The 3rd Tenkaichi Bending-kai Tournament of The Elements Signups~
That's right, folks, we're holding another In Character tournament!
Now, everyone who wants to participate should sign up below, and include the links to the characters that they will be using for the tournament!
- Rules of Conduct:
1. All official site rules still apply, which means no Godmodding, Twinking, and Power-Play are out of the question as well
2. Your character may only bend one element during the entire tournament. That means if your character bends two elements or uses a Combination Element, they can only use one of the elements they know, and cannot use any Combination Elements.
3. Don't argue with a judge's call. Can't stress this enough. All judgement is final, however if you have questions about why, I'm sure we will answer this. Just no sassing the judges based on a call you don't agree with.
4. Weapons are not allowed. That is, weapons made of anything that isn't one of the bendable elements are not allowed. Weapons made of ice, or fire, or rock are accepted as they are considered bending techniques.
5. No character death. This is an In-Character tournament, however, you cannot kill another person's character. There will be no fatalities or finishers or any of that.
6. Applications matter. If it hasn't been applied for prior to the tournament, or isn't in your app, whether its a skill or an element, anything really, don't bring it into the Arena.
7. Pay attention to the opponent's posts. You cannot ignore an attack just to avoid damage; a judge will force you to take damage if you do. Also, don't disrespect the dice rolls!
8. Pay attention to how the arena looks! There is a section that describes how the arena looks exactly, don't change it in your topic by bringing anything new in. Bringing in anything new to the arena will be considered twinkling or god-modding.
9. Pay attention to the tournament level you're part of. There are three tournament levels:
1. Lightweight
2. Heavyweight
3. Staffweight (By Invitation Only)
~Other Tournament Information~
Tournament Locations1. Lightweight - Ba Sing Se Arena, Ba Sing Se, Earth Kingdom
2. Heavyweight - Grand Imperial Arena, Vermilion City, Vermilion Dragon Empire [Mainland]
3. Staffweight [STAFF ONLY] - Colosseum in the Sky, Northern Air Temple, Kingdom of the Four Winds
Damage Calculation, Attacking and Defending1. Lightweight - 100 HP
2. Heavyweight - 500 HP
3. Staffweight - 1000 HP
As stated above, any attack you ignore in your post,
you will be forced by a judge to take any damage ignored. So in order to keep track of attacks and such, we've made an attack limit per post. Each post you are allowed
one attack, and yes, a barrage of attacks or a multi-part attack still counts as a single attack because you will only use one damage calculator.
Which brings us to our next question! How do we determine blocking and attacking?
Like this: So there is an attack counter. In other words, if you're attacking, you do a random number generator, how do you do that you ask? Simple! You type
- Code:
-
[rand]10[/rand]
That number in the middle is important! That 10 will allow the generator to generate a number between 1 and 10, including 1 and 10. So when you attack, you put that random 1-10 generator at the
bottom of your post. That is your
Attack Accuracy.Right below that, you put:
- Code:
-
[rand](Put 35 if you're Lightweight, 50 if you're Heavyweight, 100 if you're Staffweight)[/rand]
and that will generate a number between 1 and whatever number you're supposed to put. That second number is your
Attack Strength and the amount of damage your attack will do if it hits.
How do you defend from these? Well if you're defending, before you post, post a single simple post with only
- Code:
-
[rand=1]10[/rand]
. That one post will determine the defender's
Defence Points. If your Defence Points, between 1-10, are higher than your opponents Attack Accuracy, then you successfully block the attack. If the attack is blocked, the attack does
no damage, if the attack is not blocked, it does damage.
Once more, there shall be no fatal attacks, and no killing each other.How are we deciding who falls into which weight category?DATES:
1. PRELIMINARIES - March 3rd 12:00am to March 10th 11:59pm
2. TOURNAMENTS - March 12th 12:00am to March 27th 11:59pm
ANY TOPICS THAT ARE CONSIDERED UNFINISHED WITHIN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME WILL BE DECIDED BY A JUDGE WITHOUT THE CONSULTATION OF THE ABSENTEE PARTIES.Starting March 3rd at 12:00am, there will be a set of preliminaries that will determine who goes into which weight. Losers go to Lightweight, winners go to Heavyweight. Any topics that aren't finished by 12:00am March 10th will be decided by a judge without the need for consent with the absentee parties and will be decided by terms of HP.
As for Staffweight, the top two members of the preliminaries will also move on--simultaneously--to the Staffweight tournament.
The official tournaments start on March 10th, 12:00am at the designated locations. Each tier of the tournaments will take place at once. For example, all the first rounds happen together, then all the second rounds happen together, quarter-finals happen at once, then all semi-finals, then all finals, etc. Each tier has 48 hours to finish up, with breaks between the quarter, semi and finals for resting up of characters and users. If you do not complete the topic in 48 hours a winner will be decided by a judge without the need for consent with the absentee parties and will be decided by terms of HP.
