Champion of Atys - Gladiator Event!

[Tidings]

Homins, I bring you tidings from Tecapio, Fightmaster of Atys...

In preparation for the turbulent times ahead we are creating a training regime in all the lands. To judge how well you are performing against your fellow friends each of the four lands will have a league of gladiators and mages to show who is the mightiest of the land. The top two champions from each land will then compete against each other to decide the Champion of Atys.

The league will be formed after an initial tournament to decide your starting positions in the league.

Rules:

Gladiators
Armour: Any armour may be worn
Weapons: Any weapon may be used
Magic: Spells may not be used
Power stanzas: Self Heal, Self Stam may be used
No external help is allowed, except at the end of the duel - when healing/stam may be used on any of the Gladiators involved.

Mages
Armour: Light/Caster armour only may be worn
Weapons: Magic Amplifiers may be used
Magic: Any spell may be used
Power stanzas: Self Heal, Self Sap may be used
No external help is allowed, except at the end of the duel - when healing/stam may be used on any of the Gladiators involved.

League:
Challenges - You may challenge someone upto and including 3 places above you in the league. For example, someone in 10th position may challenge the 9th, 8th and 7th placed people.

Fights must be held in the presence of, and witnessed by a Guide or GM, their decision on the event is final.

Should the Challenger win, they will move into the losers position and the loser will move down one place. For example, if the 10th placed person challenged the 7th place person and won, they would move into 7th place and the loser would move down to 8th place.

League tables will be maintained on the forums for you to check your latest position.


Championship:
The top 2 players from the gladiators and the mages league will compete in a world championship on a monthly basis. This will take the form of a mini-league, where all 8 players will play each other twice. The top 4 players will then go through to a knock-out competition to decide the winner.

The winning Gladiator and Mage will then compete in a best of 3, Champion of Champions competition.


To initiate the competition the initial contests will take place in the four capitals, one a night.
The dates for those contests will be posted here.

Remember, sharpen your blades and repair those worn out amplifiers and be prepared.

eheheh me too...

only one question... I'm a Zorai, where me and my guild can challenge with other players?

[exelsiar]

aye it shall be somewhat difficult this early into the game as most people are limited to their races regions

[mboeing]

Hehe I can challenge anyone anywhere, not that i am in a position to be successful in it.

Just to get this clarified. Is the glove (magic amp) considered a weapon or not?

Heh, the question is would you want to be slapping someone who is blasting you with fire/lighting/poison

[pcheez]

Depriving a mage of his magical mittens is just like depriving a meleer of his wepon, so it should be allowed . Sure it will be funny when a mage with a ql 160 pair of gloves will blast for 1700 dam approx, but thats what they are made for
