[Union]Gladiators Returns!

An update from me:

Sorry for being so quiet! real life combined with the allure of those weekly strike targets and wanting to fit in other RP has nommed on my time.

Fights have gone ahead ingame and as we're approaching week 3 of our 2-3 weeks to resolve matches consider this your 'hurry up!' warning. If you have a character needing to do qualifier matches get them in now!

I will be organising more weekend events at the start of next month;

March 5th & 6th Pocket D, 8PM onwards. Team League matches!

Come one come all to take part in and observe team league matches! As these have proven trickier to organise, I thought I'd give some dates when they can be more easily handled. If you're interested in fighting but don't have a team, come along I'm sure you'll be able to find 3 other likeminded people!

On the 6th we will be announcing who has gone through to the knockout stage of the other Leagues and who they will be facing off against.


March 12th & 13th Pocket D, 7PM onwards. The knockout matches! (I hope to handle the bulk of them over this weekend - if weekends aren't good for a pairing we can take it to another evening in the week)


This should (hopefully) lead to grand finals on the 19th or 20th if not all matches are resolved on the 12th & 13th.


About the videos:

"ZOMG! Where are the videos?!"

I've been asked this in various forms a few times. The simple answer is 'still in editting' I have a large array of demo files and have been trying to wrestle them into a paletable TV show. I unfortunately lack inteviews and fillers so I'm having to reformat ideas I had in my head to make them work - and demo editting and video making does take time!

ICly: matches and a little backstage gossip would be streamed live and the videos I'm working on is an editted show that airs a little later; a recap as it were. Once the qualifier stages are complete I should have several of these episodes to finish editting and get out to you guys.

An update, ooh! I decided the first episodes will be devoted to a qualifier group each. I apologise in advance for fights missed by me that won't be in these shows but I will be recording all fights from the knockout stage.

As some qualifiers are rounding up quicker than others my first video is Episode 6, Part 1. So IC, yes it would be the sixth episode but I've uploaded it for ooc viewing. I had hoped to get part two done today but I am filled with an icky cold-ill thing. I started with episode 6 as Mystic Maiden was the first qualifier group to finish.

Planned episodes are:

1] Plum Blossom (All Stars) & The Blue Dragon's gauntlet run
2] The Prestidigitator (Pure)
3] Ill Wind (All Stars)
4] Glacia (Newcomers) & Big Rig's gauntlet run
5] Bearer of Aegis (All Star)
6] Mystic Maiden (Pure) & CX-1237's gauntlet run
7] Ruin (All Stars)
8] Infernia (Newcomers) & Dismal's gauntlet run
9] Team action
10] Quarters and Semis
11] Finals
12] Catchup interviews, gossip, exhibition matches.

Lets hope I can get all stuff done for me before March 19th... I am having a small holiday then.. leaving the 19th for Thailand.

Not sure what's happening this weekend (5th-6th) for me, so I may have to update on that. Will hopefully see.
Uhhmm...think Von Schaden still needs to fight a few people. Ech, so much to do, so little time! Blarg!

TODAY:

Unfortunately @oreso won't be around this evening and I won't be around during the day. So the plan for Gladiators matches is as follows:

League matches can still be scheduled, please contact @oreso during the day and @Bunny during the evening if you would like a ref. Remember you have until tomorrow evening to get your matches sorted - you will be awarded 1 point for every match in your league you are unable to organise in time.

We are still good to do team fights today, that said however during the day I am out as is my husband (@Alcione) so a couple of teams will be down a couple of members!

TOMORROW:

I will be arriving at the cages in Pocket D soat 5PM to start the RP. This evening's matches will focus on the Team League - join a team or make one!

As team stuff has been slow we are implementing the following for ease:

* A team may challenge any other team
* A team may only have 2 qualifier fights (This is to stop a more active team challenging everyone and getting points that way. It also encourages people to alt around to help other teams with a different character ec)
* The two teams with the most points will be put into a match against each other in the finals week to determine the overall winners.


10 PM: At 10PM it will be announced who from all of the qualifiers will be going through to the knockout stage and who their opponents will be.

Team matches can carry on after this announcement.

So, wait, today is the last day for Pure league too? Al's done all his fights, but Von Schaden's been missing opponents for a while now (I think two have actually dropped out)

Blech....RL, you git

Yes, tomorrow at 10pm is the point the finalists for all leagues will be announced and people have until then to get their matches in if they can.

Well, that means fighting Beets char, then. Which should be ok.
BlackKnight seems to have dropped off the face of the earth...aaaand Pious likely still has me on ignore. And hasn't been in-game. *shrug*

Yeah, he's there for IC purposes, the producers of the show weren't sure if he'd return from the dead to take part within 3 days XD

I'll try and get online before 10 to have Von Schaden face off with Beets char. Or, if I can get a little extension then that'd help. But ya =]

The knockout stage is well underway! Matches took place this weekend and will continue to take place during the week.

Grab myself or @oreso ingame to arrange matches. Please try to get matches done before Saturday 19th of March. That's this Saturday as that will be our grand final event! This is also the cutoff point for Gauntlet runs.

hmm... I fly away that day...

this match will be np. As soon as three of us are on we do.

My guarenteed 'on' time is 10:30-11 onwards every day. Before that I can't guarentee being on at the moment, not without some prior notice. If a judge doesn't mind pulling a semi late one, thats not such a problem.
