For a long time Liberation, mayor of the player-city Grimoire would hold weekly 1v1 dueling tournament atop his dark tower. On occasion when needed they were held in Stormhold as well and hosted by myself and friends. It's time we brought that back! We'll use the same rules we always used AND keep track of everyone's victories and loses in a larger league scoring system. Jebidiah has worked out a Google spreadsheet that we'll keep updated and available to the public here at a later date. (scoring system still being worked out and won't begin until after the 1st of year) So let's have a fight night this Friday night like we used to!

I'd like to ask that people stable their horses rather than park them in the corner. There's a stablemaster just through the event gate in the courtyard. This is to help cut down on lag for competitors.
Results: 1st Place - Pax Romain 2nd Place - Roman 3rd Place - Stavros (screenshot: 1-23-15, Furbitron vs. leggo my eggo, first match to go to Sudden Death!)
Here is a list of the folks BRAVE enough to try! 1 Elaine Marley 2 amfeKk 3 Roman 4 crooks 5 Eleint 6 Zodist Gatis 7 Francois Villon 8 TnT 9 Stavros 10 Pax Romain 11 Furbitron 12 leggo my eggo 13 U LiNt LiCkEr 14 Jake The brave dwarf Zodist falls to foul magics in a brilliant flash of light! As TnT and newcomer Elaine Marley's fight stretched on near the 12 minute mark anticipation grew in the crowd to try the new 'Sudden Death' rules. Sometimes I don't know what's going on. Some fights are just more fun to watch than others. (templates etc) This one was amazing. Here we have U LiNt LiCkEr and amfeKk giong at it in one of the most entertaining fights of the night. Wild swings of health on both sides, dramatic moments and many close calls! Furbitron vs leggo my eggo becomes the first fight to go to Sudden Death! The fields begin to multiply! Members of the crowd, and past champions, are caught up in the action! More fields quickly blanket the arena! leggo finds a tiny space to hide moments before finishing off Furbitron in an epic first sudden death match! Stavros and leggo my eggo's match for third place also goes to sudden death! The crowd had fun. THE CHAMPION RETURNS! 7 time Friday Night Fight champion Pax Romain regains his title after felling Roman in a fiercely fought final bout! Thanks for coming everyone and thanks so, so much to you folks who have donated to make this possible!
