Introducing The Hemlock-Rejkva Grand Tournament
To all Sky Lords and Brave souls!
Today marks the 75th year since the joining of the Houses of Hemlock and Rejkva! 75 years of peace, prosperity and progress!
T’was not so long ago that the first grand wedding festival took place. Although a generation may have passed, Lord Valebjorn Hemlock-Rejkva now annually honors his father and mother's Great joining with a grand tournament of dangerous displays.
The modern airships have reached the heights of mountains, the aerial display of dashing pilots combined with feared and famous gunning experts; the genius minds of the world greatest engineers, are sure to create a wonderful contest of grit and passion!
In the icy Fjordlands a man’s cold exterior wraps a heart of burning pride and ambition, fuel that burning need to be the best, join the games, fight for the glory of your House, your company or fight for your own banner!
The Grand Tournament of House Hemlock-Rejkva requires the participation of three ships per entered name. To the victor GLORY! To the loser, the limping walk back home.
Do you have the passion, the desire for power, for glory? Then travel to the great Fjordlands and fight for the Honor of House Hemlock and House Rejkva. This year is bound to be the best games there have ever been!
Our Great Lord ValeBborn Hemlock-Rejkva urges every participant to come in peace, as history has proven that no feud is too strong to carry on in these hopeless times.

Can I say this is the saddest someone could ever be about going to Italy? I will not be there to enjoy this! The Falconeers will bring in a team though have no doubt!

Think you mean June 30th, not July 30th for the closing day.

July 5th? That's a Friday.... 4pm est is still pretty much worktime for most of the country, especially if you're on the western side of the US :-\

Well I mean yeah, I said Friday would be fine too, but I thought that it wouldn't be in the, yanno, middle of the day...
Whatever, just disappointing, I have a feeling it'll hurt attendance is all.
-
I would think a good percentage of people will be off on the day after 4th of July, but maybe not.
-
In retail, in America? Good luck.

Unicode private use area... You shouldn't use that, as people without whatever specific font you're using won't see it, whatever it was meant to be.

when do west coast get off work?
-
West coast is 3 hrs behind est, so 4est is 1pm for them.

I work in a public sector, we get the 4th off, but not the 5th. I have a feeling lot of people in my office will be taking the 5th off as a vacation day, but doesn't mean that in general the 5th will be a holiday.

I mean, 4pm EST is 1pm PST. Considering most get off work at 4-5 pm....
-
7-8pm EST would be very bad for EU, I'm confident that im not able to stay awake that late myself.
-
Then change the day. Make it on a Sunday if 4 PM is the only time that works. I understand that we voted for Friday, but the exact time changes things a lot.
That being said, I'd be able to make it at 4 without a problem. But that's just me.
-
Well I think it was kinda assumed a lot of people would have the 5th off due to the 4th holiday, but I really don't see it. Currently I'd have to take off to make this. Sure I can do that, but 12 people + alts? Ehhhhhhh

Problem with Sun, is that it's someone's Mon.... in the end. someone misses out

Very true, but we have to find whichever date and time excludes the least number of people.

if enough teams sign up we will go through with it.
If not enough teams sign up it will be changed.

That is the hardest thing to do Sunderland :P
I mean you kind of have to chose which nations you're going to Screw over when doing tournaments and it's pretty unfortunate. See what we need is for everyone to go out and force their friends to play this game on penalty of shock therapy so we can get US, EU, and Asia divisions running.

Sounds like a good enough plan.

Hey guys I am not in a clan or team, but would love to play in this tournament.
are there any teams I could play for? I'm a level 5 engie and level 3 gunner and pilot.
Thanks Leedog
-
LeeDog, if you can repair like a madman, follow the enlightened directions of someone named Bubbles, or shoot the lumberjack, hwacha, or merc with deadly accuracy, then Museosaurs want you!
-
:D I can be repair like a sane-man and shoot the lumber or hwacha or merc with varying degrees of accuracy.
I'm probably best with merc or hwacha but I would love to fly with you.
-
And for Museosaurs, don't be surprised to see Xemko, or a few other hired guns... Hehehe.

Time to rename my Junker! Dammit guys, you stole it from me :P
On the plus side, we'll get to see the casters try to pronounce that :D
-
Done. Got our tentative 12. However! If anyone who can shoot projectile weapons with deadly aim is interested in participating in the 3v3 tournament, Museosaurs are always in search for talent.
Stop that AI Besty, you're not playing... Go crew on someone else's team!
Sorry, I blacked out for a moment, bad flashbacks...

Just speaking on behalf of the Falcos here. We would love to sign up, but a lot of our people are going to be out of town on the 5th, so we would like the date to be changed.

If 4 teams sign up, we are going to play the tournament.
Trying find a day for all is going to be hard.
But I'm just saying that if you don't sign up then you might miss it.
Signup closes on sunday. If the tournament is a success, I will try and schedule another one in the future wher eI myself can participate. BUt for this one I'm being neutral :)
-
More power to you then, hopefully I can catch the next one that comes around too. ^^

I hope so too, keep an eye on another poll sometime after this tournament :)
-
Regarding the date I hope that my suggestion doesn't come late, but why don't we simply put up a doodle for seeing when we can reach the most players? Might be universally helpful information for other tournaments too.
