A transmission, paid for in full mind you, would reach all media waves from across the known Galaxy.
Television, radio, even that new thing called the "Webtranet" would broadcast the following ...

"Oi, Pasta. Do I look fat in this tie?" A rather large man could be seen in front of the screen, or heard if it was from a radio transmission. Though large, he did not give off the aura that he was in any way mean or menacing. In fact, he seemed rather goofy, in all honesty. "Uhm, King Tsuno, sir... we are live." The sound of a nervous woman could be heard, to which the large man would stare nervously into the camera, before laughing loudly and scratching the back of his head. "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OF COURSE WE ARE! LIVE TELEVISION, AM I RIGHT?" He'd bring his closed fist up to his mouth to cough, before pocketing that same hand, under his other arm was a clipboard. "Citizens of the Galaxy, I am the King of Earth-2, Tsuno, and I greet you on this day for an open invitation to visit and enjoy the beauty that is Earth-2!" He'd move the clipboard up, to show it to the camera. "In our time, we have had the pleasure of knowing much peace and tranquility, and to commemorate these peaceful and prosperous times, we will have .... A MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT!" The irony. Still he'd reference the clipboard by pointing at the top piece of paper with his other hand. "Construction on a large, martial arts arena has been going on for several years now, and finally it is complete. And with this..." Tsuno would play the clipboard down onto a table near him, reaching for a pen in his pocket and signing the top paper at the bottom. "The announcement for Earth-2's first ever Tenkaichi Budokai is OFFICIALLY OPEN!" He'd pause, as if he were in front of a crowd and expected a rousing round of applause. But, all he got was an awkward clap from one person. He'd grumble. "Cut it out, Pasta. AHEM!" Once again, he'd clear his throat. "The Tenkaichi Budokai is of course a very big deal on our mother Planet, and had been a part of the planet's culture for several years. ... Pasta, roll the tape." The scene would change to show several tournaments from the past on the screen. "We would like to keep this tradition going on our own planet as well. However, instead of keeping this only for the citizens of our own planet, we will be sending several ships out to all corners of the Galaxy, graciously donated to us by the esteemed Capsule Corporation, and picking up any and ALL fighters who wish to participate! Consider it a free right to Earth-2!"
The screen wold change again, showing a large ship, obviously created by the Capsule Corporation as it donned their logo on it. It was oddly shaped, but proven to be quite capable in space transport before.

"Several of these beauties will orbit space, while smaller ships will land on your planets to pick up those who are interested in fighting in the tournament. We humbly ask to allow our ships peaceful passage. There are life staff on board, heheh. The smaller, transport ships that will land on the planet will look like this."
The camera would cut back to Tsuno, big grin still on his face. "The tournament will begin soon, so everyone give it your best! Our ships will make regular trips around planets in order to pick everyone up, until it is time to pack it up and come back home for registration. All fighters will also have a free ride back to their respective planets as well! So, no worries about being stranded!" Both hands were now in his pockets, as he nodded a bit to himself. "The tournament will begin with preliminary rounds, which will determine the final fighters that will actually partake in the Tenkaichi Budokai itself. Zeni prizes will be awarded to those who make it to the first and second place spots, but the Champion will also be awarded something extra special! A national treasure of sorts for Earth-2! Well, we hope to see you all there! Good luck!"
And with that, the transmission would cut out ...
Ladies and gentlemen, it's tournament time. To commemorate such great success we've all been having here on ULTIMATE we will have our first site-wide tournament in the form of the famous Tenkaichi Budokai, or World Martial Arts Tournament. The Tenkaichi Budokai has always been a really big part of Dragon Ball, as we had seen three of them in the original series' run. To continue with the nostalgic feeling of early DB, we will be doing the same. Repeat tournaments are to be determined, let's see how this one shapes out first!
Now, for the details / rules:
Now, for the details / rules:
- Registration begins now. We will give players ample notice as to when registration will be over and when the tournament will begin. We are hoping for an early April start date.
- Only ONE character PER PLAYER is allowed. If you play more than one character, choose who it is you are going to use before registration is over.
- There will be a dice cap initiated to be determined as we get closer to the opening of the tournament. We want to keep the first tournament pretty even-steven in that regard, so everyone will have a decent chance at winning. Dice will be locked in as of the first day of the tournament. We will make sure that the capped level is fair for all parties involved.
- Transformations are allowed, ranging from item transformations to natural types. In light of making sure the arena doesn't get trashed in the first round, all giant sized transformations (i.e. Oozaru, Giant Namek) will grant the user the power but not the physical change. This can change depending who is in the finals and what either party is okay with during it. Item Transformations are obviously used up in the round they are activated, so stock up before hand.
- With the exception of Transformation Items, no items are allowed to be used. This includes Enhancers and healing items. As a note, if you have a healing trait you can use that, or any racial trait that takes the place of an item, but NO ITEMS THEMSELVES.
- Super and Ultimate Attacks, if you have them, are allowed.
- Inventory will be locked on the first day of the actual tournament, pertaining only to Special Attacks and Item Transformations, since nothing else is allowed.
- Depending on the amount of people we have, we will have some sort of preliminary rounds before getting down to the final fighters for the Tenkaichi Budokai itself. We will use our own dice system to figure out who fights who, and rules will be further discussed at the start of the tournament.
- NO KILLING OR ATTEMPTING TO KILL ANYONE. This is a rule of the WMAT itself. None of these matches are DEATH MATCHES. Keep it clean and have fun. This is a community building activity, if anything. Everyone get to know each other ICly and even OOCly.
- There will be a separate notification thread for grading WMAT threads. We will keep track of everyone's gains. Those who have lost, and had their threads graded will get their gains while the winners will hold off until either they lose themselves, or the tournament is over if they are the 1st and 2nd place fighters.
- Don't go crazy and try to take over the planet. Please. Again, just this as an experience to build with the community. Move forward with your personal plots AFTER.
- All trips TO Earth-2 can be taken for free due to the tournament until the registration end date of 04/30. After that, all trips to Earth-2 must be on your own. Trips OFF Earth-2 are NOT free, however and one must use their own ship to leave. The only time a trip off of Earth-2 is free is directly after the tournament's end and for participants of the tournament ONLY.
- JUST HAVE FUN!
Prizes:
The Zeni amounts are obviously OOC amounts, ICly maybe we'll inflate them more so it seems worth it.
2nd Place: 10,000 Zeni
1st Place: 20,000 Zeni & ONE Dragon Ball
Registration begins .... now!
