CB Training Academy Finals I

"Ladies and gentlemen! Come one, come all to the most spectacular display of talent that anyone has ever seen since Clouded Leopards Spirit Solo Write! Please come right through this gate - go ahead and fill up the stands - that's the way! Allow me to introduce myself. I am St.Owl, the principal of this training academy, along with my tutors Devil Owl - "

"SHOOT THOSE BLASTERS!"
"Feather - "

"Welcome and good luck to all!"
"
And Cú Chulainn."
"Dia dhuit, everyone!"

"Allow me to give you some context. These contestants are recent graduates from our Jedi Training Academy. They've gone through a great many milestones to get to this point, and now you get to see with your very own eyes their Final Test.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Maze."

HOW IT WORKS.

1. Congratulations! You're about to be a graduate of the Jedi Training Academy. All you have to do is get through the Maze. Want to give it a try? Sign up below! AEs and CAPTCHAEs/AECHAs are welcome too, but no CAPTCHAs, please.

2. Your prowess will be determined almost entirely by a randomizer.

3. This will update daily with each student's standing. I will accept FIFTEEN STUDENTS, maybe a few more because I am soft-hearted, who will attempt to complete the Maze. If not enough join, I'll start in two days, on the 11th.

4. This is a game. Not everyone will complete the Maze - in fact, in the end, there will be one singular winner.

5. During your time in the Maze, you will encounter other students. If this happens, you are required to take part in a Lightsaber Fencing Match (inspired by the Jedi Academy books). Nobody dies during this match; if the lightsaber touches you, you are OUT and disqualified from the Maze. The winner of these tournaments are randomized.

6. There are many ways to get OUT, including by Tutor Devil Owl's die rolls. Every three days, Dev will roll his dice to find out what the students must face. This challenges what they have learned in the Academy. The final results of these die rolls will be determined by a randomizer. A maximum of five people can be put OUT during one of Dev's die rolls.

7. During the Finals, you are allowed to write diary entries about what is happening in the Maze as you go along. Minor plot points can be developed in these entries, such as friendships or enemities. If the Tutors are particularly impressed by an entry, the randomizer may be strangely in your favor.

8. At the beginning of the Maze, you only have a lightsaber to help you. However, every day, two random people will recieve some sort of weapon to assist them, which will factor into anything they come across. These weapons include stun blasters, Force concentrators, and small starships.

9. You don't need to know anything about Star Wars to participate! However, if you want to join, but really are not interested in this fandom, good news - this will be a monthly thing, each time a different theme!

10. On the first day, a number of students' paths will cross and lead to an epic lightsaber fencing battle. I'll use a randomizer to determine how many and who will take part in this. A maximum of thirteen people will join in, and a maximum of nine will get OUT.

11. The winner of the Finals gets a personalized graphic made by me celebrating their victory!

"Well? What are you waiting for? Students, line up!

"Are you ready for the journey of a lifetime?"

 

(@Admins: I hope this fits my original idea while being more CB-appropriate!)

Yes, indeed! Thank you.

I'm sorry for the late update! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you!

DAY 4

"THIS IS BORING. CAN'T SOMEBODY WIN ALREADY?" moaned Dev, flopping over the counter as he stared at the remaining students.

"No," said St.Owl firmly, switching on her mike. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Day 4 of the CB Jedi Academy Training Finals! We've got only a few people left, and this obviously shows their impressive use of the skills they've learned here at the Academy. I can't wait to see what the fencing match is today - certainly it will be a fascinating one!"

She snatched the dice out of Dev's limp hand and examined the results of her roll. "We've got the opposite sides of our list facing off today! If you all will direct your eyes towards the Maze -"

The four announcers stared with all the rest as Somebody and The Booksy Baker skidded to a halt in front of each other. "This will be a fascinating fight. These two were both in the first Lightsaber Fencing Tournament, and they each have some pretties up their sleeve. The question is, whose will be victorious?"

Somebody unleashed her lightsaber and, in one swift move, cut The Booksy Baker's hurley in half. "Now it really is evenly matched," said St.Owl. "They've each got only a Force concentrator left."

The two seemed to read each other's minds, lifting themselves into the air simultaniously. As Somebody noticed this, she pulled her concentration of the Force onto herself, letting The Booksy Baker fall. Right before they hit the ground, Cú Chulainn smashed a button that instantly transported them to the end of the Maze. "Well, looks like The Booksy Baker is OUT of the game!"

"IT'S TIME FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF WEAPONS," said Dev dryly. "Roll, roll, roll. Nine. Fun. WAIT - NINE?! NO!"

As he pounded the table, screeching about revenge for Volcano, Cú Chulainn picked up the mike again. "Doublock is wandering down the maze, worrying a bit about how eerily quiet it seems to be. There's a sudden whistling above his head and he jumps back just in time - he was about to be beaned by a dictionary!"

Feather grinned guiltily, quickly moving away from the Weapons Transporter Tube. "Sorry."

Dev rolled his dice again, muttering something about Somebody, but it landed on 13 instead. "RATS!"

"Diovald twirled his blaster around in his hands, keeping his eye out for anything else that might come his way. Suddenly, there's a loud rush of air. He steps back as a starship lands in front of him. Congrats!"

"That's all for today, folks!" St.Owl said. "To recap: Somebody and The Booksy Baker met up today, with the latter being sent OUT. Meanwhile, Doublock and Diovald recieved weapons today. Let's take a look at the updated list!"

2- Somebody (Force concentrator, 1 use)

4- Danie (unlimited food, Always Turn Right)

5- Booksy Owly

9- Doublock (Force concentrator, 1 use; dictionary)

10- Niccolai

13- Diovald (blaster, starship)

14- Random Person (starship)

15- Mirax

 

"That's it! I'll see you all tomorrow for Day 4."
