Since Galefore seems to not have put this up, I might as well.

Let's start with one simple thing that should be mentioned. Wyborn. He came up with it, not me or Galefore. Understood? Yes? Good. No? To bad.

Second. This ain't no sissy playing ground. That silk glove over your hand? Take it off. Now. That or soak it in gasoline and set it on fire. This tournament is not about who write better. It's about raw vicious combat prowess.

Repster stabs Galefore in the face. Nets you as much as Repster smoothly ran over to Galefore, more of a glide then a run. He feinted to the left, and while Galefore's guard was down Repster's dagger when straight for the face. Repster grinned threw his new mask of blood.

Now, that may or may not have been a slight exaggeration, but you get the point. I repeat. This is not about pretty witting, this is about making the other guy hurt. Of course, there are some limits where you just end up godmodding, but common sense should prevent that. On to more specific rules.

1. Transformations are allowed. If your character can go Super Saiya-jin, or turn into a giant thing that's like a weird hybrid between a man and a bear and a wolverine, or just whatever, you can do it. You just have to carry over damage between forms.If you found yourself with a scar above your eye, that scar remains even if you become a werewolf.

2. No major healing. If someone slices open your throat and you seal it to stop bleeding, that’s legal. If you lose your arm and have the ability to reattach it (for instance, if John Smith lost his arm he’s screwed.) The only thing is that you can’t heal the damage done to your body. If you lose your arm and reattach it, you probably won’t have that much mobility with that arm, and it will hurt like Hell. Be realistic and fair when healing above all else.

Note: I'm well know for having been doing that since my early days. It's a delicate balance between part of a character, and being cheap.

3.All battles will occur in the same topic. Standard procedure for these things since the first tournaments. R-18's original format has worked fine for that past years, they're no reason to change it.

4. Whoever posts first for the fight gets to choose the battlefield. That means that if someone wants wants to fight in the land of funk, then that's where you're fighting. Deal with it.

5. If you win, you will have the opportunity to finish off your enemy Mortal Kombat style. After the judges announce the winner, the host/one of the judges/me/whomsoever job it's gonna end up being will say when the executions will be carried out. At that point, you can kill your opponent - you don't have to, but it is encouraged, very encouraged. Don't worry if your character is killed; as with everything like this, character deaths are not permanent and don't carry over between topics unless you want them to.

I do believe I've covered everything.

I'm in. Do we use the same character throughout?

If I remember, the answer is "only if you want to."

And healing is okay if you lose something in return - like it badly fatigues you.

Remember it's all about fighting: you balance your damage dealt with the damage you take, and so on....

I have been waiting for this! so I must participate! if you allow me.

Joining.

Shall I break out the ale now? or do I have to wait 'till after the tournament?

Guess ill join.

I'm in!

I do believe I shall be a judge, as I stated in the announcements topic. I would really like to fight in this, but I need a short break from organized tourneys. I believe being a judge will suffice until next year.

Thanks, repster, for posting this. I was in the process of tracking down the rules, but it seems you have done well in my stead.

I wanna start now!

Patience, I'll tear you apart as soon as we have ten more combatants and two more judges.

Remember this, judges, as it is important:

Judges in this tournament don't give number grades. They just say who won.

Makes things much simpler.

I'm in! Sign me up!

Hrmmmmm....... This definitely isn't my style of combat... but this may be a way to get over my fear of being cheap. We'll see how it goes. Count me in.

I'm really thinking about joining this, just for poops and giggles.

I totally need to get in on this. I'm in.

Scrip! Where ya been man? Welcome back!

I've been checking up on this place now and again, I like to read some of the old topics for inspiration because they're so awesome. And to see about the activity - I'm actually somewhat surprised to see there's blood pumping in this vein. Blood still to be spilled, even, if you're into that kind of thing. And thanks for the welcome. Still don't know if I'm signing up for this thing, I'd be more into the NLBFT, if that wasn't nearly over and done with.

I WOULD be a judge, except that I'll be doing the Ten Towers when the NBLFT Tourney is over

In general, I would like to have some sort of involvement with this, because the title "Tournament of the Red Lions" kicks that much ass. Though I'm not sure this is my type of battling, nor am I sure that I would be a sufficient "keeper of the law." Hmm... give me a few days to mull this over, okay?

Scripture. Join. Now. Or in like June when then next NLBFT comes around.

Bomby. I'll give you 14. That's near enough three weeks to my mistake of not putting this up on the first to start the solid tourney schedule going.

A month to sign up. Three to fight. At a week a round and a week to judge with some time to spare, everything should be running smoothly.

'nother thing Bomby. You could always simply be the host. Post things the topics and such. You most likely have a more stable time to do such then I do. Lord knows I am up from somewhere around... any hour of the day. Sometimes 6 am... sometimes 6 pm. Not an exaggeration by the way. In the last month I've gotten up at 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6. Not in that order.
