The Tournament is a brutal game for only the strongest & smartest, and may god be on your side if you
wish to succeed in this contest. Every month, groups are sent a message via a white crow, with a mes
sage inside, and a map leading to the building that hosts this unruly contest.

“Hello, insert group name here,
I cordially invite you to The Tournament, a competition based around wit and strength. If you are confi
dent your ability to fight the undead, then I offer you a challenge. Bring one of your best combatants to
this tournament to battle against the zombified, and in return, if you win, I will give you a prize. If you
don’t, well, better luck next time. Come one week after receiving this message, and the game shall
commence at nightfall. Best of luck to all future competitors of The Tournament.
— The White Crow. ”

To play the game, you must post about your character of choice going to The Tournament, and you are
allowed and encouraged to have your character interact with others. After that, a mod will post the
commencement of the first stage of the tournament, in which The White Crow (who is never seen, lea
ving others constantly wondering who this person is) releases tier one zombies into the department st
ore. Your characters can begin to roleplay fighting with these zombies, and after a certain amount of
time a mod will post again, announcing who made it past stage one, with those who didn’t make it fo
rced to leave the store. If you don’t make it past a stage, you can still roleplay with others who didn’t
make it, but you no longer qualify to win the prizes. This continues until you reach stage four, and aft
er that two characters are announced the winners, and you are awarded special prizes that cannot be
found anywhere else. Once the two characters are announced winners, The Tournament is over.

The building itself is a large department store, with multiple levels to the building. Due to The Tourn
ament starting at night, the place is lit up with various large torches, and scattered amongst the place
is different types of weaponry. There are steel doors on the second floor that you cannot open, and
that door is where the zombies are released. You can occasionally see a few white crows fly about.
