Revised "Naked Clash" Idea

Thank you everyone for your responses to the other "Clash" thread. I don't want to be responsible, directly or indirectly, for lost virtue, so I've revised my "Clash" idea. I toyed with having the teams clear certain places in WoD (like Cove Orc Fort), but the limitations there are pretty monumental, including size of mobs, length of time during respawns, confirming that the area is clear etc.

So, here is what I've come up with:

    1.) The competition will be held in The Jhelom Fighting Pits on Saturday, February 28th at 9pm EST. (I'm trying to schedule it at a time when everyone can participate, even those folks from "down under." :D )

    2.) Teams will battle each other "to the death." The last person standing wins the competition for their Team.

    3.) Teams will be randomly "seeded" against each other in a single-elimination tournament. As a Team wins, it continues in the competition. If a Team loses (all members of that Team are killed in a single round of combat), they are out. As teams move on, the entire team will move on, even those that died in a previous round.

    4.) Teams will be made up of 3 players per Team.

    5.) No henchies, summoneds, tamed animals, wands or area effect spells will be allowed (this includes plague and snowstorm). In addition, no explosion potions may be used. (These restrictions are to reduce lag, not to penalize certain groups like Order Guards, Tamers, Archers and Mages.)

    6.) Only regular bolts or arrows will be allowed--no fire, frost or the old poison ones.

    7.) Players must be unmounted.

    8.) No players may be summoned into the Pit after the fighting begins.

    9.) Poison is acceptable.

    10.) Carry as much or as little regs, kindling, bandages, healing, curing and other potions as you want.

    11.) Team members will fight in like-colored robes. Only player-made leather armor and player-made weaponry will be allowed. No skill buffs will be allowed. No jewelry will be allowed. This includes staves. (This is going to be on the Honor system, which I know the players of WoD have in abundance. I'm not going to ask everyone to strip to prove they aren't wearing buff shirts, for example.)

    12.) Teams will submit an "entry fee" of 30,000 gold coins per team. The total funds will be divided up among the Top 3 teams as prize money. First Place gets 70% of the total, Second Place gets 20% and Third Place gets 10%. The total paid out will be determined by how many teams sign up (hopefully a lot!)

    13.) Each team will elect a Captain. The Captain will be responsible for turning in the needed funds before the competition and will also be responsible for dividing up any winnings.

    14.) I am asking for item or cash donations, if people would like to contribute them, to be divided evenly among the Teams that do not finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd. The amount of these prizes for each team will depend on the donations received. (I know I have some deco items I can donate.)


That's my idea, so far. Please post questions/suggestions here.

If you are ready to sign up, please post your Team Name, the Team Captain's Name and the Team Member's Names.

Thanks for reading!

Doesn't it see "unwoddian" to do this sort of thing. I know no one will actually get hurt by it but it just seems wrong to me to attack a fellow citizen even in "fun".

I suppose it's kind of like a game of tag with REALLY tough rules for the one who's it. :silly:

I'm just bein goofy. I like the idea of doing SOMETHING, but the PVP has me spooked too. If you need someone to take pictures or be a medic or referee, I'm willing. I can't believe I'm a concientious objector in UO too. :roll:

Aww, Ehran. I'm not a big fan of pvp, myself...partly because I am really bad at it. Still, some people do like it, and as long as no one is hurt by it I don't see it as "unWoDian." There is a big difference between a contest of skill (where there is no loss of stats, virtue, or loot) and being pk'd by some idiot who just stole everything you were carrying. I don't see it as being any different from a boxing match or other contact sport.

Hmm I just noticed you said player meade LEATHER armor. We have to wear leather, not even exceptional plate?

Oh, and if no plate armor, just leather, does that count for sheilds too? Do we need exceptional wooden shields/bucklers instead of heaters or metal kites?
