Halloween Havoc Tournament

Post by DUEL Apple »

Image
Ghosts and Goblins alike are out in full force this month. The Arena will be taking on the theme of Halloween until November! Stay clear of the cobwebs, witches brews, and other such spooky things. Also... if you see something moving in the shadows... it might not be your eyes playing tricks on you.

Halloween Havoc is in town!

All Commoner through Grand Masters! Look here!

The KING OF THE RING tournament will take place October the 29th at 8:30 PM (EST)!

The Headless Horseman, who is not made of straw by the way, looking down from the sky boxes has deemed only EIGHT duelists may enter. How, oh how, will you be able to secure yourself a spot?

By sign ups? Oh-ho-ho, no.

By dueling. Yes, children of the night, you will have to put your life ( ahem, not really ) on the line to please the Headless Horseman! Duelists must duel in Swords during the next two DoS weeks. Each week, after a duelist fights TWO DUELS, they will be rewarded a ticket. On Monday, October the 27th, there will be a drawing to see which eight duelists will be allowed to enter the KING OF THE RING tournament.

To the eight who get their hands on a photoluminescent ticket to the King of the Ring tournament. You will want to go shopping since this tournament will be of the masquerade type. And please! No telling anyone who you are. The masks will come off soon enough when a participant is thrown out of the ring!

The prize of this tournament?

Not only will you be crowned the next Pumpkin King ( or Queen ) of the Ring, but the winner will also gain a CHALLENGE GRANT to be used against any of the Barons!

Image

Second place might not get a fancy crown.. but they will also be rewarded a challenge grant for their valiant effort!

Both grants MUST be used on either the 30th or the 31st of October! Or else they will burn into nothing but green ash. These two grants will supersede any grace period that a Baron may be under.

Sign up below if you're interested in acquiring tickets over the next two weeks!


[ OOC: One player per entry.

For those who are not familiar with "King of the Ring", it is the Duel of Swords equivalent of a MegaBrawl.

Each participant in the King of the Ring will be allowed 4 fancies.

Yes, this will also count toward the King of the Ring achievement.

The 8 Duelists will need to make a "Costume" name for the Tournament.
Example Screen Names: Costume Kitty, Sexy Nurse, Spandex Ninja. ]

Provided there is a lack of comments about my nationality's maid costumes, I will attend.

--- OOC Information ---

For the KoTR rule set, please look HERE

There are a few changes to the format.

1. Rules 8 and 9 can be disregarded. Each player will start with a max of four fancies at the start of the match.

2. Rule 5's time limit of sixty (60) seconds to enter a move after a round is called will not be enforced at the start. All I ask is that participants don't linger too long on their choices.

3. HP changed from 8 to 10.

Quick Tips

Moves will be submitted by PM's. Please submit them like this example,

Example: 1. Thrust ( Targets Name ) / Low Cut

Each player starts out with 10 HP.
Each player starts out with 4 fancies.

Ring Out ( Or Knock Out ) Moves: Stop Hit, Thrust, High Cut, Slash, or any offensive/defensive move that is fancied. Ring Out's only works the round *AFTER* an opponent is brought to 0 HP.


KoTR Rules may be edited at a later date for any new tournament using the format.

After NINETEEN rounds and with THREE Ring Outs under her belt. Jin Chae, dressed as Dark Link, is the new QUEEN OF THE RING!

Both Jin and Hope, who dressed up as a Spooky Ghost, received their challenge grants! Remember, these *MUST* be used on the 30th or the 31st, if not they will become worthless!

Thanks everyone for coming out and have a happy Halloween!
