The Althanas Invitational: Tournament of Champions ( )

Postby Remæus on Thu Dec 11, 2008 12:11 pm

The sponsors of the GT League Hall of Records are proud to announce a new official GT League event, where fight results will automatically be added to the Hall of Records and get all participants a global fighter rank based on their performance within the event. Fighters will be asked to represent their home forums (or chats) in the tournament, and have the opportunity to bring prestige and glory to their respective sites.

Althanas presents The Althanas Invitational: Tournament of Champions!

What is the Tournament of Champions?
The ToC is a massive, completely open inter-forum competition. Writers and roleplayers from all across the Internet are invited to register and compete.

What sort of competition is it?
It’s a team battle tournament. Participants form teams of two and battle other teams.

So I win if I beat the other team ICly?
Nope. Players receive a score at the end of their battle. The team with the highest total score wins and gets one step closer to the prize!

How do I join?
First, obviously, register for a basic account on the forum if you’re not already a member of Althanas. Then, you must register a character specifically for the ToC, following the official character guide. Finally, you’ll need to find a partner and register your team for the ToC. Then, you must complete an entry for the qualifiers.

Hold on a second, you said something about a prize earlier!
Indeed, I did! You’re not only will you be competing for glory, inter-forum renown, and the knowledge that you are, in fact, the best. The outline for the rewards are as follows:

All participants: All EXP and GP earned during the tournament to use for their standard Althanas character.

All semi-finalists receive: Double all EXP received and a free copy of the upcoming World of Althanas Anthology.

Second place participants: As above, plus a $20 cash prize.

First place participants: The warm and fuzzy knowledge that you’re the best, privilege of registering an official Althanas character at the ending level of their tournament character, a hard-cover special edition of the World of Althanas Anthology, and a $40 cash prize.

Does it cost anything to enter?
Nope!

This all sounds pretty awesome, but I've never done this kind of 'battle roleplay' thing before.
That's no problem at all. Max Dirks, our very own Battle Consultant, has assembled a great informational thread to tell you everything you need to know and more. Find it here!

...okay. When does it all start?
Character Registration ends December 21st. Team Registration and Qualifier Trials must be posted between December 21st and December 25th.

See you on the battlefield!

34 views and no one has commented?! What madness is this?

Anyway, I am VERY excited about this tournament. Click here to see my blog entry about it.

A fighting tournament where people are judged on their writing, rather than combat, abilities... Man, I see so many bloody good writers on this site, who may not be particularly skilled in text-based combat - now is your chance to get some recognition.




Anyway, I know a few people who are getting involved, myself included. Is anyone else going to join in the fun? Let us know here so we can root for you. If not, why not?

I am hopeful that the usual over competitiveness and e-peen waving seen in other fighting tournaments is absent here. Again, it is about your writing ability, not your text-fighting skill.

Give us all some feedback, people.
