This is the battle that needs no introduction. Post a beginning thread in the Eastern Continent establishing the area as you role-play, and your Team's private drama shall unfold. But only the very best of you will achieve the top.
Yes. I am going to kick everybody's ass. It's all a question of when, where, how, and whether or not they'll find all the parts.

And now, for round two. Pointy Darkness's bye no longer is in effect, as this is the second round. We'll also start issuing round prizes. Only those who have won the first round may proceed. This includes pilots who've been CSFed - they are out of the running. Contrary to early announcements, people will have had repairs for this fight due to the enourmous length of time between the first and second rounds. Pilots will be placed in the Elemia Desert, with the coordinates of their next round match-ups in their navigational computers. Or maps. Depending on how l337 you wanna get.

The matchups are as follows:
Dawnstar vs Vagrant (Judged by someone other than me. I'm thinking either Jules or Nighteyes.)
Reaper's Bounty vs TeamAIZDAT (I'll judge this one)
Pointy Darkness vs Midnight Watch (Orpheus will judge this one.)

Each pilot here may add 75k to their funds. They've earned it. Kyne Xaratan earned Best in Show (Seriously. I'm not allowed to fight anymore) and Jeremy whatsisname of Midnight Watch gets Best Sportsman for the first round.

Alright, I need reasons why the battles haven't started yet. Orpheus and I are the only ones who've started.

Apparently Mia's in a (to quote Chris) RAH! ME NO LIKE RPG! ME WRITE! mood. So that would be why they haven't started yet.

New match-ups: Reaper's Bounty vs Pointy Darkness. AIZDAT and Midnight Watch are both out of the Royal Cup.

Just to add, I'll be judging this one. With a Judgeman based on the personality of John, the guy with the big bang complex. I expect explosions and pain. Lots of both.

Because that battle rocked so hard, I created an entirely new forum for it: Best Battles.

Alright. Nighteyes, Chris, you have until the end of today to post the beginning of your battle. It's been two days; there's no reason for the delay. You're not waiting on repairs anymore, so please get out there and fight.

Sonuvabitch!
Where were you two? I told you that you had to post it two, three days ago. Chris wasn't on since then, but Nighteyes has been. I gave y'all four days to get this battle started, but time is now up.
Alright. I'll get to work on the battle between Dawnstar and Tyrant Saurers. I'm sorry, but we can't hold up a tournament for people.

Best Sportsman, Overall: Silberner Falkestern
Best Sportsman, Overall: Mark Zwei
Best in Show, Overall: Team Vagrant

For having made it to the PC Finals (There's one battle after that, between the PC victor and the victor of the previous Royal Cup, Tyrant Saurers), Dawnstar and Reaper's Bounty both receive 100k.
Best Sportsman, Quarter-Finals: Silberner Falkestern

And next is the battle between Team Dawnstar and Team Tyrant Saurers! Expect boxxorz to be roxxorzed!
