The Wyld Hunt!

Post by DUEL Sylus »

The Wyld Hunt has come to the Arena!

This is a early registration event for March Madness. Entrants that sign up will be divided into Hunters and Hunted. Hunting horns will sound throughout the city to commence the start of the competition and its end. When all is done, the survivor still standing will be declared Lord of the Wyld Hunt and will receive a Bramble Crown as symbol of their station.

The Bramble Crown allows the wearer #1 Seed in their Madness Division, ( and 1 bonus fancy usable against Warlord and above usable only during the Madness competition).

The Hunters will be allowed to use any offensive move twice in a row, once per duel. Any thrust, high cut, low cut, or slash.

The Hunted can use any defensive measure twice in a row, twice per duel. Any parry, side-step, StopHit or duck. This is due to the 1/2 point nature of many defensive actions.

Disengage is already unlimited in number of uses, so remains unchanged.

To repeat and simplify,
Hunters, 1 time per duel, may repeat any offensive move.
Hunted: 2 times per duel, may repeat any defensive move

Here is the twist.
Anyone on the winning team to have fought in a duel (win or lose) receives a bonus win on their record when it's over. The top point earner for the winning team receives the Bramble crown. 1 duel (win or lose) = 1 point.

Further, there will be 3 specialty nights.

Thursday Feb 9th: Hunter twin win night. (Losses still only count as 1 loss. Wins are doubled)
Thursday Feb 16th: Hunted twin win (Losses still only count as 1 loss. Wins are doubled)
Thursday Feb 23rd: No loss required. (Not a single loss will be counted on the standings)

Registration for the Hunt Will begin Thursday February 2nd and run through Wednesday February 8th.

February 9, both groups will be announced with the sounding of the horns. Sylus will open the Arena at 11 p.m. (EST) and host duels until 3 a.m. every Thursday thereafter. Should a caller be willing to come in at 9, they are welcomed to do so. The Hunt will run through the rest of the month of February.

The Wyld Hunt is part of regulation and it’s battles will reflect on the standings. Caller’s are not expected to notate these duels but may if it assists them. The Hunted and the Hunters will know who each other are. The adjusted movement allowances only work against members of the opposing group.

With a general lack of interest expressed in the event, DoS staff is cancelling the Wyld Hunt to hopefully hold it at a later date when it may be of more interest. However, I will still be opening the Arena Thursdays at 11 p.m. (EST).
