LOCATION: Gladiator Thunderdome arena located in Aceopolis
TIME: 8:00pm EST
DAY: Sunday, April 19th
PRIZES: The Cunning ACEs will take care of half of the pot. However many teams sign up, we will match their 10k entry fee with another 10k. THE CUNNING ACES WILL PUT UP AT LEAST 100K IN CASH PRIZES EVEN IF WE HAVE LESS THAN 10 TEAMS! The prizes are as follows:

There will be NO 3rd place prizes.

2 PLAYERS VS 2 PLAYERS

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. There will be a Ref bot with a countdown and will cast a wall of stone when 10 seconds to no healing. Once the wall drops, NO HEALING!
#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.) Finals Matches ONLY 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.

Come one come all. Signups that night will begin at 7:30PM, the IRC room will be posted in #secondage by 7:00PM for further directions.

Jaster: You are incorrect, the rules did not include anything about wall of stone last tournament. OBVIOUSLY we learned from our mistakes, sorry I am human also. This time we will be casting the wall of stone to signal the end of any type of healing spell so it will be clear as day. The wall will cast 10 seconds before the beginning of sudden death therefore when it drops there will be NO HEALING ALLOWED.

The Daily Planet - Special Emergency Issue

This just in! The ACE tournament signups have caused an outrage when innocent bystanders were lured, executed, and looted! Crys of "Scam" can be heard echoing out in the streets of the Kingdom of Britannia. What sort of city hosts an event only to kill innocent Citizens attending this event? For shame, ACE!

It won't be like that next time, seeing as how there will probably be a guard team roaming. Furthermore Hemp we tried to be nice to you, and you still griefed the event in your small little way. I think hemp should be perma banned from all events seeing how this situation played out. Its obvious you can't be nice to some people.

We should also place forensic spec, detect hidden, tracking, SNOOP mules throughout event to weed out bombers, stealthers, & thieves. An all over tactical team would put a end to random bull shit, just need to sort out details and responsibilities.
