A "SIMPLE" EXPLANATION ON HOW THIS WORKS

There are 21 warriors in this contest. They will be divided into teams of 7 and groups of 3. NOTE: No person on the same team as another person will be on their group and vice-versa. The teams are basically just segregating the competitors from each other. The groups? They're essential to their survival in the competition.

Each day the contestants will battle. Winning a battle moves them up a weapon (with the exception of Charade and Assassin, whose weapons will instead be counted as wins) until they finally reach their strongest weapon. The team that loses the battle will go to Hwangseo Palace for the elimination round. Whoever has the weakest weapon is eliminated.

However, there is one way to stop elimination, or at least reverse it. Resurrection. To resurrect a person in a group, a group member must battle until they reach their strongest weapon and have won at least one battle with it. The catch? They have to drop back down to their weakest weapon, and they have no choice on whether they want to resurrect somebody or not. NOTE: If a person is resurrected during a battle, they take no further part in the competition until the next battle. Also, if two people can be resurrected, they fight to see which one will be resurrected.

Now, at an elimination round, let's take the standpoint that a person is about to be eliminated, but a person in their group already has their strongest weapon and has won at least one battle with it. This is the best position to be in, as it is a blocked elimination. Nobody gets eliminated for that round, and the best part? The person who was about to be eliminated stays at their current weapon, while the other drops back down to their weakest weapon and has to work their way back up.

So, where are the powers of resurrection limited? Once an entire group has been eliminated, those three competitors are out for good. They can never be resurrected again and are truly out of the competition.

So, that's how it goes. Any questions? PM me for answers!

RECAPS

EPISODE ONE

CHALLENGE: LAKESIDE COLISEUM NEWCOMER CHALLENGE
DESCRIPTION: A team, chosen at random, sits out of the first battle. The two other teams battle. The team that loses fights the team that sat out. If the team that loses loses again, they go to elimination. If the team that sat out loses, they fight the winning team from the first battle. If the team that sat out loses again, they go to elimination. If the winning team loses, then it is declared a draw. A team is chosen at random to go to elimination if that happens.

RECAP:
First Battle (Red VS. Purple)
Mitsurugi got off to a great start, defeating both Ivy and her father, Cervantes, and gaining two weapons. However, he lost to Nightmare, and Link was switched in. Link defeated Nightmare, but lost to Xianghua. Talim then defeated both Xianghua and Necrid. But Sophitia triumphed over Talim, and proceeded to beat the crap out of Taki. Charade then defeated both the Alexandra sisters, and won for the Red Team.
RED TEAM WINS.
Second Battle (Blue VS. Purple)
After an embarrassing loss, Ivy redeemed herself by winning against both Voldo and Astaroth. However, her streak was soon ended by Seung Mina. However, her streak would not last long, as Nightmare beat her. Kilik, however killed the Purple Team, getting three wins under his belt, until he was defeated by Sophitia. Sophitia defeated Raphael, but was trumped by Yunsung. Yunsung then defeated Cassandra, and secured the Blue Team's win, and the Purple Team's trip to the elimination.
ELIMINATION (Purple Team)

1. Necrid
1. Sophitia
4. Cervantes
4. Nightmare
4. Xianghua
X. Cassandra

Cassandra was eliminated

EPISODE TWO

CHALLENGE: LAKESIDE COLISEUM CAGED CHALLENGE
DESCRIPTION: It is basically the same as the first episode, except they're caged, so no ring outs. Oh, and because the Purple Team already eliminated someone, they get to sit out. Also, because we want everyone to have an even chance, the team order goes backwards.

ELIMINATION

TIE. Yoshimitsu
Because there was a tie, the competitors battled each other. The first one to lose two battles is eliminated. Unfortunately, the competitors lost one battle and won one battle, so it was left to a game of chance...

Yoshimitsu wasn't very lucky, and thus, was eliminated.

First recap up!

Daft Pink · January 22, 2008, 09:09:22 PM

I don't have SC2 :(

Sillyri · January 26, 2008, 05:31:32 PM

The second recap should be up tonight... hopefully...

If anyone needs a refresher on how the competition works, you can always PM me. But to put a situation out there, here goes.

Cassandra was just recently eliminated. She had the weakest weapon at elimination, thus, she was eliminated. That's how elimination works.

Yoshimitsu and Maxi are in her group, despite being on differing teams. Although it IS teams that go to elimination, not groups, groups are essential to survival in this competition. If you're the last one in your group, and you're eliminated, you can NEVER be resurrected again. Why? Well, because the two people who could resurrect you, HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED. Now, Yoshimitsu and Maxi will have to gain a lot of weapons to get Cassandra back, and avoid such an EMBARRASSING situation.

So, that's a little brief representation on how eliminations and resurrections work. Remember, you can always PM me if you have questions.

Sillyri · January 26, 2008, 08:00:27 PM

Hi guys... Yeah, that was a WHILE ago, wasn't it...

Well, sorry for the delay, but high school keeps getting in the way of things. But it will be up today. I actually have time to do it now due to the lack of homework that my teachers are giving me.
