[GOD] The Arena
64 players enter the arena, only one can take home the prize.
With the forging prowess of master ElGodsmith, players will battle in armed combat using personalized weaponry designed by their own imaginations. The key to crushing your opponents is your weapon's design.
Forge your own advantage in the Arena.
BE SURE TO READ EVERYTHING (I PROMISE IT'S NOT HARD), ANY QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO ANY RULES OR GUIDELINES SHOULD GO IN THIS THREAD.
Upon entering this event, you will receive 2 object slots as well as 8 joints (connectors) and with these, you will create your first weapon for battle. This is achieved by sending your design through a PM to ElGodsmith. He will forge your steel and you will be prepared for battle.
You will have 5 days to compete with your weapon against your opponent in a first to 3 duel. A custom mod will be made for your duel in each round. This mod will include the weapons for both players and this will be the only mod you may use for your duels. Once the winners are determined, the players who move onto the next round will gain an additional two object slots.
After the 5 days of competition, you will have a 2 day rest period. During this time, you will have the opportunity to redesign, or enhance your weapon using your newly acquired object slots and be matched up against a new opponent for the next week.
BUFFS
Each week there will be different milestones to complete within your duel in order to gain buffs to your weapons. The milestones will change between rest days so be sure to check the thread before competition to see what you must accomplish in order to receive a desired buff. These buffs will only last for one duel (round) and buffs are stackable.
motor -your weapon can use a rotatable joint that spins automatically (good for drills and chainsaws)
bounce - contact with your weapon will cause increased force
dual wielding - you gain the ability to wield two of the same weapon, or 2 different weapons in each hand
grip - you may choose a part of your weapon to be un-grabbable by the opponent
invisibility - your weapon becomes invisible and only you will know what the weapon is and looks like
sabotage - one object randomly stripped from your opponent's weapon
MILESTONES
Must be accomplished with use of your weapon:
fracture at least 1 bodypart in every match (and win) - receive bounce buff
disarm your opponent by dismembering the arm wielding their weapon (and win) - receive dual wielding buff
take less than 10k points of damage in any match (and win) - receive motor buff
do not get hit by the opponents weapon in any match (and win) - receive invisibility buff
dismember your opponent while grabbing them (and win) - receive grip buff
decap and disarm your opponent in at least two matches (and win) - receive sabotage buff
DUEL GUIDELINES
As said above, these are first to 3 duels but here are some guidelines for the following situations:
If a player pings after or on frame 350, it will count as a loss. Any pings before that frame will warrant a rematch.
You must play in the mod assigned to you and your opponent.
Make sure that you and your opponent are on the correct sides using the correct weapons (tori side and uke side). This will be indicated in the filename ie. Mwah vs Smilies2 - mwvssm.tbm - mwah (tori) and smilies2 (uke)
Post your score after completing your duel, and add replays if you complete any milestones.
If there are any discrepancies, make sure you catch them with a screenshot before complaining.
DO NOT complain in this thread, send a PM to mwah if you have any issues.

teeth marks on my goosebumps, the chains frostbit me.
mwah isn't currently online so we haven't updated the OP but we have reached our max capacity of 64 players (If I'm counting correctly, Astral EDIT: Haluejah was the last participant to get in)
As for your questions, I'll do my best to answer them now.
You send a personal message (PM) to the username ElGodsmith using the weapon request form in the OP. He'll create your weapon for you.
No need. Just send a PM over the forums to ElGodsmith when you're ready to submit your weapon's design.
You can unofficially start sending your weapon requests now (A few people have done so). However, make sure you read the guidelines carefully in the OP as some people have already sent requests that are too complicated given the 2 object slot starting limit.
1st: The weapons will be normal.
2nd: We're aiming for you guys to start organizing your duels by Sunday.
3rd: Sure but keep in mind, weapons will be designed with some semblance of realism and balance (ie. ElGodSmith won't make a light but large sledgehammer that you can easily swing with one arm)
As stated in the OP, you cannot change your request once it's submitted. However, ElGodsmith will do his best to create your weapon with the available object slots. This is why it's important that your request follows the guidelines so you aren't surprised when your weapon isn't what you asked for.
Yeah, it's a pretty graphically intensive mod. All I can say is turn down your settings when playing this mod specifically. If that isn't possible, PM me and I'll see if I can make a "low-res" version for you and other people with similar problems.
Keep asking questions and we'll do our best to answer them but please read the OP before you do so. Other than that, thanks for the turnout guys, it's insane how much people have joined (and are still trying to join).
As for your questions, I'll do my best to answer them now.

Also, in the request can we ask for the weapon to be light?

I am confused with the object limit. I already sent mine in, and noticed that it's 3 objects. And it says only 2 object slots. Does that mean I need to resend one that doesn't mess with the rules? Or, am I screwed? .-.
