The Overlord Grant

Post by Xeric Mues »

I suppose I should wait until the standings are updated, but I'm not one to stand on ceremony.

By the letter of the rules Rakeesh couldn't award this cycle's Overlord Grant without defeating me, he didn't. Cas was granted last cycle's Overlord Grant. I have a Grant to award to someone.

I will hold a tournament on August the 6th at 9:30(est) in the Annex to determine who will receive this cycle's grant. The following list is the particulars and rules of this tournament.

#1 As Overlord, I will select three people to compete in this tournament.

#2 Each Baron will be allowed and is encouraged to select one person to compete in this tournament.

#3 This will be a single elimination tournament.

#4 In the interest of fairness, each contestant will be granted/limited to one fancy per duel.

#5 The winner may decline the Grant, however, the winner may not pass the Grant on to another. Should the winner decline the Grant, it will go to the runner up and so on, and so on.

Once per cycle, the Overlord may grant to a duelist of any rank Commoner through Warlord the right to challenge any Baron of the duelist's choosing. The Overlord must declare his or her choice of duelist on the public message board. The Overlord may not grant the challenge right during the period starting 14 days prior to the Warlord tournament and ending with the challenge match between the Overlord and the tournament winner

Xeric,

(Barons please reply no later than the 5th either by E-mail or PM)

It seems that I have an unused invitation and I'm open to suggestions on how to give it out.

The answer has come to me. I will pick a random duel from this week and award the winner of that duel my unused invitation.

Funny. Karen Wilder is worth manure. My second proposal is to ban Karen Wilder from the Duels as an annoying person, who contributes nothing but headaches.

Intruiging.

By this argument, would you not be proposing to ban yourself, as well, as your contributions and worth are notably equal?

My three picks for the tournament will be: Rena, Rakeesh Sah Tarna, and Tormay Eludes.


I'm still waiting on Bran and Damien to respond with their choices. Once I get the names of all of the participants I will post the matches for the first round.

Templar,

I am saying that if Karos believes you to be worth manure, an annoying person, and one who contributes nothing but headaches, then yes, he would be your equal as he has the value of manure, is an annoying person, and also is one who contributes nothing but headaches.

If those are, indeed, fighting words, I do not shy away from battle.
