Digimon Worlds' Tournament
"Hello, I am Alex Warlorn, one time mercenary now time lord, and welcome to the first annual Digimon Worlds' Tournament.
This tournament will be held in a .Hack// and/or Tron style stadium (similar to the one used in the battle with Master Hand in Super Smash Brother Melee). The stadium itself is in the hold city of originally and currently Atanasoff: the first digital computer ever built and the real OS/Supreme Being, of the digital world laying at the exact center of the computer realm. Though digimon at one point believed they owed their world's existence to ENIAC, he was in fact the second- digital computer built and really just a PR man. The Monster Makers still created the populace for this world though."

This tournament will include fighters from all four seasons, AND the V-Tamer comic crew.
Since these guys are less well known, here's their profiles barrowed from a website whose address I lost.
        V-Tamer Tamers
Taichi Yagami
Taichi is the main character in V-Tamer. His Digimon is Zeromaru the V-Dramon, or Zero for short. When Taichi tried to enter a V-Tamer Tournament, he was rejected because Zeromaru wasn't supposed to exist - but he challenged the winner of the tournament, Neo Saiba to a match anyway. To Neo's shock and anger, he tied with Taichi, whom he called a "third-rate trash Tamer". Lord Holy Angemon later called Taichi into the Digital World, where he met a real Zero. Taichi and Zero eventually arrived at Holy Angel Castle, where Lord Holy Angemon told Taichi and Zero about the threat of Demon. Taichi later recieved a Digivice 01 from Whamon, another one of the guardians of the V-Tamer Digital World.
Rei Saiba
Rei is Neo's sister. In the real world, Hideto had called Rei, and because of that she was hit by a car and handicapped for life, and must go about in a wheelchair. However, she can walk in the Digital World. She met and is friends with Taichi, but Neo tried to kidnap her so she could be with him. She has a strange pendant that eventually turns out to be a Digimental that can evolve Digimon to a new form called Super Final.
Neo Saiba
Neo was called into the Digital World by Demon, who sought a Tamer to raise the Super Final egg he had prepared. Neo had several Digimon, and was the first Tamer to be seen jogressing Digimon together. Because when you jogress two Digimon together, the resulting Digimon's health is at full - he nearly beat Taichi and Zeromaru. But as Neo called Taichi a "third rate trash Tamer", Zero became furious and deleted Neo's Digimon. By this time, however, Neo had scanned much of Zero's data with his Digivices. Neo also let Taichi and Zero kill a Metal Greymon, which was devoted to him - but Neo didn't care for him at all, and was just using him to scan more of Zero's data. The Super Final egg finally hatched, and Neo turned on the Alias III, using Arkadimon Baby to kill Piemon, which made him evolve to Arkadimon Child. He then proceeded with an army to Holy Angel Castle, which barely defeated the assault. Later, Demon threatened Neo, but Arkadimon killed and absorbed him - but later it was seen that this was Demon's plan all along. Neo took command of all Demon's armies, and eventually Arkadimon evolved to Arkadimon Super Final through Rei's pendant. However, Demon was waiting for this very moment, and his data seized control of Arkadimon, transforming him into Demon Super Final, much to Neo's surprise.
Hideto Fujimoto
Hideto was one of the Alias III that Neo called into the Digital World to aid him. He has an Omegamon (which later devolved into Metal Garurumon and War Greymon and back again) for a partner - but they only reluctantly fought Taichi and Zero. Hideto was once Neo and Rei's friend, but once he called Rei over to see something on his V-Pet, and when Rei ran across the street she was hit by a truck and paralyzed from the waist down. Neo waited for the chance to 'repay' Hideto for this ever since.
Mari Goutokuji
Mari was one of the Alias III that Neo called into the Digital World to aid him. She has a Rosemon for a partner, and very nearly stopped Taichi and Zero from saving Holy Angel Castle when Neo attacked it. She and her digimon of course were betrayed by Neo and ArcaDemon when he had no further use for her.
Sigma
Sigmas was one of the Alias III that Neo called into the Digital World to aid him. He wears a mask and has a Piemon for a partner, but we know for certain that it was killed by ArcaDemon. He and Mari seemed to have a thing going.
"Anyway, this tournament is in the same style as Sockles' Sonic World Tournament on TSF. Single elimination rounds with the winners being paired off against each other with a 'X round loser free for all' at the end of each round.
A digimon loses if they touch the ground outside the ring or fly out of the stadium air space (so yes they can fly above the crowd but not beyond it.).
A digimon (of course) also loses if they are deleted or KO'd.
You can upload a deleted opponent only if they agreed to such stakes before hand.

For those of you who counted then you know we have a slight problem, there are only 32 slots in this tournament but 34 fighters. This is where you come in.
We need a vote on which two digi-kids and their partner digimon will be commentating and referring these fights.
Please cast your votes.
Once decided, we'll be able to move onto the main event. Like I said, this tournament is done in the spirit of Sockles' add-on stories of a similar name.
Thus, once a fighting tree has been posted, anyone is free to write the current fight, or call dibs for a 24 waiting time to write it without worrying about someone stepping on their toes.
Please try to keep the characters in character as much as possible, and pretty please don't go killing off any of the humans (they don't reinitialize like digimon). If a fight you want doesn't come up, you can still write a 'grudge match.'
Also in Sockles tradition a pub has just been constructed (programmed?) in the digital holy city close to the stadium, which will be run by Calumon and the Digi-Gnomes (yes, this does spell trouble) for losers to sulk and for winners to brag.
Friends and relatives of the digi-kids are free to watch the fights from their computer screen or buy a ticket for a seat in the stadium. Don't worry: all precautions have been take to insure the audience is not deleted by stray fire.
So . . . anyone in?
This isn't much of an RP, really. You gave us BG info, and a setting, but I think fighting tournament RPs don't work that well. That's just me though.
He's right. "I hit you, you hit me" fighting games don't tend to work around here. Stats don't tend to translate well to a guild setting, and the random lack of a plot makes them very little better than spam.
Go read Sockles' tournaments on TSF and tell me that.
Just because it worked with OTHER Rpers at ANOTHER board, doesn't mean it works here. We're more story-RP types.
I think Sockles had the right idea about one thing, at least this story chain has a built in goal for the writers.
Sigh, but seriously, if you don't like this chain story then why are you posting on it? Why not post in something you like?
If you look at the other RPs in here, you'll see we do post in RPs that we like.
RPs, not tournaments and fighting things like this.
Tourneys have never gone down well in the RP guild and we're only informing you of that fact.
your the one who grew annoyed and aggrivated over it.
The votes for the commentator/ref. right now are.
Davis: 1
Jeri: 1
Alice: 1
Kenta: 1
Kazu: 1
First two characters with more then one vote gets the job.
Where did this voting take place,
I've seen nothing of it in the RP guild.
Does this even have a point ?
Alex, this is irrelevant.
If it didn't happen in the Guild, then how the heck is it supposed to be fair to the people you're trying to convince it's a good idea to play in?
I'm one step off closing this RP as a waste of posting space. If you just want to hold a random fight, there're plenty of other places to hold it than here. Either shape this thread up or just leave it alone.
I'll admit, I was completely wrong for not adding any type of story post along with the background information. It's about time I correct that mistake.
For information on the V-tamers, see the following sites.

While still an adventure loving kid at heart, the V-tamer Tai has a tactical creative side his anime counter part doesn't.
Meek and always cheerful, Rei has always refused to let her limitation in the real world weight her down, she doesn't stop her from enjoying her freedom in the digital world though.
Once kind and tender, Neo still has a constant smile on his face like he did before Rei wond up in a wheel chair: but now it's combined with the look a predator ready to strike on upsuspecting prey, with Rei as an exception, Neo is willing and able to use and discard humans and digimon alike to get what he wants without a trace of regrete.
Hideto is serious, silent, and moody, haunted by the accident that cost Rei the use of her legs, he doesn't realize how much it changed Neo. Mari and Sigma look to him as their leader.
Nicked named, 'Mimi's evil twin', Mari is cheerful and a total flirt, but when unset she can be down right vicious.
Sigma looks perfectly normal underneath his mask, however, he's scared of people getting close to him and deciding he's not worth their time, his mask is his way of keeping a 'cool' air of mystery about himself.
A digimon is allowed to use any form it can muster as long as it doesn't involve joining with another digimon.
Question: What of mid-battle digivolution? Are we allowed to digivolve into higher forms durning the battle? (Example: Say that I start of with agumon, but during the fight, I warpdigivolve him into Wargrymon, can we do that?)
Answer: Yes.
Question:Why limmit to just the kids/digimon? Why not use the bad rogue digimon? like Mytoticemon, or MetalSeedramon?
Answer: Part of this tournament is about who has the best human/digimon combination. Digimon without a human other, or vice versa are not allowed to enter. (The 04 kids have the spirits of the ten legendary warriors to act as 'partner digimon' to enter.)
Question: And then again, what of the digimons dark forms? Each digimon has one. What if I wanted to use Dark/Shadow/Black Agumon, so that way I could use BlackWarGrymon?
Answer: Corrupt digivolutions are not offically against the rules but they are impossible to control or stop except by force, and it will not be looked on favorably if a digimon kept attacking after being declared the winner.
Question: What of card use for 03 tamers? Are the humans allowed to use the cards to help boost their digimon? And also, you said that the digimon can use any form it can muster as long as its not with another digimon, dose that include Grony (Sp)? (Youknow, Glantmon's (Sp?) littly flying ship in order to go into Crimsom mode)
Answer: In the second Tamers movie (not shown in the USA) Takato showed he could use Gallentmon Crimson Mode without Granni after the battle with the D-Reaper.
Yes, Tamers can used modify cards to help their digimon, just as 02 destine can change armor forms at any time and th 04 kids are allowed to use 'slide evolution' mid-fight as well.
This is NOT Dragon Ball Z here nor is it Yugioh. Fighters will be expected to use their wits as well as their power levels and the speed and strength of their attacks. In other words, the human/digimon combo will be tested as the teams (made of one human and one digimon ideally) try to out smart each other as well as over power each other.
Question: You say that no fusion is allowed unless the one digidestent has the two digimon. But in all the shows I have seen, no body has more then one digimon (aside 04, but they only digivoled with their 'main' digispirit aside the fusion for EmporerGrymon and MagnaGarurumon?
Answer: The basic rule is one digimon in battle per-side per-match.
The high level spirit fusions use the spirits of the other kids not just their own, so no go.
Question: And this no fusion can hinder some digimon with digivolutions, so my question is, is it alright if I go by how the digimon digivolve in the games? (Ex: Veemon - Veedramon - ArrowVeedramon - Imperarlmon. WarGrymon to Omnimon without use of MetalGarurumon. Other mega forms not seen in the show of some of the first digimon)
Answer: Sorry.
Basically I want to keep the 'gawd stompers' out of the things.
I want to run this tournament to work the bugs out.
While there might seem to be a power inbalance here, remember what happened in the anime adaption of Sonic Fighters . . . oh yea, since it hasn't been offically released yet, I don't think you want the spoilers.
"Attention all teams! After random selection, the Match-ups for the first round will be as follows."

-------------------------
"Hey!" Henry/Jenrya's Terriermon protested. "How come the humans get listed and we don't?!"
Henry sighed. "With all the different form names you guys have it would have gotten confusing, we humans have only one."
"What are you talking about? You have a name for what your dad calls you, you have a name for what your American net-pals call you, and another name for what your mom calls you."
"Mom's Chinese, dad's Japanese, and like you said, my net pals are on the other side of the ocean. Different languages, different variations on the same name. I don't like it but it's how the world works."
"Aren't we- '03-Tamers' the human/digimon pairs that normally challenge the system?"
" . . . Terriermon . . . if we're going to do battle with the established, I think I'll wait for something a bit more important."
As this discussion continued the other teams were taking in who they would be facing off against.
"Hey Zeromaru!" Taichi 'V' Yagami pointed at the screen for his partner digimon calling him by his personal name. "Check it out! We're taking on one of those '03 kids first. Dangit, I was hoping I could see how I measure up against myself, or at least knock Neo out of this tournament before he hurts someone."
"Don't worry, if you're anything like you, you'll be facing off against yourself before ya know it . . . Okay, forget I even said that!"
"Good sir!" The 100% combo looked behind themselves to see a brown bolted robot. "I do believe yee have forgotten that yee must first do battle with myself and my fair ally on yee honorable field of battle before yee shall have even hope of doing battle with yee nemesis or yonder mirror image! And yee good sir will not vanquish us!"
A boy in a boy in a black shirt with a gold cross design on the front came from behind the machine to translate. "What my buddy here is saying is that we're gonna ownz ya daddy!"
The glitch dragon and north sector child looked at each other.
"Which did you understand better?"
"I have to choose?"
So that's my first opponent. Cody thought to himself. "Armadillomon?"
"Yes Cody?"
"Let's prove to them size doesn't matter."
"You know I'm gonna give it my all!"
"Good." The little samerai responded.
Doesn't look so tough. The destine of the dark thought looking at the short lad's image next to his. But looks can be very deceptive. He looked at his d-tector/d-scanner looking his warrior and animal spirits in the eye. Either way, I'm not leaving this tournament in the first round!
"Wow!" Davis said. "I can't believe it V-mon! Me and Tai in the first round! Guess we're having the last match first in a way huh? This is just so cool! Mentor and student in a final test of digivolution and skill! This is gonna be great!"
Another digimon would have suggested Davis contain himself, V-mon however, was too excited himself to care. After all, V-mon were good luck, and with Davis' own good luck (aside from matters involving Kari and Gatomon) they couldn't lose!
"Well." Tai blinked at the screen. "This is unexpected."
Agumon himself just found it weird. "Are you SURE this is all random?"
"It's supposed- to be random . . . Oh well, what the hey, I'm sure we'll have fun with this!"
Ryo didn't know weather to feel guilty or excited. He was going off against Suzie. A less experienced tamer would assume she was an easy victory . . . but having a Dava for a partner digimon combined with the power of a small child's powerful imagination . . . Ryo knew he best be at his strongest in this fight. He just hoped he didn't hurt little Suzie or Henry's feeling too much when he won!
Suzie of course consider this all play, while Lopmon knew that a veteran like Ryo would be near impossible to beat, Suzie wasn't the least bit worried. Well, Digimon's power came from imagination and faith, maybe Suzie's faith would pull them through. And if all else failed, she was a Dava, she knew no fear!
"That's my opponent? A geek and cream puff?" Koji raised an eye brow at the glasses boy and the little angel digimon. "Well at least I'll get to the second round no problem."
"We'll MarineAngemon. I don't care how stone cold this guy looks! I'm not scared! How about you?"
Marine Angemon answered his normal babble that Kenta understood perfectly. ~I won't worry if you don't. After all, who can resist this- cute face?~
"You're one weird angel."
~I evolved from Gommamon, what did you expect? Sermons?~
Two human minds with a single thought. 'Well. That's my free ticket to the next round. Not that I was worried whoever my opponent was going to be.' Their partner digimon shared similar expressions of concern too.
"Heh." Impmon smirked. "We lucked out. We're ain't gonna fight some we know dis round! I won't have ta hold back!"
Ai and Mako looked at each other. Sometimes even they didn't understand Impmon.
"They're so cute!" Mari said. "I don't know if I can't bring myself to fight them! Oh I'll just keep my eyes closed when we fight! Right Rosemon?"
"Just as long I don't have to keep my eyes closed . . . should I switch my whip in for a paddle?"
Hideto looked up from the fighter profile halo pad he was holding. "Heh. So you're top dog of your group huh? I guess I'll be the first to see what you're made up. Not that it'll be there for very long."
"Yes sir." Said Omegamon at his side. "Will we enter combined or just one of us?"
"I'll let you know before the match."
"Sir."
"I can't wait!" Takuya said to himself. "Leader of Alias III huh? No better way to show that nothing beats spirit power, espiecally a digimon too inexperinced not to think for himself during a fight!"
The thick head of the goggle head is omipresent.
"Looks like it's you and me Sora." Kari smiled.
"Looks that way." Sora laughed. "Just promise you'll go easy on me and Biyomon."
"Don't worry, me and Gatomon know where the line is, besides, it's not like anyone is in this tournament to hurt anyone."
"Well." Takato said. "I was hoping for Davis or one of the Tais but I guess taking on an original 01 destine is kinda cool."
"He looks sorte like Kenta Takatomon." Guilmon observed.
Takato thought about how to put this gently. "Well, I guess they just both like the same things." Takato decided it just wasn't nice to call someone a geek even if the mold fit.
"Oh man!" Joe whined. "Of all the digimon to go up against I have to go up against the one that can turn into 'ye who can destroy all the digital plane' why couldn't I have gone off against . . . . against-"
"Face it Joe." Gommamon criticized. "You'd be wetting your pants no matter who you'd be up against. Just take it like a man."
"Sure easy for you to say."
"Easy for me to say?! I'm the one doing the fighting here!"
"I have to go up against a GIRL?!" Tomoki exclaimed. Tommy was at that age were gender was a major deal. "Come on! What kind of fight is that? Sigh . . . Her idea of fighting has to be talking over tea."
"Oh he's so cute Hawkmon! Just look at him! I wonder what his digimon is like."
"According to this." Hawkmon looked up from the fighter halo pad. "he changes into- a digimon."
"That's even cuter!"
Hawkmon sighed. Why were the digimon always the level headed ones in these partnerships?
"I wouldn't make any long term political plans and just focus on making peace with your so-called loved ones and your meaningless empty relationships with them. You won't be seeing them for a very, very long time." Henry saw it was the same boy he was matched up against. Henry tensed and used most of his will power not to go into a fighting stance, everything about this guy scream 'threat.' "It's only a real question which of my digimon I'll decide will have the privilege of crushing you and devouring your digimon."
Henry blinked. "You have more than one digimon?"
"In my home in the real world I have a room that is wall to wall with VR-pets, each one representing a digimon in north sector . . . of course I've used most of them as free food for more worthy digimon . . . but I think you get the idea."
"Yea . . . you're completely out of your head! How can you treat your own digimon like that?!"
Neo's eye twitched. "Because . . they ARE mine! Oh and I'd keep a close eye on anyone important to you before our match starts, accidents do happen . . ." Neo walked off before Henry could grab him by the neck of that stupid scarf.
"I'm bound to collect some amazing data with our digimon sparing in a control environment like this." Izzy calculated.
"Just make sure you don't speed too much time looking at your computer during the fight Izzy. Or you just might up in time to see Tentomon on the ground with swirly eyes."
"Please that is a childish cartoon physics impossibility."
Ken kept quite. No last name. Just Sigma. Whoever this guy was. He was clearly tougher than nails to have that kind of air about him. Ken only hoped Wormmon could somehow pull this off . . .
'Stay calm. Don't let anyone see you're nervous. Stay calm. Stay cool. No one can see your face and see you're sweating . . . ' Sigma said to himself behind his mask.
His Piedmon doing his best to add to his tamer's creepiness.
"So two star crossed lovers will face each other on the field of battle oh how cruel-"
"Oh save it." Zoe pokedmon Junpei in the ribs. "I'm not interested in you so give me a break. Er, forget I said that, I'll give YOU the break, plenty of them, when our fight starts. I'm just sad it's the last one in the round."
"All the more time to contemplate this fateful battle my-"
"I said shut your mouth!"
If Jeri had been drawn a cat girl, her tail would have been wagging. "Tomorrow is the start of the Digi-World tournament. Can you believe it? I can hardly wait."
Alice just stared at the Kato girl, she could barely stand the happiness oozing from her. "Given the fate of your digimon and mine, I wouldn't think you'd be the first to be over excited at the idea of digimon beating each other to data bits."
Alice's rain cloud demeanor was the irresistible force, but Jeri's happy go lucky shell personality was the irresistible force. "It's not like they're going to really try to delete each other and absorb their data! This is just a friendly competition between kids and digimon."
Alice let out a sound of contempt paired with a swift looking out onto the empty arena that would soon see so many battles. The commentator's booth's glass reflected her Vulcan akin air.
Jeri thought of something. "If you don't like this so much, then why did you agree to an announcer for this?"
Alice looked at Jeri with that barely human doll like expression. "I never said I- disliked it. I merely wondered at your lack of reluctance to play your part, or alternately, you wished to act as ref to prevent unneeded data shed."
Jeri was a bit confused by that remark. "I, just thought, that it would be fun. After all, that's what everyone is here for right?"
Alice didn't even respond, just looking at Jeri like she was the world's greatest puzzle box, daring the American to solve it. After everything she's endured. How has her idealism survived?
