Titans of Winter Tournament 2014
Titans of Winter
Frostmaw's third annual Titans of Winter tournament is set to begin, in celebration of its prior winners, the Warlord Eboric and the wizard Svilfon. This year, the tournament comes with a twist: to honor its alliances, Frostmaw's tournament will be travelling around the realm, with each duel visiting a different allied city to provide a unique battleground to participants.
Along with each battlefield taking place in a different city, environmental effects unique to a region may also be in effect, so keep on your toes, fighters, for Gualon, Venturil, Trist'oth, Vailkrin, and the rest may have surprises in store for you!
Rules and Details
- Tournament will be single elimination rounds.
- No entry fee required.
- The duel dates and times will be announced days prior to allow duelists and watchers to prepare. Any scheduling issues need to be sorted before the day of the duel, and no-shows will be DQ'd while a possible Back-up Entrant takes their place.
- The region for each duel will be announced prior, but the exact location and 'effects' will only be announced just before the duel is set to begin. This is not intended to give one side or the other advantages, but provide an additional challenge in the spirit of dueling.
- Duels will be 3 rounds, with either 10 or 15 minute rounds as agreed by duelists.
- Duels will be posted on the wiki, please record and send your duels to Satoshi if she is not present for it.
- Duelists will be required to find their judges at the time of the duel. If none are available that you can agree on, it is suggested to begin the duel, record all posting times, and send it to judges afterward. Satoshi intends to be available during each duel and is willing to judge.
- Duelists are allowed to add further stakes to their duels if they so desire. If no additional stakes are agreed upon, 'auto-hit round to the winner is the default stakes.
- Guests may organize betting pools if they so desire.
- RP from the audience is permitted and encouraged, but please refrain from directly interacting with the duelists, for the sake of fairness.
Hmail-Friendly Judges
A list of judges that are willing to give votes by hmail if present judges can't be found (feel free to add your name to this list if you are one):
Prizes
- Staying true to the theme of Alliances, there is a prize at the end of each duel. The winner of a duel will receive a custom item/weapon/armor that embodies the 'spirit' of the region they won in. It is the leader of that region's discretion what said item will be (it can be as simple or elaborate as they desire), and is meant as a trophy of your victory rather than a powerful artifact. The more wins you acquire, the more items you obtain.
- Chartsend prize: Eel-Skin Bandoleer
- Gualon prize: Gualonian Fire-Invoking Scabbard
- Alithrya prize: Naga Fang-Lined Bracer
- Kingdom of Enchantment prize: Pixie-Dusted Laurel Headband
- Venturil prize: Venturilian Knotwork Engraved Stein
- Trist'oth prize: Ornate Faerie-Fire Lantern or Fallen Matron's Scourge (Winner's choice)
- Vailkrin prize: Vailkrian Spidersilk Scarf
- Frostmaw prize: Black Ice Weapon (weapon-type will depend on victor's specialty)
- The championship duel will include a Frostmaw custom item and 35,000 gold.
- Second Place will earn 15,000 gold, courtesy of wizardly donations.
