Alright We've 5 days till the registration closes. Acting on Shine's point, OUR registration will be closing on the 10th. That gives anyone who doesn't make it 2 days to register in something else.

So, I'm curious, just how are we going to decide anyway?

LordPsycho · Posted: Fri Jul 07, 2006 8:14 pm Post subject:

And when are you giving me the name of a judge

Goron40 · Posted: Fri Jul 07, 2006 8:29 pm Post subject:

Shine: I've got a cool votey system in mind.

DP: We'll pick our judge when we pick our team.

Which reminds me. If anyone would like to NOT be a contender, or NOT be a judge, speak now, or you might get selected for such a position.

I'd rather not be a judge. Trust me, I am no good at that sort of thing.

Please, I'd rather be fighting along-side the team than someone who just sits there and judges

Goron40 · Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2006 11:29 am Post subject:

Alright time to decide. Everbody should PM me who they think the top four are, in order of how you rank them. You cannot rank yourself, so this makes it much easier. Those who did not register can vote as well, but I ask that you are from the guardians to vote (Out DP!). Here are your choices.

Goron (Goron40)
Firefly (Leporidae)
Jho'Lhak (Goliath_Bird_Eater)
Natu (TROT84)
Sekhmet (Shadowveil)
Whiteoak (Shine)

You have 24 hours starting now.

I don't feel qualified to be a judge and I have some time constraints.

I'd like to be a contestant, but I've got two weeks in August that I'll be gone. I'm assuming that this will be done by then, but its got me wondering. Do we want to also pick alternates incase things get delayed and some one chosen has to drop out?

Goron40 · Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2006 8:07 pm Post subject:

I'm keeping score of the votes so everyone will be ranked, and therefore the next one can pop in if someone drops out.

1st choice = 4 points
2nd choice = 3 points
ect. ect...

Four members left to vote...

Goron40 · Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2006 12:03 pm Post subject:

The tallys are in! Here's our team in order of rank:

Goliath_Bird_Eater
Goron40
Shine
Shadowveil

Congratulations to the other three. GBE, as you have twenty points, you are the team captain. I'll go announce our team in the Office.

As for Leporidae and Trot, DP wished for me to tell you that there are two openings on Blackstar's team, and two slots on GW's team.

"I'll go in black star." Natu runs to the booth.

(To make thins easier, Natu's nickname is Trot. But when you saw it, be prepared if shurikin come at you. Laughing

So, what kinds of strategy and or preparations are legitimate, I saw someone (?in "Office"?) asking about buying weaponry. Can I develop new, but specific, spells (people tend to ignore the mental mood ones and Shine by himself hasn't as much offense.) I only want to do what is legitimate, but I don't want to be unprepared.

Do we work as four individs. or do we plan teamwork and coordinated attacks or defenses?

OK fearless leader lead on...

I have unofficially put a freeze on making of new items until the tournement is over, with the exception of 3kuls limited edition charms, as they were to celebrate an important milestone for blackstar.

GBE · Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2006 4:28 pm Post subject:

We got a judge? I didn't see anything about a judge. I think we need a judge.....

I'm leading? Shocked

Ooooooh.... I didn't even have to vote for myself Razz

Well, I'm hoping to attack as an elite unit... In fact, considering we have this secret area, then, i think, yes, we shall hone our skills as a team...

As to how many in arena simultaneously, as far as I know, we're all to participate at the same time, although, if I'm wrong, I'd would appreciate being corrected....

Anyways, off to our training thread, located nearby... Very Happy

Uncle Asriel has just agreed to be our judge. Everyone give him a nice thank you when you next see him. (A small bribe wouldn't hurt either Very Happy

)

And also everyone on the team go sign yourselves up as Gladiators.
