The Midnight Sun Tournament (Beta Test)

Post by DUEL Claire »

The Midnight Sun Tournament
(Beta Test)

ONE NIGHT ONLY

Saturday January 31st, 8 PM ET
Grab your friends because Twilight Isle is seeking 4 teams of 4 people each to take part in the magic team event to end all spell slinging team events. As the Nexus shifts climb the Staircase of the Stars to cast in special celestial rings that will only come out to play on this one night. Along the way, top up on the extra mana that fills the air and duel like a Mage.

On the line are 5 WoL to each member of the winning team. Whichever individual spellcaster racks up the most wins on the night will also be rewarded with the Spirit Staff. Each team that registers by Friday, January 30th at 8 PM Rhydin Eastern Time will receive 1 bonus WoL per teammate. A line up of super secret prizes also awaits duelists who fulfill the will of the stars throughout the night so anyone can walk away a winner.
Please use the registration forms and post your signups below:

Team Name:
Team Captain:
Team Members:

[[OOC Information:

Final format is TBD based on caller availability but will be either round robin or double elimination. Each round will be 4v4 for each matchup and team captains will be responsible for submitting their 4 person “lineup” order 5 minutes prior to the start of each round. The team with the most points at the end of the round (maximum of 5 per person per win, 4 per person per loss) wins. Each member of the winning team takes home 5 WoL plus any applicable pre-sign up bonuses.

We are limiting registration to 4 teams at this time while we test out this format. Additional teams may sign up as alternates in the event any team needs to bow out. We may be able to accept additional teams beyond the initial 4 if the response is big enough. There will also be a thread in the OOC forum here: ISO Team! for those seeking teams.

One character per player, please. Much like other tournaments, in the interest of keeping things moving as smoothly as possible, 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.

All entrants will duel at Mage rank and will select their mage spell at the start of the tournament with no changes throughout.

Questions? PM DUEL Claire. ]]

[[Mage spell selections, individual points, team points and brackets can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/p3eonq3.]]

In Round One, we had Show Me on the Doll (AKA Team Mouthful) versus The Revengers and Magikarpet Ride versus Vanguard (formerly FIST). Team Mouthful and Vanguard both came out on top and send The Revengers and Magikarpet Ride to the consolation bracket.

Round Two, Vanguard topped Team Mouthful in the Winner's bracket and earned themselves a nice little reprieve. Magikarpet Ride beat out The Revengers despite Juliane Smith landing a bonus for winning only with offense. With a tied score, the first slotted fight was the deciding match and Magikarpet Ride progressed to fight Team Mouthful.

Round Three, Vanguard got to enjoy the view and eat some snacks. Pretty cool. Magikarpet Ride steamrolled Team Mouthful, including an utter face wrecking of KC Chae by Hitmonlee (so cute!).

Round Four, Magikarpet Ride squeaked out a narrow win over the experienced Vanguard team to reset the bracket and take us to the Grand Finals (AKA Round Why Didn't We Do This Round Robin). The final round consisted of a complete rematch of the Round One lineup between Vanguard and Magikarpet Ride but this time Bob and his poke-cuties came out on top!

Each member of Magikarpet Ride goes home with 5 WoL for their cute little records and I need to find myself one of those Mew things. Too cute. All four teams [[including absent members]] take home 1 bonus WoL for pre-registering, because hey thank you for making my job easier!

After some discussion and review, MVP will be awarded to Hitmonlee of Magikarpet Ride. Hitmonlee gets the Spirit Staff until the end of the cycle. Juliane Smith of The Revengers will take home 4 elemental fury gems (one for each of the elemental towers) that can be used through the end of the cycle.

Other prizes throughout the night include:
-One Corgi puppy for Rena and a tabby kitten for Gren for saying the name of Twilight Isle's newest Keeper of the Spirit Tower, Jesse.
-Lem and Gren both got a prize for answering one of my trivia questions correctly. Lem took home some pretty B.A. zombie cookie cutters and Gren got an inflatable unicorn horn. Divine providence? I think so.
-KC Chae got a pretty cutie baby spider monkey for answering another of my trivia questions
-Hope, Rena and Gren also took home trivia prizes; Hope got a galaxy in a jar (useless but pretty cool!), Rena got an entire yard of chocolate, and Gren got a fruit basket.
-Hope, Juliane, and Tara all get bars of soap for their potty mouths
-Mew got a Lem bodypillow (super comfy!) for beating the esteemed Archmage by 3 points or more
-Hitmonlee got pixie sticks and a Celestial Gem (to be used by the end of the cycle) for shutting their opponent out
-Taneth and Bob both get a prize for doing the most cheering. They can choose between a french fry maker, cotton candy machine, or gumball machine. Come pick them up from Wizzbang the Goblin on the isle, he'll wait at the bar for you.
-Grace gets a pair of tricera-hi-tops ( http://www.dudeiwantthat.com/style/shoe ... -13820.jpg) for having the most hair
-Vinny gets an inflatable beard (http://cdn.dodoburd.com/wp-content/uplo ... -Beard.jpg) to make up for his lacking hair
-Charlie gets a mini bonsai tree (https://33.media.tumblr.com/38a6c228638 ... 1_1280.jpg) because it's cute and zen and stuff.

And because I had leftover prizes.





[[Thanks to everyone who took part or came out to watch and to DUEL Sandy for helping call. If anyone didn't get a prize, message me. I've got plenty in my bag of tricks.]]

Bobby dear,

I've just gotten off the phone with your doctor and he is concerned about the diabetes. We are returning your cotton candy maker for a vegetable juicer!
