RE: Grand Tournament of the Fury [Idea tossing about] - Draco Nobis - 07-20-2015
Some updates then!
Update 1: I have decided on a location and time for the event, at least a time that might work. The location for the event will be Behemoth's Dominion in Coerthas Central Highlands. And the current running time will be Friday at 4 PM EST, so our European friends can participate. Time is subject to change. I won't be hosting the first tournament for a while though, as I'm going out of town soon.
Update 2: Update to the rules of Jousting. As Attack and defense rolls may make things difficult, I've decided to operate on a 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' system. Since Jousting is the newest of these events, this system is also subject to change. Using rolls as HP values is also something. So I'll give you the choice. Option one is Rock, Paper, scissors. The two contestants send a /tell to their Judge saying what their choice is. If they choose the same thing, it's a clash and neither of them score a point. If one of them picks a winning option though, they will score a point. After receiving the /tells, the Judge will inform both jousters who the winner was and they can post.
Option 2 is using the /random to determine HP damage done. Both fighters would have 999 hp, and the first to deal 999 damage wins. If there is a tie in damage, there will be a final roll/clash and whoever rolls highest wins. If someone Random rolls a 999 they instantly dehorse their opponent, unless their opponent rolls the same. If two or more rolls from both contestants reach OVER 999 on the same turn, the one with the highest total number wins.
Update 3: The purpose of the Tournament has received a new addition. For IC reasons, the Tournament will also act as a Charity to raise funds to further the repairs of Ishgard. For OOC reasons, people are encouraged to donate Gil or items for the prizes for future Tournaments. After the first tournament concludes, I will decide whether or not it will be something I hold every other month or not, monthly, or once every 3 months. If it's held every other month, or with more time between, the off-month will have a Charity Ball as further celebration and ceremony for the Champions, and to further raise funds for this endeavor.
Update 4: I like the idea of having a final bracket to determine who the Grand Champion is, and it would most likely prove a little more believable than someone who's never used a bow in their life, winning the ranged tournament, or a flimsy armed Mage winning the Jousting competition. I'll consider making it a 4 way battle royale, or 2 pairs of 1v1 duels.
Update 5: To help with congestion, and in the interest of time, there will be signups prior to each event. Contestants are encouraged to come early and announce that they will be competing, so I can make brackets and things early. Once the event has reached it's actual starting time, there will be a short period of time for last minute signups, then the registration will close.
