Claire Farron, 5-1 in 4))

DUEL Shadow: Olympus 1! Well, this time they both are really putting some thought into their openers. Really, really putting some thought into them! No score, though! (FMW/FMW) 0-0
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 2! Claire pours her power into something quite sharp, but it can't cut the ghostly Archmage! (FWB/GF) .5-0 Jesse
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 3! Jesse's turn to hurl a powerful spell - and Claire's turn to defend, as she shields up! (SH/FMB) .5-.5
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 4! Jesse's armor proves strong enough to block the Fury of the Earth Keeper! (EF/AR) 1-.5 Jesse
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 5! Jesse finally unleashes the full Fury of the Archmage, but Claire keeps things close with her own dark blast! (NR/EF) 2-1.5 Jesse
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 6! Jesse tries scaring the Earth Keeper, whose shield is proof against that, too! (SH/FT) 2-2
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 7! The Archmage opts for a large, defensive blaze of some sort, but Claire's extra-powered meteoric assault scores! (FMS/IM) 3-2 Claire
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 8! Claire's spell is sharp, but doesn't stand a chance against Jesse's powerful bolt! We're tied again! (WB/FMB) 3-3
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 9! Claire's mental assault whips her into the lead, reaching past the Archmage's inferno! (MW/IM) 3.5-3 Claire
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 10! Claire extends her lead when she spoooookily avoids Jesse's blades! (GF/WB) 4-3 Claire
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 11! Claire tries to scare her way to victory, but Jesse's defense diminishes the gap! (FT/SH) 4-3.5 Claire
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 12! This must be the breather round, as they both protect themselves! (SH/AR) 4-3.5 Claire
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 13! Casting aside their worries, the Archmage and Earth Keeper both go in for some sharp magic, and both score! (WB/WB) 5-4.5 Claire</B>
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 14! Whatever stuff Claire is trying to drop onto the Archmage comes right back at her; the lead changes again! (MS/RF) 5.5-5 Jesse</B>
DUEL Shadow: Olympus 15! Claire tries to dodge Jesse's dark magic, but is unable to, this time, and the Archmage defends her Tower! (DP/NR)</B>
DUEL Shadow: ((FINAL: Spell .def. Claire Farron, 6.5-5 in 15))

When the smoke cleared, Jesse retained the Celestial Key and her right to dwell in the Citadel of Stars - whether she likes it or not! Well defended, Jesse, and well tried, Claire!
