(US-H-Madoran)Happy Holidays Tournament

[Tizril]

Happy holidays, merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy Kwanzaa, happy Festivus, happy whatever you do.

Soooo, let's have a holiday pet tournament!

When: Saturday December 28th, 7pm server time. If this is an awful date/time, let me know.
Where: Not sure yet, Wish we could duel in town under the tree, but oh well....
Who: Open to anyone in <Warcraftpets> or <Magical Menagerie> ****that is level 10+*****.
What: Level 25 pets, no team switching between battles, Single elimination if over 16 people come, double elimination if it's fewer than that, the usuals..


The Pets:
(This is just a guideline, not the entire list. If your pet meets these criteria it's good, you don't need to clear every pet by me. I try to give a pet from every family as an example, but there are far far more that are okay)

- All the Winterveil pets. [pet]Clockwork Rocket Bot[/pet] included
- Anything cold, that routinely lives in a cold place, or that uses cold spells. (Penguins, Yetis, Arctic Fox, [pet]Mr. Bigglesworth[/pet], [pet]Water Waveling[/pet] etc.)
- Anything Green ([pet]Tiny Green Carp[/pet], [pet]Emerald Whelpling[/pet], [pet]Eye of the Legion[/pet], [pet]Snarly[/pet], [pet]Jade Owl[/pet] etc.)
- Anything Red ([pet]Magical Crawdad[/pet], [pet]Lashtail Hatcling[/pet], [pet]Vengeful Porcupette[/pet], [pet]Festival Lantern[/pet], [pet]Ji-Kun Hatchling[/pet], [pet]Chi-Chi, Hatchling of Chi-Ji[/pet] etc.)
- Anything Gold ([pet]Tiny Goldfish[/pet], [pet]Wild Golden hatchling[/pet], [pet]Golden Pig[/pet] etc.) Bright yellow will count too, as "gold" is kinda subjective.
Special Cases:
- I'm going to say that [pet]Unborn Val'kyr[/pet] is allowed. She looks like an angel, that's a Christmassy thing, right?
- Turkeys and Pigs are good, for the good ol' Turkey or Ham Dinner
- [pet]Netherspace Abyssal[/pet], and the [pet]Pandaren Fire Spirit[/pet] are being added to the list, for the whole "Christmas log" thing.
- Tree pets, for the good ol' Christmas tree (example: [pet]WIthers[/pet])


ALSO, [pet]Blossoming Ancient[/pet] counts, both because it will be covered in snow, and because it's a tree.

As always, if you have any questions or suggestions let me know!

[Jabart]

Count me in!

Would Blossoming Ancient fulfill the cold requirement (assuming it changes to its Winter appearance by then)?

[Tizril]

Yup, Blossoming Ancient will fulfill the cold requirement, as by that time it will be covered in snow. It should be changing on the winter solstice.

Awesome, thanks!

Would the fiendish Imp be allowed as a sort of "grinch that stole christmas?"

[Zavulon]

IMHO, the new Rotten Little Helper would be the "Grinch that Stole Xmas" pet.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Also why I'm doing the tourney a few days after Christmas, to give everyone a chance to grab the new pet and level it up for the tourney if they like.

If you're looking for an imp to bring, I'm pretty sure the [pet]Corefire Imp[/pet] is red, so it'd match that criteria.

[Aingealwroth]

Will try to remember this tourney, since I forgot about the last one. =0

[Askania]

I'm in I actually have pets that can be included in this one. Not sure how it all works so I will do some reading of the forums before then

[Tizril]

It's fairly simple You just need 3 pets that are level 25 and meet the required criteria. Then we all get together somewhere, and I call out who is dueling with whom, winners move on to the next round, losers stay and watch, as everyone gets a prize from the guild bank in the end. It's quite fun!

[Hannabev]

I should be able to make this one and join in this time! Cant wait Currently leveling 2 pets for my team. Without saying what I'm using, they are currently at lvls 25/23/21 ...go go go!

Would the Lil Bad Wolf work?
Doubting it, but if it does, I have a team, isn't that always the way?

Not sure which category it'd fit in. Maybe gold for his clothes? It'd be a bit of a stretch though.

[Aingealwroth]

Okies, thank you. Not sure I have another team that even sort of fits, lol.

[Azguarde]

Gonna try to make this tourney. Hopefully work and kid will let me.

Couple questions. Would [pet]Lil' Deathwing[/pet] count as red? And would [pet]Murkalot[/pet] count as gold cause of the glowing eyes?

[Tizril]

Eh, sure, might as well loosen up the requirements. We'll allow lil bad wolf for his goldish clothes, and lil deathwing for his red wings, and murkalot because he's got a gold flail and eyes and he's just too cute to say no to.

Hi all! Just confirming that if the Tourny is still on and will be tomorrow at 5pm pacific? (I am in in Nevada)
My mom is visiting us in for the Holidays, and I will have to excuse myself into the other room so I don't want to be on too late/early - see you all soon!

Nothing has been said about the tourney not being on. All systems go. Plan is for 7 pm server which is the same as CST so you are correct it would be 5 pm your time. Look forward to seeing your there, if I can get up in time.

[Tizril]

Yup, we're still good to go! Probably going to be by the Greench's Cave, just fyi


Thanks everyone for coming, it was a blast! We had 27 participants, such a stellar turnout!
