Lurian Empire

[Heq]

Do they get old HHH entrance music?

[Chenier]

What about tournaments that have a foreign winner? What if there are times when tournaments aren't affordable, or we're in the middle of a war and the champions are abroad?

Put an entrance fee and no reward gold, plus the shortest delay possible. No foreigners will want to come, and most won't be able to either.

My character would still join and win the tournament for the glory of the blood stars!  8)

Zakilevo,   Who do you play on Dwilight?  I think you are as fanatical about SA as I am.

[De-Legro]

How short a time can you place on the Tournament starting? Would it be possible to set it so low that only nobles within Luria would have the time to travel to the grounds to partake?

I play Kihalin on Dwilight. I am a bit depressed with only get second places for past three tournaments even with over 75%! I lost to someone with 45% in the final.. I try to make my character worship the maddening :) (You could have just pressed my name to check the family page)

3 days I *think*, which, considering Dwi travel times, is *very* restrictive.

Others might be able to make it, but if the admission fee is 100 gold and there is no reward, would they? If they do, free gold for yourself.

We have just found a way to finance ourselves...  8)

Actually, indeed. My next tournament will have a much smaller prize and a much larger admission fee. The less people there are, the more the odds of winning are: there will always be some ready to take the gamble.

What?! How much smaller?

Depending on the private sponsors.

But I can't host two tournaments in a row, and TMP kinda got rid of my tournament grounds. So sorry, no ETA on that, but it ain't any time soon.

What better reason for the current Emperor to "suspend the Royal Games temporarily" in the "name of an Imperial Crisis" promising to hold them "as soon as possible for the good of the Empire."

The power grabs, politics, and under cutting possible in such a system almost make ya wanna salivate.

[Shizzle]

How about Challengers, instead of having regular duels? Of course only Kings can Challenge their peers :) It would make the Emperor watch his strength all the time:) Of cours esome sort of limit should be provided.

No Champions.

Must be the Emperor to be who fights not someone else!

Champions were used a lot in the days, I think they should be an option. After all, it might put some ideas in the champion's head after a few times of winning for someone else. ;)
