Greetings ladies, gentlemen, man-orcs, female-orcs, children, un-gentlemen, thugs, briggans, thieves, would-be-thieves, unknowns, knowns and Aurelianus.
Down on his luck after a failed venture to harvest magical ore by sacrificing dozens of mercenaries, our beloved jerk-face Jack (the auctioneer, not the Admin), has decided to sponsor a small tournament for a few lucky people. This is the first (to his knowledge) Tournament of the Fist, and will be a special series of fights organised in the Citadel. There is a catch, when it says ‘of the Fist’ it means no magic. Any characters caught using magic will be unceremoniously penalised. There are also some other rules that anyone considering entering should be aware of:
Rules
Entry is limited to four (4) players
Each person will fight each other person, for a total of three threads each
Threads run for three weeks and will be run one at a time. Judging doesn’t stop the next round from starting (as there is no elimination)
No alts allowed, pick one character
Entry will cost 400 gold which will be refunded (plus winnings) upon completing all three threads
If you don’t have 400 gold, you can give as much as you have as long as it’s above 200.
Dropping out, or not completing a thread will lose you some of your money. (see below for an expanded conditions for this)
Magic (and some equipment) is not allowed IC (see expanded section)
Cumulative score for the three matches will determine overall winner
Entrants will be via a random draw from entries. That means if we have 10 people sign up, four will be randomly picked. (not first come first serve)
Any other rules I deign to be of value
Magic
Magic is not allowed IC
Anyone caught IC using magic IC be kicked out of the magic
Judgements on IC being kicked from the match will be made by an impartial IC Judge will be viewing the match
If the judge believes someone has used magic it will result in result in -5 for minor uses or -10 for larger breaches towards the cumulative score (doesn’t affect match exp/gold)
No black powder weapons, magic weapons or items more complex than a crossbow (same rules as above apply for scoring
The judge is a monk of no special skill or ability apart from perhaps slightly above-average knowledge of magic (he's not omnipresent). He'll be on the watch out for anything that looks like magic and will dock points at the end of the match accordingly.
Non-completion of threads
If you post and your opponent does not, you do not lose any money.
If you post more than three days after your opponent, and the thread doesn’t finish, you lose money.
If you post more than three days after your opponent and the thread still finishes then you don’t lose any money.
Not posting at all in a thread and you lose your money
Being ‘a bit late’ and the thread doesn’t finish may or may not cause some money to be lost (my discretion based on events)
