Season MMG: The Tournament Arc

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

MMG The Tournament Arc 

The Story so far....



Its a fairly normal day on the forum, people are chatting and commenting about the last game. You, are just lurking, considering whether you should jump in about your contributions and the whatnot. At least its not that nonsense situation from last month where you got turned into an animal. Everything is normal, at least so you think.



Then, someone, remarks about a strange new board appearing on the front page. The admin suddenly appears in the chat with a very elongated and all caps what and starts asking what it is this time. You get a serious case of Deja Vu and some alarm bells start ringing in your head. Something is... off though.



Last time this happened, you distinctly remembered a string of profanity and rage coming from the admin... but now... they seem to just be acting confused and typing in all caps. Suspicious, very suspicious. For now though, you go look at the board title so you have some idea what is going on.



THE TOURNAMENT ARC



Welp. You know this is going to end splendidly. You calmly navigate away after recognizing what is an obvious click bait attempt. Meanwhile, the admin appears to have started to make treasure puns and implying nothing is a mimic in the chat. You call out to the admin and tell them to knock it off. To which you get more elongating and all caps of "I don't know what you are talking about."



Seems the majority of the people in the chat have caught on as well. Everyone starts ganging up on the admin, telling them to knock it off and to respect their position. To which the admin posts many ascii crying faces and says fine, he will post a poll and if enough people vote he will go remove the tournament arc nonsense.



A few moments later the admin appears back in the chat with a very unelongated and all lower case "its done" before going back to sulking about the failing of the trick. With a faint sigh of annoyance you go to the new poll in the announcements and give it a click.



Which...



suddenly results in a massive amount of crowd cheering sounds erupting from your screen. You feel like your eardrums might burst as you suddenly here what sounds like an announcer.



"AHHHHHHHH, IT APPPEAAAARSSS WWEEEE HAVE ANNOOOTTTHHHEEEERRR CHAAAAAAAALLLLLEEEEEEEEEENNNGGGGGEEEEEEEER!"



Thanks admin, thanks a bunch for making the poll a redirect to your stupid tournament arc board. As the sound of wind rushing past fills your ears, you recognize the feeling of being pulled towards the monitor. At this point resigned to your fate you scream something angry into the skype chat to the admin. As you get yanked forward and into the screen your last sigh is an up close of the admin's smiley face response.



A few moments later you are shaking yourself off and standing up. All around you are your other forum mates, looking similarly miffed about the current situation. The admin is easily located from the sound of the elongated bellowing voice from above. Standing on a floating platform above everyone you see him yelling at the crowd surrounding you on all sides in this veritable coliseum.



He bellows in his ringmaster attire as everyone below tries to decide whether to try to murder him now or later.



"WELCOME, ONE AND ALL, TO THE TOURNAMENT AAAARRRRCCCCC!!"





Game Premise:



Dragged into a grand tournament by the main admin of the forum, everyone is being forced to participate before they can leave. Possessed with a massive embodiment of power and energy based on who they are, every player must attempt to win the tournament. The admin promises a wonderful reward for the winner that surpasses their wildest dreams, but implies that the security here is a little lacking. He is unsure if he could catch anyone who might attempt to rig the tournament.



Then with a grin on his face, he continues regardless to say they will push through even deadly incidents to continue the tournament. If some incredible soul with the gall to cheat did it and got away with it, then perhaps they deserved it! So fight on dear players, work through the chapters with drama, tension, and blood in the MMG TOURNAMENT ARC!



The tournament arc is a game based mainly on subterfuge and combat. While murder is a viable option, there are plenty of other methods available to rig fights in the favor of one side or the other. The goal of the game is to end the game as the winning player. The one who receives the prize the admin spoke of will be the true winner of the Tournament Arc. This means winning fights, gaining the crowds favor, and subtly disabling your foes chances.



Death in The Tournament Arc isn't permanent. Through magical powers, even the dead can be revived, but the spell takes 24 hours to perform and the tournament can't wait! However... If a cheater is caught red handed or discovered later, they will suffer a punishment of jail time. There will be special rules in the case of draws and other... extraneous situations.



The game will most likely be held on a day by day basis, with a match occuring every day or couple days with the match being the final part of a session.



This is a Chronicles of MMG season, meaning you PLAY AS YOURSELF, but with a twist. The twist this time depends entirely on your personage, but in this futuristic, Medieval, magical, and nonsensical dimension that could manifest as anything. Perhaps one person is a powerful fire mage, while another is a slick gunner.



The Map:



The Tournament Arc is held within a massive circular coliseum. Battles will be held in the central arena, while contestants will be able to wander and mill about inside the coliseum itself and its underground halls.
