Conceited
Tournament of Acolytes
~
The Tournament of Acolytes is competition between the Sith Acolytes where they will compete against one another to claim supremacy as the top students in the One Sith."Through passion, I gain strength."
Those competing in the tournament will be judged on their skill with the Lightsaber, the Force and the dominance they show over their opponent. They will also be judged on their knowledge and practice of the dark side and the tenants taught to them by their Sith Masters. Those competing should do whatever and anything they can to win their duel, taking them to the darkest recesses of their mind.This is battle and a fight to the death.

"Through strength, I gain power."
The Beginning; Every competitor will be gathered in the bowels of the Sith Temple, where the setting will be made. Here, the Sith Lord Darth Ayra (this is me) will announce the first duels that will take place and the rules she has imposed on every competitor in the tournament.
This also gives the chance for other, more superior Sith, such as Sith Knights and Sith Lords, to come and spectate the opening of the tournament and the duels that will be taking place in it.
The Duels; Every competitor will face each competitor in the tournament. At the end of the tournament, there will be a wins to loss ratio calculated for how many duels you won and lost in the tournament. There will be no draws, as Sith do not draw. They either win or lose.
Sith only deal in absolutes.
Every duel will take place in an alternate thread from each other and will be done at the same time OOC. However, the IC setting for the tournament will be that each duel will be done in front of the other competitors and spectators watching. This is to keep the feel that this is a tournament.
At the end of every duel, I will make a decision on who won, based on the critera that I am expecting from each competitor. The limit for every duel will be 30 posts. By the 30th post, I will ask each competitor OOC via PM if they wish to continue, based on whether or not I think the duel has been clearly won or is at a stalemate. I will then give an additional ten posts for you to finish. In the event that by the 40th vote there is no clear winner, I.E both competitors are still on their feet, then I will make a decision on who won by looking at the overall duel.
Reat assured that I will be a fair judge of each duels by the 30th, or the occasional, 40th post. I have made a limit of 30-40 posts because I do not want the tournament to be slowed. By the time two competitors have finished their duel in another thread, then we might all be waiting for another to finish. Some duels can take up to several weeks or months to finish, so the 30-40 post cap means that the tournament can go at a fast and steady pace.
Each person competing are reminded that I will give a win to their opponent if I believe they're taking too long to post or if their OOC situation is stopping them from posting. If you cannot compete in the tournament anymore, then please PM me and I will remove you from it.
"Through power, I gain victory."
The Ceremony; When each competitor has faced off the other and the wins to loss ratio has been calculated for each person, then a ceremony will be held at the end where I will announce the each ratio calculated.
In the event that two or more competitors have the same wins to loss ratio, then there will be a final duel held at the ceremony to determine who will win first place and the prize that comes with it. The same 30-40 limit will be introduced and extension will be added until there is a definative winner.
By the end of the ceremony, there will be a Sith Acolyte who holds ultimate supremacy over his peers, having shown his or her strength and power over them. He or she will then be rewarded the prize that I will have developed for them by the time the tournament is over. The prize will be revealed at the ceremony.

- The tournament will not finish until each competitor has faced the other.
- Each competitor will fight to either win or lose. There will be no draws.
- Each thread will have a 30 post limit. By the end of the 30 posts, a winner and a loser will be determined.
- In the event that by 30 posts there is an unclear winner, then an extra ten will be allowed. Each side will then compete until 40 posts have been completed.
- By the end of the 40th post there will be no more extensions. I will then decide who won and who lost the duel, based on what happened or if someone was defeated by the 40th post.
- When I say 30 posts, I mean the overall number of posts. This means that each thread will reach up to 30 overall posts or 40. This means that competitors will have 15 posts in the thread to defeat their opponent or 20 depending on whether an extension was rewarded.
- Competitors will not be allowed to enter each others thread if I did not pair them up. This means you cannot help Person A defeat Person B because you want Person A to win.
- Competitors cannot kill their opponent. This is against SWRP:Chaos rules.
- Competitors are advised to contact me in the event that there is an issue in the thread and both people cannot come up with asolution by themselves. I will then decide what happened. My word is final.
- If competitors do not trust my word or judgement, then they can seek out a real RPJ. I suggest against this, as they have enough on their plate and it will slow the thread and tournament down for everyone else.
Sign ups are now closed. The gathering thread will be up in an hour or so from this post. Good luck.

The hooded figure that was Darth Ayra stood at the steps of the Sith Temple, hands within the sleeves of her robe. She wore a Sith robe that concealed her facial features, Lightsaber and garments underneath, save for her yellow eyes that gleamed beneath the robes cowl. The Tournament of Acolytes was beginning today, a chance to evaluate the progress of the Sith Acolytes among the One Sith. To see who was ready to become a Sith Knight and who would require further depth in the dark side of the Force.
It was night time on Coruscant. By morning, there would be a new champion among the Sith. The strongest and most powerful of the Sith Acolytes would be selected through the hardship of battle, where Lightsabers would clash; and their wit, cunning and knowledge on the dark side would be tested against one another. It was an age old discipline of the Sith to promote internal strife among their students. The weak would be culled, subjugated and crushed. The strong would purge, dominate and destroy.
Wind rippled along the robes of the Sith Lord as she waited for the Sith to arrive and compete. Blood would be shed today. Victories would be won and lost. Weakness would be culled. Strength would be ascertain.
The Tournament of Acolytes was about to begin.
