Have you ever wanted to join the Arena, but were put off by the perceived Ill-tempered, short fused, argumentative, and quite frankly bullish personalities said to roam those war torn lands? Well, we - the argumentative and Ill-tempered few - would like to invite newcomers to our messy home.

The Arena's very own premiere middle man is offering to host a bevy of new fighters, and has called in some of his chips to get them mentored by some of the best fighters of the Arena universe.

The tournament itself will be hosted in the legendary Lobby of the Liaison, where popular Arena tournament, the Way of the Warrior, is hosted. Consider this, the winner of the tournament will Automatically have a spot in the Way of the Warrior, meaning they'll be accepted without worrying for a spot.

The rules of the tournament are few, the mentors will help walk you through the rules we commonly use in the arena. The scale will be lower tier, minor powers to provide a diverse, yet easy to engage level of combat for those who may not have tried their hand before.

Other rules will be discussed forthwith.

Restrictions apply.

I'm curious how this works... Is it simply the stubborn who win?

While indeed, to land a hit, you must first convince your opponent that there's no way to avoid it, the combined information provided by character sheets and combat posts creates an objective frame of reference, meaning that with cunning enough manipulation of the fight's flow, one can create a situation where their opponent can no longer deny that they're in a disadvantageous position and have no means of escape.

Of course, the abscence of a rigid system present in most games dictates a reliance on sportsmanship and trust - but third party review, presented by the tournament's appointed judges, can provide a higher degree of reliability, satisfactory to all but the rarest of cases.

In short, yes, you have to be stubborn and thick skinned to a degree - but those qualities by themselves don't decide the victor.

If this is still happening, I'm also interested in this. Is there another thread where I sign up, or is this it?

The OOC will be up tonight, as well as a list of mentors, hopefully. My count of participants puts me at about 7-8.

@Dynamo Frokane You can be a mentor, not a participant.
