The first day of the 100,000L$ Bitter Thorns was held at The Spartan Empire sim last September 13, 2008 and I was there to witness a few of the fights and to take some snapshots, of course. Registration for that day’s tournament started at 8:00AM SLT (Second Life Time) and ended at exactly 11:00AM SLT. Fighters and warriors from other sims, even outside of RPG Empire, came to participate. Even my friend Boying Ansar and fellow fisherman Magos Destiny registered to fight.

100K Registration @ Sparta

I didn’t participate in the tournament but I did watch a few matches. The fights were held in The Spartan Empire’s arena but the fighters were asked to stay in The Roman Empire’s coliseum. They were to be summoned to The Spartan Empire when it was their time to fight. This strategy greatly reduced the amount of lag which usually accompanies huge events like this one!

Tournament Combat Meter

The new queen of The Spartan Empire sim, mercedes Stransky, supervised the fighters registration. A special combat meter and a special tournament sword were made available to the fighters. They are the official combat meter and sword for the tournament. No other swords or combat meters will be used except these two.

Snapshots

Here we see one of those who registered for the event (or did she?)!

This is what a muted avatar looks like. This avatar's name is Murriadoc Alter.

Wearing less can help lessen lag while fighting but I think romani Mayo had other things in mind!

Beside the naked lady was Shina Boucher. Sexy but not too revealing! LOL!

The Baroness of England, Sashay Segall, was there to watch the fights!

The Empress of Samurai Japan was also there!

LinkPast Philbin won one of his match when his opponent didn't show. I guess he scared the hell out of him. LOL

I went to The Roman Empire sim to check out the fighters and look what I saw there. !!!

Anyway, this are some of the snapshots of the first day of the 100,000L$ Bitter Thorns Masters Tournament and I hope you enjoyed them.
