Arena Contest Quest

[Rocket!]

[Requested by Angelo]

ALRIGHT LISSEN UP FOLKS, I'M ONLY GONNA SAY THIS ONCE!

-silence-

Righto. Name's Phil. You know that, I know that, blah blah blah... I'm here t' talk to you about the newest thrill we'll have going pretty soon:

The Show Cup!

I know, I know, we're still working on the name. But let's focus people.

The gist of it, is that you an' a partner'll have to put on a performance of sorts. A show. Get it? Heh heh...

Anywho, here's the real twist:

The teams you're up against? It's them who do the judgin'.

Of course, you'll be judgin' them too. So don't think everything is wrong in the world. Or that we're low on drachma.

I never said that.

So... eight people, four teams, four rounds. I'll be the judge fourth time 'round, 'cause it'll be you and your partner only in that one, and...

...well, I think that's it!

No no, wait, one more thing:

None of that "Third Place" or "Second Place" stuff. All or nothin' in this one. Prize goes to the big guy who wins this thing.

So, who's in?

---

Coupla things...

Rule #1: Phil'll be picking the teams.

Rule #2: Phil reserves the right to whack you in the head for voting ridiculously low.

Rule #3: Phil is law.

Rule #4: Chronic stupidity is for wimps. Wimps get kicked out.

Rule #5: Know how to string a few words together. If you can't get a little fancy with words, you won't be going far. Unless everyone else needs a dictionary too, in which case go for it.

Rule #6: Use of abilities is mandatory! Impress! Be showy! Get the crowd (for there will be one) to clap loudly and boo at the judges that insult you.

Rule #7: Teams have one vote when it's time to judge. It's your guys' responsibility to PM each other and decide on all that.

Rule #8: Same goes for your strategy. You won't get the chance to discuss it in the thread. (Because you don't want anyone seeing that anyway!)

Rule #9: It is a Quest... and the goal is to win the contest. So that means if you don't make it to the top, you don't make it to the prize.

Rule #96: AIM!

Rule #10: You're allowed (and encouraged!) to post while someone's performing with internal commentary. Talking though, or distracting the performers, will result in Phil whacking you.

Rule #11: You'll have 5 turns to perform, unless Phil says otherwise.

Rule #12: Environment. You got pillars, you got the stadium, heck, you can get a little crazy and have some show in the audience area. But if anyone gets hurt, Phil will get involved. And he has Herc on speed dial a mean attitude toward rule breakers.

Rule #13: No rule 13. Weird number...

Rule #14: The rules will change slightly with each round. Round Two won't exactly be like Round One, for example. All these rules apply to all the Rounds, and Round One. Changes will begin to happen with Round Two. ;D

Rule #15: The prizes are High Jump (version 1), and The Show Cup! The Show Cup can be traded in for an Energy Crystal. Energy Crystals halve the amount of synthesis materials you need for a synthesis recipe!

So... 10 slots available.

Who's interested?

Rule #96: AIM!

I see what you did there...

So, if I understand this correctly, this "tournament" is basically a form of RP showmanship? No long protracted battles, just two people working together to write the most impressive, stage-stealing posts they're able?

Impressive concept! ;D

Sign me up, Rocket! I assume it's one character per person, yes?

[Rocket!]

Oh. Right. (*adds the template for sign-ups*)

Yep! One character per entrant! Also a yes on the performance bit! Credit Angelo for the awesomeness that is this idea: this Quest is from a rare Quest Request!

I dunno why, but everyone seems to forget you can ask for a Quest. ~shrug~

More info on Angelo's request can be found here, such as the requested prizes!

[Renewed Gemini]

I'm just letting you know that if my character is accepted, I will be signing up. He should be accepted fairly soon if Akito could stop being lazy. So if you could save me a spot, that'd be cool. If not...that's understandable.

I do have to say that I love your quests, though, Rocket.

[Heroic Bilby]

If I can get Yami on board I'll join. I know Phil picks teams not us and all but I'll take my chances. XD

[Dante]

Good thing I saved my Twin Stars >.> They'll come in handy. Sign Dante up as usual. I'll win at least ONE Olympus related thing.

Username: Dante

Character: Dante Hyubasi

Profile: The winner... Hands down.

[Rocket!]

Sounds great everyone! I'm surprised to see Herc'll be joinging this one...

Dante's been added, given he used the template. xD

NEW RULE: You cannot control the crowds. Phil will be the maestro for that!

We're up to four participants! FOUR SPOTS LEFT!

[Rocket!]

OO

Didn't see that coming.

You're on the big list Pryth!

Three slots remain, folks! Get 'em while they're hot!

[Rocket!]

Oh hey, I guess I should mention the prizes.

First, you'll get High Jump, the first version.

Second, you'll get The Show Cup! An impressive item that stands at a meter high, and shines radiantly at any time of day!

...but you wouldn't care about that, now would you? Well, howabout this!

The Show Cup Trophy can be traded in at the Shops for an Energy Crystal. Energy Crystals are very rare synthesis items that cuts the needed amount of synthesis items for a recipe in half.

How about dem apples?

[Akito]

I'm sorry I didn't ignore my vomiting and migraines to approve your profile, Gem.

I'll join, I need to do an arena match that actually finishes.

Username: Akito
Character: Alexis Fon Sariah
Profile: Link

It's actually pending editing. But should be done by the time this starts.

[Rocket!]

Looks like I need to clarify...

This is the Show Cup, folks! The only objective is to wow your opponents into giving you high scores.

You could fight, do some death-defying trick, even a comedy routine for all Phil cares.

Your job is to impress. And maybe not kill anyone just yet. (That's right, a Quest where there's 0% chance of DEATH! HOWABOUT THAT?)

So yeah, you can fight. If your partner's okay with it. ;D

I'll go ahead and bring your character in Akito, but I'll have to ask you update the link with the new "Perfected Profile" url on that post, and post here that the char's accepted so I can update the big list up top!

2 SLOTS REMAIN!
