Boonta Events
Every few months on SWRP, I normally fire up some sort of pit-fighting, swoop racing or gambling competition so I thought, as a way of spicing that up this TL, I would do some sort of 'tracker of events' around one central 'entity', and so I give you all, the Boonta Events Group. Focused on three areas of business Pit Fights (in which a contestant or contestants face off against one another, or exotic beasts), Gambling (In which games of Sabaac or Pazaak are played) and finally Swoop Racing (in which we run around in fast speeders).
Each of the 'three business groups' will focus on one annual tournament, in which players can join the main track, which will mean they sign up to go through each and every round of the tournament for the hopes of becoming the overall winner, or the side track in which they join only a one-off event for credits and/or glory.
Smashdown!
The Smashdown series is one of the most violent bloodsports in the Galaxy and is currently illegal on many of the more 'civilised worlds' in the Galaxy. Each round of the Tournament consists of two combatants being paired off against each other, and then given a set of gear - be it exotic weapons, or basic clubs - often without armour. The last sentient standing, wins. Those with force abilities, of naturally occurring skills (such as regeneration), will be drugged so as to appear handicapped.
As this is a tournament, it will be open to the Main Track contestants, who must sign up by January 26th 2018, and in doing so agree to see the tournament through to their elimination, or its conclusion. Side Track players may apply when the rounds go up and will be paired off with other Side Track players.
Round One will start on January 27th 2018 with sign ups running from the TLs start until the 26th.
Round Two will start on February 24th 2018 with side track sign-ups open from the tournaments start date until the start of the round.
From this point, all rounds will commence on the last Saturday of the month and a 24 hour posting cycle will be in effect in all main track threads.
The prize, for the sidetrack events, will be credits.
The overall winner of the tournaments main track will be subject to admin approval, but I will be suggesting a shed load of credits, and fame for the winner.
I may implement a points system, or do a simple elimination based system depending on how long people want this season to run.
Each round will come with a gambling thread, so that players may not only spectate the arena, but also place money on the desired outcome. Yes - this does mean some players can rig it, and cause a sensational bet fixing story arc to spin off from this if they would like to.
Well then, that is 'part one' of a three stream gambling, fighting and racing series. I'll have more on the other two parts of this before the 22nd, but until then - let me know whatya think!
