[align=center]Fellow Eorzeans! Do you seek to prove yourself and your friends to the world that you are capable of being victorious in a battlefield? [/align]

 

 

[align=center]Eorzean Grindstone World Cup is an official four-contestant tag match against other team to prove themselves that they are the strongest. In this tournament, you will be in an arena where you'd teleport to an alternate side of dimension. From there, where you will live or die - you must fight to the death to lead your team to become the victor![/align]

 

 

[align=center]Find yourself three other companions who will help you gain worthy prize for this tournament!  [/align]

 

 

[align=center]**With a small note underneath: Any possible death within the other side of dimension does not actually kill you in Eorzea. Do not worry.**[/align]

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?

[Aldotsk]

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.

[Aldotsk]

Dates have changed! It is now Fridays instead!

[Adrian]

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.

[Aaron]

Me, Inessa and Nik planned on being partners. Need 1 more though.

[Aldotsk]

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.

[Menelwen]

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.

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.

Registering our team for the tourney.

 

Inessa Hara

Aaron Glacier

Niklas Gran

Caex'ra Vaeriar

 

We haven't decided on a team name yet but go ahead and mark out team name as "Steel Reason". We will change it when we agree to something.

[Aldotsk]

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.

[Aldotsk]

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.

[Aaron]

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.

[Ilwe'ran]

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.

[Hiro]

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.

@Hiro: I'll speak with you this Sunday evening!

 

As for others who are signing up, please post here or PM me through this forum. I will not be online in-game for the next two days because I am going on a vacation. (No I am not going to London fan fest. I wish)

 

I will check often and see if there are more people who are interested!

[Sindl Arahn]

Sindl Arahn

Niklas Gran

Aaron Glacier

Inessa Hara

Caex'ra Vaeriar

 

Woot! The azure wind shall blow strongly soon!

[Aldotsk]

Mira Paravane is looking for three contestants who can fill her into the tournament. If possible, I'd like to see 3 more teams if that's any possible. Thank you!

[Aldotsk]

The sign up deadline is now moved to November 2nd 2015! Please be sure to sign up if you can!

[Hiro]

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

[Aldotsk]

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.

[Aldotsk]

Bumping!

[Aldotsk]

Only 4 days till sign ups are done! please sign up still when you can!

[Geneticdork]

Posting my team!
