[quote=BBQMissile]Since a group of people showed a considerable amount of interest in this, I've officially decided to hold the Weapon Master Tournament shortly after the completion of the Ancients Tournament currently being held and owned by Leon.

The premise of the Weapon Master Tournament is simple:
Make use of the weapon that is provided for you against your opponent in a 'no magic' arena. With weapons ranging from swords to axes to maxes to daggers, fighters are forced to delve deep into weapon mechanics and physics without the usual aid of supernatural powers. Therefore, it is necessary to also incorporate weapon weight and size into mind when striking at an opponent.

This tournament will measure not only your ability to manipulate and comprehend words but also to think critically in unique situations using different types of weapons. The implemention of the "No Armor" rule will also be made into effect to increase the challenge and fun factors of the fights.

However, one thing I'm still deciding on is the implemention of 'innate abilities'. I simply don't know how well that would work out. Currently, I think it may be best to rule out 'special' innate abilities altogether. 'Innate abilities' will be determined by what weapon you hold. For example, if you wield a War Hammer, being the most powerful of blunt weapons, it is quite obvious that the 'innate' ability acquired would be enhanced strength and attack power while an 'innate' ability that is taken away would be reaction time and speed. In other words, its pure common sense.

This is still in question. If you have a better idea, I would gladly listen to it.

As for rewards...
The winner of the Weapon Master Tournament will receive a sig banner (made by me) granting you your new title of "Weapon Master". The winner will also be awarded either a belt or a title (i'm still deciding on this).

Registrations can be placed here. Comments and questions can also be fowarded here.

EDIT:
Here's a draft of what the sig banner may look like.

Elara Posts: 1975/9736	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.
BBQMissile Posts: 675/1198	Well, it probably wont' start until October anyway because Leon's tournament still hasn't even reached the semi-finals.
Lord Vulkas Mormonus Posts: 576/4541	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.
BBQMissile Posts: 672/1198	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.
Leviathan Posts: 166/210	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.
BBQMissile Posts: 671/1198	Originally posted by Vulkar Put me in With my Alex character. Would a power that helped increase speed, agility, and durability be allowed? Nope. Because everyone else wouldn't have it.

Leon D. Sagara Posts: 308/859	YOu forgot to add me Sparda, and Different weapons would be kool. It would make it way more Diverse as you said
BBQMissile Posts: 664/1198	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.
Shuyin Posts: 493/1858	Neato. Will you be recycling weapons? For example will an opponent possibly use the same weapon as I did in a previous fight?
BBQMissile Posts: 663/1198	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.
Shuyin Posts: 491/1858	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:
Xeios Posts: 929/2954	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.
BBQMissile Posts: 661/1198	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.
Xeios Posts: 927/2954	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...
BBQMissile Posts: 658/1198	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.
Xeios Posts: 926/2954	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..
Cairoi Posts: 452/3807	Cairoi's in. This aught to be interesting.
Dark Silhouette Posts: 128/147	im down, since im not done with my soul-counterpart character, Imed....i'll use Demi...
Leon D. Sagara Posts: 304/859	I think this will be fun, I am in ((Change of heart heh)) I will be useing my Military Master of Martal arts and master of weaponry: Ryles Adamant
