I'm mulling over the idea of a fighting tournament on Spring 44, in honor of Uphis's Spring Festival. I know it seems really close to the current plot, but I wanted to give a good amount of time to prepare.
The philosophy granted to the monks' Selection Test would apply: the better fighter would win, not necessarily the one who ultimately pins his opponent. This would allow for the combat threads to be evaluated by anonymous OOC judges for adherence to points and rules as well as overall writing quality and strategy. In essence, the writing would be honored above the points.
It's a tournament style I've used on other sites, but I can understand why some might not appreciate it. If you would, give me your thoughts, and let me know if you think your character would participate. I would need around 8 players for it to work. Foreigners would also be welcome.
