YesGood Posted October 2, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 2, 2013 So it's that day again! The Grindstone Tournament will be held, as usual, at the bridge in Central Thanalan beside Fesca's Wash at 10 pm EST. The entrance fee will be 100 gil per head in order to enter and donations if you're feeling generous. If you intend to -enter- the tournament tonight, please mention as much in this thread. I would like to get a vague idea of who might be coming~ Our current champion is Fystrael Abylstyrwyn. Link to comment
Karaan Posted October 2, 2013 Share #3 Posted October 2, 2013 I may be there, but I won't be in the event this wednesday, maybe next week Link to comment
Fen Posted October 2, 2013 Share #4 Posted October 2, 2013 Fen will be present, but as he will be sparring with Sio, tonight... it seems unlikely he'll enter this go 'round. Either too tired or too... comatose to participate. Link to comment
YesGood Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted October 2, 2013 Fen will be present, but as he will be sparring with Sio, tonight... it seems unlikely he'll enter this go 'round. Either too tired or too... comatose to participate. We can go the route of /roll combat if you'd like! I'm sure Fen could take Sio, and I'm open to it happening although admittedly... Yarr. I have only recently gotten over this feeling that Sio should lose pretty often. Don't want her to win all the time but it occurs to me, as I've said before, that losing all the time doesn't look too good either, amirite? So I would feel comfortable letting it down to rolls and so long as she doesn't get stabbed in the neck a third time, I'm sure Fen'll be good to go. She always does her worst amount of damage on the verge of death. To clarify for everyone, we need at least four willing participants to hold the event. Goes thusly: [align=center]Fystrael v Player 1 Player 1 v Player 3 Player 1 v 2 | Player 3 v 4 [align=left]Not to say Player 1 and 3 will win, but for example's sake. So the same can be done with any even number of entrants, maybe even an odd number though it can become slightly more difficult as one person won't have to fight on the lowest tier. Healers and spectators as always are welcome. Gambling is accepted and THIS time, if you feel like putting gil on fights, I'll make sure it all gets collected and distributed properly per fight. May need one of our lovable, trustworthy members who has a character on top of things like this to help out as I will have to keep Sio's eye on the fight. Possibly Khyros?[/align] [/align] Link to comment
cuideag Posted October 2, 2013 Share #6 Posted October 2, 2013 I'd really love to spectate one of these, if that's alright! Don't know if I will be able to sneak over there tonight but still! Sounds really neat. Link to comment

Sounds really neat. We love spectators! Honestly, the side RP, to me, is just as fun to watch as the fights themselves. And the fights themselves, especially when gambling comes into play, can just add more conversation topics to the side RP. Thus far, I've yet to see any of our tourney competitors complain that the side RP is too distracting for them. They've done marvelously to date and I absolutely adore them for it. I think it really helps give them a bit of practice conducting RP in a large group, and I hope they feel that way as well. Link to comment

She always does her worst amount of damage on the verge of death. Fen tends to be a much better fighter when equipped with his claws rather than the hora (which he has unfortunately been confined to in past fights), as he has to rely less on elbows and knees and more on the actual weapons, so it should definitely be interesting! Rolls sound fine, to make things fair! I'm kinda in the same boat as you, Fen keeps losing his fights, two out of three of which were not dependent on dice, when I feel like he should be... I dunno... better. Not godlike. But better. Link to comment
YesGood Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted October 3, 2013 I'm gonna be on closer to 10 pm EST when the event starts, sadly. Baby with fever are baby with fever. Thus far, still no real count on how many competitors there might be. Q_Q Why is always like dis?! Link to comment
Lost River Posted October 3, 2013 Share #10 Posted October 3, 2013 Poor baby. But in itself, also a good thing. When a child gets sick and then recovers, your child will be stronger. Link to comment

It'll take a couple minutes before I can go back into my room with my computer but I'll be on soon. Link to comment
K'dath Posted October 3, 2013 Share #14 Posted October 3, 2013 This is the third time I have been completely thrown off by Eastern time zones! The first time I figured it out before being two hours late though. Link to comment
Levy Posted October 3, 2013 Share #15 Posted October 3, 2013 This sounds like a fun event! I however wont be participating this time. I have to study for an exam. >_> How often are these held? I would like to maybe enter one some time. Link to comment
YesGood Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share #16 Posted October 3, 2013 So sorry, X, sweetheart! If you join the Shell, it might help you out! We hold these every Wednesday and Saturday. On the semi-finals now. Link to comment
K'dath Posted October 3, 2013 Share #17 Posted October 3, 2013 I showed up for a little while, haha. I'd only woken up about ten minutes before it all started and my poor brain couldn't handle the rapid chat scrolling till I had some coffee, so I was mostly just watching quietly like a creeper.

YesGood Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share #20 Posted October 3, 2013 Dat was greeeeeaaaat~! Fystrael is the standing champion. Siob took her place. It was ossim and all of you missed it. Link to comment
K'dath Posted October 3, 2013 Share #21 Posted October 3, 2013 Sorry I missed out on the end love. I ended up getting drunk in voice chat and something about cutting the nipples off every pirate in Limsa was said... it's all kinda fuzzy now. I may need to inexplicably decide to pick up a non-caster class for next time though :love: (Or come up with some book-based martial arts) Link to comment
Fen Posted October 3, 2013 Share #22 Posted October 3, 2013 I was great fun, even if Fen did blow another hundred Gil. Link to comment
