Well it is good to see that I have some people interested. The thread will be staying around at the top for a while to let it all soak in. As I had said, this is to give me a feel for what sort of respond I get. Now to address the questions.

Psiko: First question, the starting time for the tournament is undecided currently. I am going through the process of seeing the respond I get from the forum to plan accordingly. Also I need to work out the story, background and plot for the first tournament. I hopefully will make this first one as memoriable as possible and exciting.

Second question, no like any other tournament you will be not allowed to pick who you go up against. This is not completely cooperative, it is mainly competitive. The groups will be randomized, though if there are sides or warring countries, I will be taking that into consideration as well.

Zeke: As I said in the inital post, character profiles will not be request until the tournament's background, plot and the like has been sorted out. Because I will be treating this like any other RP in the fashion that I will be creating a world for you all to be participating in. As such, I will be making nations, kindgoms, races. I will provide you with enough foundation for you build from. Though creativity and independence to build on your own from what little you are given will be an important part of the tournament and whether you succeed or not.

I do want to emphasis that the quests do not require you to be successful for you to complete them. Your characters could fail in their assignments if the odds are too overwhelming. Victory or failure does not matter, it is the how you get there that is important and the manner in which you do it.
