You've got two week time gaps to write your story. Unless you expect to be swamped day after day you should be fine.

Heh, I find it interesting how different all of our reasons to be upset are!

Aiba: Issues at the clan home
Sirius: Lost Flash-bangs/Citizen, not ruler
Hollywood: Kid brother hurt
Sebastian: Hiding his True Objective/"Overreacting"
Sabine: Re-evaluation/Black Hand ambush
Bl.An.C: Illusion of control
L.L.: Denied cigarettes
Lucario: Internal Clashing/Fell out of bed
Larry: Abrupt awakening during good dream/Tripping/Beer is far away

Unrelatedly, something else I noticed:

Names:
A:1 (11%)
B:1 (11%)
H:1 (11%)
S:3 (33%)
L:3 (33%)

Clans Represented:
A New Journey: 2 (22%)
ActaSanctorum: 2 (22%)
Observer Protocol: 1 (11%)
The Wind Chasers- Rebels of Peace: 1 (11%)
Independent: 3 (33%)


Two from a New Journey? I only see Lucario...

Statistics updated.

Q: Seeing how we no longer have a clean bracket (As in 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or optimistically 512) how will the inevitable 1 VS 1 VS 1 match(es?) be handled?

EDIT: Statistics reupdated.

Well, I have a formula just for that. Even numbers will be easy to handle, but once the eventuality comes, then 1v1v1 will need to happen. This will of course be revealed as to how I will handle it, when it happens. For you cannot forget, this isn't really a tournament. This is just an event. It will pose... different challenges per "round".

I did the thing, woo. And now at the appropriate word requirement at EXACTLY 300 words.

[spoiler=]
- Toronto Homeless Shelter Closing -

He had seen the news in the paper Allison purchased at the store, but he had to make the journey to see if it was true. His metal leg clanked as he halted near the entrance, hand on the golden knob of his cane for support. His face twisted into a disturbing display of mixed emotions upon seeing the news true, he looked towards the alley where a small gathering of past residents stood aimlessly.

A man in his forties stuck out to Rykosar as a familiar face (and scruffy peppered beard). "So it's true then, Marat?" The old man croaked, eyes darkened when seeing a voiceless nod. It sparked a hug before Rykosar pulled away. "I'd offer the cabin, but it's not done yet..."

The younger man's bushy dark brows furrowed at Rykosar's statement, he spoke with an accent dripping from his lips. "Hiz oolriet." He began, a smile twitching his whiskers "I shawl find ah hway. Marat aulhways doos!" He smacked a fist to his chest, grinning with a set of stained teeth. "Hew du hyor battuls, and Marat whill find sumtink else!"

Though his spirits lightened Rykosar's, a sour pit began to fill him and he found himself frowning. "It should be common sense to take care of the homeless before an audience of blood-thirsty--bah. I'd say I'm not a fan of ranting, but that'd be a lie. I'm sure you don't want to hear it." Rykosar followed this by turning to Marat, suppressing a volatile state. "You've been through enough today."

"Hiz fine, freend. Hahow aboot a wolk, hyes? Hew seem...ehm, whord fur "razdrazhitel'nyy"?"

Rykosar stopped mid-limp, a chuckle slipping for a few fleeting moments before giving a weak nod. "Crabby is the word. And I suppose so. The walk would do well. Let’s go."

Well well well. It would seem we have our participants. Within the next few days I will have the first phase of the event on the way.

The day continues and it would seem that everything is slowly coming to some conclusion, yet with the Shroud overhead people continued with life. There are however certain events that drive the day on, and these events are the following:

Bl.An.C vs The Suicide Sisters (Click to Show)


Gladstone vs Aiba (Click to Show)


Hollywood vs Bust (Click to Show)


Lucario vs Ensiron (Click to Show)


Rykosar vs Sirius (Click to Show)


Larry vs Sabine (Click to Show)


As you all may have noticed, every situation has its own details that should be added. It adds suspense and random moments that would give the battle more life. If there is any confusion as to what to do, ask and I shall explain it.

I would like to suggest all of you to send your battles to me via PM because I shall create the battles in the battle area and there you shall vote. It gives everything a sense of mystery I would like to think. As for the deadline: 20th of July. If there is any issues, PM me and we shall sort you out.

FAQ

Quote from Crank
Actually, heck, Q: If this is all going on at the same time, can we reference the other ongoing events? Not like full fledged, but straddlers, like an animal, a criminal, or a couple boxes?


Well, due to the fact that, yes, all these things will happen at roughly the same time as all these event will lead into future battles, you may refer to other things happening. However, you may not, for instance, refer to seeing the two gladiators fighting on a train, or see one of the gladiators plummeting to earth from an overhead plane. I guess I could say: You may refer to the neutral events, but not the gladiators in them.

Quote from blakphoenix
Is there a word limit Mr. Murphy sir?


You propose an interesting question Mr blak. Yes, there is no word limit. Why? Because this is not a tournament. It is merely an event with battles in between. These battles spur on the grand scheme of the event. You can write to you heart's content, however I would like to advice against 100 000 word novels, for convenience sake, but go as crazy as you want with the battle within the restrictions I have given.

Seems like a pretty sucky day for the city! What've we got, a massive prison break, a zoo escape, and a plane going down all at the same time?

Personally, I'd be really irritated if I broke out of jail just to fight off a tiger and get crushed by cargo falling out of the sky!

Oh, a retirement home.

The least eventful of all of the random happenings, which is why it is my job to make it an awesome entry :D

I already started mine up. When my family goes shopping I'll stay home and write some more so I can be like halfway done.

Time to prove that Sirius is bringing edgy back.
