The Widowed

Listen up. We've been sitting on our butts for a while. We've gotten soft. The big revolution's on its way and getting closer. Meanwhile, we're getting soft. Soft! How are we going to get our own slice of the pie and flips those SPIDER mutts the bird if we're soft? It's time to fix that.
Malice in Wonderland members need to get to the Galaxy City arena, Thursday, 8:00 PM Central. Ruby section, upper level. Don't be late. We won't like you very much if you're late....
For this tournament, we all get busted down till we're all on even footing. That means Weight Classes, of course. And we do things Round Robin. First person on the hot seat, next person, next person.
As you can guess, we're going to do things differently. We're going to do things Bruce Lee style. We're society's undesirables, right? We're criminals. Let's act the part. So the "hot seat" fighter (aka. "Bruce Lee") stands in the middle; The rest of us form a big circle around him or her. I kick things off by calling someone at random out of the circle. That person charges in and attacks the Bruce Lee. If Bruce Lee goes down, that's the end of his match and we exit stage left. If the attacker goes down, whoever was standing to the attacker's left [b]immediately becomes the new attacker, rushes in and attacks Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee doesn't get a chance to rest or anything, you just rush him. This continues until either Bruce Lee goes down or the entire Circle of Death does.
Any attacker who gets defeated by the Bruce Lee may return to the Circle of Death but must kneel or sit (using the appropriate emotes) to indicate that he or she has already been defeated in that match. This should avoid any confusion. Under no circumstances is the Circle to move, and anyone who moves or is knocked out of the Circle is expected to get back into the Circle post haste. This includes Bruce Lee and the present attacker, who ideally should remain in the Circle's confines; If outside the Circle, Bruce Lee should go back inside the Circle immediately upon defeating the attacker, at which point a new attacker will come at him or her.
I'll be keeping track of how many people get taken down by each Bruce Lee. The one who survives the most attackers before going down wins the tournament. In the even of a tie, we'll settle things with a one-on-one duel, or one-on-one-on-one... if three or more contenders tie.
We're often characterized as being villains. Villains are often cheaters and opportunists. Therefore, the use of Inspirations is permitted, encouraged and damn near mandatory. Between matches, everyone will have the opportunity to go downstairs and score more Inspies. Once we're there, we can decide if everyone gets to use Inspirations or just whoever gets to be Bruce Lee that match.
The only catch? No travel powers...or at least not Fly and Hover. We could be standing around all day while waiting for someone to come back down from the rafters. Blasters, be ready to blast Joe Scrapper off his feet before he gets his hands on you, and be quick about it. You can do it if you're good enough....
Rewards? I'll have to speak with Kryo and Hell Minion about this one. A promotion might be in order for the winner. From Goon to Hardcase, or Hardcase to Ringleader. If you're a Ringleader, well, I'm holding one of the Widowed's family pics hostage. Give it back to her (back on Virtue) and she'll give you 50,000 Influence. I've already made this arrangement.
Now sound off, you slimebags.
