hi, you mention "no marauder armour", does this include the mara skirt?
i would presume skirts and/or shields would be allowed.





[ooc: Osquallo, i was replying in character.. i have removed 'pvp' as that could possibly be deemed an ooc game term.[/ooc]

Placio reads the flier and many grafitti scribbled below it and says out loud to the neighboring homins:

"Excuse me, this is going to sound rude, but i think people should learn to read. The civ requirements are clearly stated:"

Placio points to the last line of the flier

Placio remembers that:

Vassals= Matis aligned
Citizens= Tryker aligned
Initiates= Zorai aligned

and says to a curious homin:

"The only groups that are prohibited seem to be Fyros Patriots and Marauders, which is understandable since they are enemies of the Kingdom..."

That's not how I read that statement at all, obviously. It looked to me like an appositive phrase for the first three and then a tag-on for neutrals, especially given the usual sloppiness with respect to the use of the word "citizen." Your reading makes sense as well, Placio, so we will await clarification as to what Zendae intended.

OCC
It's shame all those occ comment but we clearly need to clarify things.

All civ are allowed to enter the tournament excepts fyros patriot for some rp reason that involve some of their people.
And it's not the choice of zendae at all, it's a matis "government" decision.
And we had never say that those type of tournemant will never go back after outside the kingdom.
(for information in french the civ title are "sujet matis, citoyen tryker, initié zorai")

And no mara armor at all.

Now if you can stop being full OOC here it would be nice thanks, it's a roleplay section.

Some posts have been moved to this new topic, please do not have OOC discussions in an RP thread.

Discussion of the RP event "Melee fighting TOURNAMENT"

Edited the link, thank you Binarabi for pointing this out! 

[OOC]
Please take discussions to the new thread (see above post)!

I thought Talkirc's post would be a good start of the thread and I hope you all will respect the decision to split the thread in posts concerning information on the event IC and in one thread for the discussion of it OOC. [/OOC]

oren pyr Serae Zendae,
I have been truely sorry when i learned we couldn't come smash a few matis head at your tournament ; but i would have probably have done the same thing (pure provocation, of course). The tournament idea is pretty nice (which doesn't surprise me as you are often seen in the Desert), but the weapon question is blurry to me : is the authorized weapon list the same for every match (and known before), or can it change every time ?

i wish good luck to every attendant, and attach a flower bucket that a vassal kindly gave to me (he won't need it where he is now, anyway).
Icus,
akenak Fyros and proud Matis Killer.

Zendae looked with a half smile at the flowers bouquet tinted with coagulated blood joined with the letter.

She red the letter and wonder why he had questions about the tournament while he could not attend.
But she decided to reply, in case things would change on the last minute.

The last preparations for the tournament were going well, and returns Zendae get about the concept itself were good.
However their was also teeth grinding. From strangers and other warmongers —this was not surprising— but also internal, in the Kingdom.
So that Zendae ends up summoned by the counsellor of the Karan, to talk about the situation.
It was admited that the tournament in its format had potential, and thus, it should be a opportunity for the Kingdom to shine.
To be sure it will be, one needed more time, and make all the cities of the Kingdom adhere to the project.

The tournament was then reported to Tria, Floris 27, 3rd AC 2581*

*Sunday january the 11th at 8pm UTC

As the new date of the tournament was comming, Zendae putted again some posters in Atys' capitals, including on walls of Pyr.
