The regional population of Wysteria swelled significantly as visitors poured in for the opening ceremony. The small team from Canada was significantly outnumbered by the contingents from Texas, Yggdrasil, 10000 Islands and Wysteria itself. A cheerful, almost riotous spirit prevailed, as all were cheered through the streets.


The games kicked off with the swordsmanship contest. The official commentator had this to say about the Canadian entrants...


Quote:
 

*It seems Devil Heart Swords (Canada) Competitor, Whip Devine was asked to compete twice due to her Weight issues. Judges only stated that with that size of a bone structure there was a debate whether they should allowed her to compete at all – wondering if one swing of her Sword will slash her competitors skulls.

* Suffices to say that it didn’t help her much. Both matches: First was against Jantis bond from Mutanatia, 10k Islands. Divine coach stated she was expecting to take down all the male players by her
Sensual Seductive Aura but then she met Jantis Bond, a petitlish light figured female who wasn’t really into seduction & Whip Divine Lost.

Then came the second match against Lt. Commander Montgomery Scott from Trecdom, Texas, a fine fencer and a swordsman who left Divine in a confusing state when he hit her 10 times in less than 2 minuets. The Judges were simply mesmerized by his quick feminine moves...




* In the Second round its worth mentioning the combat between: Toshio Demanzana of Almonaster Nuevo (Canada) and Arano Jira of Vrolondia (Yggdrasil)....*

* Both competitors ,rather big in size, were hovering over each other like wasps in an honey contest.....*

*Toshio was first to hit Arano gaining 4 Ace points but was knocked down a second later in a Cardio Swing to the chest by Arano which followed by Arano Back Flip swing, leaving Toshio in a an Open Shield Defense stance...............
That didn't last long as Toshio gained strength immediately resolving to a knee crash movement while swinging the sword against Arano shoulder hitting him for 3 points and winning the battle...*


Manzana then lost a close but unexciting match-up in the quarter-final to Sergey Peruzović of Byzesion.

Final results were
Gold (Jantis Bond - Mutantia, 10000 Islands)
Silver (Duncan Idaho - Woonsocket, 10000 Islands)
Bronze (Vaculatestar, Texas)




Medal Table
10000 Islands : 1,1,0
Texas : 0,0,1

Today's action came in the archery contest, where Devil Heart was expected to do well.

There were a number of incidents in the early rounds, including..
Quote:
 

* Then came the case of Maria Olazawa from The Zombie hunters of Almonaster Nuevo who decided to use some arrows she bought yesterday at the crafting fair....
& ended up piercing the golden breastplate armor of Baroness Luertha De Gent whose family donated the Olympic Park…


Needless to say, she did not advance.

Ariel Stormwalker of Wilde Mustanges did well on the first round, but was eliminated in the second.

Carwen Fairchild of Devil Heart made it through the preliminary rounds to reach the shoot out. She scored a creditable 3 bulls-eyes, but the 3 medallists each scored 5. After a final match to resolve the ie, the results were...

Gold : Vaculatestar (Texas)
Silver : Vrolondia (Yggdrasil)
Bronze : Barrarabia (10000 Islands)





Medal Table
10000 Islands : 1,1,1
Texas : 1,0,1
Yggdrasil : 0,1,0

Such a shame about those arrows Maria bought - someone sold her something dodgy I reckon, she is a brilliant shot and her eyesight is renowned across the gaming world.

Congrats to the land's wonderful Ariel - no surprises there that she got through so very well on the first round. Actually I expected her to take out gold for us.
However, on reading over the notes on Ariel's life recorded here by the land, Ariel does have many more pressing matters on her mind right now than a simple game of point and shoot.


....oh, and I realise Idunn and Carwen are peas in a pod, easy to mix them up, but I believe it was Idunn Apples that managed by some fluke to make it through to the third round

In the Jousting tournament today, both Almonaster Nuevo and Devil heart successfully negotiated the first round. (Wild Mustanges had understandably declined to enter.)

In the second round, Almonaster Nuevo lost out to Holy Smokers. Devil Heart progressed after an interesting match...
Quote:
 

* 3rd match worth mentioning was between Babe Amour from Devil Heart and Holy Smokers rider.
It seems what Miss amour lacked in height and body mass she compensated in Strategy. Miss Amour in a rather unique Pink Plate armor, was able to escape twice a lance knock from Holy smokers rider
which made him hit her back shoulder and therefore losing the first round, then she was able to unhorse him in the second round and with a bend like a leaf method slid her sword next to his throat...
making him surrender and winning second round. The 3rd round was a simple avoiding tactic by her for first charge and knocking her opponent on second charge which granted
the 3rd win and moving to next round match…..*



Canadian revenge against Holy Smokers came in the next round...

Unfortunately, Canadian hopes were dashed in the final...
Quote:
 

Unfortunately for Babe Amour (from Devil Heart), her Petit figure and pink armor didn’t help her this time as Trecdom was able to dodge several of her lances attacks
and while she was able to break her lance, granting her 5 points and breaking the tip of her second lance granting her 3 points,
Trecdom was then in a sweep attack unhorsed her winning the first round. The second and round he lost due to 2 shattering lances from Amour side....
but he surprised on 3rd round with breaking the tip of the lance and unhorsing, landing him the win and The Bronze Medal.


Results
Gold : Lee Wallin from Ayrith (Surdra, 10000 Islands)
Silver : Max Transom (Mutanatia, 10000 Islands)
Bronze : (Trecdom, Texas)

We would more object because it is closer to preparing for battle, If you follow the same types of rules as for the cross regional games, the horse is at little risk and for it it's similar to a race.

Today's event was spear throwing.

The team from 10000 Islands were in blistering form, further extending their lead in the medal table.

Silver : Andrew Ustik ( Frostevilla, Wysteria)
Silver : Sir Francis Jujtuk (Duckyian Empire, 10000 Islands)

In the archery (distance) competition, Canadian expectations were focused on Carl Walker of Wild Mustanges. True to form, he made it through both preliminary rounds, but seemed a little tired was not at his best in the final. Carwen Fairchild of Devil Heart, on the other hand, had saved her strength and made a very creditable 6th place.

Kiujin Garsia of Almonaster Nuevo had a bad day, and stomped off in disgust, having failed to meet this unexpectedly imposed minimum distance in the first round.

Results
Gold : Alyssa Green(Dendor, 10000 Islands) - GR
Silver : Clarisa Fergen (Herzil, Wysteria)
Bronze : (Amandil, Texas)





Medal Table
10000 Islands (5,3,5)
Yggdrasil (1,2,0)
Texas (1,1,3)
Canada (1,0,1)

In the swimming, Canada was not highly ranked, and the results bore this out. Julie Summers of Wild Mustanges was one of 12 who did not finish the gruelling course. Leviathan Swoon and Sami Nageru were in among the main pack, 10-15 minutes behind the leader.


Results
Gold : Maya Buttreeks (Free guns for all, 10000 Islands) - GR
Silver: Nina Li (Ater Nox, 10000 Islands)
Bronze : Dr Leonard McCoy (StarTrek, Texas)
