Spectator and General Rulings:
Level Restrictions - You MUST be 54+ to compete in the event. (If you are below the level limit, but think you will attain level 54+ before the matches you can sign up for the event. In the chance you don't make the level limit, your entrance will be thrown out, and you won't be able to compete.)

I will respond back to each request. If you don't get a response by the day before the deadline petition in game or get a hold of Sirken.

Anyone found attacking a GM, a Guide, or fellow Spectators, may be banished from the Arena, death touched, or have their RL pets murdered without warning.

The Arena is off limits to unauthorized PvP 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the event. This is to ensure that the contestants and spectators are safe.

Spectators shall remain seated and not casting during the match. Any spell casting shall be considered aimed at a participant, and either harmful or helpful to someone in the match.

Anyone who casts any spells (including Bard songs) during a match can be death touched and removed from the Arena.

Spectators shall not use /shout for any reason, but use /ooc instead. This is so that those involved in the match can use /shout, and the /ooc channel can be turned off to reduce distraction to the contestants involved. Use of /shout by Spectators at anytime can result in death.

Spectators shall not interfere with this event. Severe penalties are used only when directly attacking a player involved in the match, attacking a judge during the match, or healing a player involved in a match.

The Project1999 staff may limit the amount of people in the zone to control conditions of lag or frame rate for the participants. The event shall start open seating, but may close off at any time. The Event Staff may use any sort of decision on who stays and who leaves to ensure the event is a success. This should not be implemented until a minimum of 150 players in the zone has been reached.

General Combatant Rules:
Combatants must stay on the Arena platform. The top of the throne, in the throne, or behind the throne is off limits to the combatants during the matches. The four firepots are also off limits to the combatants. Use of these areas in match combat will lead to contestants being disqualified.

All participants will be debuffed before the match.

In the event that the combat should exceed 15 minutes of real time, then the Event Staff reserves the right cast an AoE Snare spell on the contestants, and the contestants are to remain snared till end of match. (if a match if almost clearly over, then it should be allowed to finish naturally).

Any use of exploits or bugs will result in immediate disqualification from the event.

Depends on how they implement them I would imagine.

Greetings!

Event coordinator stated in the rules posting no right click effects. See http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/h.../000567-2.html page 2 post timestamped 7-02-2001 8:31am.

The gladiators will be level 45 ogre warriors equipped in fine steel plate, armed with Electrum Bladed Wakazashis. They will not communicate with the players.

We may cast on our gladiator, the opposing gladiator, and the opposing cleric. We may not use any form of fear, other than on a hammer pet. We may not use any form of blind on the opposing gladiator. We may not engage a hammer pet on the opposing gladiator.

We may melee the opposing cleric.

In what must certainly be a mis-print, we cannot use Death Pact or Divine Intervention on the opposing gladiator. This should read our gladiator, I believe.

A 30- Second buffing period will be given before the start of the match.

All Armors and Weapons available to the contestants will be allowed. Unless it has, an effect stated in the General Combat rules as unusable.

The Cleric Epic Weapon (Water Sprinkler of Nem Ankh) is allowed, yet their right click effect will not be used in this event.

The object of each Cleric is to kill the opposing Cleric or the opposing Cleric’s Gladiator. The contestants may engage the opposing Gladiator with spells but not melee, they may engage the opposing cleric with spells or melee anytime after the fight command is issued during the event after the 30 second buffing period.

Each Cleric will have an equally equipped and statistically setup Gladiator played by a representative of the Event Staff. The Gladiator will not move, unless due to spells cast on them and combat the character is forced backwards and out of combat range. If the Gladiator has moved out of combat range, they will immediately move forward to return to combat range.

Immediately before the buffing session the Gladiator will stand in the center of the combat area, they will use auto attack at the fight command being issued by the Event Staff and continue to do so until dispatched by the opposing Gladiator or Cleric. The Clerics may buff themselves or their Gladiator as well as heal their Gladiator as needed.

When a Cleric defeats the opposing Gladiator or opposing Cleric, they win the match.
