YIRAAS Annual Tournament

Full and Techno members ONLY

This page will be getting edited closer to the time when this event reoccurs

This is held every year in all countries where there are an adequate number of full and techno members over a weekend.

RP instructions
These are, obviously, the instructions as to how a conest will be RPed :) They are not neccesarily applicable if all the chars belong to the one person. If all the owned chars belong to the one person, but there are some public chars signed up, the owner gets first chance to use these chars for the contest. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Kinetic Shooting Gallery

Only kinetics may compete.
Similar to a shooting gallery, there will be a string of moving objects moving across the firing ground. Like a shooting gallery, each entrant must try to shoot the objects by using their power. For example, a telekinetic would knock them over, a pyrokinetic would set them alight, so on and so forth. There will be three 'strings', all liable to change direction without notice, and they gain speed as the game progresses.

RP Instrcutions
Firstly, you MUST consider your char's experience with their power. Generally, the older a char, the more experienced, although, some younger chars are capable of surpassing this, if they are sufficiently talented and/or the elder is rather lazy when it comes to practicing. Thus you must decide whether it is more likely yor char will hit a low amount, and average amount or a high amount of targets. There are 250 targets. Please pick a random number (like pulling numbers out of a hat) out of the following options: Low - 120. Medium - 100 to 200. High - 180 to 250. Obviously you wouldn't want to write all the numbers between 100 to 200 inclusive on idividual pieces of paper, but perhaps try putting "0", "1" and "2" into one hat, and the numbers 0 to 9 in another. IE, the first hat you pick "1", second hat you pick "6", third hat pick "3", thus 163.

Conjuring

Only atom manipulation masters
To make something out of thin air in the given time alloted

RP Instructions
Give a graphic description of your object. An unbiased judge (we hope) will chose which of these descriptions wins. So make them good :)

Speed shape shifting/morphing

Only shape shifters and morphers
Think of running races, but instead of the 100m, 200m 300m etc, you have the 1 shape, 2 shape, 3 shape (i.e. shape shift/morph into 1 thing, 2 things, 3 things... etc). Also, in the process of each of the races a award is given to the person who shape shifted/morphed into the largest shape, as larger shapes generally take more effort to shape shift into.

RP Instructions
Again experience is something to be considered here. Write a description on how your char (and only your char) is faring. Try to avoid observations of what the others are doing - concentrate solely on how your char is shape shifting/morphing. The deciding factor will be a judge (who may or may not ask for help from those who also do not have chars involved) who will use your descriptions to determine the winner.

Shapeshifter Sculptures

Open entry to all aged/skilled shape shifters.
A shape shifter must work together with a partner (must NOT be another shape shifter - all other powers are exceptable, but no humans can enter) to present a sculpture or piece of art.
The partner directs the shape shifter into whatever shape the sculpture may take, and orders the colouring/etc. of the piece. The shape shifter may help plan the piece before the tournament, but must not speak or move unless told by their partner during the tournament.

RP Instructions
A description is written of the chars piece. Winner is determined by which description the judge deems most spectacular.

Mass Destruction

There is an object in the playing field. Each enterant destroys it in any way they wish. Awards are given out for thinsg like "most creative", "most effective", etc.

RP Instructions
A description is written of the chars destruction attempt. Winners are determined by judge/s.

Loudest scream

Sonics powers only
Entrant is put in sound proof room with appropriate measuring equipment. Have two chances to produce the 'loudest' scream (sonics, sub and super).

RP Instructions
When all else fails, judge will simply pick a name out of a hat to determine winner.

Coloured people

Light manipulation powers only
Enterants are dressed in either white or black only. At time of buzzer have five minutes to produce as many colours on their person as possible.

RP Instructions
Part description, part 'draw a name out of a hat', will determine winner. Up to judge's discresion.

Creation Masters

Each enterant creates something with their powers over the course of the weekend. The judging takes place at a certain time in the afternoon on the third day. It is either something they make or something they can do with their powers.

RP Instructions
A description is written of the chars piece. Winner is determined by which description the judge deems most spectacular.

Dream Impressions

Dreamwalkers only
Judges go to sleep, and each enterant goes into each judges dreams and 'plays around'. Whoever makes the biggest impression on the judges when they awaken is the winner.

RP Instructions
A description is written of what the chars do in the 'judge's' dreams. Winner is determined by which description the judge deems most spectacular.

Extremes

Temp Manipulators, Pyrokinetics, Ice Masters, etc.
The entrants are either presented with, or bring their own (which could be an excuse for cheating =oP) piece of metal for the contest. They have to use their power to make the metal either completely freeze until the closest point before shattering, or heat up to the closest point before melting.

RP Instructions
Part description, part 'draw a name out of a hat', will determine winner. Up to judge's discresion.

Presicion

Temp manipulators, Light, and other powers capable of presise, fine burning
Think archery. Targets are set up, and each enterant has three 'shots'. That is, someone with Light would burn a spot with a laser on the target, preferably the bullseye. Naturally the targets are put far enough away for this to be just as challenging as real archery is.

RP Instructions
Write a description depicting what your char does. To determine where he/she hits, draw two locations of out a 'hat'. Locations are: 3 x 'outer ring', 2 x 'inner ring' and 1 x bullseye. Consider you char's experience. If low, add in extra 'outer ring'. If medium, extra 'inner ring'. If high, extra 'bullseye'.

Areobatics

Fliers only.
Enterants are given a couple of minutes to perform ariel stunts, etc.

RP Instructions
Write a description depicting what your char does. Winner is determined by which description the judge deems most spectacular.

Speed flying

Fliers only.
Think of running races.

RP Instructions
Again experience is something to be considered here. Write a description on how your char (and only your char) is faring. Try to avoid observations of what the others are doing - concentrate solely on how your char is doing. The deciding factor will be a judge (who may or may not ask for help from those who also do not have chars involved) who will use your descriptions to determine the winner.

Awards are:
The winner/s of each of the above contests
Tournament Champion - the one who won the most contests
Tournament Goofball - the one who lost miserably, but in the funniest ways

Footnote...

When the tourament starts, certain awards will need a judge - the judge (or judges) will be someone who DOES NOT have a char paticipating. The only exception to this is when the only chars participating in a contest all belong to the on person, in which case that person made decide who wins, on the condition he/she take into account that there would be other 'contestants'.
