Ok so, in the past few days and after watching A knights tale over and over, I thought it would be great to have an elly rp tournament, and before you all cry ‘OH NO!’ and beat me with stones and drive me out, hear my idea see the systems I have created and then judge. I just want all the content down now so people can see the work and we can work. The invites would be sent out, as a rp, there will be a topic of Aya and Razarod standing on the battlements of Angar, with 1000’s of exotic white carrier birds, aya will be blessing them from hunters and hawks alike, before being set free into the world to bring news of a tournament to symbolise peace in the continent and to celebrate their alliance also. How you will enter in this tournament, is by reply one single post how you character comes upon the bird and its invite and what tournaments you would be taking part in. Ok nitty gritty over some rules I have come up with for the general thing, while each tournament may have its own rules. GENERAL RULES No Magic will be permitted on the tournament grounds (when I get aya up to 350 posts I will be making an ability to make this so) unless it is a Pas d’armes and then only a spectator will do so... (See below on Pas D’arms tournament and spectator system) You can enter with any amount of characters, even if you are a judge you may enter, however only one purse prize per person, not per character. You may only enter 3 tournaments per character (subject to change) If by chance your character comes up against another one of your characters, you will be pmed by a judge and asked who it is you wish to forfeit, it is then your job to rp so. You need to have abilities and skills to match the tournament you are entering, so there is now point jousting if you are not strong or have never ridden a horse, or fighting if you have never touched a sword etc, however there is a way around this… (see npc loan system) Hmmm that’s all the comes to mind right now TOURNAMENTS Jousting – mounted and armoured combatants rise towards each other, with large wooden poles (jousts XD) to gain point by hitting each other in the head, chest and shoulder with the ultimate goal of unsaddling the opponent. Melee- Archery – A set of targets set at different distances, the aim is to get more points than your opponent, by hitting the rings of the target Swordplay on foot- Like jousting both combatant are armoured and points are awarded from different ‘death blows’ head, shoulder and, chest. If your apponoated in unsworded they loose Spear and shield- Using spear and shield this is much like sword play on foot however this time the combatant can block with shield and their amour is not of the heavy kind by the lighter samurai armour of Ayame Pas D’arms- a last man standing, whose might will be watched by the quality of their rping. The combatant declares that they will be battle any who challenges them at a certain time and place. The crowned may watch and use status effect spells to distract the combatant (see spectator system) Eating competition- at the feats there will be a row of contestants, the first bout will be the last two still eating after an hour numbering the amount of friend chicken that they eat (prepare by pai at Razarod’s request) the finally will be wasabi pea’s to decide the ultimate glutton! Drinking competition- like the eating competition at the feast like the eaten comp it will be the last man/women standing or whoever pukes last starting with sake taken from Ayas private vats and king razarods private stash of phoenix in flames/ razzles own special brew! Savage beast comp- single and team Single one knight faced up against wild ferocious beats, of mythical origin, these creatures will be fierce magic can be used (judges will play the role of beast) Team battle, much like the single battle but bigger great creatures of lore! Bets- want to earn a little coin on how the matches will turn out, want to back you favourite player to take home a title or a single competition, then talk to Kenta he will always be up for making your purse lighter!! Team play- for the non violent combatants, they are giving a chest of props and clothing (randomly selected by the judges) and with two teams of 4 they have to improve a play to entertain the masses. Falconry- falcons on loan from the avery of Ankgar, the birds are sent out to catch their pray and have the bird return to them within the quickets time (see special dice roll rules) chariot racing - Agroup of riders race around a track for 4 laps (see special dice roll rules) Ok so those are the competitions I have thought of I am still up for more suggestions~ and tweaks please suggest here any. NPC LOAN SYSTEM Not every character will be eligible to fight, in every tournament however I have thought up a npc loan system where you will have a choice of 12 knights (6 from ayame and 6 from ankgar) all will different strengths weakeness, to use to attempt to win you the purse, maybe you are a fair maiden and this knight will win it in you honour, maybe you caught this knight sleeping withsomeone he shouldn’t and you are blamailing him… perhaps they owe you debts and this is pay back! Whatever way, choose a knight most subtible and make a rp story of why they are working for you… maybe they are not working for you and you steal their prize after they have won! Either way this way every one can enter… Markus Antoine: Castle Evermore Stable Boy Markus is a boy of 17 years of age who works in Castle Evermore as one of the stable boys. His family is a common one, and he helps support them from the wages paid to him by the king. He stands at a mere 5’6” and is of a skinny build. He has fair skin, shoulder-length brown hair that he ties back into a small rat-tail, and brown eyes. He is an innocent-minded boy, whose biggest crime of his life is taking the horses for an occasional joyride. Abilities: Simple Jousting, Simple Chariot Racing Perry Vistmanda: Artist Perry is an artist of varying mediums who lives in and operates out of Ildri. He is a large man, standing at exactly 6’0” and packing on a lot of weight. He is balding, but his hair was once a luxurious platinum-blond color, which can still be seen in his thick mustache and curly beard. His desire for exotic food, alcoholic beverages, and certain inflammable herbs is matched only by his desire for women, marital status or social class notwithstanding. Despite his many vices, he is a skilled visual artist, can play many instruments quite well, and can even act a bit (although this is more a part of his shady personality than a result of any formal training.) Abilities: Simple Eating, Simple Drinking Joseph Armada: Warrior Joseph is a very solid man, 5’9” and 180 lbs of pure muscle. His head and face are clean-shaven, and his green eyes burn with a fire. He is middle-aged, and works as a trainer for Ankgar’s soldiers, teaching the use of various types of weapons. He leads a military life, just as his father before him, and never backs down from a challenge, always confident in his abilities. Abilities: Simple Sword Fighting, Simple Spear Fighting Roland Kurt: Cavalry Roland Kurt is a member of Ankgar’s largest cavalry regiment, and one of very few elves found in Ankgar’s army. As an elf, he is incredibly tall, standing at a towering 6’4”, and of a very slender yet agile build. His long, smooth, golden locks fall halfway down his back, and his green eyes are piercing and always calm. He is very in touch with nature, and finds horses allow him to ride them very willingly. He is also very talented with a bow. Roland enjoys the spotlight, always eager for a chance to prove himself. Abilities: Simple Archery, Simple Jousting, Simple Chariot Racing Wilhelm Ricardo: Hunter Wilhelm is a young man, aged 21, working for his father, the butcher, in Ildri. Wilhelm uses his bow-and-arrow skills, as well as his skill with training animals, to gather meat for his father. He is very lanky, and is of average height, about 5’8”. His long black hair, when unfettered, falls into his eyes often, but he ties it back for work. His dark brown eyes always seem to be looking somewhere else, avoiding eye contact with everyone. He is eager to make money, wanting a higher class of life for himself. Ablities: Simple Archery, Simple Falconry Barhn Caducan: Macho Man Barhn is a large, powerful man with a taste for the sword, hearty meals, and booze (and believes you cannot have one without the other.) He is 6’2” and built like an ox, using his massive frame to propel a sword with devastating effect. His hair is brown and shoulder length, and his green eyes always look riled up inside. He is the embodiment of a party animal, and always needs money to live that life. Despite this, he is very loyal to the army of Ankgar in which he serves. Abilities: Simple Sword Fighting, Simple Eating, Simple Drinking SPECTATOR SYSTEM Now I am going to go on a talk about the spectator system, a little fun thing I came up with. Each fight you are allowed to post ONE post shouting insults or cheers, maybe to drop a bit of juicy tournament gossip of it being fixed or so and so knight with eyes for only so and so maiden. These generally have no affect on the fight, but could distract the fighter from their task, of give a moral boost. Obviously things like the play will be affected more, since cheers and boos will tell if the team is doing badly or not. With the Pas D’armes, magical spectators may take a dm like prospect, and interfear with the fighter, maybe fixing their feet to the floor or slowing them down, maybe speeding them up. Healing their wounds…. IT is up to the fighter to use these to their advantage and rp well to show off their skill no matter what is thrown at them (see rolling system) Spectator rules. No interference with players, only verbal shouting allowed (unless pas D’arms or a play) Only 4 spectators per tournament, if you want to register to be a spectator at a certain event then it need to be rped with a judge that you are thinking of attending. Hmmm that’s all I can think of right now ROLLING SYSTEM Now to make this different from any other tournament, there will be a rolling system involved… each combatant is given a lottery of 50 numbers that is secret between hat player and the judges… if the number is below 50 then it is most likely a miss, or a failed dodge. If jousting and it is a 10 or below it is like you will be dehorsed (you see where I am going with this?) 51-79 will be a draw, or a lower scoring target, 80-100 roll will result in a hit or a successful bulls eye etc~ This is how we will determine the winner, this not about being the strongest or fastest but reflecting your numbers in the post. The judges WILL know what number you are getting and a failure to represent them will result in an instant disqualification… ABILITY BUFFING SYSTEM couting your abilities from basic to intermediate (basic being worth .5 and intermediate 1) you devide that number by 2. if you have a number 0. number lower than 5 you round your result to nearest whole number while .5 and above you roll it up by one) this number you recive here is you rolling buff which counts for every roll you recive! let me give you a quick example, so counting right now my Aya has 5 basic abilities (not including Genshu's) meaning at 5 x 0.5 = 2.5 and 9 intermediate (9x1=9 XD) adding them both together mean aya recieves a rolling boost of 11.5 rolling it up to 12 so every roll aya recives means she gets to add 12 to every roll. WARNING!!!!!!! your boosts will be recorded and checked, cheaters will have their posts reported to an admin and mod who will mostlikely warn you... and you will be disqualified from the tournament. Ok I think I got down all my ideas! Please feel free to add whatever you like, point out loops holes or problems. Ideas for prizes will be awesome since shadow has granted permission of enchanted weapons, Jewry mounts pet… whatever. You will also receive gold from aya and razarod and a little graphic to use claiming you victor or runner up of the tournament. Also if you are interested in being a judge also post here stating why you think you should have this honour and why you will be AWESOME at it. Finally, I have a special request, to the admin… I was wondering when this takes place if a special forum could be made, for each section, so it’s nice and tidy and judges know where to find fights. My other request is a hidden forum for judges to post up the dice rolls for each fighter, to bee seen by all and to discuss, other little problems OH BEFORE I FORGET I wish an elly award to go with this, but instead of our standard, best rper, sexxiest male etc They will be jouster of the court, fairest lady of the stalls, noblest knight, and biggest cheat! Etc These will be judged on rping ability, so the spectator event can be very useful to this, suggestions for other titles welcomes, I will be posting a full list and the criteria to win next to them, since it will be based on rping ability of the roles more than votes. O everyone has a chance to win something!!!! LIST OF AWARDS AND QUALIFICATIONS. BEAUTY OF THE STALLS - nomineeds must attend at least two events in dress of amazing beauty, they must also recive the attention of a knight NOBELESTS OF KNIGHTS- a competitor who shows the qualities of knighthood, he must be a a down to earth winner and a gracious looser, he must also recive a token from a lady JESTURE OF THE COURTS- the funniest person during the whole tournament, this may be in a competition, at a feast or in a general out and about rp GOSSIP GIRL/GUY- the girl or guy who spreads the best, the juciest and the most damading of rumors CHAMPION OF AYAME- a person who wins (or is runner up) with a npc of ayame CHAMPION OF ANGKAR- same as above but with a npc of angkar CHAMPION OF x EVENT- the winner of xy and z tournament GREEDY GLUTTON- the winner of the eating comp DAMAGING DRUNK- the winner of the drinking competition UNLUCKY- the person who looses the most bets to Kenta BANE OF KENTA'S PURSE- the person who wins the most bets to kenta INVITE OF A DIFFERENT KIND- the most creative person who accepts their invite SUPERIOR ACTOR- the best actor in the play ACTOR OF FAIL- the actor who is TERRIBLE but survvies having rotting beg thrown at them XD MASTER OF THE WING- the most creative with the falcon (winner or not) MASTER OF THE WIND- the most creative with their steed (winner or not) Also who would like to make these medals? I offer it to anyone but if no one wants it I will happily take it upon myself to make….. Let us finish the morrim plot and let the games begin!!!! This is subject to change and is updated regularly, also I will be making it pretty, I will post UPDATED and what is updated when I have done it. |

If this finishes after mid-August, I'd be happy to make award/banner things. Elsewise, you can do them. xD And....none of my characters will be involved with the tournament (except as spectators maybe), mostly because they fail with tournaments, and I've never had the best experience with tournaments in the past and now no longer really want to deal with them. It's not you, it's me. xD |

=O Same boat as Val. Whooo~ Of course, Kit'll be at the tournament (at, not in) because Genshu'll be there. XD As much as she'll hate it. Vin might enter archery if I can be bothered to brave entry. >.> Or to write his ability for it... Edited by Yorishine, Jul 12 2010, 08:46 PM.

this will take plavce after morrim, yes i have heard the tales of bad exsperiences of tournaments, hence the reason i spent two days staring at the wall thinking ways to make sure those exspereince do not happen, i will be tweeking and adding more informationn however as i head to the internet cafe today. i would hope those who do not like the idea of the fighting would take part in the more freestyle parts such as the play, to be honest i made the play with you in mind val~ because i think you would be awesome in it. and entertaining especially if i can get yori to make kit be in the play XD heavily pregnant and hormonal. yes i see intereading afort, despite that the spectator system too will be enjoyable and the feats and other non tournament rps that will follow. maybe val will take part in some bets? as longg as peopleare involved someonway. it doesnt actually have to be, the sword fights at all. it all depends on how creative people are willing to get with this |

Why must people always have me in mind when they think up tournaments? xD I appreciate the love, but I'm currently in a Liron-state-of-mind where I just kinda wanna lurk in my little hole. But. We'll see. I can't do anything until I get back from China anyway. Liron might do some sort of play. Maaaaaaybe. Val's life is kinda in chaos at the moment, so I'll get back to you on how things go with him. One question:You said this was after Morrim. I'm assuming it's sort of official/canon/things that occur here actually occur in timeline? If so...how are the play teams formed? Form-your-own-teams or get shoved into a team? AND FEI, YOU'RE NEVER TOO NEW TO JOIN. GO. |

yes, thiis is a sub plot, to introduce elly into a time of peace, after being war torn, destorryed and generalEffed up~ it will welcome elly into a new era where it rises from the ashes and recoveres from the dark conquest the morrim plots~ as for how the teams woill beformed depending on entrants, i may allow you to form your own teams or for the sake of improv i will draw names out a hat *nod* i am slowly waking up as i type this, so let me eleborate, aya will move from the coast of soto to angkar, where the tournament will start, and the end of it a champion(s) will be growned, so yes there is a time line, since i <3 them |

I think that abilities for a certain event, and the level of the ability, could perhaps create some sort of bonus added to the roll? Nothing huge, so the people who haven't been here forever still have a fair shot, but just a small bonus as a reward to the people who have been around here forever posting? This also serves to make it more realistic: A character who is supposed to be well-trained SHOULD have a better chance than someone who isn't as practiced. Likewise, a character whose abilities affect other skills negatively should perhaps have a penalty figured in, if applicable. Edited by Yangin, Jul 13 2010, 10:02 PM.

ok i read this and i went away and did somethinking, i do not have the time ed to go through everyone abilties and mark down who has what and who doesnt. whos abilities affect negatively and who doesnt. so i came up with a simplar plan. basic and intermediat abilities will give a +1 +2 or +3 bonus, and i am scrapping the D100 for the D20 instead. yet i am still working out the calculations on how exactly this will work. and working out the calculations for it. yes alyth love for the moment they will effect a hit or miss. but for archery it will also detimin what ring you hit. it seems the dice rolls affect each tournament differently. so i shall need to think this through carefully |

Seems fair enough. Either that or +1 for intermediate and +2 for Advanced, due to the fact that everyone has simple abilities. But that's just an idea. |
