The Kingseekers will field a team in the Grand Melee. We look forward to testing ourselves, and learning of the rules of Honor in a competition.

May Dasaria's days be ever brighter, that we may enjoy a fair competition, rather than spend it manning the walls or burying our dead.

The Kingseekers thank the queen for her invitation to partake in this jovial and exciting gathering.

May we request a Banner of the Kingdom of Dasaria to lead our troupe in the Queen's honor?

Yes, but primarily in the One-On-One Melee event. When i have a good amount of people interested I will break up the contestants into level ranges, then randomly draw thier rounds.

The Group Combat event is designed to see how well different levels and groups do interact with each other, so all levels will be allowed to join.

To keep the battle fair for all, magical weapons and items will be restricted for the the One-On-One melee. After all, this is a test of skills and knowledge, not who has collected the finest equipment.

Gideon.

I wanted all to be aware the games are still planned and on schedule. I have been asked why an entry form is require, as it seems to be the barrier for so many to enter.

It is so when the games are taking place, we do not have 20th seasons, fighting 3rd seasons.

Hope to see many more of you enter. And take notice, a notice has been given to me to announce that the games, now will be free enter. Making no reason for anyone not to come and attempt to take the prize.

I'd like to request a Banner of the Kingdom of Dasaria to lead their troupe in the Queen's honor.

As this is a contest of Dasarians competing against Dasarians to allow any of you to fight inder the Banner of the Kingdom of Dasaria would be inappropriate.
It would imply that the opponents of said troupe are, in fact, the enemies of the Kingdom. As Her majesty has no wish to make such an implication banners will not be issued for this contest.

The use of the Banner of Dasaria will be permitted and encouraged when fighting Varana and other enemies of Dasaria. When competing with one another use your own banner if one is needed.

IC: *Whispers to Judas* You think too small my friend - This could be a GIGANTIC backstabbing event. This is an opportunity to sow terror amongst those rose-sweet Dasarians! Coordinated backstabs, and several large Area-of-Effect spells on densely packed, unsuspecting spectators sounds like just the thing.

OOC: Yes, I know this would screw up other players' fun - so it's not actually a serious suggestion, but think of the carnage and death we could cause! MUAHAHAHAHA! ...Umm, that last part was in character.... Yea, um, that's it.

IC: *Still whispering* Or, if coordinating an assault is not an option, due to our rather scattered living conditions - what we have is a perfect opportunity to observe our opposition in action with no risk to ourselves. Since I am among the more "anonymous" members of our group, I plan to be in the crowd, observing capabilities and alliances. However, you may have to restrain me if the smell of blood in the arena grows too strong. I have lately been given over to uncontrolled rages while stalking my prey in the forest. The taste of human blood, in particular, has been quite a... *lustful shudder* stimulant... *Feng grinds his teeth, smacks his lips, and begins to eye Judas' ear in an unsettling fashion.*

A few area of effect spells and a couple of backstabs would only piss me off. See you in the pit.

*BURP, picks teeth*

OOC: HA! It just looks that way because her shirt is hanging from her ribcage. Also, her jeans (elves wear strange fashions) are unbuttoned. Like the caption says, it was just before the kill.

I was browsing the collected wisdom at the Order of the Whirling Serpent and found a text by an ancient monk named Sun-Tzu, and he has this to say:

Therefore, one who is skilled in warfare principles subdues the enemy without doing battle, takes the enemy's walled city without attacking, and overthrows the enemy quickly, without protracted warfare.

OOC: Feng is still publicly neutral (hence the *whispered* conversation). I was just trying to raise the spectre of a terrorist attack. Can't let the good guys get too complacent after all.
