Tsunkatse Tournament
Come one, come all! First Official Tsunkatse Tournament is under way. This is a forum PVP competition, in which you impersonate your favorite Star Trek character and subject him or her to a bout of alien fisticuffs against another person's favorite character. While this is full contact, it's not a fight to the death. This is Federation-sanctioned, which means it's Federation-regulated, so only blue matches.
As the GM, I'll exclude myself from competing. Basically, I'll random roll two numbers, each from 1 to 10. Then each competitor picks a number. The one who gets closest to his random roll gets the hit. If both competitors are even, then both block each other. It's a best 2 out of 3 hits to keep it speeding along.
To make it fun, you can give the type of move with your number. Because, let's face it, who wouldn't want to see Picard giving a flying elbow to Q from the top rope? (In the episode, the polaron disrupters are attached only to the hands and the feet, but let's add them to the knees and elbows too for this tournament.)
It's first come, first serve, so enter your favorite character before someone else does. Otherwise, you'll have to settle for the drunken Nausicaan who sits in the corner of Quark's bar. After so many entries, I'll fix up a bracket. The final victor gets a graphic he or she can add to the signature.
So who wants to play?

(By the way, folks. Let me know if you have a better suggestion for scoring. We could speed it up with a first-hit-win, or slow it down with a best-3-out-of-5. I picked 2-out-of-3 for the middle range.)
/becausehe'sawesome
10chars.
heh, if Picard had been taken I would've chosen Worf.
Good choice.
There it is. I'm almost inclined to call it.
/tournament
But not yet! As Sisko has proven he can hold his own against Worf, as long as Sisko doesn't use the back of his hand. ("Apocalypse Rising" is one of my favs).
The ultimate "Cage" fighter.
Nice. Prey that fights back.
...Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you / Oh, I can hear it callin 'me / I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?...

The Gorn captain has entered the tournament, and boasts an easy victory to come. Will our contestants let this go unanswered?
(FYI: I'm using the voice of Hassan the Undying, as I announce the entrants.)
Uh oh. This is gonna be interesting. Janeway has entered the tourney, carrying with her the reputation of "My way or the highway." Can she turn the manly men into momma's boys? Get your front row tickets and find out!
Welcome to the First Official Ten Forward Tsunkatse Tournament! Hosted by the Federation, and funded by the Ferenginar Consortium, with a...ahem...small amount of proceeds going to the poor orphans on Selnia Prime.
The first contestant hails from the Gamma Quadrant. Always on the run, he knows how to work the odds in his favor. Cunning and crafty, agile and nimble, he is...
Tosk!
Second contestant hails from Qo'noS. A member of the House of Mogh, he exhibits honor and discipline, courage and strength. He takes no prisoners, for he is...
Worf!
Step up gentlemen, and post your combat moves, and give me your number from one to ten.
(See Post #2 for 1st round matchups.)
These two never met in canon. This will be interesting.
*grabs popcorn*
[tlhIngan Hol grammar TRIBBLE](you misspelled Qo'noS, btw.)[/tlhIngan Hol grammar TRIBBLE]
...Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you / Oh, I can hear it callin 'me / I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?...
- Anne Bredon
Isn't it spelled tlhIngan Hohl?
Let me double-check with kli.org, actually...
EDIT: Nope, tlhIngan Hol...
tlhIngan. "tlh" is a single letter.
In Tsunkatse news, it looks like we do battle in the fourth match. Unless you would rather forfeit now and save your frail Human hide.
...Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you / Oh, I can hear it callin 'me / I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?...

Damn, that was a typo. Lemme fix that.
*puts on dunce cap*
<Picard>
No! *shamelessly quotes Henry V in Sir Patrick Stewart's voice*
</Picard>
Bring it, lizard-man.
Hassan, is biting allowed?
...Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you / Oh, I can hear it callin 'me / I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?...
- Anne Bredon
Well, it is Federation-sanctioned, so they might be...displeased with such activity. But hey, it won't disqualify you, so get in your nom noms.
:P
(Edited to add: Dang typos)
The next bout features brains versus brawn. Up first is the brain behind the brainiacs, the protector of the menagerie, the ultra-super-genius...
Talosian Keeper!
His opponent hails from the deep of space, having been born aboard a pirate ship. He wiles away his time sitting in the corner at Quark's bar, getting drunk. Disliked by everyone, his name is unknown. He is...
Drunken Nausicaan!
Talosian Keeper, what is your move and your number from one to ten?
(If you get close your random roll, you get the hit. If you are closer to his, he gets you.)
Talosian Keeper:
Move: Mentally projecting the Nausicaan into a bar scene where a dozen Jean-Luc Picards deliver a series of vengeful, hard-hitting fistcuffs. The Talosian Keeper smiles, knowing the Nausicaan's anger cannot match his earlier adversary, Captain Christopher Pike.
Number: SEVEN.
Talosian Keeper: 1 | Drunken Nausicaan: 0
What's your second move and number?
|Talosian Keeper (RDM ROLL: 9, PICK: 7, DIF: 2)|
|Drunk Nausicaan (RDM ROLL: 4, PICK: 7, DIF: 3)|
Talosian Keeper:
Move: Unwilling to back down (or stop the arrogant smiling), the Talosian Keeper projects another seemingly real scenario at the Nausicaan: a bevy of Orion women who proceed to shout "Vina says HI" while pummeling the Nausicaan into further submission...
Number: Talos FOUR
Talosian Keeper: 1 | Drunken Nausicaan: 1
Talosian Keeper, what is your final move and number selection, 1-10?
|Talosian Keeper (RDM ROLL: 6, PICK: 4, DIF: 2)|
|Drunk Nausicaan (RDM ROLL: 3, PICK: 4, DIF: 1)|
