Title: Magic Shop Duelling championship
Post by: perlyboy on January 12, 2009, 01:33:00 am: After participating many duelling championships and considering the nature of duelling championships itself, I, Perlan proudly present:

The Magic Shop Duelling Championship

Background:

I stumbled one day on a platform in the winch, which I found very interesting and to my liking. Thoughts and visions about duelling went wild and ideas popped in my head. I reckoned this platform to be the utmost excellent place to hold a duelling championship of a different order than the normal preceding ones. Having carefully inspected this battlefield three things came to my attention:

1 The platform is above mid air and you can fall off
2 One big pillar and 4 smaller ones are on the platform
3 It is not a particularly big platform

Therefor this platform gives the opportunity to have a duelling championship of a different kind on. Having tested the platform, my conclusion is that duelling here will be a mix of normal duelling with "hide and seek" and the awareness of the very edges where you can fall off.

Due to various reasons and laws such a championship was not approved to be held.

That is why I needed a new location which is similar to the platform, to have a similar championship. So i thought and searched...
I remembered the higher ground next to the magic shop. I have tested it with people (my thanks for helping) and this particular piece of ground will be suitable for a similar Championshio, so we will hold it here!

This ground has also 2 particular things:

1 it is not big

2 you can fall off.. not a real spectacular fall off, but off is off .. hehe

That is why we hold it there.. for the similarity of the change in duel style ::|

Date and time:

The Magic Shop Duelling championship will be held on the following dates:

Friday 6th of February from 1900 hrs GMT
Saturday 7th of February from 1300 hrs GMT
Sunday 8th of Februry from 1300 hrs GMT

Duels will go on till very late at night since there will be many duels to be held, if due to any reasons not all duels can be held in that weekend remaining duels will be held at another time regarding the duellers and the time they can fight again

Classes and entry fees:

For this Duelling Championship there will be two classes, so many duel loving people can enter:

1 Amateurs

[Anyone having an endurance level above 100 can enter] Amateurs buy a ticket for 10,000 trias

2 Experts

[Anyone that has a weapon level above 60 and/ or armor level above 60] Experts buy a ticket for 25,000 trias

All participants will be scanned, tickets available from now and can be bought from me, Perlan

Price pool distribution is as followed for each class(amateur and expert):

First place: 60% of all entry fees

Second place 25% of all entry fees

Third place 10% of all entry fees

Duelling rules:

All weapons are allowed [that means people with an axe level of 150 can also use their axes if they like]
No magic allowed whatsoever
No killing allowed
No foul language ::|
No making out in public :P
Any other misbehavior can result in disqualification as well
The duellers fighting each other will let the other know he/ she is ready by jumping once or twice
All duellers in their class will fight each other for two rounds. Falling off of the platform counts as a loss for that round. ;D Two wins = 3 points won, a tie = 1 point for each fighter, Two losses = 0 points
After all duels, points will be counted, and first, second and third place will be made public

So, get your b*tt training and practicing, bring friends and come join or watch the Magic Shop Duelling Championship!

With regards, Perlan aka Perlyboy

Post by: Donari Tyndale on January 12, 2009, 02:10:32 pm: It should be elsewhere then. In-game roleplay events is to be taken literal. And this event is clearly no roleplay, with Perlan godmodding on the Octarchy. It's actually a violation to the "In-game" part of this forum section. He sent a PM to Xillix and now claims the Octarchy rejected his tournament idea? Wow. I will send a PM to Xillix and tell everyone Xiosia rejected my idea for a slaughterfest in Hydlla. :'(

this is called intolerance, plain and simple.
bacause can't just you ignore us if this post is not for your kind of play just move along, this ain't harming your playing style, you can go continue doing it and
i never understood why people do that of getting in the middle of things they're not for them, just with the idea of hinder or block all the attemps to make something; a duel event
is also an event and this respects the settings framework

btw: freedom is what matters, is live and let live, too bad you've missed the second part of the phrase

my english is bad, sorry for it and sorry for not being as enough fluent on it to explain better my idea in this isue
Title: Re: Magic Shop Duelling championship
Post by: Mathy Stockington on January 12, 2009, 03:34:47 pm: perlyboy is trying to make a player event here. The players should not make it hard for him to do it, rather help him make it a success. I cannot help but wonder if Proglin had such a hard time when he planned his events.

We need more player participation. This will help with role play of which is severely lacking these days. I suggestion if something posted is incorrect give ideas on how it can be improved so that it will work, be positive. The idea is that we are playing a game together yet we always seem to rip all good ideas apart without giving good solutions to resolve it. It is time to have fun and stop making it so difficult to do new things in game. Maybe some rules need to be bent a bit or maybe they need to be rethought all together. Maybe this game is getting to complicated. To many rules can make it or break it.

perlyboy should be applauded for trying.
Title: Re: Magic Shop Duelling championship
Post by: Arerano on January 12, 2009, 03:40:06 pm: What a great idea. it's the best idea I stumbled upon (beside the Winch Duelling Championship).
I am sure Levrus loves the idea too.

Ok, irony aside:
You can compare it to an announcement of some "fighting tournament" (with guns) in a shoe store without asking the owner first but simply assuming that they will like it.
What will you propose next? The Tavern? The Secret Garden? The Iron Temple? (just imagine slaying each another inside a church, I am sure the priest will be "surprised")

I obviously misread a part of it.

Thank you.

Post by: dragnoor on January 12, 2009, 03:48:50 pm: Well said Mathy.
Rp'ers & PL'ers are supposed to be getting on in this world. Instead PL'ers seem to be flamed for any good suggestions. Seems a tad pedantic to suggest OOC'ly or otherwise is soley a reason why it cant be done. Bend the rules a bit. Lets have a tourney with a new dimension. And those that dont wanna attend, dont.
Bickering isnt going to help with progressing this excellent game. Ok we all dont want a WoW clone thats for sure. And Perlyboys idea seems sound to most duellers as a good one that will test their mettle.
But assuming the status quo wont change. Then an area with raised platforms...Say in the arena..Would be a good idea. But thats for the Wishlist.
As to those renowned Duellers who wont attend for fear of falling off. No loss !

There is a kind of a "raised platform" in the arena.

Thank you.

First, put yourself in the mind of your character rather than a player.

With that in mind choose a fitting place for fighting and with plenty of room for spectators. Out in the woods is alright. But wait, whats that big arena shaped building over there? Oh, yes, the building made specifically for events like this. I guess in this respect you have the approval of the Octarchy, but not in any other way.

Next, organise it, the tough part. Partially done here already.

Then organise the extras that made Proglin's such a success. Betting, catering, etc.

Thats it. My only qualm is how absurdly OOC the whole idea seems to be.

But the fact is : You do not understand ours.
ALL we ask is for the rules to be bent a little to allow us to fight somewhere different with an added dimension. PL'ers have to accept your RP aspect. Why cant you accept ours?
Title: Re: Magic Shop Duelling championship
Post by: Parallo on January 12, 2009, 04:07:48 pm: I said the woods were fine, right? Just keep in mind that the Octarchy have never shown any support for duelling in Hydlaa, never mind the winch, never mind one of the platfroms used for trade and transport.

Edit to add more: I just think it's an odd place, is all. You wouldn't see a boxing match in a forest in rl, would you? Also, if you want a platform, buy some tables and you can do it anywhere.
Title: Re: Magic Shop Duelling championship
Post by: Mathy Stockington on January 12, 2009, 04:11:57 pm: I did not make a post here to start another argument. Instead let us try to work together and make an event that will please both the players and the developers. Encouragement always works.
Title: Re: Magic Shop Duelling championship
Post by: Parallo on January 12, 2009, 04:24:32 pm: No one is arguing, Mathy. People are misreading and overreacting.
Title: Re: Magic Shop Duelling championship
Post by: Sktn on January 12, 2009, 04:27:53 pm: Not is about the location, it is about the nature of the event, they don't like any duelling events, that's all, that's the reason of the complain of these people.
Even if it is organized in the last of the hills, they would also complain. It is seen clearly
Arrogance in the end, that's why Drag's question will stay unanswered...
Title: Re: Magic Shop Duelling championship
Post by: Parallo on January 12, 2009, 04:33:26 pm: My biggest regret to do with PS was that I missed Proglin's tournaments consistantly due to work and such even when I was in his guild. I love duelling event. When they are dealt with IC. Do not put words into my mouth please.

This is how I see it. If a 'player event' goes well I do not see why the 'role players' in this game cannot partake also. So a role player who does not want to be part of the fighting can watch. After the tournment is over the role players can have much to role play about:
"Did you see what happened?"
"That one Kran was beaten up pretty badly."
"I thought that one dwarf was very brave."

So why does an event like this have to be for just players? I see this as an excellent opportunity for role play as well. Therefore I say this makes a great event for everybody. "Why can't you accept ours?" is the question here and I say there should not be a difference between Players and Role Players during this kind of event. It is fun for all.

[Parallo do not miss Proglin's events, make your own. If he could do then I think you can also]

We need to work together like we used and things will get done.

Noted and done

Quote from: Donari Tyndale on January 12, 2009, 02:10:32 pm
It should be elsewhere then. In-game roleplay events is to be taken literal. And this event is clearly no roleplay

First of all, as long as I can remember championship annoucements were made here, secondly there is no other chapter for events on this forum. Thirdly all the duellers attending this tournament roleplay they are there with the intention to participate a championship.. they don't just ordinarily fight in a unstructured and brutal manner.

Fourthly: let me remind all so called RP-ers what roleplaying is. This comes straight out of a dictionary:

role playing/'. , ../ n the act of behaving in a way typical of someone else or of an imaginary person, either unconsiously or for the purpose of learning a job, learning how to behave in certain social situations, etc.
- role play n, v

These so called duellers ALL act in a role of a dueller participating a roleplayed championship, other people roleplay being arbitrators here, and other people roleplay watching it.... I roleplay organizing a championship as I have succesfully have done in the past already. A championship where more than half of the people on the server was present, a championship in which all people -who participated or were present at- loved.

About championships held in medieval times in general: Championships were the attraction of the year, mainly as a part of a fair, people from all around the vicinity of where a championship was held gathered there to either participate or watch, some people travelled for hundreds of miles or days just to be there. Such events taking place were mostly held in the middle of a town or city in order so everyone could watch these spectacles, and yes, normally fighting was not allowed in the same city. It is unfortunate in the first place that a championship cannot be held inside the great city of Hydlaa in the first place, then again, we people respect that obiding the laws in this realm we roleplay to be known as Yliakum. Therefor this championship is being held at a different location, so we roleplay following official town rules... :innocent:

I think this is clear enough for everyone to understand. If not, i will elaborate more.

note: all text used here is to be taken OOC-ly 8)

[Ooh, I forgot to mention that posters are being made by another player and are being placed in Yliakum, also RP in my opinion..]

@Arerano: I think I understand your post, no, this isn't gonna be held inside Levrus' shop indeed

Title: Re: Magic Shop Duelling championship
Post by: Parallo on January 12, 2009, 06:11:07 pm: Triple post :o

Anyway, yes people are playing thier characters appropriatly in attending a competition but these characters may question the organiser's sanity if he claims to have had talks with the octarchy that never happened and he stages such a competition in a place like this when there is alreadt a building with all the mod cons made for exactly the same purpose. But by all means, carry on. Just be in character about it and it belongs in this section.

The Arena is inside Hydlaa and is designed for exactly that purpose, to give people a place to test their combat skills without disrupting or affecting the safety of the populace

Post by: perlyboy on January 12, 2009, 06:24:03 pm: [we are aware, but it lags much and secondly, it is not an accomodation for a championship where people can fall of the battleground, this championship was designed to have a little change in duelling itself]
Title: Re: Magic Shop Duelling championship
Post by: Parallo on January 12, 2009, 06:27:44 pm: Like I said, buy some tables. You obviously have winch access.

Post by: perlyboy on January 12, 2009, 06:31:04 pm: [that's an arguement, but maybe you are unaware that many items placed on the ground while having a championship cause much lag, making duelling more difficult for the people that are in it]

This actually isn't true. Proglin had a couple of OOC freak outs in the middle of tournaments when he thought people weren't obeying his rules. Proglin also reported people who were roleplaying to the Game Masters if he wanted to get rid of them, even though they were IC.

Post by: Mythryndel on January 12, 2009, 11:25:19 pm: I agree with Anumesa... I have seen complaints all over these forums about how nobody runs events anymore... players that is. I've heard speculation as to why... but my 2 trias... is that THIS is the reason why. Someone takes the time to announce and try to organize an event... and people nitpick it to death! I really don't care if the event is supposed to be held in the DR in a vat of Jell-O... I am all for player driven events.

Lesson learned for others... Don't invoke the Octarch unless you have actually been given permission to do so... ok... you've taken your lumps... it's old news... move on...

I really don't see why people are having a problem with this event... even given it's location. There are "fight clubs" that pop up everywhere, for almost any reason. I suppose next time this information will have to be passed only in-game to people with enough trias and contacts to get the location of this week's fight... to avoid those !@$%!@$#% RPers...

"stick to the subject" please, like i have read a lot on these forums here...

in short: duelling championship being held next to the magic shop at a higher piece of land

entry fees: 10k for amateurs, 25k for experts

Post by: jaycol on January 13, 2009, 12:17:06 am:    [The matter of perlyboy's approach to this has been acknowleged by him, and corrected by him. So that is no longer an issue. He has atempted to bring new insight into the game. There are very few areas in the maps that can support the overload for large events containing characters and items. He has taken the time and effort to at least scout out the area for possible use. If his idea did not fall in accordance with the game settings, that's fine. He did at least stir up more then a general interest in the area as to how it can, or can't be used. He deserves credit for that and his effort to try. Which very few people do!]

   [Now we could sit back and say for instance: "I wish so and so where here still to hold events" BUT! Their not! That leaves some other so and so to pick up the ball and go with it. I have had to pleasure of attending a few peryboy's Championships. From my view he does a good job of performing the task. Events take time and planning, time and research, time and coordinatiion, time to promote. Time to design a back up plan, and time to execute,. Did I mention time?]

   [ It is to the fact. That he takes the effort to do the work. That I have disscussed with the members of the CoD of approaching him for his assistance in the near furture to co-sponser and host an event with us. The choice was realtively easy. there were only two names to choose from. The second name I'll approach at another time. The funny thing here is they both have the same roots. Which is a credit to them both.]

   [ I for one hope that his new adjustment is within merit to settings. A large event there will test the stability of that area, more so then the gold mine did. Anything new with a hint of creativity, is always welcome to me. It provides me with new ideas and a base to build upon. In fact his suggestion has opened up a whole range of possibities. One which he has continued to build upon. That's not failure in my book. Failure to me is something like "I wish so and so were here to do it for me".]

   [For the record perlyboy's character and the CoD have a dark history together. His character and mine will never truely see eye to eye because of that history. But, we are polictically civil due to our status within our guilds. Jaycol iis community oreintated, and if he wishes to hold a Championship I support his effort to do so. I also have never regardless of our relationship, ever knock him down for doing so. Nor will I. If his and/or anyone's idea or proposal need some adjustment. Then offer him and/or them something credible to work with. In other words, chaulk up your post points somewhere else.]

   [perlyboy you roll with this thing. Be prepared to make adjustments as needed. If you need help or assistance let me know. I'll make the time to help, if you need it. No task is too large or small, dwalves have strong backs. Let me know anytime in-game or PM me. I have an excellent help line at my desposal that are always looking for a new challenge and/or adventure.]

   [Don't let these posts get your goat. Take what you need from them and/or ingore the rest. Ingore the rest! Good luck with your event I look forward to participating as Participant or a spectator. Competition held in Honor!]

Post by: jaycol on January 13, 2009, 03:11:49 am: A darkly cloaked figure slinks through the late night streets of Hydlaa. Stealthfully drifting along in silence. It stops periodically watching for any hint of it's detection. A keen ear and eye surveyes the surroundings before moving on in quiet motion.
It navigates along the edges of the darken buildings. Warily watching for any indication of life as it glides forward through the shadows. Stopping, frozen in place like stone at the slightess distrubance. After a few moments of it's own assurance. It coyly moves onward.
It knows in it's heart that the fretfull dreams of the sleeping residence has changed to peaceful sumber as it's arura casts out of it's person. A sence of humble goodness. In what seems an eternity it reaches it's goal. It glances up at the bulletin board.
Reaching up Jaycol removes his hood. Quickly, he covers his mouth to hide a mischeivious snicker. His eyes tear up as his stomach muscles squeal in pain of surpressed laughter. Still snickering under his breath he reachs inside his cloak and pulls out a small magic sack. Dumping the crystalized contents of power out into his hand. He raises it slowly towards the board and glently blows. A cloud of sparkling dust fills to air. It spreads out as it sprinkles onto the board falling slowly to the ground by his feet. "Drats, dat stuff don't work none." he says silently before burying his face into the croak of his arm to stiffle his laughter.

Leaning against the bullet board with one hand the other holding his side near the ribs. His body racking in jolts as he struggles to control himself. Moments pass as he finally recovers to finish his chore. Wiping the tears of laughter from his face he takes out some parchment and posts it.

Satisfied he replacess his hood. A fit of giggling over takes him as he turns and runs down the street. Within the darkness of Hydlaa a harty laugh egos from the buildings along its empty streets.

[Oh, perlyboy. Yah flyers be ready. I'll return yah fees ta. Dis one's on da house. Jaycol cuckles]

Post by: perlyboy on January 13, 2009, 05:17:48 am: Thank you Jaycol for your support, and thanks furthermore of recognizing the person I am having made a championship already in the past, thank you also for acknowledging the fact that I persisted to have a Championship for many players to enjoy.. Thank you for acknowledging the fact that I went on looking for a legit location after having a "no" on the original location, and looked for another one..

Thanks for recognizing the fact that I continued to look for means to make this event happen...

Thank you, Perlan

Post by: IkonRevisions on January 15, 2009, 07:39:32 am: I must make my remarks on this tournament location. I feel many are going to boycot this tournament and I feel for good reason.

The location where this is to take place puts fighters almost in weapons reach at all times making it hardly a valid test of skill but a test of berserkers luck. Though this type of bout may be entertaining, the results from this championship will not be held in too high of a regard.I am aware with what Perlan is attempting to do with this tournament and that is fine. A platform could make for some very good battles but I think it is more important to create a tournament that is both fresh as well as a valid test of combat ability. Be that as it may, I might still attend this tournament but even if I were to do well I would still feel that it was a tournament based on aggressive and well placed luck. So I would suggest find a new and exciting location if you wish to have the best fighters at your up coming tournament, that is all.

Signed,

Ikon the Princely

How strong must one be to even be eligible fer the 'amateur' category? I would like to attend the event, surely, but if it were something my short stature and lesser abilities might match up with others then I would learn much I be sure, and be willing to give it a swing or two of me sword!

Title: Re: Magic Shop Duelling championship
Post by: Jamek on February 06, 2009, 07:06:58 pm: I'm not really understanding what any of the whodoo is about this particular player designed event is. There seemed to be something wrong with the original post, concerning a 'godmodding' statement that got corrected. I don't consider myself in either of the two player camps, those of the RP'er or the PL'er. I do both, as the time or event calls for. I don't claim to do either very well.

I enjoy this game enough that I have stuck around learning it for a little over two years now. I did join and belong to one of the games many Guilds, "The Imperial Trades", before a change within the Guild made the decision to freelance for a while seem attractive. Now, I wander about learning different things, things that I did not pursue before. Duelling is one of those things. While I don't in any way think I'm good at it, over my personal objections, Perlan made a rule adjustment just so I could attend and participate. This was the rule concerning the minimum of 150 in endurance, to participate.

I informed him ingame [OOC'ly] that I needed to improve that stat so I could participate in the future, as I was only at level 130, currently, and he decided it may be better to lower that particular standard a bit, so others might be able to join. While I told him that posted rules should be adhered to, he felt it was too late for this particular event, to open a new class, that I suggested to him for "Dueling Begginners", as a prelude event for the Championship Duels. While he seems to think that idea has merit, and wants to use it in the future, it was too late for this event.

To me, He is being very openminded, listens to any and all suggestions, and is doing something POSITIVE for the players.

All I can do at this time, is state " Perlan, you are a credit to the player base in this game. Keep it up. I'll help you in the future with an event, if you need it."

Post by: Vannaka on February 06, 2009, 07:36:19 pm: Bah, tournament is rigged. I don't see any rule that says Vannaka can't enter amateur class... it says 60+ in weapon/armor is required for expert, but doesn't say it disqualifies you from entering amateur anywhere. Bogus.
