Oh-ho... yes. I'm bringing it back, baby. And this time... we're gonna finish it. :hood:
Wait... you don't know what The Tournament is? Fine, I'll tell you:
Rules/Regulations
The Tournament is a forum RPG where players are imprisoned, forced to fight for "entertainment" values. Before each round, I will declare who's fighting who, where the fight will take place, and any additional objectives.
As the players fight, they may only perform strikes, blocks, attacks, or whatever else is suited. NO GOD-MODDING IS ALLOWED. Also, the round ends once a player(s) A.) achieve the objective or B.) die. Do note that only the player himself can make the decision to die. The killer may not. But... if the fight drags on with no end in sight, I will intervene. Players may PM me if they wish to end the fight (with them dying).
After each round, a point will be added to the victor(s), and a point will be subtracted from the loser(s). There is no limit to how many points you may earn, but if you obtain a total score of -3, you're dead.
While imprisoned, players may talk to one another, act in character, or whatever else is suitable. But, you are not allowed to kill each other nor break out of your cells (you will die if you try... :kz:). Only at certain points (which I will indicate) will you be given specific freedoms and/or actions.
If you're confused on what to do, I recommend visiting this link. (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?13401-The-Tournament&highlight=Tournament)

Biography: Known as "Outlaw Jack", Johnathon Russell Wescott was a notoriously famous and ruthless outlaw who ravaged the Old West and terrorized the very inhabitants who lived in it. When he died, a curse was bestowed upon him, forbidding him eternal rest, and causing endless torment from the souls in which he killed from his mortality. Now brought back from the grave, Jack must fight once more to finally get the sleep he has mourned for centuries.

RockSauron aims to find a way into the Demonic Realm so that he may gain the powers of the demons and rule the world.

Hired as an astronaut by the U.S. Government, he was launched into space to test a top-secret Nanotech space suit which actually connected itself to the user's skin.

However, he survived the explosion, and during re-entry his suit became permanently grafted to him, granting him bio-enhancements such as speed, strength and near-indestructibility. Since then he's been working as a mercenary, thought dead by the U.S.
Weakness: Excess amounts of electricity (His suit is resistant to smaller amounts). His visor also updates him with data and weak points on his targets; destroying it will negate this advantage, although this is more or less difficult to do. This will also reveal his horribly scarred face.

So, if you love to slaughter other members, be a hero, or just act like a total bad-donkey, then I recommend this game for you. Once I get enough participants, I'll start the game in a new thread titled The Tournament II.
That just leaves us with one question: Are you ready? :kz:
