I've run a few tournament related threads in the past, but this is the first time I've decided to run a tourney-based thread while not participating in the tournament in question. Since a significant percentage of our active players are going to be wrapped up in the LCC, I thought it'd be nice for the rest of us to have a friendly thread to hang together in.
The thread will take place in Lornius at the Corporate Challenge Gambling HQ. Announcers and color commentators will be giving the blow-by-blow of each battle as they receive updates on the Eternal Wiretap. Officials will be collecting wagers and changing the odds as favourites and underdogs jockey for position. Businesses will have booths selling and advertising unique products from across Althanas.
How do you fit in? Any way you want!
I'm not going to make any effort to police this, but I ask that only non-LCC participants join, which includes alts. However, all eliminated competitors are welcome to join in once they are no longer competing. Take a load off, have a drink, and tell the sympathetic ear on the next stool about how you missed that final slash by a hairsbreath, or how the judges are obviously slated in so-and-so's favor.
This will mostly be a casual RP thread, however at some point there will be a heist! Parties unknown will attempt to steal the funds amassed for gambling purposes. Will you make a grab for some cash in the confusion, or help the guards restore order?
I'll post the initial setting which will be the main ballroom of a decrepit palace rented out for the occasion (or something similar). Players will be free to move in/out and around the castle, and add to the setting and cast of NPCs as they see fit.
Basically this is a little unofficial fun for those of us not involved in the tourney, and hopefully this companion thread will encourage us to read along with some of the battles so we can have the announcers say funny things about what's happening.
Post here if you're interested! Questions/suggestions welcome!
