Greetings and salutations, fighters of Eorzea!
It is I, the one and only Hyena, Gentleman and incredibly handsome agent of pandemonium. I come to you, the people, in this well-thought advertisement with this idea:Â
Another weekly fight club.
"But Thal's Balls, Flynt We already have the Grindstone, why do we need another!?" I'm glad you asked, inconspicuous reader. Friday Night Fisticuffs will be a more lighthearted and casual event, aimed towards silly and generally more stylish accessible bouts ultimately giving people an excuse to fight before preparing for the Grindstone (an already well-established fight club held saturdays at 10:00 pm EST). Now now, I know you all love your fighting pits, but this isn't your grandpappy's ring of honor; this is Friday Night Fisticuffs; a place where we sort the puppies from the big dogs.
The Need-to-Know:
- Fights are virtually the same as any other, three hits and it's a win, however we strongly encourage the use of /Random, this doesn't rule out the use of Rolz, but the 1-999 system allows the spectators to see the rolls in action. Also, filthy console players (Like myself), don't need to pull up their comps to roll on.
- We'd like to push the idea that the higher your roll, the more outrageous your attack/defence may be. For example, Fighter A rolls a winning offensive roll  of 999; this lucky duck can cast Ars Arcanum using a skillet with such a roll. It will always be one hit, but it will be a doozy. Same goes for low rolls, abuse the lightheartedness! Roll a 7 and still manage to be the top roller? Sneeze so hard your head recoils away from the incoming blade. This is an event centered around  lighthearted fun, an exhibition tourney to allow people to get a name for themselves, have fun with it, it's for making friends, not being the best. (OOC at least).
- Though Friday Night Fisticuffs is generally an exhibition event, donations can be taken to form a pot given to the champion upon completion.
- We're pitching this at Ward 8 of The Goblet, at the Brimming Heart (The very middle), where the arena is the shallow pool (X:11 Y:10), it's nice and spacious, a vista overlooking the entire fight allows ease of access for spectators without interference, plenty of places for players to roleplay throughout, as well.Â

*Elegantly drawn Bombard not included.
  What We Need
- Staff [Medics, Overseers, etc]!
- Competitors!
- Even people willing to co-host, though I'd prefer you contact me through PM with that.
- Publicity!
So in all, I'd like to just post this idea here to see if it picks up attention. If it gets enough groundswell I'll post in this thread the date of the first Friday Night Fisticuffs, thanks for bothering to read my cockemamey schemes.
Yours, Flynt Reddard
