(D8, MM) Grappling with Love (Event)

Post by Saibankan » Sun Aug 22, 2021 8:00 am

Shika Zang is smiling quite broadly as the candidates assemble once more in the dojo. In the middle of the dojo, a sumai ring has been drawn and blessed by the local priests with salt.

"So! Time for a more hands on approach!" Zang jokes. "There is a certain intimate nature of unarmed combat. Nothing but two warriors and the strength found within their own hands pitted against one another. Indeed, when passions collide one often finds a deeper understanding of their foe. So, let's see how well you sumai!"

Rules:

Make a thread in the dojo for you and your opponent and link it here. You will engage in a best 5 falls match. It should be noted that this is not considered a skirmish for any purpose including approach bonuses. Each opponent will roll Martial Arts (Unarmed), once for each of the five elements, Lowest Honor gets to choose the order of the elements (Tie in Honor broken by highest status) Having more total successes on an approach than an opponent indicates that you managed to throw them that time. If the number of successes on an approach is the same, in that particular instance neither was able to get the upper hand, neither win that throw.

Scoring priority:

Most number of throws
Most total opportunities used to show off.
Most opportunities used to show off on a single roll.
Highest Status
Highest Glory
Highest Honor
Non-Human * Gamemaster * Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy * Mastermind
