The crowd in the arena chants out for more action. The roars are deafening as you step out of the tunnel to your entrance song. In front of you is a wrestling ring, but this is no ordinary match. The first-ever Arx Wrestling Pillowfights are underway.

Form an RP team of 2-4 members. How the match is constructed is up to you. Tag team, free-for-all, 3v1, or even 1v1 matches are all acceptable. You could even have a 1v1 with a third person acting as the referee. Have fun with it. The only weapons that can be used are a single pillow per combatant.

Rubric
The RP will be graded following the Fiction Grading Rubric.

Rules

• Teams must have 2-4 members.
• RPs will be run as DMless
• Each Team’s RP must be named using the following convention: “Pillow Fight - [Team Name]” where “Team Name” is a unique name for the team. If we can’t find your RP thread, we can’t grade it!
• For participation credit, members must post a minimum of at least 500 words in their team [IC] RP thread. Members who post less than 500 words total will be disqualified. Posts may be edited as per the Edit Rules below.
• Members may write their alternative characters and NPCs into the RP in addition to their main characters. Snapshots must be provided, and the use of alts/NPCs must comply with all other rules of this competition, but we will not pay any attention to loadouts in grading and realism.
• An author MAY send consecutive messages to complete one coherent “post.” Discord messages cannot exceed 2,000 characters, so multiple consecutive messages may be necessary for long posts – plan accordingly, and be sure to write your posts outside of Discord and copy/paste them into the application if you anticipate them being longer than a few hundred words. For reference, this bulleted list of rules is approximately 2,000 characters long.
• Authors anticipating the need for multiple messages can send placeholder messages that they later edit to fill in with sections of their post, to ensure that others do not interrupt a cohesive post.
• Posts may be edited or deleted at any time, but doing so may disrupt the flow of the RP and negatively impact your Team’s score.
• Teams may also interact with any Brotherhood characters, but please use good judgment when writing other members’ characters.
• Once the RP is closed and processed by the Exarch staff, only one member of the team needs to submit the RP URL to the competition. It will auto-add your teammates.
