View Full Version : The Osiris Open 2017

Hey guys.
So, I just got back off holiday and I'm catching up on my Althanian obligations. Obviously, we still have the Osiris Open 2017 to resolve.
It was down to both shocking punctuality from me and unfortunate timing with the crossover that the tournament got lost in the ether. Unfortunately, the old forum is closed for posting now so I can't put the judgments up there.
To ensure continuity of the tournament, I'll post the results up here without their respective judgments for the moment. If anyone wants to see the commentary in full then please PM me and I'll do my best to get those over to you, but I'll post them in here later with their respective rewards (which will be added on here), so in the next day or so you'll all know how you did.
Round 1 Results
Revenant vs BlackandBlueEyes
Josette vs Zelrius
Storm Veritas vs SirArtemis
FennWenn vs Warpath
JDD2035 vs Duffy
Fez the Kid vs Philomel
Total bonus pot from losing competitors: 190 GP (to be amended)
Further note from Phi: I'm not sure how much other GP was to be be thrown in but the final pot will have an extra 500 GP in it from my own pocket as well as a special surprise prize!
Edit: After finding the results of what Shin was going to throw in - i.e. 5000 Gold of his own winnings, I am going to do as much as I can towards that.

Phi and I would like to claim the Temple of Ea!

Done!
Revenant
08-26-2017, 09:58 PM
Ragnarok? Warpath, that good with you?
Warpath
08-27-2017, 02:54 PM
Sounds good to me, yup
Revenant
08-28-2017, 09:44 AM
Alright, then. We'll officially take the Ragnarok.
Shinsou Vaan Osiris
08-29-2017, 08:23 AM
Done!
Storm Veritas
08-31-2017, 07:35 AM
Ooh ooh ooh! I want the leftover one! :P
Revenant

Will we get to see the arena prompts before Sunday?

Yeah Rev. Probably tomorrow night.

The arenas are up. Go nuts.
Duffy

Is there an end date?
Philomel
10-05-2017, 11:10 AM
Shin is away for a bit at the moment, but I'll try to find out.
Philomel
10-13-2017, 07:49 PM
For those who are still in the Osiris Open, just a quick announcement.
Shin is not able to complete the rest of the tournament at the moment. After speaking with him I've offered to take it over. I would like an approved from an admin to check this is okay, and then I'll judge everything as is and we can get on with the final.
Philomel
10-13-2017, 08:57 PM
Update: I'm going to be taking this over now.
Folk have a further 3 days to finish off their battles and then they'll be closed. Closing on the 16th October at midnight GMT because I'm British.
Duffy
10-14-2017, 05:21 PM
Thanks Phi.
Storm, apologies for the delay. Due to recent events in student halls and a family bereavement I've been a bit under the weather. I'll post a final time as this is a good thing we've got going, then leave it to you to wrap it up - may the best man win! (Which is clearly you ;))
Philomel
10-14-2017, 06:36 PM
Looking forwards to reading it Duffy!
As a note, as I was one of the ones who was going to take part in the final the last battle will only be between two people.

It's been a blast! I'll post a quasi-closer here; if you'd like to tack on an extra post that's fine, if you'd rather just submit from here that's no problem either. Thanks for rolling with a very non-traditional premise!

Threads are now CLOSED.
Winners will be annouced shortly.
...
Philomel wins!
Philomel

Sorry guys for taking so long on this already. I've had assignments due back to back with four days of working conventions, so time has been under pressure.
The idea is to get to them over the next two/three days and set up the final.
As I am Philomel, the final will be styled as follows:
It will be a three way battle, between the three winners, to keep with the style of previous Osiris Opens. Philomel will not, however, be able to win. Neither will I get any experience from it, as I will directly judge the battle. Philomel will act more as a third party extra enemy.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I'm waiting with baited breath!

Newest reult in!
Revenant vs Warpath (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?235-The-Osiris-Open-2017-Round-2-(Revenant-vs-Warpath)) ... Revenant wins and proceeds to Round 3.
Second Round Two Results coming tomorrow.
Round 3 arena is called ... The Four Horsemen Hell Hole.

Note on rewards:
190 GP that I can calculate has been gained from the forfeited losers GP.
Originally Shinsou said the following -
1st place: 3,000 GP
2nd place: 1,500 GP
3rd place: 500 GP
As third place will be taken by myself, then that amount will no longer be valid.
As to the others:
This is currently being worked on. We will try to get as close to these amounts as possible.
Warpath

Thanks for the judgment Phi! I appreciate your feedback.
Revenant
11-03-2017, 09:46 PM
Thanks for picking this up, Phi.

Newest result in!
Storm vs Duffy (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?233-The-Osiris-Open-2017-Round-2-(Storm-Veritas-vs-Duffy)) ... Storm wins and proceeds to Round 3.
I will try to have the final arena up and available within the next couple of days. It will be Storm Veritas vs Revenant vs Philomel, with the agreement from earlier that Philomel will not be able to win, but is there to add a third party as was originally planned.
Philomel

First post of the final is up!
I'll wait for two days for one of you to get a first introduction in, then I'll reply myself. As noted in the arena, the arches are for you to describe if they work and how they work.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hoping to get a post in tonight.
Philomel
11-08-2017, 03:35 PM
Is there anything you would like me to describe more Storm or Rev? For instance the cells underground
Revenant
11-08-2017, 09:20 PM
Naw, I'm good. I'll follow Storm's lead.
Storm Veritas
11-09-2017, 10:56 PM
Post is up! Rev (and for Phi's information) - feel free to bunny me or arrive however you like. I went with a prisoner/puppet theme, but will roll with whatever you'd like to do. Looking forward to this!
Philomel

If you need any clarity on the arena let me know.
Philomel

Attention: Osiris Open final is going to have a time limit for three weeks from today.
That is, it will end 6th December, midnight GMT.
Revenant
11-15-2017, 04:22 PM
Post is up. Sorry for the delay.
William wants to kill the Horseman of Death and consume his power. If Storm happens to get in the way, well...
Philomel
11-15-2017, 05:02 PM
Okay so choices are I narrate a bit as the horsemen or you two continue as is.
What would you like?
Revenant
11-15-2017, 05:39 PM
I wouldn't mind a narrator, but I'd like at least one more post between Storm and I first.

Some great stuff happening here. Thank you to Philomel who took this on whilst I was away licking windows and gibbering to myself in an unknown language. I appreciate you keeping this alive.
Good luck to the finalists, looking forward to the result!
Philomel
11-15-2017, 06:33 PM
Okay doke!
Both of you post once more then I'll do some!
Just checking in, from what I can see from the thread you don't need any details on the gates yet. Are you happy to continue or wild you like me to post?
-Phi-
Revenant
11-24-2017, 07:55 AM
I'm good to keep going.
Philomel
11-24-2017, 08:54 AM
Keep on going then until you need some gate action :) you're in the middle of conversation, so we'll play it all by ear.
Storm Veritas
11-24-2017, 09:14 AM
Trying to post today. I'll leave it open to see if Phi or Rev can post after me.
Philomel
11-24-2017, 09:20 AM
Go with the natural speed of things, respond how you usually would.
Revenant
11-25-2017, 12:59 PM
Now would be an excellent time for Phi to post.
Philomel
11-25-2017, 01:03 PM
Cool. I'll get you up something tonight.
Philomel
11-25-2017, 01:09 PM
Rev, are you stating in your piece that nothing happened when William stood before famine and pestilence? By the rules of the arena they should have appeared, but William has a connection already?
Revenant
11-25-2017, 02:36 PM
The thought was that he tricked the arches for War, Famine, and Pestilence into thinking that those Horsemen were already present, leaving only Death.
Philomel
11-25-2017, 02:37 PM
AHH okay. Got it.
Philomel
12-11-2017, 02:07 PM
As per previously said the Osiris Round Final was supposed to end on the 6th December. I let it go on for a bit as I was not ready to entirely deal with it with my exams, but it is now officially closed.
I will be judging it over the next couple of days and we will have a winner announced.
As the money is now coming from my own pocket, I will be reducing the winning pot slightly, but not much.
Winner will now receive:
2500 Gold
and all of the gold left from the forfeited rewards.
Runner Up will receive:
1250 Gold
You will also be receiving a special prize.

The Osiris Open Tournament 2017 is now OVER.
Revenant is the winner (very close match).
All rewards have been added and thanks for everyone for participating.
Revenant
01-02-2018, 09:30 PM
Wow! I'm really surprised about that. Storm, you're an amazing writer and I never expected to best you. It was an honour to write with you and I wish we had finished.
Phi, thinks again for all the work you did on this.
Shin, thanks for your work too.
Storm Veritas
01-03-2018, 05:30 PM
Congrats Rev, it was fun! Thanks for judging Phi!
Philomel
01-03-2018, 06:49 PM
Thanks guys.
You honestly have no idea how close it was. It was going between you constantly, and I was surprised in the end it was so close.
Thanks for taking part. I might be now inspired to run my own tournament but ... more on that in a few months :P
