[marimbamonk 1498]

Disregarding the amount of players who have voted, my current player support count is at 17.

Event Planners, MC Names: Drakinroth ((BoogerBuster)), the GM team.

Event Date: Twice every Earth month.

Event Type: A worldwide Arena.

Players/Nations effected by the event: All.

Event Location: I've decided I want the tournament built on an island, and people can be transported there using Multiverse. Here is the format I want for the island:

The black circle represents the location of the arena.

The yellow circle represents the location of the docks/boat.

The orangish/red circle represents the size of the island (it can go a bit smaller.)

A close view:

Here was Natives interpretation (which I love!):

The Idea:

The Tournament:

The Asulon Tournament is a weekly tournament that pits groups of players against a challenge, while tons of other Asulites watch from the stadium. Watchers can gamble on winners or losers, and also enjoy food served by tournament organizers. There will usually be 1 event, the half time show, and then the final event.

Events:

There are two events every tournament, and there are two tournaments every Earth month. Some events can be done multiple times in one tournament. Each event is picked with the consent of the spectators.

Two players fight to the death with either archery, melee combat, or magic.

Melee Combatants Use: Iron Armor, Iron Sword

Overall Event Rules:

Fights are to the death. Monks are inside the tournament grounds to revive members (you are not required to re-roll a character).

If you are a contestant and die during an event, the monks will revive you and you will become a spectator unless you are in the half-time show, or you are required in the second event.

If you die during an event, you may apply to be in another event again.

If you are in an event that does not require you to kill someone, doing so will grant you instant disqualification.

Event Setup:

Each event could be setup by either a GM or the Arena Master.

Spawn Eggs or Player Commands:

In events that require mobs or animals, a GM could simply use player commands to spawn the desired creature.

If we were to allow the Arena Master to go into Creative Mode, he/she could use spawn eggs.

Tournament Half-Time:

There will usually be two events per week at one time. In between these events will be a half-time, and a half-time show.

During half-time, Contestants may:

• Leave if they were only required for the first event; or become a spectator for free

• Prepare themselves for the next event; free food, water

• Watch the half-time show from the spectators view

During half-time, Spectators may:

• Talk freely and use bathrooms

• Meet the contestants

• Watch the half-time show

• Leave the arena (no money will not be refunded if you do not return to see second event)

Half-Time Show

Players who are in the half-time show perform. The show may contain but is not limited to:

• Singing

• Dancing

• Drinking contests

• Acting

• Dragon attacks

• Other talents

Half-Time Participants

To become a part of the half-time show, you must first talk to a Tournament Official or the Arena master. Describe to them your talent and a small walkthrough of what you will be doing, and if it sounds like good show quality, you will be added to the show.

Contestants may be in the half-time show, but not as fighters. They must boast some other talent.

During events, if you are a half-time participant and not an event contestant, you will be seated in the spectators view, or in the underground portion of the arena preparing your act.

Half-Time participants receive free admittance to the arena. Due to this, there can only be a certain amount of participants.

Contestants:

Combatant Rules:

Contestants and Combatants are still required to role-play during the tournament. Lack of role-play during a conflict and then the murdering of another player is still bannable.

Arena Contestants may not:

• Throw or shoot projectiles into the audience

• Attempt to flee the tournament

• Dishonor a dead players body (cannibalism, dismemberment after death, etc.)

Contestant Attire:

Arena contestants are outfitted in signature Arena battle armor (iron armor provided by the tournament organizers) that is appropriate for the event, to keep combat fair. They are also given the same sword or other weapon for both sides.

Group battles or guild arenas are required to have a color that is distinguishable from the opponent, as far as clothing.

Signing Up as a Contestant:

In order to become a combatant in the Arena, you must show that you can RP, for this is an event that requires slightly less. We don't want to give players who can't RP a chance to to something that may let them continue not role-playing.

There will be a small application process if this is implemented. Most likely, a separate post will be made which is only for applying to become a contestant.

Once we know that you can role-play, you can choose which event to be reserved for, and when that event comes by, you will take part in it.

If there is an event that is short on contestants, we may pull a reservation out of his event and pull him into the current one.

Spectators:

Spectator Fee:

People who wish to see the arena are required to pay a very small fee (to pay for the cash prizes and such), and are then allowed to choose any seat in the arena.

Spectators receive tickets (maybe a piece of paper or something) that will allow them to come back into the arena if they leave at any time.

Tickets are useless at any tournament other than the one you paid at.

Spectator Rules:

Spectators are not allowed to:

• Jump into the fighting grounds

• Throw objects into the fighting grounds

• Cause trouble of any kind in the spectators seats

• Sell or trade goods on Arena grounds

Admittance

A boat (which is free to take) will transport anyone who wishes to visit the arena island; however, to get into the arena or see an event, you have to pay at the gate.

As with any event or gathering, weapons or armor owned by spectators are asked to be stored away inside the arena. Villainous acts will not be permitted.

Tournament Officials:

Food:

Tournament Officials will sell food to spectators during the arena for a fee. Again, spectators are not allowed to trade or resell goods on tournament grounds.

Official Attire:

Tournament Officials must be dressed in the employee attire to let contestants and spectators know who they are. Tournament officials are not allowed to change clothing until the arena event is completed.

(Arena Attire will be created if this is implemented)

Hosting:

A select few Tournament Officials will determine the Arena event for the week/month. Player consent will be looked upon.

Once the event has been chosen, players will be notified.

All rules that apply to spectators also apply to Tournament Officials.

Applying to become a Tournament Official:

Those who are trusted (and GMs) will be payed to oversee the arena as a Tournament Official.

Arena Master:

The Arena Master would preferably be either me (if this is permitted) or a GM.

The Arena Master would:

• Receive free admittance to Arena events (along with GMs)

• Help organize arena events

• Call out when an event starts

• (If this is permitted) Go into creative mode to use spawn eggs

All Players:

Rules:

If you want to talk OOC during the Arena, please /tell each other, or use OOC chat. NO OOC CHAT will be permitted in role-play chat. We do not want to clutter it.

All server rules still apply while in the Arena.

Arena Architecture:

The Arena will consist of a large amount of seating that is raised above the fighting grounds. Directly across from the main entrance, in the spectators seats, is a larger seat for the Arena Master.

The Arena will have an underground portion for contestants to prepare themselves and talk amongst themselves. In this underground portion will also be a Tournament Officials' office for them to prepare themselves to distribute food and dress in their attire.

The outside architecture will mainly be based on Roman arenas.

Times:

The Asulon Tournament will be held twice an Earth month, which is a total of 4 events and 2 half-times.

Please give feedback on this idea! Thank you!

Sincerely,

Brunhyldir.

Holy cow. Incredible effort and organization put into writing this. I support this event completely! :D + 1!

[Dun_Irongut 104]

This is great! You may want to add axes to most of the lists, except jousting? Dwarves are people too..

[marimbamonk 1498]

Of course.

If a contestant prefers to use an axe rather than a sword, that should be fine.

[Dash_Rogers 129]

this stadium better look better than any arena every built in aegis.

I want to see a gladiator last man standing with lions!

there should be some events where its only role play battle, some that are just PvP, and most that are both. predetermined.

[shiftnative 3033]

A fabulous post and idea - Perhaps we could talk about where this will be?

[Aetherian 33]

Very well constructed and written! Well done to you sir.

Here, have a cookie.

[marimbamonk 1498]

Perhaps we could Native.

I'll ask some nation leaders and make a poll or something.

When I get home from school in a few hours I'll do that, and make a few changes to this.

[CloakandDagger 134]

Id think it be great to have the stadium inside the Monks lands.

Also id like to sign up to be a contestant, i dont quite know how to do that so ill just post some basic character info...

Once i find out where you will put the stadium ill try to get signed up IG

MC Name-Lib216

RP Name-(subject to change) Elrith_Pelreemr

Race- Wood Elf

[Rusty7x 114]

I think this idea is marvellous. I would love to watch seen as I am no good at PVP.

Also I defiantly think you should hold this in the Grand Alrasian Arena.

[ℓαтєяяє ~ 236]

Really, really great idea. We should definetly have it near cloud temple, as that's the center of all the nations.

[MediocreGamer 838]

I propose we host this event in Alras, our Grand Arena is nearing finish and it looks quite beautiful. We are very close to the cloud temple as well, a two minute walk.

[PtahWithin 1318]

Though some may be concerned with Alras's non-neutrality on some events, I assure you that no outside conflicts will be persecuted within the city should the games be hosted in our city. The Military will make sure of that.

[marimbamonk 1498]

As much as I am sure that your nation is neutral, I do not want this in a city of a specific race or faction. Even if it is neutral, the only place that truly is such is the Cloud Temple and the Wilds.

As for my thoughts where this should be located:

• Not in Alras (or any specific nation for that matter; if they want to hold an arena, they'll make their own)

Either:

• In the Cloud Temple district

Or, my better idea:

• In the wilds, with a fast travel boat going to it FROM the cloud temple. Those who cannot pay the small boat fee can walk an extremely long path.

EDIT:

To be honest, I thought Alras was a completely human nation this entire time; after reading up some of the Lore on the wiki, I am more open to holding these rules in Alras.

However, my preferred course of action is what I stated above.

This tournament could be a good test on the fast travel mechanic.

[RossssM 61]

Alras is the perfect place to hold this. Minutes away from the cloud temple and a neutral host. The grand arena is nearly built and is looking to host events like such!
