I want to get this started this weekend guys, while I actually have the time to do anything other than work and sleep.

I'll post as Devall and set the scene at the Crimson Palace, then anyone who wants to be involved can post their character arriving/registering/mingling/getting drunk etc.

So things have begun to get underway, but I think I need to clarify a couple of things just in case there is any confusion.

The first step is to post in the Meet & Greet thread. Anyone interested in joining the RP should do this. Basically this serves to let me know who is interested and the various skill sets of that character, and from there I can effectively plan the first event; Combat.
This will be written in free form, but discussion will come in to play here, as well as common sense. There are some Independent characters who will excel at hand to hand combat, and some who are adequate. It goes without saying that the characters with more extensive training and skill will win out. However, as the fighters are paired up there will have to be a discussion between the two characters and possibly myself, to discern who would realistically come out on top, and what way the fight would lean throughout.
Obviously it will appear that the administrators of the Games have chosen the opponents at random, but if you would like your character to fight someone specific then that can certainly be arranged. Following Combat will be a test of Pilot skill.

There are events that require substantial planning on my part, and guidelines will be given in the interest of fairness when those events arise so things don't get out of hand. The threads for each event will be opened by myself with instructions therein.

Any questions/suggestions can be PMed or posted here in this thread. You guys know what to do; speak up! Wink

Well, sinse combat is the first event. When I kill everyone I face, do I win the contest automaticly? Laughing

Just kidding. Seriously though, with combat being the first event, injuries will occure. Will these injuries have to be roleplayed into the other events, or are we going to give people time to recover, in the interest of fair play?

LOL. No. I'll probably cook up some elaborate point system. I'm not really sure why I chose combat first; could be because we haven't seen a decent fighting RP yet, or maybe because I watch too much UFC.

In regard to injuries I figured that since the whole event is being bankrolled by Devall he could more than afford to supply a couple of bacta tanks, so any injured party can be dunked if need be. Also I think that realistically there should be a day or two between events, more for real life purposes than anything else.

Sign Vil up, I think this is just the thing to get some action for her. She'll suck in some of the events but doesn't mean she's not gonna try ^^

Are we all piling into Cameron's thread? I just want to make sure since no one has posted. I'll work on a post tonight at work.

Danke ^_^ I was getting rather punchy after I rewrote the thing the second time. My first draft was... ish. So I was writing this one at 5:30 in the morning.

Vil needs some company or at least a drinking partner. Who wants to jump that hurdle?

Okay now I'm kicking myself into action. I know Jaren has been waiting (very, very patiently) for me to get my arse into gear and that I shall. Although I'm not sure whether or not I should open a new thread for our particular sl, or hop into the sign up thread. I can't remember what was decided. I have a brain like a sieve.

Jaren, if you read this PM me. If not, I'll catch you on AIM at some stage.
