Land of Karchan

The Haavi Heat Wave

Published Date 2024-04-16T15:22:22

ince everyone seemed to enjoy the Styxx Gorge Skirmish, I have decided to hold another.
A poll was set in place on the Karchan Discord Server, with the two options for the next setting being Haavi or Rajan. Haavi won by just one vote, so I present to you: THE HAAVI HEAT WAVE!
As a reminder, Haavi is a desertous country way to the far south of Karchan, so imagine blistering heat and intense sun.

This tournament has something special in place: a randomizer.
At the beginning of each duel, the participant that wins the coin toss will get access to a special feature. This feature is a command that randomizes some form of chaos for each round.
Round one might include magma. Round two might include poison! It depends on the randomizer. Winner of the coin toss gets the special button pressing privileges. ;)

Just like the last mini-tournament, the duels will be judged by The Assembly of Judges, so you are allowed to request feedback whether you win or lose. To request feedback, you'll need to send a MUDmail to Hojn.

The pair-ups will be determined by dice roll (specifically, /roll 20).

Tournament Rules

1. All duels must be completed in the Feryoth Oasis (Haavi) Arena. If you are unsure where this is, ask me. You can also type twist to haavi if you have a glass ring, then type haavi map to bring up a link to a map you can look at to find your way to the Arena.
2. No godmoding or autohits. If you don't know what these are, please ask. You can also use the /roll 10 command if you'd like to, but it isn't mandatory.
3. You must include whatever ailment/problem arises from the randomizer in your post for that round. Failure to do so will be counted against you.
4. If you are a shifter that can change or turn someone into what you are, then you are not allowed to do anything that would achieve that result, aka, no turning your opponent into a shifter. This also includes vampires/vampirism.
5. Please keep the climate in mind. Haavi is a desertous country. Treat your surroundings as such.
6. Inflicting maladies upon your opponent is okay, but it cannot be anything permanent/lasting beyond one round.
7. No disrespect of the judges and/or combatants is allowed. Disrespect can be defined as complaining about their judgment, belittling an opponent's win, or bad attitude surrounding a loss. If this rule is broken, you will be barred from future tournaments hosted by yours truly. Obviously, this is an OOC rule.
8. Please try to keep posts between 15-20 minutes.
9. Have fun!

Please request entry as a combatant by May 1st, 2024 so that we can hopefully get the tournament started by May 2nd, 2024 if you wish to participate. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to me!

Spectators are welcome for all duels! If you're interested in watching, the Karchan Discord Server is the best place for updates on the mini-tournament, in addition to combatants planning when to duel. I highly suggest looking at the 'tourney' channel there as things progress.

Hope to see you all there!

The space below will be where I keep the image with the lineup, once people have signed up and have executed their rolls to determine who fights who:
