The 2017 Osiris Open

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

The time has come for the return of the most popular player run tournament in the history of the universe; the Osiris Open.

The basics and the rules, which remain mostly unchanged, are covered in the 2016 Osiris Open (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?31038-The-2016-Osiris-Open-Tournament&highlight=The+Osiris+Open) thread.

This time, no entrance fee is payable. I'll be judging the entire tournament myself so as not to clog up vital judging resources, so commentary will be a lot more condensed but will instead highlight key points from each fight.

The prize fund will consist of a total of 5,000GP which will come out my own pocket and be split as follows:

1st place: 3,000 GP
2nd place: 1,500 GP
3rd place: 500 GP

Those of you interested, please register here. Registration closes on June 25th at 12am EST.

Two more spots left guys.

I am in!

[Warpath]

I'll do this, if there's still a spot.

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Fantastic. That wraps up the entrants.

We'll schedule the tournement to start on Sunday at 12asm EST. I'm on vacation in the meantime :)

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

You bitches ready for brawlin'?

12am EST Sunday, guys. I'll post arena allocations here tomorrow. Official matchups to follow.

Fuck me.

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

So, here are the six arenas for round one. You get to choose but as it was last year, it's first come, first served. You'll find out what you picked on the day, so pick a name you like and see where it takes you!

Arena list

The Dead Pool
Pandemonium
Iron Cemetary
The Rift
Hemlock Grove
Unto the Cruel

[Rayleigh]

Josette and Zel have agreed upon the Iron Cemetery!

[BlackAndBlueEyes]

(Whatever you'd like, Rev.)

[jdd2035]

I'm game for Pandemonium

[Revenant]

Unto the Cruel? That sounds like us.

[FennWenn]

Whatever works for you, Warpath~!

[SirArtemis]

I'll say dead pool, but storm can override me.

[Duffy]

Whatever my opponent desires.

[Warpath]

Hemlock Grove, I think.

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Awesome. All arenas have now been allocated, save for The Rift which was allocated by default to Fez vs Philomel.

The threads will be up before 12am tomorrow with a brief statement and description about your arena. From there, it is up to you to bring it to life and stomp each other.

Good luck!

[Philomel]

I didn't even see this post until now... guess I have the Rift.

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Threads up, kids. Come 12am EST, you can go nuts.

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

All threads here (http://www.althanas.com/world/forumdisplay.php?342-Competitions).

[Philomel]

how often do we need to reply? And how long is the tournament open for?

.. guessing this is in the rules?

[Warpath]

Looks like no post limit, rounds go two weeks? I think?

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Yup, rounds last two weeks. So your close date is 25th June with results due within 7 days.

You may go ahead and post now. Screw the 12am wait time.

[Duffy]

It's on!

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Some of these battles are going really well and others haven't taken off.

Just a quick reminder you have until Sunday night to post. I will judge whatever is there, so get what you can down.

The tournament is going to get a little more story orientated after this round. Keep an eye out for your judgments next week!

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Hello again everyone. You'll notice that judgments will start appearing (for those battles not forfeited through inactivity) tomorrow and should all be tied up by monday. There have been some good battles, some complete and some incomplete.

As a reminder, Josette and Revenant have already progressed.

[Revenant]

Yay.

Two more judgments to go. I do apologise for the delay, it has been a slower process than anticipated but we are getting there. Thanks for your patience!

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Sincere apologies for the appalling wait for my judgments for the remainding battles. I've barely been able to get online these past few days due to being up and down the country, and last night I slept for a grand total of 24 minutes.

I will prioritise everything for the end of the week. Your continued patience is very much appreciated and once again I apologise for the wait.

[Revenant]

That's rough, dude. Don't kill yourself on our account.

[Warpath]

Take your time. This stuff is secondary to other commitments, and there's no way we're served by rushing you through it anyway.

[Warpath]

Psst

[Philomel]

Yup. Seconded.

If you need help shout btw.

[FennWenn]

*Quietly thirded, with offered hugs!*

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Apologies. I've been knee deep in 4.0 related kerfuffles. I'll ensure that judgments are posted so we can continue round 2 on Althanas 4.0.

[FennWenn]

Thanks Shin; it's alright!
*The hugs~!*

[Philomel]

Offer of help still in general around.
