Yliakum Warriors' LeagueNOTE: The period for new sign-ups has now expired, if you haven't signed-up... it's too late!!As tournaments can be won (and lost) easily through luck, I wanted to find a better way to find out who Yliakum's most skilled dueler really is. (Along with who Yliakum's other strongest fighters are.)
In this competition, all competitors will fight all other competitors.
The number of wins and losses will determine each fighter's ranking.
The competition is free for everyone to enter.
The closing date for sign-ups will be the end of this month.
All fights must be completed by March 14th, any duels that are not complete by the end of February will be regarded as a draw.
PRIZES Modified due to the economy crash!!!1st place - A pair of SW Daggers (can be exchanged for swords if preferred)
2nd place - A pair of SW Short Swords
3rd place - SW Dagger
4th place - SW Short Sword
5th place - Iron Short Sword
MAIN RULES 1. No potions.
2. No magic.
3. There must be one other competitor about to witness the duel.
4 . Both competitors should agree on the impartiality of the witness or witnesses. (that they trust the witnesses to be fair and confirm the outcome of the fight honestly.)
5. Both competitors must agree (in front of any witnesses) that the fight they are about to have is their official YWL duel.
6. No use of bugs/glitches/exploits/etc and no weapons with quality above 300 (as it's considered a glitch)
7. The "jumping rule" applies. (After both sides have challenged, before anybody is allowed to attack.. you must BOTH jump at the beginning of the duel a few times. If you attack without waiting for your opponent to jump at the beginning... the duel will be invalid.)
8. In the event that two people fall within the top-5 and have the same number of points, there will be a duel to decide who takes which place.
ANY TIME, ANYWHERE RULES These duels can take place at any location and at any time - but only if both competitors agree to a location. (If this is not possible, a die can be rolled to determine the location).
YWL MEETINGS In addition to the "Any Time, Anywhere" rules, there will also be YWL meetings.
There's no obligation to attend as this is essentially just a casual meeting of YWL competitors to get a bunch of duels out the way in one go!!
Typically, this will be at 10pm GMT on Saturdays, for a few hours -- but can also happen any time when several competitors are online at once and wish to meet up for duels.
The location is going to be the biggest 'bone of contention' here and so I will be taking votes from competitors as to where they would like to hold these meetings (at least the regular Saturday ones). (RP-Politically-Correct: The Arena ...or... Convenient: The Death Realm ...or... anywhere else?) ---- The choice is yours.. and either way, you could stick to dueling "Any Time, Anywhere" if the venue causes you any issues.
LAGGING & PREPAREDNESS>> If you are experiencing bad lag, do NOT fight and then complain about the lag.
(You can always have a warm-up fight to test lag out for both sides... remember... you both have to agree to the fight being official, you won't be forced to fight when conditions are bad for you... especially not when the server is choking!!)
>> Make sure you have fresh armor and the right weapons... If you come unprepared, you can't complain!!!
[For the sake of RP-correctness... a game-mechanics-death in this competition, should only be considered either yielding... or being injured beyond the point of continuing the fight. - So we may "beat" each other, but nobody is, in an RP sense, being killed. (Otherwise it wouldn't make sense us coming back to fight others) - just wanted to cover that before anyone complains!!]
