Defend the Hill Top

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Gandy Kidd of [The Roman Empire] sent out a notice for a “Defend the Hill Top” tournament. It sounded really cool, right? Of course it is, unfortunately, it was just a Free For All tournament with an obstacle in the center of the arena floor. Actually, if you remove the pyramid like hill then it’ll just be an ordinary Free For All tournament because the hill has no real purpose. The only thing that was different was that a few fighters will start fighting on top of the hill while the others fight on the arena floor. Why not just let everyone fight on the floor?

Defend the Hill Top

The way I see a “Defend the Hill Top” tournament is like this. All fighters will start on the arena floor. When the command to fight is given, they will all run and climb up the hill while fighting there way up. Once they are up there, they will have to fight off all the other fighters who are climbing up and trying to get up there as well. In other words, the fighters or fighter who gets up there first will have to “Defend the Hill Top”, for a set amount of time, to win. The amount of time he needs to stay on top can be 30 seconds to a minute or to whatever the tournament master wants it to be. (more…)

Couples Valentines Day Tournament

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

A few days before Valentines Day the Empress of Rome asked me for a couple of *KK* Rod of Red Roses. According to her she’ll be giving them away as prizes in a Couples Valentines Day Tournament and this event was held in the Colosseum. I didn’t give her the rod she requested, instead I gave her all three of my Valentines Day Fishing Rods (*KK* Rod of Red Roses, *KK* Rod of Hearts and *KK* I Love You Rod). The request was a mystery to me because, as far as I know, there are no fishing areas anywhere in [The Roman Empire]. Mystery or not, I was more than happy to grant her request.

I went to the event after attending a Jousting Class in [Medieval England]. The class was conducted by Gunner Slade and it wasn’t a class but more of a practice session. I went there expecting to learn some new tricks or even tips on how to win Jousting Tournaments but, unfortunately, there were none. I left 45 minutes later and went to [The Roman Empire] to witness the Couples Valentines Day Tournament. (more…)

Fighting Around a Big Hole!

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

I was editing my Tiki Pavilions when I received an invite from the God of Rome, mikeD Streeter, to watch the Beast versus Gladiator Tournament at the Colosseum. He teleported me to where he was which at first I didn’t know where because everything was rezzing (appearing/loading) slowly. Well, [The Roman Empire] sim is a very active sim with lots of people coming in and out so it’s not surprising to experience some lag from time to time. Anyway, I wasn’t able to take snapshots of the Beast versus Gladiator Tournament but, fortunately, a second tournament quickly followed it. It was a standard Free For All Tournament with a total prize of 5,000L$.

The Arena floor became much smaller because of the Hole!

Hmmm, wait, it wasn’t just your everyday Free For All Tournament. You see, a big hole was opened in the middle of the Colosseum’s arena floor. Wow! That was the first time I’ve seen it and it was really big. Now, the fighters must fight around the hole’s edge and if they fall in they’re dead, at least for that round. Just like the Platform and the Cage, the Hole adds a another level of difficulty to the fight. If I was down there fighting, it will force me to enable rendering objects which I usually turn off when fighting. Now, fighting with objects visible adds to viewer lag which is bad for me because it lowers my frame rate. (more…)

Dark Century’s New Arena

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

The fourth day of the 100,000L$ Tournament will be held at Dark Century on October 04, 2008 at exactly 12:00PM SLT (Second Life Time). To prepare Dark Century for the event, the owner of the sim, mikeD Streeter, removed the old arena and replaced it with a much bigger and better one.

Dark Century’s New Arena

The new arena is a creation of Marcello Oh and it’s twice as big and twice as dark as the old one. I like the old arena but it was a little bit crowded. The new arena has twice the space of the old. This will give the fighers some freedom to move around and avoid getting hit. Of course, too much running around is not allowed in the tournament but it also doesn’t mean that the fighters can’t move at all. (more…)

A Few Day 3 Photos

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

I woke up very early in the morning (around 3AM my time) to attend and watch the third day of the Bitter Thorns Master Tournament only to be greeted with bad news, hate and accusations. I will not go into the details of what happened since it’s not related to the tournament.

Birka's Arena

My day started terribly and because of that I wasn’t able to focus on the tournament or the fights. As always, I tried to just ignore and laugh it off but it was kinda hard specially when the Empress of Rome keeps on insisting that I did something wrong. In the end, I just kept quiet and did what I was there to do. (more…)
