Alright so now that I have been given approval to submit this with the new section I will go ahead and do so. I am copying this directly from the email I sent so if it gets screwed up then I am sorry.
The Recruitment Posters
"Woot!" "OMG's!!!" "lolololololololololol"
I woke up early at noon thinking that a group of spammers had raided the homes of the aristocrats nearby. I grabbed my sword and went outside barefoot in a hurry to see what was going on, when I saw that the commotion was coming from the Aristocrats themselves for some odd reason. I saw that many of them were out on the streets holding up flyers. I looked at the walls on the sides of the street and saw they were almost painted over with these things. So I grabbed one up to see what was so interesting as to gain more information about it. At first glance it looked like a recruitment poster to become a moderator, but as I read through it I found out it was a recruitment poster for a tournament to become a moderator. Either way I was confused as the mods typically have whats called a...I think its called a "don't ask, don't tell" policy or something like that, and on top of that for a while they have claimed to a wheel of moderation that they would spin in order to choose the next moderator, though for a while I never believed in this wheels existence, it still baffled me that they would have a competition, but I did not dwell on it for too long as I, like many others always craved to become a moderator, though for myself it was about gaining the moderator powers before anything else so I could take matters into my own hands, though of course many others would say the same. On top of that I figured that I could learn something there including why they are holding this competition in the first place. So I went back into my house, grabbed my boots, my cloak, and some mini-bell peppers in case I get hungry. On top of that I figured I should come prepared for anything so I grabbed up my map of the secret underground tunnels within the Armorlands, and my guide on how to properly speak with others in the ArmorCity(including how to properly quote another person, how to emphasize what you are saying, and how to show others an art piece though its ironic that someone who is not very social wrote a book about how to be social) So once I had everything I thought I might need. I looked at where the flyer said to meet. It said that the there would be some sort of ceremony in the amphitheatre on August the 6th. I realized just then that people were freaking out over something that was not to start for nearly another two weeks or so. I opened up my map of the ArmorCity that was a replica of the one made by Strop. I saw that it was on the outside of the central ring of the city, close to many of the other areas I tend to visit such as the community hall, and imaginarium. Its odd that I could not remember how to get there, but whatever the case is, I set out to the amphitheatre so as to see what type of preparations were currently in order for this competition...
Preparations are in order
I walked to the great Arena expecting a crowd of people signing up to compete. I saw some signing up, but most just watched not interested in competing.. When I got there it was obvious though that there would be quite a bit of competition, and there were still many who wanted to sign-up. I saw a few familiar signatures on the list already, though some more that I have never seen before. I figured that it would be a good idea that since I had 2 weeks that I would make the best of it. I came back after the sign-up was closed and looked at the list. I copied it down on a small piece of parchment, and through the two weeks made sure to do two things. Through the first week I...researched the competition studying them, trying to figure out what they do and how they act so as to have an edge on them. Then the second week trained my own skills. Swordsmanship being my top priority training myself to swing faster, become more agile while wielding a blade, and most importantly how to fight each person with or without his sword if necessary. On the day before the competition I gathered everything together, again along with the information I had gathered on any possible opponents I may need to face during this competition. I didn't know what the competition held for me, or whether or not I would even need to fight anyone, but if I did then I was confident that I was prepared for it. After all I had knowledge, and knowledge is power as many say...
