Might as well have Saevitia enter this thing, too!
Re: The Elminster Open
To clarify, does disallowing consumable/activated items and activated item abilities include weapons? I'd assume yes but want to be sure.

Ibrech is in!

We have enough interest to merit a season 2. We still need more Witness volunteers to observe and record bouts.

I could help with the witnessing/observing/recording. Just depends on when it all happens!Talos wrote:We have enough interest to merit a season 2. We still need more Witness volunteers to observe and record bouts.

If a different PC of the same player is allowed, Mers would be happy to witness
Obviously not my own fights, but the others.

I trained up double-edged bananas because the uber-plantain of doom I scored from the beehive quest was the best weapon in the game. Now it's being treated like a bug and they have gimped its damage! That's not fair! My character is ruined!
Re: The Elminster Open
Thaien will be happy to witness, though I'm obviously not around as often as I would like to be.

Re: The Elminster Open
I'd likewise be more than glad to witness, if supply is low and if alts of participants are allowed.
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
Re: The Elminster Open
This is acceptable so long as you make it known you have an alt competing and both participants in the bout accept, and acknowledge the results. We just want to keep things as non conflicting as possible. Remember detect magic is also your friend against shenanigans.Raelikh wrote:I'd likewise be more than glad to witness, if supply is low and if alts of participants are allowed.

Absolutely understood. Raelikh will witness, then.

Dasyra will gladly witness.
Re: The Elminster Open
With sufficient entrants and potential witnesses, you may consider the Elminster Open... well open, as of Oct 1st.
Witnesses please record bout results here, though you need not quote entire combats, as there will be a lot of them. Consult the beginning of this thread and the previous Realms Invitational for rules, you may post questions and suggestions here as well.
The winner shall receive a Named weapon of legend which they will help design, with its own helpfile backstory.
You may continue to sign up to be a witness or a combatant as this contest runs through tentatively till the end of october, however late entrants will likely put themselves at a disadvantage for win totals.

Re: The Elminster Open
Ghan would love to watch some of these bouts. When and where? (6p-9p eastern standard time are good)
Re: The Elminster Open
It's not really a scheduled thing in the way most events are. If two participants are around and can find a witness likewise online, the group's free to set up a time and place as suits it. Or the combattants might plan through post etc. But like in the last tournament, some witnesses used yell to announce upcoming fights and give time for people to come watch if they wanted.Ghan wrote: Ghan would love to watch some of these bouts.

What does the list of witnesses look like at the moment? I was told tonight that a person not having posted in this thread is an approved witness, so I just kinda wanted to get an idea of who all's willing to be called on, in case there are more than have posted here. Gratitude!

Re: The Elminster Open
Indeed, could we get a list of participants and a list of approved Witnesses/ the first enough is easy to do but I wasn't sure if there was a general go ahead for Myself and Raelikh to both compete and witness.
