Tournament Update (Round 6, Update 1):

Week 6, Day 3
FFR Research Center, Sector 6

It's been 40 days, I don't know why I still visit this place every day. It looks rather grotesque, but yet so satisfying at the same time. This entire "tournament" our very own TC_Halogen has made is just an experiment apparently, or at least that's what he told me. AJ and I were merely observers, as we were members of the Division 7 race, the pre-eminent of the civilization of FFR.

Each race who joined this "experiment" has an obstacle course to go through, one obstacle per sector. The exits become more and more tight as the sectors progress and I have to admit... it's been rather painful to watch our fellow comrades from Team Blaze, regardless of race; falling one by one as the sector exits become more and more compact. We originally had 41 of us going through this tournament, now we're down to a measly 9 people. Enough talk about the overall view now though, let's see how our members are fairing in this sector.

Division 6: The Division 6 section... is rather interesting. The name of the obstacle fits the overall theme of it quite well. It was designed a la the classic SSH-styled obstacles, but with a little twist. I'm used to seeing SSH-styled obstacles but... this is truly something else. Raging streams in purple and pink with a dash of colourful toxic waste mines and all, it's rather terrifying to look at.

Unfortunately our only soldier in this section Elite Ninja didn't manage to go through the exit as well as it could've been. He had to face a duel to the death with some other person, on an obstacle that's so absurd that the only way I could describe it is "Fractured Sunshine". He did deliver 15 blows to our competitor, but he was defeated by 7 swift blows by Zephei and Elite Ninja fell off the obstacle and fell to the pool of red.. Not even sure what it is. I don't want to know either. Could be alcoholic, or maybe gruesome.

D6 Scores: Elite Ninja (Eliminated) (Tiebreaker Score: 15-0-0-2)

Division 5: Ah, the classic bursty obstacle with the design of post-modern society. Very similar structure to many of the older challenging "breakcore" obstacles, but the nostalgia remains all the same. It's very simple, but also very brutal. You'll never know when you're going to get hit, and if you do, you'd take a lot of damage and you need a lot of willpower to get back up.

The only teammate in the Division 5 section is PriestREA. He took around a couple of hits, but he's doing pretty well so far. Looks like he's about to fall though, I hope he pulls through this obstacle. Most of us are rooting for him to be the lone survivor of this race actually.

D5 Scores: PriestREA (7-1-0-1)

Division 4: Really interesting obstacle. It's very confined and very empty. It just has this one special thing about the obstacle; it highly depends on temperature. It's a very complex puzzle with a very simple concept. If you think the room is hot, it's chillingly cold. If you think it's cold, it's extremely hot. There are multiple mini-obstacles in this, all requires different temperatures and all. The first two are the hardest to figure out, but I think our team could handle it. Hope they can handle hailstorms and droughts.

I can't find top anywhere. I'm not sure if he lost his way to this sector, he got too drunk on the way to the next sector or he just didn't care anymore. Wherever he is, I don't want him to disappear in the research center anyway. We had a couple of waifu wars for a while, I don't want to compete with Derek forever, dammit.

As for PaperclipGames, he has a pretty good pace. Although he's the slowest person to figure out the puzzles so far, he's going through the obstacle pretty well. He could definitely make it if he steps it up a little more, just more 4 more puzzles to go. Though, he did skip a step somewhere. Not too sure where though...

D4 Scores: PaperclipGames (4-0-1-0), top (N/A)

Division 3: I honestly feel kinda bad for my BoyFriend HalfStep. He's been that independent black woman from the entire team for 5 weeks now, you'd think that he'd be driven insane by now. Guess that picture of Reimu held him on. I don't blame him. The obstacle is really long-winded, it looks like it's going on forever... guess that's the intention of the designer of that impediment. Though it's not just long-winded, it's ridiculously exhausting for a Division 2 player, jeez. I have to admit though, the obstacle looks really corny.

I hope Half could make it, he doesn't look too far ahead from the exit. 4 more loops to the green area, to be exact.

D3 Scores: HalfStep (4-0-0-1)

Division 2: This is one deceptive obstacle. It looks so relaxed and vibrant, but it's so speedy and filled with rather swingy rhythms. When I saw the design for this obstacle, I really thought that it would be given to the higher divisions, turns out I was wrong. This is probably harsh for most of the remaining players in the round, but who knows. Maybe they'd actually kick it up a notch and push themselves a little more. That's what the experiment is about, anyway.

arcmnx is definitely the outstanding one out of the remaining four comrades. He went through the obstacle in around an hour or so... which is pretty amazing, especially for obstacles this far into the Research Center. Kudos to him, maybe he'd be the last man standing in the last sector. Rooting for you, brah. Micah_ and sayuncle990 following behind. They're doing pretty well, Micah being a couple of delicate steps away, 4 to be exact. Unfortunately for sayuncle, he's pretty far away from the rest of the team.

Garquillex ended with the same dilemma as what our brother Elite Ninja has. The obstacle is designed by our very own experiment organiser himself. It's quite a spectacular sight too, it's crafted similar to one of the obstacles earlier in the sectors, but more complicated and detailed. Also has that classic tribal feel to it as well, it's glorious. It's a race to a finish kind of obstacle apparently, he's getting pretty close to the exit of the tiebreaker.

Eventually he managed to break through the tiebreaker obstacle. Shame that it only lasted for a day though... he still has a long way to go to enter Sector 7, but I have confidence in him.

D2 Scores: arcmnx (AAA), Micah_ (4-0-0-0), sayuncle990 (64-8-1-28), Garquillex (10-2-1-6) (Tiebreaker Score: 6-0-0-3)

At Risk of Elimination/Eliminated This Round: Elite Ninja (D6/Eliminated), top (D4), sayuncle990 (D2), Garquillex (D2)

That was beautiful eze...I'm still waiting for our tb fanfiction

Also, double posting for an announcement:
Attention Team Blaze Mods/Staff!
Check your pm's. :3 I want to plan a staff meeting next weekend, go read your pm's for more information :P Also, please try to do the poll as soon as possible. Even if you aren't 100% of your schedule, you can guess as best as you can for now and edit it later I believe; the sooner everyone submits this, the quicker we can meet at a final meeting time.

[Charu]

I don't think we can edit what you used, but regardless, all the times I listed should be accurate. I'm free on weekends.

Aiyah, the edit button doesn't work like I thought it would :/ Oh well, this is still a step up from any other method I can think of. If anyone does the poll and later has a change of schedule, just send me a message and I'll make note of it when I choose the final meeting time. Thanks guys!

TEAM BLAZE TOURNAMENT UPDATE - ROUND 7

Division 2: The air is cold and the battlefield rampant with actions. Many have attempted to climb to the summit and have their shot of victory, but alas - the battlefield posed too much of a threat to them; those are the fallen, the ones that have been left behind but surely not forgotten. The noble arcnmx has fought among his teammate Micah_, but only one of them seems to be able to brace the trials and tribulations of the seventh war. Contrary to popular belief, love cannot save you, your only ally is yourself, if that; however, our noble arcnmx has not been phased by this realization, climbing to the top with perfect expertise and swift ability. We are grateful that our soldier has shown perseverance and a steadfast attitude, solely due to an outsider matching his perfect expertise and proving to be a potential danger to our team. The weather is detrimental to health. These trials have met our soldiers with extreme chagrin and there is possibility that one of our men may not hold. The weather is getting colder, the nights longer and the battlefield thinning out. Only those who are the strongest are still standing today; however, it seems that our Micah_ hasn't even reached the end of the trial, yet attempted it in all of its duration. We hope he can muster the strength to conquer it as the nights fall. Arcnmx and Micah_, we hope that you will secure sector 2's crown and hoist it upon Lord Benguin's throne. Succeed whatever the cost. The trials may appear simple, but that is a semblance of truth; verisimilitude.

Current scores: arcnmx - AAA, Micah_ (324-38-30-182)
Potential to be killed in action: Micah_

Division 3: This trial has been hard to scale; the war has remained rampant. Soldiers have nicknamed this "Devil's staircase". Only those wicked and with the fire in their hearts to succeed will. Our soldier HalfStep has proven to be one of those men, although tripping up at some junctions, he has risen to be of the top 3 in his sector. There is only one man better than our sector 3 soldier. He has proven he will not quit. We hope that he can muster strength to crush that one soldier and ascend to the top. He will become the pinnacle of sector 3. We hope we can place sector 3's crown upon Lord Benguin's mantel. Our soldier's name is quite misleading, suggesting he only makes strides half as strong as possible. However, he has ascended along Devil's Staircase with long, confident strides. Good luck, soldier. We are rooting for you. He is our only hope. Your family and friends hope to see you return with the scars of battle; more so the symbol of victory. The crown.

Current Scores: HalfStep (4-0-1-3)
Potential to be killed in action: N/A

Division 4: A soldier from an unknown faction defected to us just recently. We are unsure of his honor and determination to please our leaders and we may never know. As we continue to investigate this soldier, abilities suggest a strong determination and willpower to please the leaders and return from the battlefield victorious. Badman7772 may have defected - is not our original soldier, but he has surely been strong. Most may say that he would be a cutthroat thug. He has maintained standing as the top soldier in the fight. No battalion has been able to take him down; he has remained at the top for quite some time now. Although he has tripped up in some spots, he has taken this trial with quite high proficiency and exceptional ability. That isn't to say that we haven't others who fight for success. PaperclipGames has taken this fight as anything but a game. He has taken it with extreme care and maintains skillful execution, although he doesn't boast the top spot, he is above those who are destined to fall (in willpower and health). Other soldiers are attempting to push through the battlefield in the hopes to fight in the 8th and final war. Hopefully the young paperclip can be one of those; to stave off the competition and represent the fuel and fire of Team Blaze. We bid glad tidings to our soldiers badman and paperclip. We hope one of you shall come back home and bring sector 4's crown to Blaze. We are hopeful that Lord Benguin will hoist Sector 4's crown along with Sector 2 and 3.

Current Scores: Badman7772 (13-0-2-6); PaperclipGames (27-1-0-3)
Potential to be killed in action: PaperclipGames

Division 5: The day has been rainy. The smell of petrichor reeks throughout the battlefield, possibly due to the lawns of neighboring farmers coexisting with the grass being awaken by the 11 minutes of heavy downpours. We only have one soldier. PriestREA is the only one who remains, although on top of his sector at the moment, he has fallen short in other wars. There are other soldiers in this sector that are certainly able; absolutely proficient. If our soldier can make it through, it is possible that 4 of the 6 sector's crowns will belong to Team Blaze and Lord Benguin.

Current Scores: PriestREA (16-2-0-3)
Potential to be killed in action: N/A
