[h2]Swordsmen of the east! Gunslingers of the west! Headhunters, war-heroes, barbrawlers and terminators! Fighters of the universe, lend me your ears![/h2]

It is my most sincere [b]honor[/b] to present to you, the gameshow that rocks [b]the very foundations[/b] of the earth! The tournament which houses the most awesome battles this world [b]has ever seen[/b]! The dream of all ambitious fighters as well as the viewers at home! It is the [b]Violence Fights Xtreme[/b], smack in the middle of your monitor and [b]here to stay[/b]!

Now, you all need to know how this is done, so let me go over [b]the basics[/b]:

Two fighters enter, one fighter leaves. That is the [b]cardinal rule[/b] of the show. Then how does one determine the victor and loser of each fight? By voting, of course! When a game draws towards conclusion, it will be up to the viewers to vote for their favourite fighter. The fighter who gets the most votes gets to [b]kill their opponent[/b] in any way they please and moves on to the next match.

Matches are booked in advance. I will select two combatants at random and set a date when both can fight. Each match will take place in a well-known location, with scores of [b]innocent standers-by[/b] to get in the way. Fights last for three days and end when the voting closes.

Now, here are a few guidlines for voting:
[list]
[*]Do not vote for inactive fighters. [b]Wait[/b] is for the [b]weak[/b].
[*]Do not vote for people who refuse to get hit. Really badass fighters knows to [b]smash[/b] and [b]get smashed[/b], and the main criteria for signing up is [b]being badass[/b].
[*]If you are in a fight and want to vote for yourself, [b]you may[/b].
[*]One vote each, naturally.
[/list]

So, with all of this formal stuff taken care of, go right ahead and [b]sign up[/b] for the competition! We want everything from pro-wrestlers to psycho schoolgirls here; anything that might be considered badass or, if nothing else, [b]hilarious[/b]. Remember, this game is as much about comedy as it is about awesomeness, so let your inner self go berserk on all the possibilities and produce that special character that you know is [b]the badassest ever[/b]. Then post it in the character section of the upcoming thread. You know you want to.

If you have any questions, which I think some of you will have, go ahead and [b]ask them[/b] right away.
