Fine by me I guess... though that will mean me cutting deadlines close due to school and Shipwreck (my job for the Halloween season). I will be good to go though... just expect a few more typos here and there.

Well, it probably wont' start until October anyway because Leon's tournament still hasn't even reached the semi-finals.

Would it be possible if this tournament waited until october, so that it can start after I've moved?

I'd like to be able to spend all the energy possible on this, and I won't be able to if this starts earlier.

Levi, you should try and get in touch with me through AIM. I'm sure we can work out your time issues.

EDIT

1) Yes, you may punch, kick to your heart's desire. However, i may add a rule that at no point during the match you deliberately drop your weapon just so that you can punch and kick. I want to try and focus mainly on weapons.
2) When the rounds are started, I will be present to issue each fighter his or her weapon. I will also be giving a summary of each weapon issued to the fighters, making them aware of the capabilities that are unique to that weapon only. In other words, yes, I will describe them as much as possible so that the fighters can utilize them to their greatest potential.

I'm in. Just......go easy on the 3-day thing, eh?

I'll be using Levitreis..Night's "Human" form.

Fair warning to all - while my speciality is blades (of any kind), i'm rather mean with any weapon.

Edit for questions:

1: Will physical attacks be allowed (a punch, for example) or not? I assume not, but..

2: Considering the fact that YOU are running the tourny i really don't need to ask this, but could you be as descriptive about the issued weapons as possible. Anyone familiar with armed combat outside of RP will know the point of this question...for those who are not: Let's say that you are issued a Rapier. An uneducated opponent could easily mistake this for something akin to a fencing foil (highly flexible blade, no cutting edge, so on). Of course, there are numerous defensive and offensive possibilities granted by something as simple as a particular type of hilt/material.

Nope. Because everyone else wouldn't have it.

That might happen but I'm going to do my best to make sure everybody uses different weapons. It makes the fights more fun and diverse this way.

Neato.

Will you be recycling weapons? For example will an opponent possibly use the same weapon as I did in a previous fight?

Actually, I will be using several types of swords...just ones most fighters are usually not accustomed to fighting with. And it'll be most likely that you'll never see two items of the same category in one fight.

I doubt he plans on using several types of swords. There may be a katana and a broadsword and that will probably be it for the sword category.

I'm interested to see if he makes us use weapons that are not well known.

Yay rope dart.:giggle:

Ok, that's fine, just was wondering. And on an afterthought, maybe you shouldn't have too many sword type weapons in the tourney, because, if you want to challenge someone to use a weapon they are not used to, then anyone having swords could be at a technical advantage, because they are the most popular weapons in sim.

Xeios, I was never going to post a weapons list in the first place and I will not do so now. You'll be able to see what weapons may be available when the actual tournament begins.

Alright but as I see it, the pole/staff kind of thing would have the bonus of being lighter than their other counterparts, due to the fact that one side of the other weapons would be weighted with metal.

I understand the gauntlet thing, but you could use those Katar thingies, which are attachments to the hands, that are long blades used kind of like brass knuckles are used.

And could you post an updated weapons list? Maybe include some weapons that I don't have posted...And take out the ones you don't want used...

I'm not splitting anything into categories and I won't be including all of the weapons you listed. Certain weapons are too similar to other weapons and it just wouldn't be fair if someone got 'this' weapon instead of 'that'. For example, the pole is easily weaker than the poleblade because the pole is simply a long stick used for beating the opponent where as the poleblade is just as manueverable as the pole but with a blade attached on one end to increase the effectiveness.

And I'm not including gauntlets. They count too much as armor as well. Period.

I'm in.

And a weapon list could have categories, and the fighter could pick the weapon in his category, such as::

Swords-

Longsword
Short sword
Twin swords
Scimitar
Katana
Wakizashi
Broad sword
Great sword
Swallow(the twin sided sword)
Two-Handed Sword

Knives--

Twin knives
Knife
Dagger
Twin Daggers


Axes--

Double-bladed Axe
Great Axe
Hand Axe
Hatchet
Two handed Axe
Axe

Hammers--

Warhammer
Mallet

Gauntlets--

Gauntlets(offensive/defensive)

Polearms--

Halberds
Pole-Axes
Pole-swords
Spear
Lance
Staff
Pole

Hope I didn't forget anything. Oh, and if you don't want to let someone pick their own weapon in the category, then you can just randomize both, for two levels of randomization..
