International Tournament

The first time after centuries, Ahet-Apep LII has announced that a Kurultaj will be held in Konzbator. The event serves two purposes: first, it is a diplomatical meeting to express friendship and cooperation between nations. Second: It is an old-style tournament, where various competitions will be held.

The list of the competitions:
- Horse racing
- Chariot racing
- Spear throwing
- Jousting
- Sharpshooting (Bow, crossbow, rifle, mounted archery)
- Traditional wrestling
- Traditional Fencing
- Melee

Other events:
- Combat demonstrations and parades
- Informational presentations about military history and tradition of nations
- Historical reenactment scenes
- Cultural exhibitions of participating nations; concerts

Every nation who wishes to participate in the Kurultaj is free to join.

(OOC: Think Olympics but with a more traditional and cultural touch.
The list of competitions is complete, every nation can pick one competition in which his team is very strong, which would give a +20 to that roll, or 2 competitions in which his team would get +10 to the rolls.
I will use a random number generator set from 1 to 100, for every nation for every competition, most likely this: http://www.randomnumbergenerator.com/custom.asp . All you need to join is to say so, and state the one or two strongpoints of your national team! The event itself will be on this weekend, GMT+1 timezone.)

Participants:

Apepistan - Strongpoint: Horse racing, Sharpshooting: Mounted archery
Atlantica - Strongpoint: Fencing, Sharpshooting: Rifle
US of Scouting - Strongpoint: Chariot racing, Sharpshooting: Rifle
Xolox - Strongpoint: Jousting, Melee
Azotakza - Strongpoint: Fencing, Sharpshooting: Rifle

The Grand Emperor finds this idea fantastic and wouled like to enter Xolox as a participant. Will there be a melee as well?

Of course! Any competition that fits into the theme can be held.

I find this idea rather unique, Atlantica wishes to take part in Sharpshooting(all types) Traditional Fencing, The Informational Events, jousting and finally we would like to recommend 4 things, a gladiatorial torment (to first blood), chariot racing, A Duel to between world leaders with swords(to first blood) and finally a Naval torment where each side a s fleet of 5 ships each a different type and the first side to sink all of the opponents wins.

Chariot racing is in order.
Naval tournament is not possible; the Kurultaj in Apepistan is set on a traditional place, and being in the middle of the steppe, there is no large body of water in which a game like that could be held.
Gladiators were slaves who fought for pleasing the people, on the Kurultaj participants are free men fighting for honor. It would be offensive to the people of Apepistan and their tradition to degrade a Kurultaj tournament with gladiatorial fights.
This is a friendly competition, and duels between world leaders could easily turn it into a diplomatical issue, there will be no such event. If a leader wishes to participate, he can do so by being a member of his national team.

Then I personally will join any swordsmanship events.

Azotakza will love to compete, even our leader Natalia will compete in it.

Please also state what your national teams strongpoint/s is/are.

(OOC: I will use a random number generator set from 1 to 100, for every nation for every competition, most likely this: http://www.randomnumbergenerator.com/custom.asp . As I said, one nation can either have 2 strongpoints to which they'll get +10 +10, or one to which they'll get +20. I made a list of participants on the first post, Apepistan stands there as an example.)

OOC: This would be a really long list of names, I think that once the results are in, the top 3 participants would be named. Also, I'll record the process of calculating the results and will put it on youtube.

OOC: well Atlantica strengths are any sword based even and Rifle sharpshooting, they are lacking in most over events, like archery, javelin, etc.

New Rhodinia would like to compete in this tournament as well. Livia will lead our team, strong at both melee and sharpshooting with rifles.

Xolox's strong points lie in jousting and the melee. Loxans hold tournaments similar to these fairly regularly to prove their honor and virility. In Loxan culture, traditional weapons and methods are seen as more honorable, although we recognize the advantages of and use modern weapons.

At the behest of his beloved citizens, the Emperor will be participating in the competition.

OOC: Maybe for every strength(+10), countries must also take a weakness(-10). And using that, countries could have more than two strengths, though it would weaken their chances elsewhere.
