Stories from RhyDin & The Rings

Almost half full! Keep'em coming!

Well, we've got 32! Halfway there!! Come on folks, get in while it's hot!

I would like to participate but without event parameters I'm afraid I could be anywhere within Rhy'Din city during so. Might I inquire the anticipated event calendar?

Upon locating the rules of this tournament I realize with my varied schedule I will be hopelessly unable to participate. Grace and valor to all champions in their endeavor. I can only wish to meet some of you in the ring.

I want in....cross my heart and hope to....well knock you out of the way with a good hammer thrust.

Let's go folks! If your name isn't on the list, you haven't registered yet! Plenty of time to get the entries in, but the sooner you do it, the sooner everything can be set up!

I will remind everyone, once more, that posting here saying "I want to enter" is not a valid registration. Please send a note to me with the required information (PM User name, email, character name to G) in order to be entered.

I have noticed a couple people have posted here and have not sent me a note.

Also, remember that the first round of this tournament is two weeks long! So you have extra time to get ready for that! Every round after the first is only one week long during only valid DoS dueling times(Including Fight Nights.)

Thanks!

26 spots left!

19 slots left! Better hurry and get your entries in before time runs out! Deadline is the 22nd! One Week left!

Slots are filling up! Only a few left! Remember to follow the procedure for registering because simply replying here that you would like to enter DOES NOT constitute an entry. Today is the last time for courtesy reminders. If I don't get it in the proper way(PMs) you're not going to be considered an entry.

Where as I have the greatest respect for the Harker family, I am of the opinion that the duels are no place for a child.

I am not sure it is fair to expect that others will be willing to swing a sword at a five year old. Is there no age requirement?

~Ellisa Morgan

Overlady Morgan,

If there was such an age requirement in place, then the current Talon holder, Mystic, would not have been allowed to enter the event, as she is I believe ten years of age, or possibly younger.

Physical age does not always equal maturity.



--Rachael Wynter

With all due respect to Overlady Morgan, no age limit was noted. The most recent Talon winner is about age 9, an age limit would likely exclude her as well. It should be noted that some of the younger duelists such as Maggie, Mystic, and Errtu carry themselves with greater respect to the sport and its traditions than some of their elders. This is likely because they are still innocent of the politics that surround it.

This subject was debated many years ago, when I first entered the ring. The general consensus was that some beings would be disallowed because they appear to be human children. Appearances can be deceiving.

It seems that some people have forgotten that I took part in TDL (season 515, 516, and 517 ) at a very young age and held the rank of Grandmaster at four. One TDL captain required that I be accompanied by an elder family member, to verify that consent had been given, and that I wear armor. So shall it be with my daughter.

I'll hit a 5 year old. They gotta learn sometime. It'll teach them that the rings are no place for kids.


I wonder how far a 5 year old will fly from a golf swing with the Hammer...
