PROLOGUEIn most worlds, reality is law. In Eidolon, it is a negotiation.Eidolon is a labyrinthine city suspended in a void of shattered realities. Gods walk its obsidian streets alongside demons, devils, and ghosts. The architecture itself is alive, shifting and groaning as the malleable fabric of reality bends to the whims of the cosmos. It is a place of breathtaking, terrifying beauty. But do not let the spectacle fool you. In the shadows of its twisting alleys and floating spires, nameless horrors lurk, waiting for a moment of weakness.The city’s chaotic nature is governed by one absolute, unbreakable law: The Succession.Through rites older than time, great heroes and villains are summoned from their respective dimensions. For the next several weeks, these interdimensional champions will be pitted against one another in a series of grueling Games. Only one champion will be crowned the Monarch of Eidolon.To the victor goes absolute rule over the city for one year. They will be granted wealth, power, and authority that border on the divine.When the year has passed, the Monarch’s reign will end. The crown will be stripped and their memories of the city, their reign, and their fellow competitors will be entirely wiped from their mind. They will be dumped back into their original dimension, returning to their life as if they had never left.The gates of the Amphitheater are opening. The summons have been sent...

RULESIn this thread, you will play as an interdimensional Judge.- You must namefag to participate. This is strictly enforced. - QMs are welcome to join, but they cannot vote for their own characters or discuss their own quests, except during designated special rounds. For transparency, QMs must use their QM name/tripcode when participating. - Do not bash or harass QMs. This thread is meant to celebrate the /qst/ board and its QMs, not to publicly execute them. Keep it positive. - Do not reply to the QM's posts unless explicitly asked to do so. This keeps the thread clean and manageable. Violating this rule will result in immediate removal as a Judge. - As a Judge, you may contest any of the QM's rules. Doing so requires submitting a well-reasoned argument. The QM will evaluate the validity of your argument using logic and a die roll. - If a rule is unclear, do not ask the QM for clarification. Instead, write out your own interpretation or deduction. The QM will evaluate the validity of your interpretation using logic and a die roll. - Contestations and interpretations may be veto'd by other Judges if they provide a valid counter-argument.

NOMINATIONSNominations begin immediately in this thread. Reply to this post with one quest character you wish to nominate.- We need to elect exactly 16 nominees. If the thread gains unexpected popularity and exceeds 16 nominations, we will hold a brutal elimination round. - The nominee must be a humanoid, with a height between 3 and 8 feet. Elves, goblins, and talking monkeys are acceptable. - The nominee cannot be a god or demigod. - The nominee must originate from a /QST/ quest. It must be either a multi thread quest or a one-shot where the QM did not flake. - The nominee must be an Original Character in either an original setting or an established TTRPG campaign setting. Forgotten Realms is fine. Franchises such as Pokemon or Game of Thrones are not allowed. - QMs: If one of your characters is nominated, you may provide a short description.

Hey guys never played in one of these >As a Judge, you may contest any of the QM's rules. Doing so requires submitting a well-reasoned argument.

The QM will evaluate the validity of your interpretation using logic and a die roll. Is this normal^^ because it makes no sense to me. Also why for id us from nominating Mark Delucia?

Rules are way too strict, especially for nominations. Registration is too weird.This tournament is going to be stillborn, but it would've been anyway since there doesn't seem to be any incentives to participate besides trying to one up other quests/ powerscale (Which goes against your "Celebrate /QST/" Aim, but so does the Nomination rules restricting a huge chunk of currently running and popular quests, for some reason), since there isn't any art being offered or made, unlike the last few tournaments. Especially because>Contestations and interpretations may be veto'd by other Judges if they provide a valid counter-argument.Is going to create endless shit-flinging if this somehow gets off the groundThis seems much more "in the moment" than the prior tournaments, which actually had planning and pools to fund art of the contestants/ winners behind them.

I have to agree with the idea that the rulset seems really weird and autistic.Anyway, I doubt that any of my characters would get nominated if I didn't do it myself, so it's a whatever.

>If a rule is unclear, do not ask the QM for clarification. Instead, write out your own interpretation or deduction. The QM will evaluate the validity of your interpretation using logic and a die roll.This is the most retarded shit I’ve ever seen. Why can’t you answer questions like a normal person? What’s the point of competing in a tournament when the spirit rules are unclear and can be changed on a coinflip?I wouldn’t want you as my QM. What quest have you ran, anyway? I noticed you didn’t answer that question back in qtg.
