User blog:Lady Komainu/I Volunteer as Tribute!!!

Hello there friends! So as most of you have seen, User:OmegaDragonite and I are putting together a site wide tournament called the Jigoku Games!!! I have recieved a couple of questions about the games themselves, so I thought I would post the FAQ's here to help you guys get a better idea of our plan.

Q: So what exactly is the Jigoku Games?

A: Well this is going to   (hopefully)  be a site wide tournament for users to get a chance to RP with their character in an all out battle against the strongest of mages!

Q: How are the tournament going to work exactly?

A: Well those who are interested will let either Zef or me know which character they want to use. We are going to allow people to submit up to two characters for review, and then narrow it down to 20 competitors. Those mages will then be put through three rounds; the first round being a two-on-two match, the second round being an intellectual test, and the third round being a one-on-one fight with a single elimination bracket. Each fight will have a randomized location for the battle setting, and will be judged by myself, Zef, and User:Aaniimee based on fairness, logic, attack use, and overall character usage.

Q: What's the prize?

A: There will be a total of 5 winners who will earn a spot amoung The Sentinels as well as 2,500,000 Jewels.

Now given that the last round will consist of 10 people, with 5 of those being winners, the third round of the games will interesting... So the five winners will be decided, but the fight will continue for the number one spot, that person ultimately winning the 2,500,000 Jewels and the title as "leader" of The Sentinels. Because it will be an odd number of people during the one-on-one bracket, the mages performance in the intellectual round will be used to determine who gets a pass on the first part of the top five battle. It will then be a three person fight for the title of leader of The Sentinels!

Q: So what is this Sentinels group that we are all fighting for?

A: The Sentinels  are a group of Ishgar's five most skilled and strongest mages. Each individual mage's power rivals, or exceeds, that of a Wizard Saint; and so they have been selected to act as guardians and peacekeepers for all of Ishgar. The page itself is a work in progress right now (sorry!), but the winners of the Jigoku Games will have the power to edit the page as they see fit as long as it keeps with the general theme of the "Chaotic Good" Guardians. This means The Sentinels will continuously be evolving, as if it were an actual organization! (But for real, this is just a fun thing to do that gets everyone involved and show off their characters strength!)

'''Q: This sounds like a lot of fun! When does it start?'''

A: Great question! Well Zef and I are setting a deadline for ourselves to be able to have it all planned out and made by the end of January. So I would mark your calendars for then and begin working on your characters! But, if Zef and I happen to finish the pages earlier than that, we will let you all know so we can get the games underway!

'''Q: Cool! When do I have to submit my character for review by? And when will you let us know?'''

A: Well you can comment what characters you want to submit at any time between now and the end of this month, if you haven't already commented on here or Zef's blog post. We will be approving mages for the games through out the month, but will have the final decision made two days prior to the start of the games. This will be the deadline for character edits during the duration of their time in the games. We will then announce who will be teamed up for the first round, and who your competitors will be.

Thanks for reading! If you have any other question, just leave a comment here.
