Each team must consist of 5 warriors of each of a *different* style. A team may consist of one or more managers, and each manager can belong to only one team. Managers who are able to field 5 warriors of different styles for themselves are STRONLY encouraged to do so. But for those that can't, combination teams are definitely allowed. Management reserves the right to veto any combination teams deemed "overpowered". (Unlikely but you never know.) What: The King of Primus is a bracket-style competition where teams of 5 warriors fight against each other in a match-play like system. Teams will be seeded 1-16 based on the AVERAGE rank in Primus of their warriors. (As of turn 594) Warriors MUST be listed in the Turn 594 Newsletter in order to be eligible for the competition. In case of ties in average rank, ties will be broken by the ranking of the highest warrior. Then each team will have a ranking of 1-5 based on their ranking in Primus. (As of turn 594) During match play, The #1 warrior from Team A will match up with the #1 warrior from Team B, the #2 Team A warrior will match up with the #2 warrior from Team B, and so forth. Warrior rankings will remain static throughout the competition as will manager seedings. The King of Primus will be the one team that goes 4-0. Even though the contest is single elimination to determine the winner, there will be a consolation round and everyone will have 4 matches--in the end everyone will have the opportunity to play 4 matches and find out where their stable really ranks in Primus! When: The contest will take place starting on Primus Turn 596. It will run for 4 turns ending in Turn 599. However, remember that your warriors must be listed in the 594 newsletter to be eligible and it's not a bad idea to climb up high in the rankings now to earn as high a seed as you can. In case more than 16 teams sign up, Turn 595 will the "play in" round, where teams seeded on the lower end of the bracket will compete for the right to enter the competition. The number of teams who need to compete in the "play-in" round will be determined on the number of teams who enter the competition. For example, if 18 teams sign up, then the 15th seed will play the 18th seed and the 16th seed will play the 17th seed for the right to enter the main bracket. (Similar to how it works in March Madness) How: To enter, you can sign up in this thread, write an ad in the 102 newsletter or PM/Email Manager with the following information. The Name(s) of managers on a team, the 5 warriors with ID#s of your team, the style of your warriors, and what warrior you want to select for a possible Royal Court Selection. (See prize section) Example: Manager's Team --------------- 1. Bonnie (29-2780) (AB) 2. Weird Head Boy (63-2216) (LU) * 3. Koji Shikeru (40-2619) (SL) 4. Skyfire (37-2065) (PL) 5. Patience (1-2619) (TP) * Denotes Royal Court Prize Pick Since the contest takes place in the arena, you'll have to read the newsletter and the forums to figure out who you're going to match up against. We'll post all the managers and teams before the contest begins as well to make it easier. Prizes: The winner of the competition will be named the King of Primus!!! As a winner, you get to control the fate of the arena for a very special Turn 600! The Winner of the contest can select two "decrees" from a list of items that will effect how Primus plays out on it's historic Turn 600! They are: ========== - Rename the Arena for 1 turn - Have a non-automated spy report written. - Increase/Decrease the Skill Learning for the turn - Increase/Decrease the Training % for the turn. - Increase/Decrease the Kill Percentage for the turn. - No Challenges and/or Avoids - Bring back the Defend Gate Challenge for a turn - Have an NPC Match-Up Week! -If you have other ideas, the commission may consider it, but will have the right to refuse. As the King of Primus, you also get the first member of your Royal Court! When entering a team, each team who participates must designate one of their warriors to be in the "twin pool." (No DYOs or roll-up altering warriors allowed.) After winning, one warrior will be drawn from the pool at RANDOM, and you will have the option to be able to "twin" that warrior's numbers and stick him on an existing team (no-tourney arenas not allowed) if you so desire. Consider carefully your odds of winning when choosing a warrior to donate to the Royal Court. You may opt out if you desire--but if you win, you don't get this part of the prize. The Consolation Champion (9th place) gets 5 Team Roll-Ups. For everyone else, there is an exciting Consolation Prize Pool to keep everyone motivated to finish high as possible. There are 16 items in the Consolation Prize Pool--one of each item. First place gets his first choice of item in the pool, second place gets the 2nd choice and so on, and whoever finishes last gets his choice of remaining items. Here are the items in the Consolation Prize Pool: Consolation Prize Pool ======================= +1 Init Potion -- Adds 1 Init to your base.

How could it do otherwise. The arenamaster advised me to "smell carefully." I did, and once I recovered my equanimity, I went after the situation with vigor and chlorox. Between the Jellyfish and the squashed whatever-it-was, this place needs a thorough cleaning. I just hope that, if I'm not here next time, the relevant Keeper of the Runeblade has cleanly habits. I have scrubbed, and burned juniper incense, but the atmosphere in this appartment is by no means fully recovered. Elayron REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hullo. We're back, and honestly there's not much for me to say. There were sixteen fights this turn (three of them involving stand-in fighters). That means twenty-nine actual gladiators showed up. No challenges or avoids, and one death--which, although of interest, is hardly good news, is it? In our title fight, Elayron was matched against ??Radar??, who defeated him, thus squashing our chance of getting a column this coming turn. Elayron, thanks for your column though. Vigor and chlorox, heh! ELAYRON (51-1492) (86-61-0,224) of BLOOD + ORANGES fought ??RADAR?? (82-20310) (99-101-1,242) of DYSLEXICS UNTIE! II. ELAYRON was devastated by ??RADAR?? in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight. Despite this loss, Elayron is still our top Parry-Lunger, and ??Radar?? is, as usual, our top Wall of Steel and our Overall Popularity Leader. He won't be so popular with me next turn if he doesn't write a column. I'm just going to list the rest of the fights, okay? JUSTIN (6-6179) (24-41-3,126) of THE LADY'S LIST fought DESIREE (104-23) (20-15- 4,150) of ET AL. JUSTIN was slaughtered by DESIREE in a 1 minute one-sided fight. Et Al? This fake Desi is not only kind of mean, she picks silly team names. She had another fight today, and stuck with "Et Al." Sheesh! ZAKAU (5-4623) (45-51-0,193) of JOHNS fought SHEWISH GIANT (104-25) (0-0-0,181) of TACKLE BOX. ZAKAU savagely defeated SHEWISH GIANT in an exciting 2 minute gory melee. TASHI'SINDAR (1-3249) (77-56-3,193) of STORM RIDERS II fought CLIVE (6-5215) (44-36-5,167) of THE LADY'S LIST. TASHI'SINDAR vanquished CLIVE in a popular 1 minute mismatched brawl. Mr. 'Sindar is our top Lunger. HIKARAN DAAL (1-2070) (77-92-1,190) of STORM RIDERS fought GEN. JACKSON (6-6285) (23-14-2,164) of THE VOLS. HIKARAN DAAL defeated GEN. JACKSON in a crowd pleasing 4 minute match. Hikaran Daal is top Total Parry, hence the longer fight. But it wasn't too scummy. Well, it really was, but since the fight list was so short, the spectators were glad to have a little extra time to finish their popcorn. CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (115-138-3,197) of ILLFANG PACT fought MARK (5-4088) (57- 138-3,179) of JOHNS. CRYSOPRASE bested MARK in a popular 5 minute duel. Crysoprase is top Parry-Striker. LENNON (5-4087) (34-30-1,194) of JOHNS fought TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (124- 135-0,173) of HIGHLANDERS. LENNON viciously subdued TOLAIS DEEPHEART in a crowd pleasing 3 minute bloody match. Lennon is top Slasher. MEN WORKING (38-4189) (67-225-1,176) of JUST BECAUSE fought JAMMY LARKE (5-4926) (47-34-0,141) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5. MEN WORKING defeated JAMMY LARKE in a 2 minute gruesome melee. Top Basher, Top PR. ADABEMIS & BALMADOR (42-1671) (23-39-0,113) of HIGHLANDERS fought ZANE GREY (21- 4810) (33-70-2,126) of AUTHORS. ADABEMIS & BALMADOR was vanquished by ZANE GREY in a popular 2 minute uneven duel. Zane Grey is top Striker. MIKEL (6-6190) (31-31-2,138) of THE LADY'S LIST fought HELENE JUSTE (5-4875) (29-45-1,101) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5. MIKEL overpowered HELENE JUSTE in a popular 1 minute one-sided melee. JERI LOUGH (5-4840) (39-54-0,91) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought HOFFA (5-4348) (14- 136-0,70) of JOHNS. JERI LOUGH demolished HOFFA in a 2 minute bloody mismatched match. This is the Hoffa who was this turn's least popular fighter. HOFFA (5-4622) (37-59-0,62) of JOHNS fought PHILTHRY (42-2079) (23-25-0,69) of HIGHLANDERS. HOFFA was bested by PHILTHRY in an exciting 4 minute battle. 2 + 2 = 4 (38-4190) (47-145-0,46) of JUST BECAUSE fought BOOKIE'S GUARD (104-5) (35-18-0,75) of KNEECAPPERS. 2 + 2 = 4 viciously subdued BOOKIE'S GUARD in a crowd pleasing 4 minute bloody bout. HOFFA (5-4299) (18-67-0,57) of JOHNS fought PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (29-43- 0,53) of HIGHLANDERS. HOFFA was overpowered by PELIS THE TRUE in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided duel. SATCHEL (6-6215) (36-32-2,38) of THE LADY'S LIST fought PENDRU ROST (5-4956) (32-75-0,75) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5. SATCHEL vanquished PENDRU ROST in a 1 minute one- sided fray. ALOYICIUS (6-5045) (21-41-2,35) of THE LADY'S LIST fought KATIRONA MURH (5-4929) (50-37-2,80) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5. ALOYICIUS was devastated by KATIRONA MURH in a popular 1 minute mismatched brawl.
