[MoC] Irish Gladiator Tournament
The Irish Community
Dear mortals of Ireland, your emperor mirek is holding a gladiator tournament, in order to give you all a chance to prove yourselves against one another, and to earn his most glorious respect by entertaining him.
The tournament will have 8 teams competing against one another, and each team will have 3 fighters, meaning 24 fighters in all. The tournament will be 3 rounds: A round of 8, round of 4, and round of 2.
THE FIGHTERS
The fighters can come from any divisions, and will be randomly assigned to a team by myself. (not very random afterall i suppose) and if one needs adjusting then the emperor will do so.
THE DRAFT
If 24 fighters don't volunteer, then the emperor will draft the rest of the needed fighters.
THE ARENA
We've just finished installing the big screen monitors and surround sound system in the new Dublin Colosseum.
THE COMBAT
After reviewing the leaderboards at the end of the round, lets suppose the following are the stats:
note: I kept the numbers small and simple to keep it easier to understand.
TEAM A
1st Bhane 1,000,000 damage
2nd An Slaugh 500,000 damage
3rd Paddy Obrien 450,000 damage
vs.
TEAM B
1st BeidnyMis 1,100,000 damage
2nd Anthony Colby 450,000 damage
3rd Colin Fox 300,000 damage
Bhane and BeidnyMis have the most damage, therefore they face off. BeidnyMis wins with 100k to spare, therefore he survives the battle and Bhane is slain.
Next 2 in rank of damage are An Slaugh and Colby, which An Slaugh beats Colby with 50k left over.
Next, Paddy beats Colin with an extra 150k left behind.
But the match isn't over just yet! We came here to see a bloodbath didn't we? Nobody wins until an entire team is slain. The strongest face off in the next wave of fighting as well. Round two would look like this:
TEAM A
1st Paddy Obrien 150k
2nd An Slaugh 50k
vs
TEAM B
1st BeidnyMis 100k
Paddy would defeat BeidnyMis with 50k to spare, therefore Team A would advance. Bhane would however not go on with his team as he was killed in battle. Therefore teams may go into a round outnumbered, players may have far more kills than others, and one man armies could wipe everyone out in the tournament.
Once again, the battle goes on until an entire team is defeated, and each round of battle pits the fighters with highest damage against one another.
ADVANCING ROUNDS
Though your damage doesn't replenish in battle, it does restart the next round of the tournament to whatever your damage is for that week in the leaderboards. Therefore each round lasts one week, beginning and ending on Tuesday.
THE FINAL
When a team has won in the final, the emperor may choose to reward all of the remaining fighters... or he may choose to force the fighters to turn on each other and fight until only one remains.
THE PRIZE
Each winner will get 20 gold, and i may try and get someone to develop an avatar as well.
ENTRY
If you'd like to enter in the tournament then just message me or let us know in the comments below. There is no fee for entry. The tournament will start on Tuesday, the 10th.
CONCLUSION
For most, the combat will make sense as time goes on. But for those who may still have difficulty, just do as much damage as you can.

Signing on for the meat grinder.
Which ever team has the Division 4 player who beats the other team's Division 4 player in the first round is the team which is going to win 😛
My name is Maximus Brutus Lightninghandius: general armies of the north, commander of the Felix legions, loyal servant to the true emperor: Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance - in this life or the next.
The only true emperor is Mirekus Ceasar, you heretic
lol you wish you were Marcus Aurelius. Used to teach at some wizard school or something, but then switched out for his twin brother so he could rule Rome. He was awesome. And a rugby fan.
Me, me. Liamus Tatlockus.
boated
BLOOD!
my temporal computer representation will participate.
I'll play. (My team should remind me to play)
I'll join it. I feel all good about the results above 😃
Who do I bribe to get IBB or someone like that on my team?
Patricius Brienus Hiberniae defies you to meet me in the arena.
Then we'll watch the lions eat some poor sod while enjoying a few pints.

Lucius Mummius Cursor wishes to enter this tournament
I will sign on too.
But you should know that gladiator contests rarely ended in bloodbaths or death as gladiators were too expensive to waste willy nilly.
By the way my Roman name is Caius Larcius Sura
Decimus Larcius Paulus is for my real name. Kind of like that better.
I'm in. Though it should be noted that if in RL you find yourself next to spursred.... Surrender
Don Margocious would like to sign in

Love the colosseum in Dublin pic, although controversial that it has been built on the southside!
I'd love to play but I've cut down significantly on my fighting. I shall be an excited spectator shouting from the sidelines.
Cool idea.
I'm in if any spots are still available
Salvia Messalina will be in this tournament !
I have not yet visited this Colosseum in Dublin, so I'm in.
Sure why not 😃
I love your new colosseum, would love to compete if I was Irish!
The emperor has made an exception for you, brave fighter.

Lol Dublin Colosseum. I swear eIreland has the best entertainment. If you guys don't get enough fighters would you consider drafting an eAussie?
The emperor has accepted your brave volunteering.
