When I get the chance, I'll random-up the brackets and throw up a few threads in the Earth forum. Official rules for the tournament are as follows:

Two posts each
Opening poster will be determined by me and announced in the OP
48-hours allowed between posts
24 grace-period between rounds
300 word minimum, obviously
No word-count max, but be reasonable, please

I think that covers everything. Since "soon" isn't very nice, the tournament will officially start sometime on Friday.

[Mal Nova]

Soon... shoulda been perfect Now I have to RP sober...... SHIT!

[Kaden]

Brackets a little blurb from me are up in the OP.

How do you guys want the fights to end? I can write up endings if you want (they probably won't be particularly long) or I can PM the winner (or the loser, actually) with the judgment and they can write it. Or... some other option I haven't thought of.

EDIT: Also, what do you guys want to be done about people who go over the 48-hour limit between posts? If you leave it up to me, it'll be auto-DQ.

[Cain]

Write the endings please. Otherwise they won't be Kadentastic.

[Mal Nova]

Yeah... Want he said....

And either Auto DQ or that means they miss that RP... time extensions will just lead to prolonged inactivity

[Kaden]

Yeah, I'm not big on time extensions.

[Sage]

Skipping that turn is actually a good idea.

Penalty's not as harsh as an auto DQ but it still definitely stacks odds against the offending player, what with them being able to dish out 1 rp vs 2 that their opponent can do. Unless they miss the deadline for both, then it would obviously be auto-DQ.

Granted, I'm not in the tournament. <.<

Shou, i just thought i'd give you a heads-up for when you post, Alex doesn't have the ability to create energy, although he is extremely adept at manipulating it (psychokinesis/ki specialization). So, in combat if you want to have him use an energy attack he wouldn't be able to just form a ki ball in his hand and throw it at you - he'd supercharge a series of stones and telekinetically whip them at you, or something like that. He also has a handgun and is in the habit of augmenting the bullets with raw energy, through his psychokinesis, so feel free to utilize that too if necessary. As for his personality, limited dialogue would probably be best but Trafford tends to be a sarcastic, witty, smart-ass . . . if that helps at all.

[Cain]

If we all post every 12-15 hours we ensure ample time for one another to roleplay again.

[Alexander Trafford]

everyone has 48 hours to post from the end of the last post correct? so, for instance, Mal Nova has 48 hours from like 12:30 pm EST today? (when Cain posted)

[Mal Nova]

Thats how I understand it to be Mino....

That means if the person thats suppose to be the first poster... doesnt post within 48 hours from Kadens initial post... they or DQed or they lose the chance to post that first post...(Which ever whoever decides)

[Kaden]

everyone has 48 hours to post from the end of the last post correct? so, for instance, Mal Nova has 48 hours from like 12:30 pm EST today? (when Cain posted)

Correct.

[Alexander Trafford]

say the first poster fails to RP within the first 48 hours, is that an automatic DQ (assuming i can get a first post up to defeat their abscence) or are we just going to nix that turn so that i can still have a max amount of possible posts of two and they can only have one (since the first one was skipped since they missed the deadline)?

[Cain]

I thought it was 48 hours between each round. D=

[Cain]

How long (word count) does a post have to be to receive a 10/10? Granted 300 is a minimum, you usually don't get an essay's grade for writing a paragraph.

[Kaden]

It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it.
