A Tourney almost as historic as the Royal Cup, this fight carries a great deal of prestige in winning its cup. To have done so a pilot must defeat ace pilot Solaris Druidine in his favored zoid, the mammoth Draconis, and a host of other pilots eager for the cup. It is the original 'Big Bad Battle' and is always a blast.

This is going to take place now, in game time. It's part of the Royal Cup Tournaments, and its outcome will help determine standings in the Cup. Naturally, the Trick or Treat battle thingie interferes with that; Mia has decided to call it a no contest and give everybody Participation prizes ('cept Hank and Kyne, who're removed from the battle and not allowed prizes.)
Alright. So here's how this thing goes. Everybody can enter as many pilots as they wish. You can bring anything you want into here.
You'll be facing an ancient monster of a zoid, the Draconis. It will be piloted by none other than yours truly, in the persona of Solaris Druidine. I'll be coming at you hard, fast, and painful.
It'll be a blast. Join up.

January 20th? *twitches* Um, I'll sign up with all 5 characters, assuming I'm back from my bushwalk. It's January 20th it wraps up, and given that I live in Australia, I may have recovered just enough to participate. Is it AIM or Arena?

All of mine are in for this since I didn't get to participate last year ;.;

Team Silverhammer is in.

x-x; I'm in! *dies* Stupid.. Friday.. 13th..

It will be Arena. I don't want to try judging this thing on a library computer in half-hour increments. I know it sounds like fun, but . . .
Mia, don't knock Friday the Thirteenth. It was my last day of high school. Beat that, pansies.
Oh, all you MMMers . . . your deaths shall be in Li'l Al's honor. So fear. Fear for your lives.
(Mia, this is how you do horror. You tell them what you're going to do to them, you tell them as you're doing it, and then you do it again. Lather, rinse, repeat until dead.)

Dorian Jacobs is so in!

The fight takes place tomorrow, kibbles and kiddies. I'm moving out the post where y'all can see it. Feel free to post your starting stuff in it. It's possible to post combat actions, but highly ill-advised - 'cause then the Drac would just focus on you.

Best In Show: Melissa
Sole Survivor: Kyne Xaratan
Second Place: Jenny Xaratan
Best Sportsman: Jenny Xaratan, Silberner Falkestern (She tried, dammit!)
Best CSF: Melissa, Hank Fisk, Siren Falkestern, Dorian, Tamar, all of Team Vagrant.

I had to think on those decisions, pilots. We had some excellent performances there, including some from pilots whose time in the spotlight had to be curtailed.
Anybody pointing out that I made out like a bandit on this one will be beaten. Severely.
