Secret Santa 2024
Original Post
[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.



WEAPON GUIDELINES

Your weapon will not be longer than the length of the tori
You weapon will not be wider than the width of 2x the tori's bicep
Your weapon will not be a gun
If your request is not sent in by the stated time you will be using the same weapon you used in your previous fight
You can pick a different design every time if you'd like
No changes are to be made to the weapon once submitted

REQUEST FORMAT:

Size: Small/Mid/Large
Placement: Left Hand/Right Hand, Upside down/Right side up/Outward(toward opponent)/Backward(away from opponent)/Horizontal(across both hands)
Weapon Type: Mace, Sword, Whip, etc
Description: One or two sentences regarding other specific details for your weapon

[Insert reference picture of your weapon here.]

Send all weapon request PM's to the user: ElGodsmith

Disclaimer: ElGodsmith has complete creative control over your weapon. Your design will be as simple/complicated as the amount of object slots and your weapon request form.



MOD GUIDELINES

For this event, Smilies2 has developed a unique mod to support your arena combat (LINK HERE:The Arena Mod). This mod uses a balance system and customized joints to encourage the use of weapons. Due to these changes to classic toribash gameplay, it's important that participants download this mod and familiarize themselves with it (and maybe test out their modded weaponry).

If you have questions relating to gameplay, strategies or specific mod details, feel free to PM your concerns to Smilies2.

Srsly.!?
I had pmd you like ... 1 - 2 days before End of the friday , and i kept waiting for your reply. you just cant say thats all my fault, You should blame the timezone instead.
And by ' YOU WERENT ABLE TO SCHEDUL it out' you mean that its my job to schedule it? ( focus on your own Grammer and english before pointing out someone else's)
All i recieved from your pms is that you were telling that ' i cant play right now' ' iam gonna sleep' and stuff.
You always regret'd when i was available to play
And besides' that . Nice Way to win without fighting m8. Wanting your opponent to dq or drop out of the Event. And win by default.
But Nah!
Idk if we have to time to do the fight right now
<Takayshi> Who is Takayshi? And why he has a Quote of something that Takayshi never said?

I've been thinking about this for a while, and we cannot continue to hold this event in these circumstances. Most people who joined this event were eliminated due to not fighting or not having time to fight. This isn't what we want. We want everyone to compete in an event to enjoy it fully being able to play the game in a different way to earn some cool stuff, but the fact that this event relied on participants' schedules being fairly clear for up to a month was a mistake and we are genuinely sorry for those that couldn't even get to compete properly.

In the future we will more than likely bring this back, but in a way that you guys are not penalized for not having an open schedule. Along with that, on our part we cannot continue to make mods specific to this event if half of them aren't being used due to what I've explained above. For this event faltering to this state due to time concerns, I've dealt out the prize money of the entire event among those of you who were supposed to compete last week. Though it's not as much as the full prize, I hope this will compensate at least slightly for the time you have spent playing the game and designing your weapons. To supplement I have also placed all of you on a VIP list for the next god team event, if willing, you will have a guaranteed spot in the next event.

So again, sorry that this did not turn out as planned for either parties, but we feel that this was more work than fun for everyone involved. Next time around we'll be putting the time constraints on ourselves rather than you guys so you can have more fun. This idea will probably be brought back in a way that is more enjoyable for the participants (and us!). We apologize for shutting down this event, and it's quite embarrassing.

We hope to make it up to you in the future, and also hope that we will have your continued support.
