Friday, October 2nd, kick off the election weekend with the cage match to end all cage matches! Our gubernatorial candidates will face one another in a duel of fists show down at 9:00 PM by the Eastern Clock. Venture down to the depths of the Annex for a night of violence and politics! Rumor has it, the evening will feature a special guest commentator as well!

Last year, we brought you The Crucible, Kruger's three level closed cage. This year we're going for something a little less grandiose but a whole lot more dangerous.

From afar, the octagon seems like a fairly standard eight sided ring. Raised four feet off the ground, the ring is 32 feet across to give fighters space to move without allowing them too much leeway. The ten foot tall sides are topped with a roll of barbed wire. Upon closer inspection, the walls themselves are wound with enough razor wire that it isn't advised to spend too much time up against the fence. Unless you're in to that sort of thing. Then have fun! Each post of the ring includes vents that spew smoke and the occasional jet of flames to add to the ambiance. Watch your eyebrows!

Only one will emerge the winner so come out to cheer for your favorite candidates as they fight for your vote!

Tonight's fight will be in Megabrawl format. Rules will be explained further once we get started, but feel free to reference these:

1. The order set before the Brawl will determine the order in which the moves are considered to have been performed. The first round will go 1-2-3-4, the second will go 2-3-4-1, etc. This will determine, in the case of more than one person attacking a single dueler, who swings first in the round.

2. Each player will send in two moves: one primary move and one secondary move. The primary move must also have a name sent along with it—that is the person the move will be directed against. If a different fighter than the one sent attacks the fighter, the secondary move is used on that person. Any other attacks on that dueler work automatically, as it is assumed that the attackers are coming in from too many angles for the attacked to be able to try and stop them all. Note: If two fighters direct their attacks at each other, then it's figured out like a normal duel—match the moves on the matrix, one falls down (or both, or one dodges, ducks, etc.)

Example: Claire, G, Kruger, and Jesse are in.

Claire's IM- Jab (G)/Sweep G's IM- Sweep (Kruger)/ Snapkick Kruger's IM- Jab (Jesse)/Spinkick Jesse's IM- Jumpkick (G)/Sweep

This is what would happen in the round.

Claire jabs at G who tries and fails to defend with a snapkick. G drops to sweep Kruger who can't spinkick fast enough to hold G off. So Kruger goes to punch the sweeping Jesse instead. She retaliates by jumpkicking G, which goes unhindered.

(For the record: G was hit twice, Kruger once, and Jesse once)

3. Offensive or defensive moves can be used as either primary or secondary maneuvers.

4. After a move is selected, two more must be used before the first can be picked again. Thus, if a jab is used as one's primary attack in a round, it can be used as a secondary attack in the next (i.e. Round 1- Jab/Snapkick, Round 2- Sweep/Jab is acceptable). However, if it is used as a secondary attack, a full round must pass before it can be used again. Yes, this means that a round consists of two moves.

5. You will have sixty seconds to decide your move for the next round and send it in. This rule will be enforced as well as possible. The reason for this is that it isn't a round-to-round fight, per se, where the fighters hit, reset, hit, etc. This is a battle of pure kinetic energy, where everyone is pretty much in motion for the whole duel; to take five minutes between moves would slow the Brawl to a complete crawl, especially considering that it will take the caller a minute to tally up the scores and start the call, plus the time involved in the opening round(s) of action...this'll be a pretty long event.

6. Each character will have ten points to start, their stamina, so to speak. Each hit takes off one point. Once a character loses all their points, they tire to the point where they can be thrown out of the ring.

**Important** The next hit does NOT automatically knock a dueler from the ring! There are seven ways to eject someone from the ring: flip, hook, uppercut, spinkick, snapkick, scoring on a conversion, or scoring a point on a fancy. Also, dual hooks or spinkicks will not throw the intended victim out of the ring. (Note- the snapkick is a change from previous brawls. It may not seem like a power move, but it was necessary to have a move that could beat a duck- chop just doesn't fit, and legsweep is far too powerful in regards to the matrix to put it in a group with hook and spinkick.)

Any questions, feel free to PM Claire.
