The Cell is Althanas' free-for-all tournament. Players will be divided up into 4 or more groups, each in its own fifty-foot long, thirty-foot wide, thirty-foot high steel mesh cage. The winner(s) of each cage will then meet in the final round of the tournament. For those of you wondering, The Cell will take place on Corone.
I. Registration
Registration for The Cell is limited to 32 players. Registration begins on Wednesday, July 5th at 8:00 P.M. E.S.T. and ends on Monday, July 10th at 12:00 A.M. E.S.T. Multiple registrations are allowed, but players must clearly indicate in the registration thread that they are entering multiple characters.
II. Rules
- The Cell will begin at 12:00 E.S.T. on Thursday, July 13th. At that time 4 threads will be posted - each thread will be its own cell, each thread will have 8 players in it. The first post in each thread will be the same, and made by myself.
- Each cell thread is to be treated like any normal battle - all Althanas rules regarding powergaming and controlling other character's actions will be enforced. Also, The Cell will be judged like any other Althanas thread - the best three warriors, not the necessarily the three last-surviving warriors, will advance.
- The cells are made out of your standard steel mesh, meaning that yes, they can be broken through and players can climb the cell, fight outside of it, fight on top of it, tear off a piece of it and attack their opponent with it, and whatever else your devious minds can think about.
- Each round will last exactly two weeks, and between them will be a 3 day break. In order to earn full experience for the battle, players are required to post at least five times in their thread. The three players who earn the best scores in each round will move onto the finals.
III. Judging
I'll be judging all four threads. To reiterate, the three players with the best scores in each thread will advance to the final round.
IV. Rewards
All players in The Cell will receieve EXP, with the amount determined under the new Battle EXP guidelines. Each cell thread will be treated as if it were a normal battle thread, with the highest level character in that thread determining the flat rate. Using that flat rate, each character's EXP reward will then be computed against the score of the lowest winner in each thread. Complicated yes, but I'm willing to explain for those who need help wrapping their heads around the numbers.
Furthermore, each player who advances to the final round will get a bonus of 750 EXP, and the eventual winner will get a 2500 EXP bonus and a magical item that must be approved by myself.
With that done, the floor is now open for questions and concerns.
Question from INDK: Does anyone know how the opening round of the Cell is going to interact with the late rounds of the LCC. This is an important factor in whether or not I choose to register for the Cell.
There will be overlap, although like normal there will be a break after this round of the LCC, and at that time the Cell will still be going.
What I'm trying to say is that one won't really limit your participation in the other, especially since The Cell is meant to be much less intensive than the LCC.
