The Fourth Battle Arena Tournament: Round One

[Power Shot]

Good news, everyone! The Tournament's back!

The First Round has, by tradition, always been a four-way fight between the finest (and most bored) fighters in the Battle Arena. This time, however, we have decided to change things by having four-way brawls. I will not cease with the lame jokes. You have all been grouped this time in the order you signed up in. Don't you just love it?

To Everyone: I am the Judge. My word is final, so I don't want to hear about unfair judging. I hate everyone equally.

As per usual, we have the rules:

• You may only use one character per battle. A new character may be chosen for each new round. If, however, two or more of your characters are so heavily linked that they cannot fight or survive without the other, you may use them together.
  
• The tournament round will end in two weeks. This is simply a warning, as we've really never enforced this rule before. Be careful, though. There's a first time for everything.
  
• Lastly, winning your battle does not necessarily increase your chances of moving on. The actual outcome of the battle is rather irrelevant. Judges will be looking for skill, creativity, and good sportsmanship.

Now, the match-ups:

avyuir
Puck
Halcyon Hero
Honour

Sakume
I)ragon11
Sabbo
Andurhil/Cookie

Zorolo
Wolfen
Sweet Simplicity
Mr.Man

Kitsune
CourageWielder
Altamira
Awkin

Hippo Cloud
king daphnes
Librairian
Venomous Ninja

HitokiriChibi
Lysis
Kiriyama
insaney

musical zombie
Chozo
MrRandom
Preservoir


Obviously, the first and last posters have an advantage in the actual battle. One decides the setting while the other may use strategy when picking their character. Don't expect, however, that this will alter your chances of moving on.

Name your threads "[Round 1]Whatever the heck you want."

*cuts ribbon*

[Altamira]

...

*faints*

I-I-I'm against my sonny!? Awky? Eeeeeeeep! :O

*can see the round one-knockout now*

...But it should be an awesome battle. :3 *excited*

I will start tomorrow or Thursday, methinks, if no one objects.

[insaney]

Hurhur...I'm up against Chibi and Mizzy.

Things seem tough already <<;

I may start if no one else is up to the task.

[Silver]

Aha!

>:3

The inevitable matchup between myself and HH. This will rule all.

[Zorolo]

God hates me! I draw Mr.Man in round one. Hmm... this does allow for all kinds of awful things he and I could potentially do to Wolfen and SS, but I doubt we'd do that, even though it would be awesome.

[Librairian]

Hmm. I think I have a good matchup, but I'm not 100%. We'll just see. I suspect victory, though.

Go ahead and start.

*Bows out for multiple reasons*

You've only got Chibi and Lysis to worry about now. ^_^

*Was ignored, so he cries*


Oh well...It's not like HH will reply anyways. Two weeks isin't long enough for him to write anything.

[king daphnes]

Hm, two of the newer guys and a veteran huh? better chances than my last time which put me up against Zorolo Ciroton and LEA. A veteran, a TA, and the Champ from the tournament before that one.

DON'T JINX HIM! DARN YOU!

I've been waiting for this matchup since the first tournament.

Soooo~

If I Jinx him it's more likely I'll actually make it past the first round

[Silver]

... that's assuming that more than one person moves on, of course. In other news. You need to IM me so we can get fantastic ideas going for this tournament! Must entertain the Shot!

[Chozo]

I'm among complete strangers. ;___;

[Sabbo]

Sakume... I)ragon... Cookie...

I'm doomed, aren't I? Meh; either way I'll still try my best.


Soo... who's starting? I'd prefer not to, although I can if no one else will.

(EDIT:If it's not started by the weekend, I'll probably start it then. But I'd still prefer not to. )

If you want to know more about MrRandom's character, just read the IC thread. Falenor's there most of the time. I can't help you with the others though, especially since the last I knew of mz's characters I killed it.

[MrRandom]

...You're among strangers, Chozo? I hardly know anyone in the BA at all!

And I'd prefer it if I wasn't starting in my battle...*Gulps nervously*

[HitokiriChibi]

Gah Chibi isn't tough @_@; She only has a manical Joker on her side XD
And if you had a place in mind to start feel free - I was thinking along the lines of Zero Gravity in an Escher style room =P

KIRI: Already we have our first casualty - how many others shall fall before even the first thread is posted?

Good Luck to all - and cheer up McRandom, just do it for the fun ~(^o^)~

[MrRandom]

Eep...tournament...scared...*Panics and runs into a wall*

...I'm okay now. I just don't really know how to RP...there's nothing wrong with that! ^_^

*Takes deep breaths and calms down* Just fun...thanks.

*Hyperventilates and collapses*

*Gets up* I'm fine now.

Oh, and on topic : Someone start the thread! Get it over with!

Chibi isn't tough? Nonsense!

Hitokiri = 'Man-slayer'

You're the 'Man-slayer chibi'....and I'm a guy. @_@;

[Andurhil/Cookie]

Bwahaha...

So it begins.

*flicks insaney* I expect great things from you, young padawan.

*prods Sabbo* Bwahaha.

And now, I'm off to my special relativity class so... I dunno if I'll start it either ^^;

[Mr.Man]

Zorolo and I are in the same group. -.- that's just typical.

I'm doing the intro! I'll have it up with the next few hours. I can't do it right now, I'm at my tennis club.

[Euphoria]

Zorolo, Mr.Man and Wolfen. Great >>;;

I am going down.

EDIT -

God hates me! I draw Mr.Man in round one. Hmm... this does allow for all kinds of awful things he and I could potentially do to Wolfen and SS, but I doubt we'd do that, even though it would be awesome.

*Strives to annihilate you*
