Event Battle-Boarder Brawl BatCap Round 2!
BatCap Round 2!
Rules
Out of Tier Rules
- For Out of Tier requests, simply ping me with /u/corvette1710 on Reddit and state your case for why you believe someone's combatant is out of tier, then proceed with the debate as per normal. I will evaluate that request individual of the debate itself and make my decision with judge input in judgments. The character limit on OOT requests is 10k.
Reminder: I maintain the right to DM any user I believe to be skirting OOT lines and make my own OOT accusation, with said user having until the end of the round to defend themselves.
Battle Rules
- All combatants are aware of the basics of their allies' combat abilities but are in the blind on their opponents (unless they have canon knowledge of said person via sharing a fictional universe)
- All combatants have a full understanding of the map layout, including the bounds
- All combatants are fully aware that their enemy must be defeated for them to be able to survive, to be able to return to their home reality, and for the omnipotent organizers of this scenario to be satisfied. All combatants are aware of rules for the objective of the tournament
- Incapacitation is defined by being unable to continue fighting. Being knocked out, being killed, being BFRd, or fully succumbing to exhaustion. If this condition is met for more than 10 full seconds, your character loses, and in a 3v3, they are removed from the arena in a flash of light after being incapacitated for 10 seconds. To reiterate, combatants are aware of this rule. Note that being restrained does not count as being unable to fight if it's something like a physical grapple or generally something that needs concentration to maintain, for example, you can't hold someone in a full nelson for 10 seconds to delete them from a 3v3.
- Summons or 'fake' characters do not count for the purpose of a win condition - for instance, if a conjurer died in a 1v1 and left behind his 2 zombies, he would still automatically lose. This also applies to hive-minds or drone characters. This also means that characters who can reasonably be considered one entity can be run with ruling on a case by case basis, and will likely need to have a Prime Entity stipulated. This is, as well, determinable case by case without a specific end all be all example.
- Every combatant starts each round being teleported into the arena, knowing full well whomever they face down needs to die or be incapacitated in order for they themselves to advance and win and will do so.
Round 2 is 3v3.
In Round 2, the lineup order is ACB-132.
- Higher seed is letters, lower seed is numbers.
- Higher seed will be the first person mentioned in the match's parent post.
- Orientation is as marked on the map diagram.
All combatants begin without any weapons drawn or abilities active, hands idle at their sides, and the moment they teleport in they can begin combat. All combatants are in-character for the tourney itself. Characters with holsters or similar will begin with their weapons holstered, characters with weapons that cannot feasibly be holstered will begin with the weapons pointed at the ground.
The Map - Eichenwalde, Night
Here is a full walkthrough of the area. It is dusk, and it will be fully night five minutes after the match starts. All lighting comes from the moon and from torches.
The teams start approximately 7 meters apart; I have put together a few images, including diagrams and screenshots, of the map near the starting area. The map is open to them, generally.
There are places to break line of sight with the other team within a few steps' reach for both teams. Alternatively, the area between the teams is clear and relatively flat. This is so that brawlers can brawl and ninjas can ninja.
The bounds of the map are encased in an invisible, impenetrable whowouldwinium box. It detects fuckery, and if you try to cheese it, it deletes you.
There is a BFR ("battlefield removal" or "ring-out") mechanic, however; the Ravine beneath the bridge contains a river that will drown any character that is thrown or falls in and cannot return to the map (defined as any place within bounds that can be stood upon normally) under their own power or with the help of a teammate within ten seconds.
It does not matter if your character can breathe water or swim like a fish; the liquid is characterrantide and is chokingly toxic only after ten continuous seconds of exposure. There are no adverse effects before ten seconds and until that time it is physically equivalent to water in every other way. It similarly detects fuckery and deletes you if you try to cheese it.
Schedule
The round begins when this post goes up, on or about midnight EST May 21-22. The round ends midnight EST June 2-3. If you have not been granted a specific extension, any posts made after the deadline will not be counted.
Your first post must be sent to me by midnight EST of May 25-26. From then on, simply finish with either 2 or 3 responses apiece before the round ends.
Responses
In this tournament, I will use what I call "hybrid" structure; you and your opponent will send your Intro and/or Response 1 to me or someone I delegated to the task on Reddit via direct message, and then you and your opponent will decide which of you will be the first to post your Response 2, proceeding as would be normal in the sequential format.
The character limit is 10k for an Intro (the Intro post is itself optional) where you post your character's stats without comparing them to your opponent's. The character limit for responses in Round 2 is 20k characters. After a debate has had 3 responses each, you may add a conclusion of up to 5k characters which introduces no new arguments or scans.
