HEAR HEAR!

You've gotten some time to catch your breath.  But Tarson's arena never sleeps!  When the audience shouts "slash", you call "how hard?, and the cheers escalate louder than a squaggle of ducknecks!

Season two of the Arena Leaderboards is coming up-  And a lot more faces are here to put their efforts in.  Show your mettle, be it with magic or metal! 

The rule'sre about the same-  But any sorta healy magic is certified WACK, as dictated by our partners, the Church Knights of Lispool!  That means the misty stuff, the needles-  Nothing!  This comes straight from their Leader, so no fussing about it.

When you've got the guts to get knocked across the sand, and sweep someone's legs while ya fall-  Come on down to the Badlands to sate your taste for violence!

Now, a load of y'all have already fought, but I'll go'en repeat the spiel! The Leaderboards are a system designed to foster y'all'ns getting together and clashing in much the way we do in tournaments.  All the rules that apply at Badlands tournaments, apply here.

If'n ye wanna organize a match, look yer match partner up on the leaderboards, and point him out, and we'll send a message from you to him ASAP to get them to come see ya. Ya get one "Victory point" if'n ya lose a match, and ya get two if ya win it.  Here's the catch:  Each fighter pairing can only fight one match per season.  So make sure ya fight against lots of different people!

And in addition to the 'special rewards' we offer up to the top eight? We've got somethin' special to anyone who shows a dedication to the craft and keeps to that Arena spirit!

OOC notes: Once you're registered by adding your name to the list, you can contact anyone registered here on the forum, asking to get a match with them. ICly, you'll be paging them through the Badlands Arena for these services. You can fight any other registered fighter

In each self-regulated match, healing potions will be limited to:

• One PR-Hi or one PR-Regenerative per match per person. Stabilizers, Regeneratives, Hi-Potions, and PR-Stabilizers are banned. This includes potions granted by class features. Other item belt items are fair game(unless noted below.)
  

In each self-regulated match, the following healing abilities are prohibited:

• All Mercana.  Namely:  Graft, Malmelo, Phoenix, Second Chance, Healing Discharge, Water Dragon (Used for healing), Refreshing flow, Mercalan Mists, Needle, AND the Mend/Miracle staves. Non-healing staves are allowed.
  

• Ki Healing (aid, meditation)
  

• Nature Healing (Gentle garden, cherry blossom)
  

• Void Healing of any kind.(Void Elixir)
  

Furthermore, 'elimination' rules are in effect. This means that if all PLAYERS are eliminated on a side, the win goes to the other. This is to account for summons such as youkai and engineer bots, which can continue fighting after their controller dies.

Matches must be held in normal, not stylish. Matches cannot be fought with items or statuses unavailable to the common player engaging in spars. This is subject to discretion, but includes using bugs and exploits and receiving external assistance (ie: another player joining mid-match). In order for a match to qualify, all of these rules must be followed, and both participating players must report results to a participating event runner, alongside two logs- A separated battle chat log, and RP log spanning the time of the match. Reporting this does not have to happen in game, and can instead be done by forwarding the information to one of the participating runners.

Conditionally, this can be waived so long as there are no disagreements between both parties regarding the outcome of the match.

Should a player refuse to submit results after a match, attempt to falsify or change the results of a match or otherwise disregard or the rules, they will be disqualified.

In order to register, leave a method of contact in this forum post or on the official Badlands Leaderboards server, and what characters you're entering with. For each character, leave a short bio, as shown. if you have more than one character in the top spots, you will only receive the bonus rewards for being in the top eight once. Note, you can only have ONE character per division, and each registered character can only fight another registered fighter ONCE. However, the same character can appear in multiple divisions.

For the month of July, 2021, there will be ONE division that players can sign up for!

A singles division.

The Singles division is as simple as, two fighters stand off in a 1v1 and test their mettle!

Remember, you can have these fights any time you want within the month without needing an event runner or GM to supervise, but you can only fight each other registered combatant once and have to send in the results and logs to a participating assistant to have your Points tallied.

Leave your signups here. (and make sure to leave contact info if you want fights!)  Players can register a maximum of 1 character.

For this month, the participating assistants:
Kit#6944

As a friendly reminder, the cutoff for this event will be one day before the end of the month-  July 30th, 11 PM ET. Complete any matches and submit results before this time!

Also, we have a discord for facilitation. If you need a place to snag fights easier or to get helpers for the sake of submissions or simply asking questions:
