Upon entering into the role of Commodore for the Nation of Menks, Dugual has been in a civil works program to provide entertainment for his people. Entertainment breed in blood.

In the New Era of Menks society all is focused on war and death. The peacful times before must be shaken off to produce a race most capable of being an elite fighting force. So now all things, life, love, and luxery are encompassed by the thoughts of war.

The Grand Football Stadium of the North Menks Eagles has been converted into a colessium to the like of ancient Rome. The lush green sod has been replaced by bright sand. The stadium seats are no longer nice padded benches, but are hard stone seats for the people to sit. The point of this conversion? To make numb the people of Menks to the harsh relatiy of death and war. Gladiator battles, fights to the death between mighty warriors are to be staged for public view. Gambling is welcomed to help aid the publics attractiveness.

The first fight will begin shortly.

-----------------------------------------

Message to Nations of interest (your nation if you want to compete):
Greetings my fellow world statesmen. On behalf of his commodore I am Greg Symond, Judicator of the Grand Colessium. We have created within our nation a means of emptying our jails and lower crime all the while providing entertainment for our people. We would like, if you are so interested, to invite you to send your own gladiators to compete within our halls. Keep in mind that battles are to the death with varying conditions for each battle, so your fighters safty and victory cannot always be insured. It is a battle of skill and possibly an excellent forum for nations to have healthy compitions of strength and power without engaging elsewhere. Keep in mind as well that gambling is welcomed. Have a good day.

Map Tsar and Southern Gentleman

The Eastern Empire, within the lower depths of it's labyrinth underworld, has within it a coliseum of monumental proportion from which the Sovereign has used for his own personal entertainment. Warriors from all over the Empire have used the coliseum not only to continue to harden their own abilities during times of peace but also for the purpose of gaining the Sovereign favor. It's an ancient practice in respect to how long the Empire has operated this underground fighting. Though they've never deny it's existence, they have never publicized it either.

Given that in the Dynastian arena, the average warrior had only what foreign stock the Empire had to pit against him, the Sovereign took note of the obvious advantage this could serve to the Empire and decide to allow a select few, to travel to this foreign land and show the rest Asia why Dynastians were the ultimate in Asian power.
-------

Public Announcement
The Eastern Empire has chosen to allow a small delegation of warriors, all of whom have volunteered, to travel to the Menks and participate in these fights. The Empire however does not hold any responsibility to those who will die by their hand nor to the total carnage and mutilation that they will cause to the loser dead body. The Dynastian delegation however, will only participate if they are allow to supply their own weapons for battle.

OOC- Oy you. get to naval preparations in the battle thread. :P :lol:

IC-

In the Grand Colisseum in Guranburg, by far the largest sports complex in the world having been built for the Olympiad, had long been hosting such tournaments, though like the Dynastians, had taken no care to actively advertise.

That said, they sent Big Rolf to represent them in the sport of tiger dueling. He had the current world record for taking on three at once.

Claud steps into the arena from the Western entrance. The crowd roared for the first contestant representing the dominion of Menks.

Massing steped out of the Eastern entrance. He leans down and dust his hands off in the sand then stands up proudly.

"Ladies and Gentleman! Welcome to first match of the first round of the Dominion World Cup. Our contestants stand before you to fight for survival and to represent thier nation. The winner of the cup will be a paragon of his race and will show the glory of his nation. And now, with no furthur ado....BEGIN!!!!" The annocers voice echoed and the colessium is filled with loud cheers.

Claud poses himself in a fighting stance then erupts into a full sprint towards Massing. He closes the distance and starts his assult with a powerful knee to the Corporals stomach.

Watching the match from the special VIP box, surrounded by bodyguards was JRG. The man was an avid lover of blood sport, and this venue proved to be the most popular at the moment. The Colisseum managers did everything in their power to ensure he was happy without seeming desperate, hoping to make sure JRG did not say anything that resembled disappointment to the people who mattered. The man was rumored, after all, to be drinking buddies with the Information Minister, and several high ranking members of the IPIB and DCID. As such, to cross him would be akin to crossing a High Councilor, of which the man was one in everything but name.

JRG paid no attention. He was interested to see who made it to the finals.

OOC- No guesses? Pity.

Background: Otto is a man who trained with the O.N.S. and fought in the Syrian-Ukabanean War. He now travels abroad to help those in need, as well as to personally hone his skills. He comes to the competition hoping to show the superiority of a warrior Schola trained.

The annocers voice echoed and the colessium is filled with loud cheers.

Claud poses himself in a fighting stance then erupts into a full sprint towards Massing. He closes the distance and starts his assult with a powerful knee to the Corporals stomach.

The Champion kick-boxer had been caught in clinch holds thousands of time before, and was hardly impressed by the Menks representative's overwhelming display of hubris. As a champion in the Gileadean "Striking" Championships, he had cross-trained extensively in various forms of striking disciplines such as Savate and Thai Boxing (Muay Thai), and knew his way around an opponent's grasp.

Instead of allowing the brutal knee strike to slam into the center of his exposed belly, Massing "rolled" along with the blow, twisting his hips slightly to allow the knee to glance off his own body. Underhooking his left arm under Claude's right armpit, the experienced fighter also managed to throw his opponent far enough off balance to counter with a punishing right elbow strike to the larger man's head.

A solid *thwack* resounded as the bone of Massing's elbow greeted his enemy's skull, and was soon followed up by a flurry of speedy footwork which bore the smaller man several paces away from his opponent's grasp.
