This is where all the official stuff goes, like time-outs, announcements, matchups and such.

As such, it will stay locked.

Here are the matchups for the first round of the Tournament:

(number in parenthesis is the random number rolled on d100 scale to establish seeding)

Yozshand (2) vs. Raine Loire (5) vs. Nuncia Algos (7)

Grad (13) vs. Wolf231 (17) vs. ddranimestyle (21)

MyShipSails (32) vs. Nine (33) vs. Nighttimewaters (34)

Tengu (35) vs. of_shattered_origins (36) vs. Chase (37)

jodai (44) vs. Hiro (48)

LeboyX (51) vs. Scottsonknight (55) vs. bluedragonfire (69)

koko_menoso (74) vs. Kaine Wolf (82) vs. Michael (88)

Khan Nouveneau (90) vs. That_guy (94) vs. LordSawSaw2 (99)


The battlegrounds were pre-written and the matchups were simply slotted into them. No intentional advantage or disadvantage was given to any party.


*Special note* All battles will go to a total of 46 posts, thereby giving all players an even 15 posts a piece. The 1v1 battle will still go to a 45 post limit.


Good luck.

Your time starts now.

Koko_Menoso has failed to post within the 4 day time limit (Post due today at 7:33am, GMT-5). As such, Koko_Menoso is disqualified from the tournament as per the 'time out' rules laid out at the beginning of the tournament.

That Guy has failed to post within the 4 day time limit (Post due today at 8:21am, GMT-5). As such, That Guy is disqualified from the tournament as per the 'time out' rules laid out at the beginning of the tournament.

Sorry guys. Rules are rules, I'm just here to enforce them.

Their battles will now be regular 1v1 matches. The battles between Khan & LSS2 and Kain & Michael will now follow the post limit set for 1v1 matches.

Having made a new character, grad has dropped out of the King of Darkness tournament, leaving Wolf and DDR to battle it out at the beach - Wolf has 96 hours to post from the time stamp on this post, being that this is when it was made official.

Also, anyone who has dropped from the tournament will have their name removed from the relevant thread title - making it easier to check on times and turn order.

Remember, all 1v1 battles go to 45 posts...

Nine has decided to drop out of the tournament, leaving MSS alone to battle NTW. The poor bugger. I don't envy him one bit .

Nine's name has been removed from the battle title to reflect this change.

At least it wasn't MSS leaving Nine out to dry with a very lethal woman at hand.

Unless my math is horribly off, which has been known to happen from time to time...

Wolf231 has failed to post within the 4 day time limit (Post due today at 4:01 PM GMT-7). As such, Wolf231 is disqualified from the tournament as per the 'time out' rules laid out at the beginning of the tournament.

Ironically, this means that DDR is through to the next round of the tournament - a manner in which he/she lost the last KoD in the final round...




And again, if my math is off, please tell me...

Wolf231 has failed to post within the 4 day time limit (Post due today(Dec 9th) at 3:18pm, GMT-5). As such, Wolf231 is disqualified from the tournament as per the 'time out' rules laid out at the beginning of the tournament.

DDR advances to the next round of the tournament.

Lord Sawsaw2 has failed to post within the 4 day time limit (Post due today(Dec 9th) at 11:14pm, GMT-5). As such, Lord Sawsaw2 is disqualified from the tournament as per the 'time out' rules laid out at the beginning of the tournament.

Khan advances to the next round of the tournament.

Due to the distinct amount of people that have requested it - that and the fact that we don't want to have any more people dropping from the tournament due to time than we have to, I hereby declare BANKRU-, I mean, a "Christmas Armistice" for the King of Darkness Tournament.

This unofficial, unenforced cessation of hostilities will begin at 000hrs on Thursday, December 23, 2010 (Wed/Thur) and will continue until 000hrs on Monday, January 3, 2011 (Sun/Mon). The time is understood to be at GMT, so that most people on this site will be inconvenienced equally.


This means four things:

1. People are not REQUIRED to post within this time frame.
2. People may post in their battle if they wish.
3. If your post becomes due within this time period (which will happen to everyone) and was posted before the armistice begins, you are off the hook!
4. The person whose turn it is at the end of the will have four days (96 hours) from the date/time of the ending of the armistice to post before being timed out.


Understand that if your opponent(s) post during the armistice, that you may be next up and possibly eliminated. Stay on your toes!

Kaine_Wolf has failed to post within the 4 day time limit (Post due today(Dec 14th) at 9:04am, GMT-5). As such, Kaine_Wolf is disqualified from the tournament as per the 'time out' rules laid out at the beginning of the tournament.

Michael advances to the next round.

MyShipSails has conceded the tournament. NTW advances to the next round of the KoD.

SSK has tendered his resignation from the tournament, leaving BDF and LeboyX to duke it out.

Just in case you didn't notice, the armistice has now ended. The four-day limit will go into effect from the previously agreed upon time (midnight, January 3 2011 - GMT)


Happy new year and happy writing!

By his own admission...and a bit of checking...of_shattered_origins has exceeded the four-day limit for posting and has been eliminated from the tournament.

The fight will continue with Tengu vs. Chase.

Due to a miscommunication and not as much due diligence as is necessary, I timed out of_shattered_origins early. While his posts in the discussion thread make it plausible that he would not be able to post before that deadline, I jumped the gun.

Therefore, of_shattered_origins has been reinstated to the tournament and is on the clock as of the time on this post, with my apologies.
