[GOD] The Arena
64 players enter the arena, only one can take home the prize.
With the forging prowess of master ElGodsmith, players will battle in armed combat using personalized weaponry designed by their own imaginations. The key to crushing your opponents is your weapon's design.
Forge your own advantage in the Arena.
BE SURE TO READ EVERYTHING (I PROMISE IT'S NOT HARD), ANY QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO ANY RULES OR GUIDELINES SHOULD GO IN THIS THREAD.
Upon entering this event, you will receive 2 object slots as well as 8 joints (connectors) and with these, you will create your first weapon for battle. This is achieved by sending your design through a PM to ElGodsmith. He will forge your steel and you will be prepared for battle.
You will have 5 days to compete with your weapon against your opponent in a first to 3 duel. A custom mod will be made for your duel in each round. This mod will include the weapons for both players and this will be the only mod you may use for your duels. Once the winners are determined, the players who move onto the next round will gain an additional two object slots.
After the 5 days of competition, you will have a 2 day rest period. During this time, you will have the opportunity to redesign, or enhance your weapon using your newly acquired object slots and be matched up against a new opponent for the next week.
BUFFS
Each week there will be different milestones to complete within your duel in order to gain buffs to your weapons. The milestones will change between rest days so be sure to check the thread before competition to see what you must accomplish in order to receive a desired buff. These buffs will only last for one duel (round) and buffs are stackable.
motor -your weapon can use a rotatable joint that spins automatically (good for drills and chainsaws)
bounce - contact with your weapon will cause increased force
dual wielding - you gain the ability to wield two of the same weapon, or 2 different weapons in each hand
grip - you may choose a part of your weapon to be un-grabbable by the opponent
invisibility - your weapon becomes invisible and only you will know what the weapon is and looks like
sabotage - one object randomly stripped from your opponent's weapon
MILESTONES
Must be accomplished with use of your weapon:
fracture at least 1 bodypart in every match (and win) - receive bounce buff
disarm your opponent by dismembering the arm wielding their weapon (and win) - receive dual wielding buff
take less than 10k points of damage in any match (and win) - receive motor buff
do not get hit by the opponents weapon in any match (and win) - receive invisibility buff
dismember your opponent while grabbing them (and win) - receive grip buff
decap and disarm your opponent in at least two matches (and win) - receive sabotage buff
DUEL GUIDELINES
As said above, these are first to 3 duels but here are some guidelines for the following situations:
If a player pings after or on frame 350, it will count as a loss. Any pings before that frame will warrant a rematch.
You must play in the mod assigned to you and your opponent.
Make sure that you and your opponent are on the correct sides using the correct weapons (tori side and uke side). This will be indicated in the filename ie. Mwah vs Smilies2 - mwvssm.tbm - mwah (tori) and smilies2 (uke)
Post your score after completing your duel, and add replays if you complete any milestones.
If there are any discrepancies, make sure you catch them with a screenshot before complaining.
DO NOT complain in this thread, send a PM to mwah if you have any issues.

You were too late. The last participant to enter was on page 8 of this thread.

If that is correct my question is:
How is it possible to use more then 2 connectors with 2 objects? Why do we have 8?
duck is correct about this. Joints can be static or flexible depending on your weapon design. You don't really have to worry about joints until later on (or at all) in the competition though. Using multiple joints between two objects can make their connection stronger (useful if your weapon is light as weapons tend to separate if you swing them too fast in toribash).
