@Bartimaeus

Where would you say you are now in relation to Stalker and the remaining Stalker double?

Given I am still sort two sheets, because honestly, I was expecting more for this, this may not actually happen. Which, in retrospect, is fine, as it allows me to flesh out the idea even more and work on some of the mechanics of it.

However, I'm willing to wait until midnight of next Monday, before officially scrapping it.

Though, I don't want the thread to go to waste, so perhaps what goes on in the viewing area can lead to some type of storylines being developed.

Yeah, or just both.

I can see the final tournament playing a role for both.

1) To establish a character as a top dog, and perhaps build storylines off that. Making them effectively 'King/Queen', think Zatch Bell

2) Establishing a writer as the better 'fighter' as we end our 'year'.

I like the knowledge before hand, it allows me the opportunity to establish my personal story line for my character being involved. Either through fights before hand or in the character's history.

@rilla And I set you up for the knock out blow, make me proud and write it well.

@Skallagrim

I just finished reading it, hahah. I'm cooking fries at the moment, so it may take me a little bit to get to it.

In order;

@Bartimaeus Says the goblin that just got blasted in the chest. ;D

@Crazy Scion Well, if I can convince the powers that be, we may be able to get titles; customizable, so for instance if you wanted Dennis to be the King, and you won the tournament, you could have it as 'Dennis - King of the Arena', or in case you wanted it to be you, 'Crazy Scion - King of the Arena'

@Impaqt In general, all of my top 'OP' guys are manipulative dicks, but several of my playable characters(See Kei'taro and Alphonse) are genuinely nice guys. But in response to the rest, there could definitely be overlapping storylines going through the tournament, essentially making the tournament a back drop to bigger things. And alright, so long as you guys let me know(@LeeRoy), then I'm cool with waiting. I'm pretty patient like that.

@Skallagrim That's the ticket.

The main issue here, however, is... should the tournaments and their themes be pre-announced(Like WWE's MITB, WM, Survivor Series), or be presented as a surprise at the announced host of the event? I have no problem with either, really, so it's basically an open discussion. Innue's tournament is running slowly, for instance. I had expected that the first round, at least, would be over by now - but as stated, I support any decision he makes regarding the tournament he is hosting.

I'll leave it up to the winner. I lean towards character, but some may want themselves to be recognized.

It can refer tobeither. If a man wins he's king. If a woman wins she's queen.

So to expound on my idea to 'schedule' the tournaments, hoping that this will fuel more discussion - as that's the point, for us to talk about potential changes.

Assuming there are four tournaments a year, the calender would look similar to this:

King/Queen of the Rookie or Rookie Tournament: The name may be misleading, as surely, it'll include people who can't be classified as rookies, though they'll likely take first priority.

Theme 1: Perhaps a slightly realistic/powered melee tournament, I.E: Dyayun vs Tre'Yan type of characters and matches.

Theme 2: A sci-fi themed tournament, where the characters use futuristic characters, based less in magic and more in technology.

King/Queen of the Arena: Open to top seven/fifteen people in the rankings, not counting the winner of the Rookie tournament, who will be granted a spot. Serves as top tournament of the year, between the elite.

Futhermore: Hosts can still host the tournaments and have the judging power, and other sorts of abilities, like picking the power level. I'll for sure host the final tournament, and maybe the first. I'll be allowed to participate in the last one, under the rule that a secondary judge will judge any and all matches I'm involved in.

Another thing I'm interested in talking about is the points for losing. I'm fine with the points for winning/draw, but it seems odd that I can, in theory, lose a match and immediately jump several spots up in the rankings(some have already).

And the last thing are tournament point structures? Perhaps it is just me, but I'm not a fan of getting points for every match in a tournament. Perhaps a change to the system, allowing for the top three to get a set amount of points, instead of per match.

Again, hopefully this fuels some good conversation and whatnot; we have 20+ people involved in the rankings, and many express no opinion on such things, which is disheartening, as I would rather not just make decisions without any input.

and if you have any ideas/suggestions feel free to bring them up.
