[DerpyMcPandos]

Tarson hears ya'.  He sees the vim and vigor you all bear, the excitement at the ringside.  Y'all'ns need somewhere to beat the tar out of each other 'til you're friends, and then keep striking.

Well, look no further.  The Badlands welcomes all you fighters. Users of blade, axe, bow, gun, fist... All will find a place!
We're scaling things up juuust a lil' bit.  From now on, all y'all'ns can stroll on down, give your name and some info to Tarson, and become part of our newly unveiled Badlands Arena Leaderboards.

The Leaderboards are a system designed to foster y'all'ns getting together and clashing in much the way we do in tournaments.  All the rules that apply at Badlands tournaments, apply here. That means I' dun wanna hear about any 'yall abusing the White Lady's Light.  If'n ye wanna organize a match, look yer match partner up on the leaderboards, and point him out, and we'll send a message from you to him ASAP to get them to come see ya.

Ya get one "Victory point" if'n ya lose a match, and ya get two if ya win it.  Here's the catch:  Each fighter pairing can only fight one match per season.  So make sure ya fight against lots of different people!

At tha end of tha season, y'all'ns'll've'n'a receive a reward based on how many Victory points ya earned.  In addition?  The top eight'll get somethin special, so look forward ta that.

That about covers it.  Come on down to the Badlands and fight, fight, fight!

OOC notes: Once you're registered by adding your name to the list, you can contact anyone registered here on the forum, asking to get a match with them. ICly, you'll be paging them through the Badlands Arena for these services. You can fight any other registered fighter

In each self-regulated match, healing potions will be limited to:

• One PR-Hi or one PR-Regenerative per match per person. Stabilizers, Regeneratives, Hi-Potions, and PR-Stabilizers are banned. This includes potions granted by class features. Other item belt items are fair game(unless noted below.)
  

In each self-regulated match, the following healing abilities are prohibited:

• All Mercana (Graft, Malmelo, Phoenix, Second Chance, Healing Discharge, Water Dragon (Used for healing), Refreshing flow AND the Mend/Miracle staves. Non-healing staves are allowed
  
• Ki Healing (aid, meditation)
  
• Nature Healing (Gentle garden, cherry blossom)
  
• Void Healing of any kind that is recognised as such
  

Furthermore, 'assassination' rules are in effect. This means that if all PLAYERS are eliminated on a side, the win goes to the other. This is to account for summons such as youkai and engineer bots, which can continue fighting after their controller dies.

Matches must be held in normal, not stylish. In order for a match to qualify, all of these rules must be followed, and both participating players must report results to a participating event runner, alongside two logs- A separated battle chat log, and RP log spanning the time of the match. Reporting this does not have to happen in game, and can instead be done by forwarding the information to one of the participating runners.

Should a player refuse to submit results after a match, attempt to falsify or change the results of a match or otherwise disregard or the rules, they will be disqualified.

In order to register, leave a method of contact in this forum post, and what characters you're entering with. For each character, leave a short bio, as shown. if you have more than one character in the top spots, you will only receive the bonus rewards for being in the top eight once. Note, you can only have ONE character per division, and each registered character can only fight another registered fighter ONCE. However, the same character can appear in multiple divisions.

For the month of June, 2021, there will be TWO divisions that players can sign up for!

A singles division and a doubles division!

The Singles division is as simple as, two fighters stand off in a 1v1 and test their mettle!
The Doubles division requires you to grab an ally and square off against other pairs in 2v2's.

Remember, you can have these fights any time you want within the month without needing an event runner or GM to supervise, but you can only fight each other registered combatant once and have to send in the results and logs to a participating eventmin to have your Points tallied.

Leave your signups here (and make sure to leave contact info if you want fights)
