No interest in it sorry.

I find it hard to believe there's no interest, the Naralik Tournaments i hosted were quite successful, and DPa is generally much more popular than Naralik.

You need to set the date of the tournament at least a couple of weeks after your initial post in these forums and you need to advertise the event in channel 4 and 6 and at DPa itself.

 

You are welcome to use my ruleset from the Naralik Showdowns if u want, here it is:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules:

 

1. You must be able to attack in Naralik Arena. TS potion failing IS allowed.

Your ability to attack will be checked before each fight by you attacking myself, both of us barefist, and immediately fleeing.

 

2. Attack and Defense Potions are NOT allowed. All other potions ARE allowed.

Your a/d must stay in a state that means you can attack in the arena for the duration of the fight, so no going to positive food after combat has begun either.

(If you suspect the person your fighting has raised their a/d after the attack test, you can screenshot the exp you get off them and send it to me along with a sceenshot of your stats and your god status. Based on that i can determine their a/d at the time of screenie, if i determine they've cheated, they'll be disqualified and banned from any future events.)

 

3. Certain weapons and items are NOT allowed, they are as follows:

The rare/magical Great Swords (such as JS of cooldown, cutty of mage, rapier of death, etc.).

The rare/magical Armors (such as steel greaves of ubber def, Ti plate of freezing, etc.).

Any fire/ice/thermal sword.

Medallion of Life

BRoD and BoD

Normal Branch and Bone

Any "Enchanted Weapons" (see Enchanted Weapons page in EL encyclopedia)

The Bronze Sword

 

This is a test of strategy and strength, not riches and items with random chance magical effects.

To ensure further clarity, these are the kind of items that ARE allowed:

Normal Iron, Steel, Titanium or Dragon Plate armors.

All normal shields up to titanium.

Moon, Unicorn, Stars and Sun medallions.

Crowns of Life and Mana.

Any Cape.

Any normal Great Sword, with the exception of the Bronze Sword.

Any non-enchanted weapons. (any weapons listed in the "Weapons" page in the encyclopedia (that's page 1, not page 2; which has the "Enchanted Weapons"))

 

4. All castable magic spells ARE allowed.

 

5. Summoning (including stones) is NOT allowed.

(Summons wont attack in that arena anyway).

 

6. Disengagement rings ARE allowed.

You can disengage/flee from combat up to 3 times. If you diss/flee a 4th time you forfeit the battle.

If you diss/flee and stay in the arena the fight can continue, if you diss/flee and walk out of the arena, even just for a second, you forfeit the battle.

 

7. All fights are 1-on-1, and one at a time.

Your friends/guildmates are not allowed to remote heal you or cast any offensive spells on your opponent.

Await instruction from myself before entering the arena, and before starting combat.

 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Tournament Layout:

 

Key example: R1F1-L = Round1_Fight1-Loser - The loser of Fight 1, Round 1.

 

Round 1:

fight 1: player1 vs player2

fight 2: player3 vs player4

fight 3: player5 vs player6

fight 4: player7 vs player8

 

Round 2:

fight 1: R1F1-L vs R1F2-L

fight 2: R1F3-L vs R1F4-L

 

Round 3:

fight 1: R1F1-W vs R1F2-W

fight 2: R1F3-W vs R1F4-W

 

Round 4:

fight 1: R2F1-W vs R3F2-L

fight 2: R2F2-W vs R3F1-L

 

Round 5 (* need to see at the time who has fought who *)

(if the opponents (column 2) can be swapped so everyone is fighting someone new, i will do so, if not, no change... you may end up fighting someone you've already fought.)

 

fight 1: R3F1-W vs *R4F2-W

fight 2: R3F2-W vs *R4F1-W

 

Final

R5F1-W vs R5F2-W

 

No, i will not host the event. (well, if someone out there really wants me too, i'm open to bribes)

 

But you, Roman, or anyone else who wants to is welcome to use my ruleset, it makes for fair fights that not only the richest have a chance of winning.

 

EDIT: oh, and notice the addition to Rule 6, that bs SouL pulled wouldn't be possible again:

"You can disengage/flee from combat up to 3 times. If you diss/flee a 4th time you forfeit the battle."

the rules korrode established for his contest didnt make it pure skills but it made skills more important thats for sure

if he wanted pure skill he didnt make rule : 3 flee/diss and ur out ;p

coz what soul did on that contest was SkilLLz

 

if you want pure skills do this : take same a/d players, same equipment, same inventory and same p/c .. the one who comes out winner of that fight got more skills ;D

[Shujral]

Its a good idea, but with the current state of DPA, wouldnt be worth it.

 

There is a certain player(Whose name i will not share ;p), who is by far the best fighter at dp, and would most certainly win.

Well, i've only added that rule in this thread...

SouL won that fight legit, he didn't break rules. Gratz to him for figuring out a strategy to kill a stronger player (although imo a lot of his victory was luck, not skill).

 

The problem is if someone is really weaker than their opponent, allowing dissing as many times as people like means fights will just go on and on with a weaker person ONLY surviving from dissing/fleeing.

My tournaments are meant to be tests of combat skill and strategy, not evading skill and strategy.

Evading can be used to achieve a goal, most certainly (in some RPG's u go through the entire game evading; rogue class), but my tournaments are a test of combat.

Allowing this kind of thing is just not suitable for these kind of tournaments. Summoning is not allowed to catch their diss, so dissing to that extent shouldn't be allowed imo, and wont be in future tournaments i run...

Anyone else running a tournament can do whatever they like, but if im spectating at it i certainly wont sit there for 10 mins watching someone running around the arena not actually fighting, i'd prolly leave.

 

if you want pure skills do this : take same a/d players, same equipment, same inventory and same p/c .. the one who comes out winner of that fight got more skills ;D

I do agree, that would show just pure PK skill, but especially since the attrib cap i like the tournaments to be tests of char building ability also, and wep/med/pot choice strategy too.

 

--------------------

 

Its a good idea, but with the current state of DPA, wouldnt be worth it.

 

There is a certain player(Whose name i will not share ;p), who is by far the best fighter at dp, and would most certainly win.

Well, u could always battle for 2nd place, and a LOT of people who sign up dont show up on the day (that person in particular was signed up as a backup for a previous Nara comp and would have been able to fight had they been online, but they weren't), so decent chance he wouldn't be there.

 

EDIT: Also, how does this person always win? Ti therm serp? BoD? Enchanted weps/armors? ...none of thats allowed by my ruleset. (If he just has way higher OA than everyone else then yeah he'd prolly still win tho )

Yeah ah unless this is sarcasm, you just topped my list of people with massive lack of foresight.
