I want in! This will be fun!

Hm, maybe this is where I can finally test my skills... Perhaps I will find my master. Count me in, though I will need to procure a sword first.

No worries, one will be provided! And if a lightsaber is what you need because of a style you're used to with the feel of the saber over a physical blade, then several will be available as well, though of course built to only ever be set to the training stun setting.

*Thinks for a moment* I will use a physical blade. I think it would be.. Unfair to others if I used a lightsaber. *flashes an arrogant grin* thank you though. ^^

Okie dokie! No harm in it when it just stuns though. We're trying to make it as safe and fair as possible. It is supposed to come down to skill and effort over any special enhancements.

We look forward to everyone's incredible displays and efforts.

I have some questions though,
Is this only swords, as in physical weapons or are lightsabers allowed as well?
And are swords the only physical weapons permitted or would I be allowed to bring a spear or a warhammer as well as long as I'll ensure they only stun and do not cause lethal damage?
Also, is there a limit on amount of weapons per person?

The weapons must be bladed, that is the rule. A spear may be considered I will check with the other people keying in as the tournament officials, but a hammer would not be (Daggers or double ended blades are ok though for sure if anyone wondered). A person may carry up to three blades if at least one is of a different make and they are weapons the user is comfortable with (I.E. if someone typically carries a back up or different blade for an alternate style). Lightsabers are allowed and have been mentioned several times. There will be several made to only be able to stun provided, meaning they can't be switched to kill mode because no setting exists, and any tampering of the weapons before a match will be noticed since we're checking the gear as you enter the area. And don't think any force tricks will get you by security either, because as stated we are bringing in Ysalamir to keep force users from using abilities and to avoid anyone trying to slip under the rules.

Wait does he have 4 arms?
. . . . .if we need to we can go to 4, I just didn't imagine a participant with more than 2 hands. And I doubted a fight would likely not go beyond 2 backup blades in a fight.
Let me know if you need the 4 or if you're just meaning he usually carries 4 on him, its no big deal if we bump up the blade limit by one. We just don't want someone carrying around like 6 swords because they think they'll make them levitate or something, which they wouldn't be able to do to begin with because of counter measures.

That's not actually swordfighting! Of course you can't! Just like we're not letting force users immobilize, throw around, shock, or crush any NFU combatants.
Ysalamir are going to be around to prevent these things. Yes we expect you will have a slight edge in physical strength and dexterity than your average species would have still, but then certain species and even some human variants also have those so its fair to have that boost since others will too. We're just taking out the superhero powers to level the playing field. No precognition or hand waving the fight away against non force users. This is all the skill of your bladework and your physical prowess and training. We expect to have fights come down to better writing purely through the combat and not through a special advantage.
Now if you want to enter the galactic royale later on where its a best out of best in all categories feel free to throw boulders and fling a hundred swords and use special equipment all ya like. Because that also would be a fun and amazing tournament to determine the best writer of combat and best equipped character. Although whose fit to host that I'm not sure. That'd be up to the Galactic Governments.
*Looks at Republic, OP, and CIS as likely hosts with the authority and coverage to do this.

Alrighty then!
I'm super interested to see how everyone's character fights. One sword style? Two? Double Ended Blades? Small blades or long? Parry and Counter Focused? Heavy Swing and Block? Aggressive or Defensive?
Can;t wait to see what everyone is like and how they're written out!

Jeff will come and attend, with a light-saber in a little while. He'll also be there to hire some of the combatants.

Ok everyone sorry for the delay! Had some emergencies and then had to work and so I'm very late in posting as I had intended and promised. However, the spectating/open/public thread is now up for everyone to take part in and mingle.
And we have our match listings there and below here as well!

That is the rules and system for the tournament. Direct any questions to this account for me, and Chi Chuchi for our other judge, and we will do our best to answer them swiftly and accurately. Remember this is about the writing quality. Be sure to post your thread's link here once its made so that me and Chi Chuchi can follow them. We will determine how well written a pair of posts are if touches are attempted to determine if someone is being unreasonable. Don't always try and say you never take a hit either as that will be a big hint to us that someone's not playing fair. So be smart and reasonable about things and do your best to write out what you do so that you and your opponents know what you're saying and doing. We'll try to only step in if someone's causing a thread to drag on by being unreasonable or if people cannot determine whether they should have taken a hit or not or if they should have landed one and their opponent dodged it unreasonably. If things are still unable to be settled after we come in to help an RPJ will lay down the final law though we hope not to bother any of them.
