It's happening!!
We are ready to do some testing of the revamped battle system. What better way to do this than a tournament?
While we are not quite ready to reveal all of the changes, we can give you some information so you can start planning, levelling, and getting ready.
The Details:
We will be running a PL 4-6 non-unique tournament!
* It will be restricted to Basic, Very Special, and Rare breeds of any species that is between the power levels of 4 and 6. Customs, offspring, crossbreeds, and FVSC are banned.
* Non-permanent items will not be allowed. (Permanent boosts like elixirs and injections are fine.)
* You will be allowed to make some adjustments to what you spend your TP on for this tournament. (We want you to test stuff without being locked in!)
* Not everything we want to change will be ready for testing at this time, but most of it will.
* Magic (as in the abilities 'magical' and so on) will not be allowed in this tournament. You may enter a pet with these abilities, but they cannot be used.
* Participants will earn pit points normally, and the champion will be given champion status.
We will be revealing the parts of the revamp that are ready for testing sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. The tournament will take place 2-3 weeks after that. We wanted to announce this early so you have plenty of time to prep/gain levels.

As you may have figured from other announcements, the Beta Tournament is locked in and ready to go! I'm sure you're all here for the deadline. We will be accepting applications until Midnight, US Central Time, on April 2nd. Please check the battle update for more information on what we've changed. Then, once you feel ready to enter, you may submit your training here. Finally, once your training is approved, send your application (below) to Battle Moderator to enter! Name: <creature's name> Species: <creature's breed and species> Level: <creature's level> Loyalty: <creature's loyalty to you> Base Stats: <creature's base stats, abilities, and moves, not including anything you've trained or added> Stat Boosts: <natural boosts to the creature's stats, from the training gym> Alterations: <any injections or permanent potions, and what they get from it> Trained: <everything you've trained, including skills, abilities, tricks, and moves>
Items: <any items you are using during the tournament> Items are banned from this tournament. You may wear a ribbon of telepathy, but you gain no stats benefit for it.

Hello all! Looking at the results of the deadline extension poll, we have decided to extend the due date for entries to Midnight, US Central Time, on April 15th. You now have an extra half month to get your entries in! As before, remember that everything your creatures knows for the tournament must be noted in Beta Tournament Training Submissions, and then once you are done training, your creature must be submitted using the form in the post above, PMed to the Battle Moderator account. Best of luck!

Hello everyone! As it stands, applications for the beta tournament have now closed! Thank you so much for a fantastic turn out, we can't wait to see you all on the arena floor! That being said, this tournament is going to be structured a little differently from previous ones. As mentioned in previous announcements, you now have five days to post in a battle thread instead of three. And that's because rather than doing rounds one at a time, which makes tournaments take a very, very long time, we'll be running each battle simultaneously. In this case we received nine applications, so each person will have eight threads they need to post in, with one post required every 5 days. This will hopefully make tournaments a lot quicker to run, though like most things it is subject to change if it turns out it doesn't work well! For a quick reminder on how to start threads now, as mentioned in the Battle Tutorial, each thread will be opened, you will make an introductory post with your creature's stats and a to-hit roll, and then you will PM your choice of first move to the battle moderator, preferably titling the PM after the name of your match so we know what thread to apply the results to. When the Battle Moderator makes a post with the results, your next roleplay post will be in response to that, and you'll PM the battle moderator your next move. We'll give you a couple days to take this in, plan your moves, get prepared, (and maybe take a bit of a breather after all that training!) and then the tournament will open! Best of luck!

Let The Battles Begin!
The tournament is now open! Every possible matchup now has a thread, and everyone has been sent out a PM linking to each thread. Please use these PMs to report your choice of move to the Battle Moderator! Seeing as we have NINE participants, that means that everyone should have EIGHT matches. If it looks like a match got skipped or you didn't receive a PM for one, please let me know! As mentioned, you now have a deadline of 5 days (Until midnight US central 5/5/24) to make a post for each. In addition, the fighting pit has a lower word count requirement- only 100 words for each post! Best of luck to all participants- I look forward to seeing your strategies!

After an accidental discovery (by yours truly), we would like to warn everyone about an oversight in the dice roller plugin that may affect people making their to-hit rolls for the tournament:
This paragraph has been added to the dice roller tutorial for future reference.
