The theme of this Tourney is the fantasy RTS genre so magic spells, primitive firearms, and war beasts are welcomed along with more unique options like undead based on virtual psychos, ancient Japanese divine pikemen, and possibly even bald chimpanzee hordes with slings for just what the infantry units can be. As for the setting, the Tourney will be focused on one continent and the various forces in it who have been recently given a chance for complete control of the lands if they defeat all others or any other personal reasons.

The forces would be composed of three different infantry types (melee, ranged, and elite), two fast unit types (light and heavy), a support unit (think a mage or healer), and a siege unit (artillery or war beasts) along with a Leader with powers for use in their lands and neighboring ones and a superhuman or otherwise remarkable Champion who has several abilities to make them the most dangerous individual force. The other factors would be a brief backstory, experience or what they have faced in combat before, their primary tactics and perhaps one secondary one, and their Land which is basically a slice of their homeland with some basic defensive capabilities.

The whole Battle Royale would take place in one massive area with each Land placed in between two others and ancient ruins on the middle to separate the bottom and top which might contain some ancient relics of great power... Anyways, I will post the entry blog either after I finish my Season 3 Redemption Match which will be a month at most or sooner and post the battle blog after a month has passed for entries to be posted. Don't worry, I'll allow extra time for those who enter and feel free to ask any additional questions.

So as decided via Tatsu poll, my 10th anniversary special will be a user tournament. Here's a brief summary of what I was thinking it would entail:

• The format would be one massive Battle Royale
• I would accept any entries that meet my guidelines

A rough outline of the guidelines is as follows:

• Bio & Description
• Each user has 5 equipment/ability slots and 5 trait slots
• Equipment and Abilities are things like swords, armor, magic, etc.
• Traits are things that would affect strategy, such as being stealthy, wanting to fight wiht honor, etc.
• A user may submit a team, but said team must distribute the 10 slots amongst the group members; eg, a user can have a team of three, with one person having two equipment slots and one trait slot, one person having two trait slots and one equipment slot, and one person having one of each.
• Each entrant must have at least one equipment/ability slot and one trait slot

Everything will follow my standard rules; you get exactly what you type. "Morningstar" gets you a spiked ball, a gun with no mentioned bullets gets you just the gun, etc. Entrants will not need to mention quantities of ammunition, due to the uncertain nature of how many entrants there will be.

The match itself will be a JT-style royale, with all the warriors let lose in an abandoned town to fight each other. Entries do not have to be human or even humanoid; go wild.

Just not 40-foot-tall wolf wild. Please.

I will be providing an example entry, most likely a character from the novel I swear I'm still working on, I just haven't had time pls don't ask for updates I have none.

Entries will be done after Tarot ends in March, last to the end of April, and the match will be in June.

So yeah. That's about how it would go.

Alright, listen up, you pigs in human clothing! In the near future we’re going to (hopefully), be having a big event coming up for all you lowlifes who want a place in the world. Honnouji Academy is the place for the strong, after all! And the strong get benefits!

We’re going to be holding a Natural’s Election, right here in DF Wiki! Over the course of several days, the students of Honnouji Academy are going to fight each other to see who is truly the top dog in their class. The winner gets to become the newest member of the Elite Four of Honnouji Academy!

Here’s what you have to do, DF Wiki user! Make a person with a Goku Uniform! For those that don’t understand how that works, a Goku Uniform is a suit made of life fibers which enhance how strong you are depending on how many stars the uniform has. Two stars are reserved for club leaders only. I suggest you make a two star Goku uniform wearer.

If you do go the two star route, your club leader can be the leader of any kind of club they want! Divination club, Cards club, Biology club! Anything you can think of Honnouji likely has it as a club, and you likely have your Goku Uniform. Hell, we have a knife throwing club.

For examples of two star uniforms I suggest you look at Takaharu Fukuroda and Omiko Hakodate, the leader of the boxing and tennis club respectfully. You’ll generally have free reign with your Goku Uniform and what it does, but it has to be related to the club you are a part of.

If enough people make it to the top, the fight is going to take place across Honnouji Academy, and the city it resides around, as a whole.

So, what do you think? Ready to take a challenge?

Why Fionn can beat Cú Chulainn, skip the part about the fate verse and go to his abilities and weapons. The previous battle neglected some of Fionn's abilities as they weren't as well known so I want a rematch. The reddit post shows more of Fionn's arsenal of weapons and items. One of which is his magical cranebag containing Manannan items, weapons and treasures or anything which Manannan considers precious. There is also his feat of slaying gods such as Aillen in some sources Nuada a war god and his cloak which deflected an attack from a god and the feat of slaying giant serpents the size of mountains and throwing islands and creating many rock formations. Him having all knowledge of the world, his clairvoyance, his healing abilities, his druid magic and his weapon sword of Nuada having an attack that cannot be dodge and cannot be resisted.

Well, its been enough time since I posted my request for the tourney, but as many of you already know the plan if you were on chat, you have a good idea on what this is. For those who weren't on the Discord, here's a breakdown as to what this tourney is. 

Idea: Tourney dedicated to having bad or joke OCs duke it out, inspired by the days of old and new where users would submit ridiculous and nonsensical characters to compete in tourneys. Hell School is the working name as it stands to play on the joke that school is hell. Really the tourney is to have fun and make jokes on how cringy, edgy or amateur we can make our characters. As it stands, fairness is of no serious concern as to how the battle goes, there will be limits on powers naturally when the actual submission blog comes through as we'll need to prevent someone from one shotting the entire arena before there's an actual fight

Breakdown

• The aim is a one and done blog. I don't want to stretch this out as long as possible and avoid tourney fatigue that often comes with multiple parts along with lack of votes that become an issue around the third or fourth blog. All users will compete in the arena and votes will rank placement of the respective warriors and users
• There is currently no limit on the amount of users that will join. With this being a one and done battle blog, I don't really see the point in limiting the user count, plus I don't there would be more than twenty entries in the battle.
• As mentioned power limits are not fully established, but I will step in provided wording is too vague or the power seems to OP. Underpowered warriors are allowed to join since they may survive purely by the virtue the rest of the warriors are likely going to hyperactive murderers who want a good fight.

Guidelines/Test Submission Blog

• https://deadliestfiction.fandom.com/wiki/User:WanderingSkull/Sandbox#Hell_School:_A_Bad.2FJoke_OC_Tourney
• Above is the rough guideline as to how the blog will look and how the format will be set, it may be subject to change come closer to the actual release, but minimal at best and other than new rules being established for clarification
• Several entries have been revealed thus far and have already made me regret my choice, but now I have to take responsibility. I've written a rough fight to get back into the groove as shown in the Discord.

This is my submission, please shoot it down so I may escape from writing this.

So this idea had sort of only started brewing in my head a while ago, but I thought that I should probably give it a shot, so, here goes nothing I suppose. 

So for the setting of this tournament, it'd take place in the year 2076, considering that should be around the time that the actual Overwatch game takes place, being somewhere in the mid 2070s. The fights themselves would all take place in a single city, though everyone would be in a one on one situation, meaning that there wouldn't be any free for alls or duels. 

As for the user characters themselves, they will be giving one primary weapon and...that's about it. This primary weapon can have multiple uses, like how Widowmaker's gun can turn from sniper rifle to assault rifle, but there are no secondaries, unless you're something like D.Va, who needs a pistol outside her mech suit. 

A user character would also have two to three abilities, depending on how powerful these abilities are, and they all have to be somewhat related to the character concept. You will also be allowed an Ultimate, because what's an Overwatch tournament without an Ultimate? Once again, this ability can't be too ridiculously powerful, and has to mix well with the overall character concept and abilities. 

Also, backstory for a character must be given so we can determine prior experience in combat or otherwise. Personality must be put down as well, otherwise these really aren't characters and they're just kind of cardboard cutouts. Just about anything goes on backstory, but if it becomes too outlandish (which would probably be defined by my terms) I'd have to shut you down. Of course, you can't get too outlandish when you have a hamster in the actual game. 

As for how this tournament would be set up, I'd be using Challonge.com to make a bracket of about eight to ten people. Or just how many people we can get in here, preferably an even number, but if not I can make it work. We're going for a classic elimination style tournament here, where some will only get one match out of the whole tournament. You know, basic rules. 

If this does get accepted I will be reserving one of the slots for myself, and a blog post where you make characters and put their profiles there would come shortly after, with the waiting period at most being a day or two. 

Just wanted to post this here and see what others think. I can adjust things if need be, and I'd be more than happy to do so if this could work. 

I'm not entirely sure if this is allowed here but considering this is for User Battles, I think it's OK. My User Warrior is mostly Ancient with a single black powder weapon and war beast. My user page has more info and I will review any challengers.

I've received the OK from WanderingSkull to pick up the Fate User Tourney that was in the works, so I'll be pitching it here under the new system.

Since most people here are familiar with what I'm talking about, I'll keep this short, but I'll provide more details if anyone has any questions.

The tourney will have seven users on the wiki, who will each create a pair of a master and a servant. It will take place in the year 2018, in the same universe Fate/Stay Night as an alternate timeline. The difference here is that participants will be from around the world, not just the same damn Japanese high school same city, all with different backstories and motivations. The Fate world is pretty much the modern world with a large magical presence in culture and day-to-day life. After we have enough users, I'll get more on the setting and story.

Situation.

1. The battle will take place in a single city as a free for all battle. Masters and servants have no prior knowledge of each other unless specified in their bios. Both the master and the servant of a user need to be killed for them to be out of the match. Alliances are allowed.

2. Masters will have a set of physical weapons and a magical specialty.

3. Servants summoned must be a notable historic, fictional, or religious character (any characters who are Gods need an okay from me).

Guidelines:

• I need specifics on physical weapons, and a solid argument to back magical powers with evidence of them existing in the fate universe. Magic is too loose of a term for me to give free reign and keep this fair.

• I need physical descriptions of the characters and bios on both masters and servants are a must, especially as alliances and freindships are possible here. Also explain their proficiancies and weaknesses.

• Servant profiles need to be structured similarly. User this profile as an example to work off of. Include a bio, stats, Noble Phantasm, Servant Skills, and Class Skills.

• Servants cannot have more than three A ranked stats, skills, or phantasms and five B/B+ ranks. Any servants who have more need to have a specific weakness that can be exploited, or have flaws from the master themselves (poor mana source, etc.). For example Gilgamesh can solo most existing servants, but his overconfidance keeps him from using his full power more times than not, Hercules has all A ranked stats, but refrains from killing his master in order to use peak proficiancy skills.

If this gets accepted, five slots of the seven existing are reserved: Me, Appel, Leo, Cfp, and WS.

As EA has finished his Hunger Games tourney, Slot 1 is now open.

Please make your pitches as a new thread. Any replies to this thread which are not admin announcements of open slots will be deleted.

Since admins need to follow policy, too:

So user tournies these days are getting progressively more convoluted. I want to bring back the genre to its roots; a simple, one-v-one ancient weapons match. That being said, I do have a couple twists on it:

1. The tourney will be double-elimination. This means that people need to lose twice.
2. Users will choose a “favorite” weapon to start each match with. Rest of the weapons will be planted in the sand nearby.

And a few guidelines I’ll be using:

• Be as specific as possible with your weapons. I will be adding descriptions if you don’t, and will take the most generic and literal description possible.
  • Examples: if you put “morning star” you’re getting a spiked ball, of if you say “fire arrows” you’re just getting some fire shaped like arrows.
• Bios and physical descriptions are a must. Note that if your equipment will break you like a twig, you will be broken like a twig.
• All combat will take place in a circular arena with a 10-meter diameter
• No gunpowder weaponry. No weaponry or equipment that’s excessively modern (i.e, no pistol crossbows)

Should this get approved, I’ll get a sign-up blog out within a week. I will accept eight entries, however this will not be FIFO. Which entrants get through will be based entirely on the quality of the entries. I will enter if and only if there are not enough good entries to do this.

My proposal is, as the title says, for a Hunger Games User Tournament.

This has been done twice before (once by Sport Shouting and once by Las) and both times the tournament kind of fizzled out partway through. Given that there's a renewed interest in the topic thanks to the Hunger Games simulator blowing up chat activity, I think that there's potential for a successful (and mercifully brief) user tournament.

I am proposing this because I miss the "good ol' days" of simple, uncomplicated user tourneys that were fun and simple (and, also, because my last attempt at a user tournament was extremely complicated and crashed and burned horribly). 

Obviously characterization is important here. I intend to set up each round as a day's length--so when voting users simply determine whether each character is capable of surviving the day or not. I'll determine some threshhold for number of votes for death to see how I'll establish a voting system, but I can work things out before starting the tourney if I get approved. Another difference is that I will set up a tabber system for the battle sim and (with potential help, because this will be a lot of writing) have a different battle sim written for each warrior (so that they coincide and stuff, with each warrior's respective story lasting either until their death or until the end of that round). This will continue until, obviously, only one person is left alive.

The regular Hunger Games rules apply. It will be a standard arena that has the Cornucopia and also has gamemakers monitoring the field, so the terrain can change and 'events' can happen if things get too boring. As far as loadouts go, I am considering allowing users to select their own weaponry (with limitations, of course) because otherwise the whole randomness of picking up a weapon after the Games begin will make voting difficult. 

So... yeah. I have every intent to follow through with this tourney, and I am optimistic that it is simple enough that users won't be confused while being topical and comprehensive enough to remain interesting. The length of the overall tourney is explained in more detail in my reply below. Also, I still have four battles left in my current season, but as I am active enough to consistently put up a new blog and battle sim each week it won't be long before I am ready to launch into the tourney.

Now I yield the floor to you. Put your questions or concerns and I'll try to clarify as best I can. 

That's it for now.

Since the Siege Tourney has ended, the slot for a large user tourney has opened up. This means large tournaments, either with lots of entrants or lots of battles. This is not for small tournies that will take few months.

What to Include

• A brief but complete summary of what the tourney's theme (i.e, Pirates, Pokemon, Kaiju, Fallout, etc.) will be. Don't write a novel, but write more than two sentences.
• An estimate for how many participants you expect to have.
• A sample set of entry rules. These don't have to be all of them or set in stone, but please provide a sample of how you want entries structured/what restrictions you're giving people.
• How long you expect the tourney to take
• Any other details you think are necessary or will help convince us that your tourney should be chosen this time.

Notes

We ask that you only comment here if you're pitching a tournament (read: Don't fucking comment if you're not pitching a tourney.) and that you limit it to one comment per user. This helps reduce clutter when it comes to selection time. If you wish to voice your support for a tourney, do it on chat.

And with that, folks, I yield the floor to your inner marketing rep.

(That means post your pitches, for those of you who are a little thick)

I hate to go on about this constantly and I apologise in advance because it is probably extrenely annoying that you keep seeing me whine and winge about the Super-Powered War but as pointed out by Pach in a recent discussion, it is evidently the voting demand of the Super-Powered War which is putting off voters and in turn causing inactivty which locks the blog's comments.

As such, since this is just as much your event as it is mine due to you all providing fantastic heroes and villains - I want to discuss the possibility of changing the voting style to something more suitable to the large content the blog has. 

The proposed format in my discussion with Pach (By him kindly) was a tally and summary system. 

Essentially, users would look at the three sections by which the match ups are split up: Leader, Higher and Lower Tier.

They would then tally the survivors of the match ups based on who they think would win, e.g. Lower Tier: Heroes: 9 Villains: 3 or something like then provide a summary of how and/or why. Ultimatley, you'd have 3 tallies of the survivors of the Leader, Higher and Lower tier and 3 summaries and then possibly some concluding notes on the ultimate winner.

It is undoubtable that this change in voting style would be much smaller than the match up per match up style I currently have in place and as such, more people could hopefully vote sooner and the blog could end much sooner. 

Here's a poll if you're lazy:

Let me know what you think of this, it is good? Bad? Awful? Got any ideas yourself?

Whatever voting style is decided, I'm probably going too reupload the blog with the new voting style if a new one is brought in. 

Regards,

- Kite

Hey felllow wikians,

I am in the process of designing a one off event I'm calling the 'Super-Powered War', and that's all I intend for you to know about it for now with the exception of this discussion in which I need to settle a debate. The issue I am having is how to co-ordinate this event in regards to establishing your character's powers for the event so if you would be as kind as to answer this little poll below, I would be very grateful and will explain in a little bit more detail below the poll. 

• Should you like to follow a power tree system with points, the way it works is that you are given some points with which you spend these points on a variety of powers within a certain tree. Each tree consists of powers relating to a type of element or ability like magic or fire, so the fire tree will consist of fire related powers.
• Should you like to have no tree or point system, you could have a much more open system where you can create the powers you want but at a limit where you don't produce something to the level that you can flatten Superman and Thor in one go.
• If you have your own ideas please share them in the comment below and I will look at each and every one. If you see someone has produced an idea you like, give it a Kudos so I know it has the support. 

Thanks everyone,

Kite.
