Warren Castille Posted December 31, 2017 Share #951 Posted December 31, 2017 The Grindstone is finished for 2017. Tonight we had 51 people turn up to fight (technically 50 after someone DC'd right at the start, but shhhh) and help us ring in the new year. So before revealing who won our 222th Grindstone, here's a list of everyone who has won in 2017! The Winners! (Reveal hidden contents) Dishel Dinwell Percival Turner Honus Himself Livicette Rillemont Mathias Renderra Wanderer Gadieo Mugen Branwen Sayori Farcloud Moon Kito Kalizej Dotharl Jahan Nejem Roland Mccloud Alleria Surlaint L'veyu Carrin Celestus Shinozaki Eshyn Veneanar Aysa Farland Rhuketar Sel'rybaen W'chaza Yheli Swyreyn Keltiyrn Berrod Armstrong Beexu Spiritbreaker Keiichi Jejeichi Ehpo Pekhti Percival Turner Oliver Delvants Talan Dracht Vektis Sol Subtle Raptor Saiya Tayuun Ramona Zale Reika Yuzuka Keira Rioux Lily Verlial Taylor Vespon Livicette Rillemont Annunu Nunu November Luckberry Denz De'bayle Reinhardt Pendragon Ruruni Runi Videra Svenay Nyt'aris Suyn Josiah Covey Steel Rose Obsidian Darksian Percival Turner Vilette Laurent Errol Vennoix Kerain North Chee Smith And with that, I am pleased to announce the winner, in their first-ever Grindstone victory... The WINNER (Reveal hidden contents) W'maine Malha! W'piqoi Malha! Thank you to everyone who has supported us through the year(s) and the people who turn up just to watch! This event continues to live on because of the folks who turn up for it, and I know I've beat this drum a lot and you're all tired of it, but it's the truth. We're all super excited for next week's Fight Auction night, continuing the semi-regular event we do twice(ish) a year to help continue to fund the prize purse. Show up and throw down some money if you have an opponent you want to fight, or on a pair of fighters you always wanted to see duke it out! It's the only chance to book fights YOU want to see, and even the staff is on hand if you want to fight an overseer or a healer (healers only if they agree!). It's been an unreal journey for everyone involved since ARR launched, and we thank you. Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted January 7, 2018 Share #952 Posted January 7, 2018 Welcome to 2018! The Grindstone is ready to face the brave new world! Congratulations to our newest champion C'anto Theti on their victory! After raising a ridiculous 16,000,000 gil, we're prepared to fund the Grindstone through the first week of JULY! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted January 14, 2018 Share #953 Posted January 14, 2018 Nearly a perfect 64 people tonight! 62 fighters tonight in the beginning of 2018, and we are happy to (again) crown a new first-time champion, Reine Cahernaut! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted January 21, 2018 Share #954 Posted January 21, 2018 Tonight's 4-hour marathon Grindstone was attended by a ridiculous 71 fighters thirsting for combat! Congratulations to A'vraiya Tia on his hard-earned victory, and here's a picture of him being flocked by ladyfolk immediately following his win. I'm going to bed. Thanks to everyone who turned up tonight, and to the healthy crowd that lingered through the ending fight too! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted January 28, 2018 Share #955 Posted January 28, 2018 Congratulations to first-time champion Rin Shimasaki! Woe betide those who think women can't possibly murderkill! 1 Link to comment

Warren Castille Posted February 11, 2018 Share #957 Posted February 11, 2018 I'm exhausted. After 39 fighters turned out to try and kill one another, we crowned a new first-time champion in Freyja Odinsdottir! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted February 14, 2018 Share #958 Posted February 14, 2018 Hey, lookit that. There's a Club for this now if anyone wants to have a semi-dedicated subforum. Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted February 18, 2018 Share #959 Posted February 18, 2018 The Grindstone saw 31 people line up to beat the shit out of each other, and in the end we saw Stehl Helmgarde claim her first championship! And absolutely nothing happened afterwards. Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted February 25, 2018 Share #960 Posted February 25, 2018 Tonight's Grindstone saw 40 fighters turn up for gil and fame and getting hurt! Our winner tonight proved that he ISN'T actually a robot in armor, so congrats to Josiah Covey on his most recent win! 1 Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted March 4, 2018 Share #962 Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Tonight saw 42 brave souls line up in Central Thanalan for the chance to become Grindstone Champion! With the previous champ knocked out in an earlier round, the finals came down to a longtime veteran and a relative newcomer, with the Grindstone culminating in the midnight hour! Rebel Yell screams more more more and is the newest champ! Edited March 4, 2018 by Warren Castille can't into images 1 Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted March 11, 2018 Share #963 Posted March 11, 2018 The Grindstone continues! Tonight saw 49 people gather to fight it out, and we crowned a regular in their first title victory, P'tajha Dhol! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted March 25, 2018 Share #964 Posted March 25, 2018 Guess who forgot to update the thread for a week?! That's right, it's me! Congratulations to the victor of the 233rd Grindstone, Izea Dzmael! Tonight crowned a new champion in Valindra Carelle! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted April 3, 2018 Share #965 Posted April 3, 2018 Due to some other roleplay going on at the same time as our finale, I can now announce Percival Turner as the yet-again champion! That's like fifty wins for Percy, and we look forward to seeing who comes forward to challenge him in the future! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted April 28, 2018 Share #966 Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Long time no see. I'll be reposting our winners for the past couple of weeks as soon as I'm able due to some IRL absence. In the meanwhile, long-time healer and supporter Lucerna Sainahs has written a thing! Feel free to read it. It's a general primer-style guide for tournament RP! Edited April 28, 2018 by Warren Castille Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted April 29, 2018 Share #967 Posted April 29, 2018 I'M BACK BITCHES Grindstone 239 in the bag! New winner: Zegram Wolff! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted May 6, 2018 Share #968 Posted May 6, 2018 Tonight's Grindstone is in the bag! It's been TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY WEEKS since this thing began and we're proud to crown the newest champion in Evening Fist who finally takes home the title after numerous tries. He had to best multiple promising newcomers to do so, and to be honest we all expected one of them to take the whole thing! nepotism Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted May 20, 2018 Share #969 Posted May 20, 2018 Hey, the thread's being updated again! Last week's Grindstone saw Evening Fist repeat his previous victory, making him one of the rare few to not only win multiple times, but to do it in back to back weeks! This week we crowned yet another first-time-fighter as our new champ. Congratulations to Temujin Moks, who won the night with a giant suplex! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted May 27, 2018 Share #970 Posted May 27, 2018 What's this?! The Grindstone managed to end before 1am?! Unpossible! Oh, but it IS possible, and thanks to new champion Kira Mura we're all able to go to bed at a reasonable time! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted June 17, 2018 Share #971 Posted June 17, 2018 It's normal to wait a few weeks between posts for a weekly event, right...? Anyway! Congratulations to Freyja Odinsdottir, Livicette Rillemont and Rokuro Dataq for their victories! For some reason I don't have a shot of Freyja, but here's our other two recent champs! In other news, we're happy to announce that July 7th will make the return of our semi-annual Fight Auctions! I'll put together a new thread with the details, but it will largely operate the same as the previous ones, where people can bid gil on who their first opponent will be. As always we'll also be allowing people to bid on the ability to fight Grindstone staff, so everyone who wants to fight Judge, mark the date! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted June 24, 2018 Share #972 Posted June 24, 2018 Two weeks left until the next Fight Auction night, taking place on July 7! Congratulations to tonight's newest debuting champion, Arin Tayuun! Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted September 2, 2018 Share #973 Posted September 2, 2018 Annnnnd we're back! Despite going a bit quiet over the summer the Grindstone has continued to run each and every week. Last night marked the 257th edition of this event and we're happy to present Binxi Saphe as our newest winner! Binxi's no stranger to the event and was finally able to climb the mountain. Hooray!

Warren Castille Posted January 6, 2019 Share #974 Posted January 6, 2019 New year, new resolution to keep the thread bumped! I sadly don't have any pictures because I forgot to set up new folders and they errored out on me, but hey! Last week saw a fairly successful end of the year FIGHT AUCTION NIGHT and tonight began the new "season" of the Grindstone! Congratulations to our first new winner, Joyce Blythe! ...next time, more pictures. Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted January 13, 2019 Share #975 Posted January 13, 2019 The second Grindstone of 2019 is all wrapped up! Tonight saw 60 fighters line up for a chance at victory and when all was said and done, we had only one fighter left standing! Congratulations to Xiscys'a "Feather" Juun!
