Tiergan Posted October 18, 2014 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2014 Hey there Aldotsk, I don't know if you've already spoken with the Grindstone folks, but the dates and times overlap with the same dates and times of normal Grindstone. Is that intentional? Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted October 18, 2014 I spoke with Sindl for a while but yes, the dates have to be rearranged or have to be discussed. Though since it is literally the same thing, and it is an annual/seasonal event - I figured it'd be placed around the same time. Edit: With the way it's going, I will possibly move to Friday night instead because seems like Saturday has Grindstone and Sunday has Fight Club. However, I'll work it out with Sindl more about the timed details. Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted October 19, 2014 Dates have changed! It is now Fridays instead! Link to comment
Adrian Posted October 19, 2014 Share #5 Posted October 19, 2014 Hey, did you think of adding medics to your staff? If so, my character Reinette Sompt is always looking for an opportunity to help out. Link to comment
Aaron Posted October 19, 2014 Share #6 Posted October 19, 2014 Me, Inessa and Nik planned on being partners. Need 1 more though. Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted October 19, 2014 There is still good 6-7 days until you make your final decision. If you don't know who you want to partner up with, then I'll just randomly partner up with someone for you. Link to comment
Menelwen Posted October 20, 2014 Share #8 Posted October 20, 2014 There is still good 6-7 days until you make your final decision. If you don't know who you want to partner up with, then I'll just randomly partner up with someone for you. Now there's an interesting idea. Give everyone numbers, and when you're number is called, you're thrown into the ring. Maybe you get to know who you are partnered with, or maybe you have to figure it out yourself. Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted October 20, 2014 There is still good 6-7 days until you make your final decision.

Give everyone numbers, and when you're number is called, you're thrown into the ring. Maybe you get to know who you are partnered with, or maybe you have to figure it out yourself. It'll be the best idea to have if people cannot find their partners to make the team work happen Besides, there is like only three to five people interested in it. I'd rather hope that more people would join in this. Link to comment

Aldotsk Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted October 23, 2014 Change of Updates: Eorzean Cup 2.x - A Version Reborn. 4v4 - to be OOC agreed term basis 1v1 fight until last-man standing in team match Grindstone style of a simplistic combat fight. Non-Movement or Counter-Attack or non-sense No-Healing/No-Complicated Technicality - applying to overly creative non-canon stuff Non-Magic Users. All physical attacks only (Archers allowed) Team Leaders roll the initiative Team Initiative all rolls first then the other entire team rolls defense vice versa. The following has been patched and been fixed as accordingly. Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted October 23, 2014 There has been two teams that have shown interest into the tournament. If possible, I'd like to see 6 more teams! If this is your first time, still join anyways - because if it works out or requires improvement, I can always add into newer side of rules in the future. Link to comment
Aaron Posted October 23, 2014 Share #13 Posted October 23, 2014 Bumping because this sounds interesting. TBH might have to promote in game too as not everyone who has ever been at grindstone is on this forum. I know I wasn't till a while ago. Link to comment
Ilwe'ran Posted October 23, 2014 Share #14 Posted October 23, 2014 I'm promoting it as every other event in the Open RP LS. though, I admit that when people ask about Grindstone, I have to make some search on the board as informations about this are hard to find and the related LS is considered as inactive and in the archive part of the board. Link to comment
Hiro Posted October 23, 2014 Share #15 Posted October 23, 2014 Looks interesting. While my character wouldn't participate as a contestant it would be interesting to watch. IC: Hiro Ayami is willing to sponsor 200K gil (IC and OOC) towards this tournament on behalf of: Enses Azorium. Feel free to contact me in game. Link to comment

Hiro Posted October 27, 2014 Share #21 Posted October 27, 2014 Hiro has recruited someone to form a team he's also sponsoring during the tournament, once they find a full four (plus some subs perhaps) they'll apply. Also, wasn't on much Sunday, my apologies :3 Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share #22 Posted October 29, 2014 No problem! There is one person above that I mentioned that is looking for a team. Perhaps we can work it out to make it as one? Also bumping more to see if we can recruit more. Link to comment
