Hello FIRESIDERS! Hope you're all in the swing of things, looking forward to BOTB. As always, I'm pretty damn proud of you lot, so here's some more goodies for another XHF global show.
What is Call to Arms?
Call to Arms is a one-night five-on-five team tournament comprised of elimination falls count anywhere matches. It's also based in Philadelphia this year, where we are! If a member of your team is eliminated, they're not back for the next round. Last team standing wins five passes to Overheated (which btw we're hosting so please give me more reasons to brag about how wonderful you all are), giving them a fast track to the X-Crown as they only need to win their match there to enter the X-Crown match at XHF Night of Champions.
What is the X-Crown?
Dating back to 2003, the X-Crown is the top championship in the XHF. It’s actually made of 22 championships that no longer exist. Winning the Crown is considered a serious honor and means you are the top dog in the entire federation, especially if you win the Rumble. Seriously, it's got history and probably the best marker of actually being the damn best.
What is the RP window for the Rumble?
May 22nd to June 4th (which lines up a bit with BOTB, but...)
How many RPs is it?
...it's only one RP! Each team member gets one unlimited words RP. I advise you that writing something short is not going to do you or your teammates any favors. Creativity, storytelling, and good writing do get you further than raw quantity, but spell-check and grammar are also your friends.
How many teams are there?
At least ten!
What’s the point in entering if I’m (probably) going to lose?
1) You get more eyes on your work as a large majority of the Network is reading these roleplays. It’s a great stock boost for you to get your name out there.
2) You can RP against/with characters from other companies. See someone writing one of your favorite characters and they’re not from FIRESIDE? Here’s your chance to mix it up with them. Personally, I'm looking forward to dropping some cool lines and mixing it up against some of you, because again, I am your biggest fan.
3) You could set yourself on the path to win the Crown!
4) You may earn one of these cool incentives.
What are the incentives?**
1) Enter and make it to the next round*: you’ll receive a match in the future against any active FIRESIDER of your choice, only excluding the current world champion.
2) Make it to the third round*: earn incentive #1 and a match against incentive #2 earners to fight them in a match for a world championship shot.
3) Your team wins the whole thing: you'll advance to the X-Crown qualifiers at Overheated, where if you win, you're in the big one at NOC on July 25th.
4) Please note: in the event FIRESIDE does not win CTA, we will be sending one of the people who entered the event as our X-Crown rep at Overheated.
*For these incentives, your character, not your team, has to make it through. No free rides.
**If you already have an incentive-based world championship match, you will be excluded from incentive #2.
How are you making it easier?
1) Strych and I are helping build teams! Team FIRESIDE is currently in assembly and may be done being built, but we are also building a second team. Get in touch with us and we may field two FIRESIDE teams, or a team of FIRESIDERS and an outsider or two. Any FIRESIDERs who enter CTA, regardless of team, qualify for incentives. Message either of us and we'll get you on a team (or you can build one on your own.)
Where do I sign up?
Click here to visit the sign-up thread (It closes May 21st).
What if I still don’t want to do it?
That’s fine! We're about to hit a wide stretch of time where things are very open booking wise (after BOTB). I understand this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. There are no penalties for not participating and you’ll still have access to fun, cool spots, and title opportunities. We've actually cut down on incentives this time around to make things more fair to people like you.
What if I’m in a different company and want these opportunities for myself?
Get in touch! I’ll extend these incentive opportunities out to people who show a reasonable interest in FIRESIDE pre-CTA.
What if you didn’t answer my question?
Post below or message me!
Thanks,
Caff
