The Catacombs Coliseum is in dire need of a little blood and a few bodies. So that is why Kimee “Snack Attack†Frostshackle and Marianna “The Bull†Bisen have joined together to form an unstoppable, crushing tag-team. They organize paperwork! They collate! They cut through red tape like its butter!
And in the end, they have come up with the First Annual Catacomb Carnagium Grand Prix Delux. More ballsy then the Battle of Bunker Hill. More thrilling then Manilla. And definitely more electrifying then a kite, the First Annual CCGPD-X is here. It is here to chill. Here to terrify. Here to excite and here to explode. And now it's here for you to enjoy.
The event is designed for some evil combat-oriented shenanigans. Contestants enter in for the chance to win a fabulous prize. Untold, the reward has been promised to be an item that ‘all denizens of the Catacombs' shall covet.
Yet the fun doesn't have to end outside of the arena. Between the fights combatants are encouraged to demonstrate good ol' fashioned Catacombs pride by poisoning, tricking, beating and otherwise sabotaging the competition. Rules have been relaxed. Regulations untangled. This is a one day chance to enjoy a little bit of evil RP.
So even if you don't fight, come along. You can watch the fights, place bets, socialize, practice your craft…And perhaps play witness to the madness. After all, the event was not simply organized just to provide a little fun for the Catacomb goers. The organizers seem to have ulterior motives. Only time will show what they really have up their sleeve for this little get-together…
The event will be held on Saturday, January the 22nd and will last from 11:00 P.M Forum Time to 18:00 P.M Forum Time.
(Use http://www.worldtimezone.com/ to match this with your own time-zone.)
The event is broken into three main phases. Between each phase will be minor distractions, frivolities and amusements for the crowd.
Failure to follow these rules will result in you being captured by a Cabal Agent and thrown into a cage. You will subsequently be sold as a slave. If you are not purchased IC you will be considered a Catacombs Subject, which carries with it insta-death.
Crime doesn't pay during the event.
Players and guilds need to fill out the below forms to sign up. To apply, fill the applicable form out and post it in a reply to this thread. Spots are limited, and the organizers retain the right to turn applicants away.
NOTE: Only Neutral or Evil characters/guilds may apply for this tournament. No 'Good' groups or individuals are, were or ever shall be allowed into the Catacombs. Pirates, Mercenaries, Cults and the like are welcomed. Holy Orders and Demon Hunting groups are not.
There will be IC checks on all tournament goers to determine if they are enemies of the Catacombs. If your character is of a good alignment (Demon Hunter, Paladin, Holy Priest, Etc. Etc) then do not apply. You will be turned away OOC and killed on site IC.

CARNAGE IN THE CATACOMBS
To fight aloud is very brave,
But really is quite foolish.
Who charges into the field of battle,
is a dolt, through and through.
Who win, I don't give a damn.
Who fall, I always laugh.
Whose dying eyes see sorrow
And dying breath a swear.
But roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Now put on your armor,
You're up next.
–Definitely Not Emily Dickinson

PROGRAM
The event will be held on Saturday, January the 22nd and will last from 11:00 P.M Forum Time to 18:00 P.M Forum Time.
(Use http://www.worldtimezone.com/ to match this with your own time-zone.)
The event is broken into three main phases. Between each phase will be minor distractions, frivolities and amusements for the crowd.
- Phase One:The Free-For-All begins at 11:00 PM Forum Time.
The Free-For-All is a standard tournament, with all entrants competing in a standard bracket. Fights will be one versus one, with the winner declared after their opponent has been knocked out. The top three victors will move on to the finals.
- Phase Two: The Guild Wars begins at 14:00 PM Forum Time.
Guild Wars is a little twist to the standard tournament. Each invited guild will assemble a team of three ‘guild champions'. These teams of three fighters will spar off against other guild teams in a bracket-style tournament. The top team will go on to the Finals.
- Phase Three: The Finals begins at 16:00 PM Forum Time.
The Finals will be the culmination of the tournament. The three victors from Phase One will be assembled into a team to face the victorious team from Phase Two. The two teams will be forced to fight against each other against an unknown foe. Whomever survives the challenge will be declared the victorious party.
