[ES] Better Safe Than Sorry
This is an event all about being gamble aware, we have had too many members of the ES team being taken out by gambling tycoons and drug cartels because of their crippling debt and addiction. You may have noticed our drop in numbers, well now you know the reason. As there are still members of our team involved in such dangerous activity we thought we needed to raise awareness, not only within the team but the whole community, and what better way to do this than through a toribash event!
In case you're interested, the drug cartels are coming for fallu next. He stole a load of magic mushrooms and had a huge trip where he thought he saw some horses with square wheels, when all he saw was two regular guys riding past each other on some bikes.
How will it work?
You will be placed in a tournament tree, to advance you must win your matches, pretty simple. The tournament tree has a prize, but there is another way of winning in this event - gambling.
You can place bets both on the winner of a match and on the winner of the entire event. The winnings will be shared amongst the people who bet on the winner.
But wait! That's not all! If you're in the tournament and you bet on a match, depending on whether you win or lose the bet you will also get an advantage or disadvantage in your next fight. If you won your bet, you start as if you had already won 2 fights! But if you lost your bet, you start as if you had already lost 3 fights.

Don't dm me pictures of bowls that you find attractive.
The rules are there and have been agreed to, it is not going to change
The reason they are high is for firstly the betting system to be able to work, secondly a large number of games ensures the winner is determined more by skill level and less by luck. In addition, generally speaking the difficulty is finding a time you are both available, the difficulty is not that time bracket you have found to meet in being too short I anticipate that will not change in this event.
I do not want to clutter this thread with people disagreeing with the rules, if you wish to continue this discussion take it to PMs or find me in IRC, when I am online you will be able to find me in #events.
