Magic Shop Duelling championship

[dragnoor]

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.

Parallo if you knew how Proglin put together such great events maybe you can tell us so that it can be done again.
Even Zorbels asked for this once before http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=33776.0

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.

Please remove all mention of the Octarchy from your original post Perlan.

We as PL'ers understand Rp'ers point of view.
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?

[Parallo]

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.

[Mathy Stockington]

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.

[Parallo]

No one is arguing, Mathy. People are misreading and overreacting.

[Sktn]

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...

[Parallo]

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

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...

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 



[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 



[Edit: Please don't triple post use the Modify button

[Parallo]

Triple post 

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

[perlyboy]

[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]
