1. Go through the thread. See what these participants are doing. Don't vote for your favourite character but rather vote for the person who is displaying the best style in combat, be it in victory or in defeat.
2. Take your time to vote - don't rush.
3. Don't post on the threads.
For the contestants:
1. Modding will be a minimum in these threads but do expect surprises!
2. You can use any powers, moves, weapons associated with your character - just remember that victory won't be the result of the outcome of the battle but it will be dependant on your STYLE.
3. Self voting is allowed but not appreciated. In the case of a tie, if you voted yourself, but the opponent didn't you lose the contest.
And just an example of what you can and cannot do here:
Acceptable: Goku summoned all the energy from the nearby organisms building up an enormous mass of energy. He then directed this onto ... Y
Not acceptable: Goku summoned the energy, threw on Bilbo's head and killed him.

Fumes ooze out gently out of the boggling mess known as the Marsh of the Festering Dead. Hardly a reassuring name. Two figures walk out of the shadows each with the intent of defeating the other and taking control of the arena.
Darth Vader, sith lord and Gandalf the Grey great mage. The two step forward, not more than two metres apart. Direct eye contact and gusts of wind blow some of the fumes away. Time to ...
Gandalf peered pensively his opponent, Vader, from under the brim of his hat. Smiling, he said, "May the best wizard win, Vader." He lunged backwards 5 meters, and shot twin fireballs from the tip of his staff, aimed at Vader from the left and the right.
Gandalf ducked just under the light saber, and jumped sideways out of the way. He raised his staff towards the trees above, and formed a shower of poisonous needles in a 3 foot radius, coming down at Vader.
Being released form the rope, Gandalf quickly regained his breath, and saw as the sith lord was not as focused on him, but more on the approaching shadows. Not being able to see anything, Gandalf lit the tip of his staff with an illuminating light, and stood at the ready, saying, "This should make things more interesting. I suppose our personal duel shall be put on hold temporarily."
OOC: 7 days should be good. Doesn't look like many have voted yet for it to be considerable, though.

That being thought, he began walking to the left of where Vader was walking, keeping his barely lit staff out in front of him.
OOC: G&E, we got one...vote......maybe you should open it up again?
I think I'll add a new thread with polls at a later point.
