Aceopolis 1 vs 1 Gladiator Thunderdome
Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:51 pm
The Cunning Aces invites you all to participate in the first (of many, hopefully) PvP tournaments taking place in, what we like to call, the "GLADIATOR THUNDERDOME!"
ENTRY FEE: 5,000gp
LOCATION: Gladiator Thunderdome arena located in Aceopolis
TIME: 12:00pm EST
DAY: Sunday, February 22nd
PRIZES: First place receives 70% of the entry fees, 2nd place receives 30%
RULES:
#1.) No magic weapons, armor, jewelry, or wands.
#2.) Only refresh potions will be allowed.
#3.) 5 minute limit on duels. Healing yourselves past the 5 minute limitation results in a disqualification.
#4.) No summon spells of any kind allowed.
#5.) No pets of any kind.
#6.) No poisoned weapons.
#7.) No looting competitors.
#8.) No cutting corpses.
#9.) Winner will be decided by a best 2 out of 3 match-up to try and avoid those random "omfg he hit me 67x in a row with a hally for 40 damage each swing omfofmfmfwtf, Derrick! exploit!" bullshit duels.
The problem is, as some of you have pointed out, the time. Since we only have one arena and there will be so many people participating, it might get lengthy. Another problem will be macers. I would suggest using your food sparingly until Derrick can provide us with a better suited and upgraded Thunderdome for future events!
I ask that you all be on your best behavior. A few people on this server have problems with me (or ACE) in the field and I ask that you keep it on the field and not at these events. We're not doing this for any reason other than to create some high value competition for a PvP community. I know PvP'rs could really make use of the winners pot from an event like this considering most of them hate monster stomping. I used to run tournaments very similar to these on Great Lakes during Renaissance and they always were a huge success. So hopefully, I'll be able to carry on the tradition here on Secondage.
We hope to see you all there!
