Hello everyone,
this is the primary organizational thread for the Marketon Summer Jousting Tournament
The event will be posted here at PlaymoFriends beginning July 18th
The previous invitation thread is Here (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=7711.0)
The rules for the event are as follows:
Match Structure
The object of the competition is to unhorse your opponent, if you manage to do this, you have won the match. If you have not managed to unhorse your opponent you get points based on the location of your hit. You continue to take passes at each other until one person has unhorsed his opponent or managed to score 3 points in total. If the match is tied at 3-3 the first person to have a higher score than his opponent wins the match. Of in some freaky way both competitors are knocked off their horse, the person who scored more points in the previous passes is declared the winner. If this also results in a tie, the competitors have to get back on their horse and go at it until one has more points.
Of course unhorsing your opponent is a celebrated way to win a match, so next to the victory you will also receive honor. However by hitting your opponent’s horse or his head you are risking injuring the horse or your fellow combatant and will result in losing some honor.
(For each pass each combatant rolls two six sided dice and adds the results, the result determines the hit)
(2) Hit Opponents Horse, 0 Points, -1 Honor
(3,4,5) Miss, 0 Points
(6,7,8) Hit Shield, 1 Point
(9) Hit Body, 2 Points
(10) Hit Head, 2 Points, -1 Honor
(11,12) Unhorse, Win, +1 Honor
Group System
The 32 competitors will be divided into 8 groups of 4. There will be 6 matches in each group after which the two competitors with the most victories will move to the single elimination rounds. If two or more competitors are tied for 2nd place the tie breakers will be as follows:
1) Honor
2) Point difference (points scores – points opponents scored)
3) Result between the combatants
Knock Out Phase
There will be 4 rounds to the knock out phase; Round of 16, Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and Finals. People that competed in the same group are only able to face each other in the finals.
Your participation
Your Knight
If you wish to have a knight in the tournament you must post in the Invitation Thread or here that you wish to participate. You will need to choose the heraldry of your knight. Whenever possible we will create an exact copy of a knight you post. If we are unable to do so we will discuss with you necessary adjustments. If you wish to have a unique heraldry you are welcome to do so. You may mail the knight directly to us, or we can attempt to create the custom here if time permits.
A chart of available heraldry will be posted below. When we have the knight in hand we will post here their official arrival portrait.
Your Die Rolls
To roll your scores you must go to this website http://www.rpglibrary.org/software/securedice/index.php
There you will need to fill in the following:
1) Where it says “Roll” you select “2” for the first drop down box and “6” for the second drop down box.
2) Then go to “Roll this set of dice” and choose “50”
3) For the “Send the signed results of this roll to yourself:” Fill in your own email address if you want to receive the rolls by email.
4) At the “and the GM:” please fill in my email address which is tiermann@animobil.info
5) Finally at the “with this subject:” please put “Jousting – <playmofriends name>” (for instance: Jousting – Gis).
6) Then click the “Roll the dice” button.
We will use these results to see in which group you will be participating as well as how your fights will go. They will not be used in this order though so the outcome will still be a surprise.
If you are willing to have some hand in the fate of your champion please do this before Monday the 27th of June. If we have not received them we will generate rolls for you at that time!

Great to see the beginnings of the tournament! :)9
I just have one thing.. :toot:
Etir's pennant is upside-down. :P
-
Wow! Great pics! You have WOT pic and Elric mixed up.
-
Ha, oops. I will reshoot with the banner right, I've swapped the pictures to the correct position
-
Looks good to me.
-
No problem, here...
Just thought I would point it out. :)
-
Excellent!!! Die roll info sent!
-
Chart updated, die rolls received from WoT and Wolf Knight
Lord Etir image fixed
-
Ok dice rolled and sent. I hope I did it ok, I got more roll down boxes than described above. :-\
-
There are two competitors with the yellow tower coat-of-arms. I will send a black banner for Sir Merriadoc. And a Wolf clan too, it's already done.
Cheers,
Arnaud
-
I LOVE Sir Jaknoi!!! I guess that's Gis' for the polar bear?' :love:
And I guess Cowabunga did it so congratz to both!
-
Thanks Arnaud
Die rolls received from Tonguello thanks
That is the actual original Sir Jaknoi and Sir Merriadoc - they flew back with me to the US from Germany. Yes it is Gis' , I think he may have done it himself
-
Thanks Arnaud

:love: :love: they are both really cute customs! and they would make really nice Pm sets. ;)

You're welcome, Tim.

@Tonguello: thanks!

Nope. I made both. But Gis chose the designs. The white bear is the official coat of arms of Greenland. I actually learnt it from Gis, I thought it was the same as Denmark...

The introductions are awesome. Sir Cecil looks ready to rock. He didn't have a squire before, but I like the guy you put with him. I believe my rolls have been sent. :wave:
-
Just sent my dice rolls. Love all the Knights!
-
I've send the rolls - Herr Josephus Gottgens will come a little later; I've made the pics and they need to be edited a little. With a little bit of luck I can put them on a little later.
Count Bogro

Ok dice rolled and sent. I hope I did it ok, I got more roll down boxes than described above. :-\
OK NOW I got right. So my first try does not count, I don't know what I did wrong (I got negative numbers :lol:)
:wave:
-
As there are two competitors from Krull do i need to roll the dice twice ?? :) :)
-
Great Mark, I've seen your knight, wonderful.
Yes George, you need to roll once for each contestant
Got it Gaston, looks fine this time.
Chart in post 1 updated
New entries:
Sir Christoph
Sir Bartholomew Hale
Sir Lawrence of Cashtown
Sir Cygnet
Sir Wolfram
The Mighty Mysterioso
That leaves us with 5 open slots now.
-
I sent two sets of dice... the participants from Krull with their heralds will be there in a couple of weeks the latest !!! :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:
-
Ok, I rolled it!
-
Hi Tim,
I've just rolled the dice for Sir Wolfram. :wave:
-
Thanks guys
Another new entry
Baron Roderick Blackthorn
-
charts updated again
-
Who owns The Mighty Mysterioso???
Is it a mystery that will be reveal during the tournament? ;D
-
Very mysterious isn't it?
-
So here is my second entry for the MJT.
His name is Alban de Fleury, "the righteous". He will travel with his squire, Simon. Don't be mistaken by his coat of arms, he's a powerful Jouster, indeed.

Very nice knight Arnaud! :wow:
-
I would like to have as many die rolls in by Sunday the 19th as possible. We are going to have the first photo session the 20th. I would be surprised if we have all of the mailed contestants here by then, so we will have to delay the opening ceremonies photos until closer to the event. So ideally I would like to start the match photos for the first rounds the 20th. Everyone who has their rolls in by then I will put into their placement in the first rounds and then do photos of the matches I can.
-
In this case i will skip taking picvs of my knights leaving krull and sent immediately once they arrive so that no delays incurre becuase of Krulls contesntants, I will sent with express delivery so they will arrive within 48 hours , i epxect to have these knight from arnaud early this week , so they should be there by end of this week, next Monday the latest !!! Please my apologies for not posting their departure from krull but as my playmoden is quite a few miles away will be kinda difficult to do this and also meet the deadlines . :wave:
-
George - there is no super rush on the klickies. We will have plenty of photos to take on the 20th. It is going to make the most sense to do the opening ceremonies in early July as a second photo session at the big diorama. There will be many photos taken in between on a smaller diorama as well.
What I am concerned about is getting the die rolls. That way I can get the contestants assigned to their places in the preliminary rounds. Once I have that there will be more than enough to do.

Dice rolls sent for Sir Sigismus and Sir Barry.
We had a major day of preliminary shooting yesterday, totalling about 7 hours of setting up and phography. Very hot with all the studio lights (standard lamps, about 600 Watts all told), even with windows open and ceiling fans running. The main set is staying up while Tim does the individual jousts and background stuff in his smaller studio, then we return to the big diorama for some final shots for the late entrants.
I'll have a couple of small background photostories to add too.
-
Sounds wicked awesome Martin. Big thanks to you and Tim for sweatin' it out to make a cool tourny. :wave:
-
It was a lot of fun really. A big thank you to Arnaud as well for his help with the banner project as well. Now that I have the first 450 pictures out of the way just a thousand or so more to go :D
The chart in the first post has been updated.
This is the last chance for anyone new to join the event. We will be filling in the last two spots with returning knights from Winterhaven in the next couple of days if we don't hear from anyone.

Good luck to all the competitors!

Just don't ship them with any Krull Ale or there's no telling what kind of shape they will arrive in.
-
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Knights sent this morning with express delivery post , shoudl be there by end of this week ...
' King Iseroth orderded the despatch of a couple of dozens of barrels full of Krull's ale with Monk Zabizarius ( a drunken monk) a present to the jousting event from the far lands of Krull.....' Monk Zabizarius probably drunk half a barrel on the way to the event nevertheless will deliver the Ale...... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Tim!
Do you need a template for Ras' knight's shield, I haven't seen his introduction picture? (Since I have the banner design... ;))
A.

We're good for everything at this point (except for George's knights yet)
I haven't posted any more intro pictures as the set I was using is torn down while I am doing the joust segment. I will do some either when I finish the battle parts or I get to Martin's and the larger dio. This will be a 3 day holiday weekend for me, so I hope to get a good deal of it all done. We're getting close to a third of the way through photography at this point, so things are looking good for posting on schedule.
The planned schedule is:
July 16 - Pre-Game show
July 17 - Grand March and Opening ceremonies
July 18 - Group rounds 1
July 19 - Group rounds 2
July 20 - Group rounds 3
July 21 - Bracket of 16

I love those pictures, Tim!
First, I'm glad you managed to make a horse coat for the three boar heads knight. Though, are you sure about the name? I reckon it was a different name when I made the banner...AND, the knight doesn't look like my memory of Sir Seamus Flynn. 8}
Second, where did you get that white feather on Sir Alexander of Korent's helmet??? Tell me, please! I want some sooooo much! Are they from DS?
Third, I think Angelo will be surprised to see sir Odysseus' horse coat in Oregon but, he's the Lord of IthAca not IthIca. ::)
Best,
Arnaud

Second, where did you get that white feather on Sir Alexander of Korent's helmet??? Tell me, please! I want some sooooo much! Are they from DS?
Took me a bit to figure out. It must be from one of the old color series sets. It's not recent that I am aware.
-
this white feather can also be found in 4542 - Ruffian Redcoat (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4542)

this white feather can also be found in 4542 - Ruffian Redcoat (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4542)
Awww the 4542 what a great classic klikcy this is . one of the best looking classic klickies i reckon, beatiful torso color and detailing !!!

this white feather can also be found in 4542 - Ruffian Redcoat (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4542)
This white feather can onlybe found in 4542 - Ruffian Redcoat (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4542)
