The Third Tournament of Red Lions: Signups

#1

Post by Galefore » Fri Jun 04, 2010 2:22 am

The Tournament of Red Lions... Doubtless my favorite Gunjin event, and I've never actually competed in it. It's oodles of bloody, gooey fun, and goddammit I love it. So, let's get this started one more time, and see how much carnage we can cause...

Here are the rules, as expertly stated by repster in terms only he could use:
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.

Crap, Yeah! :headbang:


Hmmm... Unlike other tourny rules, I can use Zaidon's transformations. I'm in.

Also, "divisions" huh-wha??

^Eh. We've just sort of always had divisions (though the last Red Lions tourney didn't have them). Doesn't really affect anything; whoever comes out on top of their division fights the guy who came out on top of the other.

Not content with causing one tournament to sputter and die in indecision, I think I'll join this one to get some Loot face-punching in.

Put me in the Alpha division.

I'll toss my name into the Omega basket. I've been looking forward to trying the writing style of the Red Lions for a while now and getting the chance to do so is nothing short of enthralling.

I'm wondering if who battles who is decided randomly or not. If possible, I would like NOT to battle a traveller in the first fight. I hope to at least have a chance of winning in the first round!

It's random selection. If you end up against traveler, I could consider changing it but since everything is supposed to be randomized I kind of think it'd be a little unfair. I dunno. We'll cross that bridge when we reach it. :p

There's no shame in defeat. The satisfaction of reading what comes of the brilliant minds of the Gunjin in either victory, defeat or draw is, in my opinion, worth a hundred beatings and more. Besides, you can't have an axe on your character's neck when the battle hasn't even started-- that's like starting up a game at the 0th life. >:

Hopefully I'll end up against Traveler or something. Not that it'd be easy otherwise, but I'd definitely be up for the challenge if it came up.

Perhaps we should have a time limit rule for the judges this time around? For example, if a judge is late, let's say by a week, then we begin searching for a replacement, but if the original can get their judgement up before we find one they get to stay.
Just a thought, really.

Interesting

I do believe my skill are being exaggerated, but now I will at least have some extra motivation.



I do not plan to disappoint.

A thought that bears repeating, given the still undetermined status of that last tournament we had...
