Who would have thought Ishgard would ever see a peaceful parade of man and dragon?

Jousters, to Your Lanes!

The Lord Commander has given us leave to hold a jousting tournament in Falcon's Nest at the airship landing (x32, y39.7) from 5-6:30 EST. We have 8 gallant knights tilting for honor and glory, hosted and moderated by Aegir.

Welcome to the Coliseum!

Our petition to the Lord Speaker to host gladiatorial matches in Foundation has been approved! We will be hosting a tournament in Foundation, just southeast of the aetheryte plaza, from 5-630 EST. It will be 9 matches of no-holds-barred combat with a 1 million gil prize for the winner, hosted and moderated by Vahn Nocturne.

Signups are closed, brackets will be posted later today.

RULES:

The Rolls will be out of 100. That means your rolls will be: /random 100

Both parties will roll for initiative first, to see which will attack first. A fight will look like the following example:

Initiative Roll A: 50 B: 100

B goes first

B: Posts their description of their ATTACK B: Rolls 33 (For their attack) A: Rolls 5 (For their Defense) A: Posts their description that they have been hit, AND they post their COUNTER ATTACK A: Roll 80 (For their Attack) B: Rolls 90 (For their Defense) B: Posts their description that they have DODGED, AND they post their COUNTER ATTACK

This will Continue until one hits 3 Points. Points are awarded per Hit Landed. Winner will be based on Points, OR the most Points once the time limit is reached.

Fights have an 8 MINUTE time limit. (I have a timer, please be aware of this - this is to ensure everyone has time to flex their RP muscles).
