[Gren Blockman]

I'd like the opportunity to keep my title, so I'll be there.

[Hope]

I'd also like to see Gren defend his title. But on the off chance he doesn't, I'd like to take it next.

Jin is in!

[JewellRavenlock]

I probably should add that I am in this!

Date: Friday, April 12th
Time: 8:30pm
Location: The Outback

The Rules:
This will be a double-elimination tournament that starts within 10 minutes of the announced start time. Seeding will be done according first to the EMS and then in the order of any sign-ups. Participants do not need to be active on the standings at the time of the tournament.



The Setting:
Diamond Quest #XCVII will be taking place in the home of the Duel of Fists: The Outback!

The normal rings will be off-limits for the night though. Instead, fighters will be forced into the variety of specialty rings that the Outback has to offer that just don’t see enough use these days. Seeded high? You get to pick which ring you fight in first. Your choices:

• The Rink
• The Pool
• The Fern
• Styx
• The Pit
• The Bridge
• The Can

For those interested in observing rather than fighting, for anyone who gets eliminated quickly, and for those fools that drink while fighting, there will be a bit of a drinking game going on through the tournament:

• Every time a fighter lands a spinkick, everyone does a Mind Eraser shot
  (Vodka, Kahlua, 7-up)
• Every time a fighter lands an uppercut, everyone does a Hot Damn shot
  (Whiskey, Rum, Vodka, Orange Juice)
• Every time someone lands an extra special uppercut ((FUC)), everyone does an Asbolut Bitch shot
  (Absolut Vodka, Bailey’s Irish Cream, Kahlua, Tuaca)
• Every time someone successfully uses their leg to block a move, everyone does a Kick in the Crotch shot
  (Vodka, Blue Curacao, Cranberry Juice)

The Prizes:
Last fighter standing will earn themselves a shiny Diamond. Oooooo


The second to last fighter standing will receive this ugly shot glass someone gave to me once


All participants will receive a cup of possibly (?) magic dirt and a giant bag of wildflower seeds which may or may not also be magical

[Rachael Blackthorne]

Sent directly to where ever Hope was staying, the morning after the Diamond Quest; a gift basket bearing painting supplies, sweet treats, a pair of glasses, and a bottle of white wine:






With it, a note:

Hope,

Congratulations on your third. Don't forget to take some time for yourself in the wake of your win.
