Tournament Information (Updated!)

12 years ago General

Hey guys!

The response so far has been stellar. I'm still unsure if I'll enter one of my characters (probably Whitby from the Silver Spears stories) but so far we have 8 of 16 slots filled! Not bad for only a day or so. I know a few people that'll no doubt want spots once I catch them online, as well. Hopefully this can get started within the week. I'm going to start putting together a graphical bracket that'll be ready by the time the roster is filled.

I've updated the process by which matches will be decided and added an element of chance to the outcome of the matches. I've seen something similar to this used before, and I think it may make things a bit more interesting for people.

So tell your friends, even if they'd only be interested in following along!

The Style!

The tournament will consist of a set number of 1 on 1 "combat" matches. At this moment I'm not going to specify the style of combat, but may narrow down the potential scenarios as I receive feedback, and think it through. When I say combat, I'm thinking of something in line with my Gladiators story, but don't want to constrain people who may have different combat death fantasies. All deaths will occur IN COMBAT, however. Whether that involves being shoved onto a field of spikes, stabbed, decapitated, disintegrated, acid bathed, etc, is up to the contestants, but I want to stress that the fight won't be decided then the loser snuffed-- they will die in combat.

I'm no artist unfortunately, but in lieu of visual outcomes, I will write a 1 - 2 page mini-story to coincide with the results of each match. These stories will set a scene, describe the fight, and of course provide the loser with a glorious death in battle. The loser of any one match may request details to be included in their death-- these deaths will be overtly sexually charged in nature, naturally. If you're unsure what I mean, please read Gladiators, Tug of War, or any of the Silver Spears entries. Winners and losers will be informed immediately after the end of a match's voting period, but the results will not be made public until the story is posted (shouldn't take long).

The Process!

After some thought I've decided to create a hybrid-voting method that will favour voting, but allow for a "wild card" element in the form of augmenting voting scores with dice rolls. This will add chance as a factor in determining winners, and provide a more randomized outcome!

The process will be relatively simple:

1) Contestants will be eligible to vote on matches as per most contests of this style. Voting will last 2 days at least per match, and may be extended to ensure everyone who wishes a chance to vote may do so.

2) At the end of the voting period each contestant will be awarded a dice roll whose maximum matches the number of votes received. (I.e: If contestant A receives 8 votes, the die roll will be 1d8). This number will be added to the contestant's vote score to create their final score.

3) Higher score after both rolls wins the match. Total scores will be announced when the story to coincide with the match is posted.

EXAMPLE:

Contestant A receives 7 of 16 votes, 1d7 is rolled and they score a 5. 7 + 5 = 12 (final score)
Contestant B receives 9 of 16 votes, 1d9 is rolled and they score a 2. 9 + 2 = 11 (final score)

Despite having 2 more votes, Contestant B is defeated.

Registering

Entry into the tournament will be FREE. This is just something I want to do for my own twisted enjoyment, as well as the twisted enjoyment of others. If you wish to join, all you have to do is send me a note containing the following information:

1) CHARACTER NAME
2) BRIEF DESCRIPTION/REF SHEET
3) CHARACTER ICON (to be used for the bracket I'll create)

I'm aiming for 16 contestants to start. If demand is higher than this, I may open it up to more. Registration will be on-going until either the bracket is filled, or it's clear no-one else is interested. A journal will be posted should either of these things occur.

Male or female characters are welcome to register.
Only 1 character per user may enter.
No characters based on existing intellectual property not owned by the user will be allowed (no pokemon, MLP, cartoon characters, etc)

Prizes

Because the tournament is free to join, and I can't draw, I suppose the intrinsic enjoyment of either being trodden underfoot by a superior warrior, or standing victorious over the broken bodies of your inferior opponents is the only prize I can offer. Each contestant will receive at least one short story containing their character, with the possibility for more depending on whether they win their matches or not. This is just for fun, after all!

If any artists wish to donate their time or talent, I--naturally-- will not say no.

Things I need to say to prevent any drama

We're all adults, so I'm sure all of this is un-necessary, but I figure I should put it here in writing.

1) By entering this tournament you are providing me with permission to use your character's likeness-- in relation to the tournament-- for the duration of said tournament. You may not rescind permission should you lose a match, and I will not honour requests to remove all mention of your character from the tournament without an incredibly valid reason. Once you're in, you're in.

2) I will do my absolute best to portray your character in a way that honours the spirit of the character. Outfits your character will appear in will be at my discretion, however. If the loser of a match decides they want to die in a sci-fi scenario, your character will appear in a sci-fi appropriate outfit. If there's anything you strongly prefer (masculine vs. more feminine outfits), please let me know and I'll do my best to accomodate the style.

3) All voting will be done "in-house". Contestants may vote on their own match. Only votes from those registered in the tournament (whether active or eliminated) will be counted. Because of this, I don't mind if you post journals-- in fact, I encourage it-- to advertise your match. All "Stories" may be re-posted in the galleries of the contestants participating in that particular match as credit is provided to me for writing it.

4) I don't care if your character is the Lord of Creation, and can nullify entire galaxies with the blink of an eye. In this tournament, he has as much chance to win or lose as anyone else. Powers are inconsequential in regard to the vote going against your character-- if they lose, they die. Please don't enter a character unless you're willing to accept there's a good chance they're going to end up dead. Again, this is for fans of snuff, dom & sub, and messy orgasmic deaths in whatever form they may take.

Questions?

Questions or comments can be left on this journal. None of this is set in stone, and is more a statement of intent than a finalized description fo what will be.
