But it -is- also your rules.

No matter what though if there's a so-called prize, my highlander is interested.

People can kick if they want. They can WWE for all I care. Unarmed is what matters.

Unarmed! Understood.

One thing I will caution about weekday events and based in my experience with GS and the ball.

The timing of the event may not coincide for many people. If you do it in the week, you run the risk of catching people still at work or those heading into that time where they need to sleep. I've seen GS go into 10-11pm PDT, running more than 2 hours, maybe 3. That's late for just me on the pacific, that may be -way- too late for others if it's a weekday

...I already do this every week at the Grindstone.

I suppose I can do it twice a week.

My character is a fighting enthusiast and would be more than happy to attend something like this.Maybe you can do it in the style of a long-term fighting tournament that lasts about a month?

Like...eight fighters. Each round of the competition lasts a night, so by the time that event is over on the first night, four folks move on to the next week. Those two fights happen then-- with something in place to make them last longer and be more engaging/intense, then the winners get to fight for the grand prize the next week (in a mega epic suspenseful beat-fest). You can probably up it from eight to twelve, depending on how long you want a 'season' of fighting to last. That way it stays intimate and very much a spectator event -- a short and manageable one too! 

That's just an idea I had floating around, though!

Also, your time looks decent. I'd be able to attend a two-three hour thing at that rate.

I'll certainly attend. Especially because C'kayah can corruptly make some money by bribing the appropriate fighters... ;D

I like your time Otto! I think it might also allow non NA players to join in?

My only concern about this is having people who want to fight every week (IronSea probably one of them) maybe not getting their ass-beating quota in for the week if they get knocked out of contention for the event after week 2 for example.

Maybe if there is a laddered and tiered month long style event we can have side fights for smaller pots to keep the entertainment going.

Also I guess another concern would be repeat attendance. If we are in week three dealing with semi-finals and someone no-shows for whatever reason, thats a default win and sadly no fighting then.

Hm

I think Otto brought up a good point there, though I did like the sound of a tournament spanning a month or so.

Sometimes people can't make the next week for some reason or another. No show = disqualification = auto win. That might lead to no fight at all with spectators wondering where the hot highlanders are the fight is.

Since my only experience with matching and boxing is from Mitsuru Adachi's boxing manga I'm out on the rest of tournament making. (All those things I never learned for starcraft tournaments boo) But it sounds like you could have the grand tournament event going on, and little side small matches can also take place. I think that's what you said? My inexperience with such stuff shows.

Speaking of highlander bare fights.

<.< >.>

Turkish Oil Wrestling. *nod*
No?
... ok.

As of the most recent edits, I still like this idea!

..Not sure if I'd be able to make the time though, since I may or may not be getting into a DnD game with some friends at the same time. (If I did, I would likely still have a computer, but splitting attention like that isn't really fair to either party. But we shall see!)

also, yes Kage. Basically Turkish Oil fighting. Needs more Highlander.

Edit: It should most definitely be in the Thaumaturges' Guild. Gods know they could use the excitement!

...or one of the pubs in Coerthas.

...I'm one-fourth Turkish. I feel more or less obligated to attend now.

You big fellows don't mind a measly midlander, do you?

I must admit that whenever I see berrod's pics with those edits it's all I can think of. Turkish. Oil. Wrestling.

We will actually get that nearly impossible RP, Osric? 
There's clearly a crow that a certain mercenary should talk to.

As long as you keep your pants on,  I think the fight'll be good.

I'm excited about this event!

I like the grindstone, but I think some of the fun and flair gets pushed aside because people just care about who wins. It would be fun to have a bit of a more... theatric and involved RP fighting deal.
