[Union]Gladiators Returns!
Alpha slots in the Leagues:
All-Star; anything goes. However I will be allowing a grace period of 1 week where players can postpone challenges if they've not yet gotten their rare Alpha boost as the strike pack is so new.
[b]Pure League;[/u] is supposed to be about skill over extra empowerment we would like competitors to be on a more even footing. So, alpha boosts are allowed but players should work out how to be on a more even footing. EG: If one player has their rare and the other only has uncommon the level boost is a good advantage, in this situation I would suggest both agree to unequip their alpha slot boosts. If two characters have their rare boosts then they're good to go as they are.
Bunny.. Can you make Tarana an Pure League... it seems she doesn' t have any sets yet...
And replace her with Elizabeth (Bathory Erzsebet) as I would like to test her in pvp anyway. Will add her in the signup now! Oh.. I see I will be the only one with two alts then... Is that ok?
Also... Tarana is a Cadre member... And would like to fight in that team. Will that team not become to big then?

Hmm, what levels are the Pure League running at? Von Schaden is only level 40, so...not sure how he'd fare against 50s and such
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

I know pure competitors are quite high in level, however Von Schaden did well enough against Katie considering her being a level 50 and her slotting. I'd actually rate his chances and encourage you to stay in Al ^^

Right guys, all the fun starts tomorrow and I just wanted to get in a quick word on The Gauntlet. Both @oreso and I are happy to be grabbed ingame, however if you'd like a particular time/date booked for you, please don't hesitate to PM me here, send either of us an offline tell or ingame email or reply on this thread. We'll be sure to get back to you to let you know if we can or can't earmark that time for you.
NB: The Gauntlet is a 30 minute experience, so including setup and stuff afterwards please allow 45 mins - 1 hour of free time to do it (more if I'm running it and your character would like to be interviewed before or after!)
Oh I wasn't considering quitting with him I was just wondering if fights would be at the level of the highest combatant or the nearest level bracket. Either way should be ok (*gulps, crosses fingers and prays for mercy*) so, yeah...let the fights begin!

An hour until I go sit and wait in Pocket D
I'm updating the lists of who's in what qualifier all the time so keep an eye on them!
Sorry I can't be there for the launch. Have fun all.
Knights Exemplar: Wolfram, Autumnfox, Starlit Spirit.
Militia: The Portent, Wavekite, Mr. Sandman.
The Cadre: WarpLocke, Zajin.
Numerous others.
Posting from my phone as the internet has gone down in my area so I will not be there either unless Virgin pull their finger out. Many apologies.
@Dante EU - Union Roleplayer and Altisis Victim
The Militia: Union RP Supergroup - www.themilitia.org.uk
Don't worry guys we have a couple of weeks to do qualifier stuff
Thanks to everyone who turned up tonight, I'll put up results and ammend points totals so far in the morning when more awake! There was a lot of hitty tonight, there'll be more tomorrow but I hope for some talky too. I'd especially like interviews with those that have competed thus far.
Alpha requests that MMs are allowed slightly larger maps in future

Tonight on Gladiators
Slight change in plan as I found organising quite tiring, I won't be turning up in Pocket D until 7pm. Sorting through my hours of footage for what works and what doesn't may take some time!
Tonight I would like half of the evening to get some focus on chatting and some interviews as well as organising some fights.
In future; if you and one of your opponents can arrange a time to meet and fight let me or @oreso know and we'll get the match sorted no matter what the day. The weekend sessions are just there to ensure there's definately a ref there for you and extra people to mingle with.

Backstage Gossip
Captian Boarder was spotted stealing a cheeky kiss from our presenter Natalie after she congratulated him on his progressing to the next round of competition. Natalie seemed a little shocked before shaking her head and continuing with her presenting work.
Boarder also seems to have been getting on very well with his fellow Pure League competitor Tarana, the two agreeing they needed to meet again in private some time.
Iron Anderson objected to being in the same qualifier as 'the leech', Elizabeth Bathory and refused to fight her, instead chosing to fight Common Sense.
Three of the members of qualifier group Ruin, Common Sense, Discontent and most vocally, Hella Hardcore started to rally for the removal of Elizabeth Bathory from the competition. Hella after fighting the countess and having seen her fight fellow members of Team Hardcore claims that Bathory is not agressive enough in fights, disregarding the rules. She claims she lets her henchmen do all the work whilst flying too high - Sense had difficulties getting within range of her, and in her fight against Discontent she fled entirely leaving her competitor only with her minions. Hella also tried to raise the point that Bathory is a poor sport, after winning her battles she is overeager to continue sending her minions after an opponent having done this with both Hella and Discontent. In the fight with Discontent the Countess even personally attacked her opponent despite the fact Discontent had stopped. The present referee spoke with Elizabeth Bathory, going over the rules, and whilst didn't issue a warning was heard to utter something about 'a warning of a warning' seeming too intimidated by the vampire to do more.
Today on Gladiators
Big Rig, CX-1237 and Dismal took on the Gladiators Gauntlet!
--------
And I will start video editting tomorrow, took the day off apart from some gauntlet runs today ^^
OOC: Should be ready sometime during the week or this weekend to do a Gauntlet run, and whatever other fights Al needs to do in their qualifier =]
IC:
Reviewing the footage, Alpha would issue a statement bluntly calling out Bathory that;
"If she thinks she can hide, Tau Team will hunt her down and grind her down to the arrogant dust-mite she really is. See you in hell, Bat W****, if I don't see you in the Semi's!"
*puts on glasses*
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

Also today on Gladiators:
Discontent vs. Hella Hardcore resulted in a decisive tie with the two teens attacking and evading each other tirelessly for the full ten minutes.

I've been trying to have Jake around between 7:30ish and 9, but if anybody wants to book him for a certain time then let me know. I can easily arrange to have him there at another time, but at least one night I'll be doing something else, and it would be handy to know if there is any night I shouldn't schedule it for. I think it's only Jake holding up 'Ruin' now, so I thought it would be best to get his fights in sooner rather than later.
Oh, this only applies to Hella and Discontent. Jake is going to refuse point blank to have anything to do with Bathory. Although if you want him to show up and insult her a little, I'd be happy to do so
However, it turned out that Smith was not a time-travelling Terminator
Liz will see Jake not fighting her as enough insult. And an act of cowardsy... And refusing a fight.. even a challenge.. will mean forfeiting the match.
