"Welcome sportsfans, to Rubberduckistans Gaddafy Duck-Stadium. Paticipants of various nations across the NS world have gathered here, to pit their skills in this all-out martial arts competition. I´m your host, Ivan "Siberian Hound" Borga."

"And I´m your co-host Vladimir Kuljagin. This event is shadowed by increased tensions in Outer Oceania, and various countries cancelled their participation because of the crisis. Also few nations boycotted Rubberduckistan, quote. "For its tarnished human-rights situation." Unquote.
Well, let me tell you all the do-gooders out there. Vice-Premiere Duck Tzu is doing his best to increase the Glasnost and Perestroika, but you can´t eat them. If some selfish criminal scum steals from people, he deserves the gulag...."

"Whoa! Take it easy Vlad. This is a sports event for World Peace and Brotherhood. No need to start spouting Party-line in live TV-show."


"Sorry. Ah, here comes the first competitors to Arena. Pwnican Alec Mitton, and Pethyrs Egyegy Hound."

"That Egyegy looks like he´s going to tear Mitton apart. Is he.....growling?"

"Right! Referee gives the order to start, and Egyegy starts without futher ado with mighty kick. Mitton dodges and slams thunderous right straight to Egys jaw sending him staggering!"

"Egyegy is shaking his head, trying to see straight. Both fighters circle and trade puches and kicks. Mitton surely got a headstart..pardon the pun, there."

"Mitton starts pressing with agressive combination of punches, trying to get through Egyegys defenses. Egyegy pins his arms and headbutts thrice, giving Mitton a bloody nose."

"Mitton is trying to break from close combat, but Egyegy presses his attack, forcing Mitton to be continuously on defense. Oh my Rubberduck, there goes in right, left, right, left hook. Mitton is going down. Referee breaks the fight."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a first winner of Elimination Rounds. Egyegy Hound of Pethyr. Stay tuned, we´ll be back after the commercials."

:Martial Tag:

"Welcome back folks to the Gaddafy Duck-Stadium, and to First NS Martial Arts Worldchampionships. This is your host, "Siberian Hound" Borga."

"And Vlad Kuljagin. Our next fighters are.....President Sergei Ilyanov from Island of Rose, and Bryan McCallahan from Fascist Scotland. Here they are arriving now to the arena."

"President sure looks fit for his age, and agile. I predict this one to be close."

"McCallahan is younger, and more muscular, but maybe the old fox has more tricks in his sleeve than we know?"

"And here´s the signal to start! Fighters start with caution, neither one wanting to commit the first attack, just probing defenses. Ilyanov feints with his hands, McCallahan ducks, Ilyanov lashes out mean looking roundhouse kick that scores McCallahan to shoulder. McCallahan takes the hit calmly."

"Yet more probing action by both fighters, but President seems to have gained confidence from last exchange. McCallahan turns the heat on, and attacks with vicious combination of kicks and punches, Ilyanov tries to counter but is pressed back by relentless torrent feets and fists....Holy Cow!
Jump spinning kick hits Ilyanov squarely on chest, sending him to the ropes...."

"President bounches from the ropes, McCallahan goes for the KO punch....
What´s this? President manages to slam sidekick in, as McCallahan lunges..."

"I think that one broke few ribs.... McCallahan shows no sign of pain, he continues his attack with lightning quick jab, jab, cross, uppercut combination."

"President blocks them, and jumps in slamming his elbow directly to McCallahan temple..... Ilyanov continues with roundhouse kicks to McCallahans thighs and knees.....McCallahan steps in and counters with quick left-right combo...."

"President shoots in while McCallahan tries to hit him to head....and fighting goes to the ground, Ilyanov scrambling for mount. He is raining torrent of blows to McCallahans head and body, while Mc is trying to protect himself..."

"McCallahan is desperately trying to get out of the situation, while blows continue to rain on him. Oh....now they both try to go for submission hold, Mc manages to pin left arm of Ilyanov. Oh my....Ilyanov counters, he gets armlock in. He tighens the grip. McCallahan is trying to get out...he tries to reach the ropes. Ilyanov puts more pressure to elbow....McCallahans elbow is in unnatural position. Referee breaks the combat, and President Ilyanov is winner by techical knockout."

"Will be back, after few more words from our sponsors. Stay tuned."

*le bump! Will write Round 3. After gathering a bit of inspiration*

OOC: You do not mess with the ninja! NINJA TAG! And now for some IC fun...

Rosians throughout the world cheered. Their President won the first fight. Though he would have to win more, but I mean, he's a Rosian, how can he lose?

"Good morning from sunny Gaddafy Duck-Stadium, I´m your host "Siberian Hound." Unfortunately Vladimir is sick today, due the fact he spent last night celebrating the President Ilyanov´s victory with vodka and caviar. His wife had put Antabus in his coffee earlier, but doctors tell me that he will recover.
Meanwhile, lets enjoy todays spectacle.
Today we witness team match, Hamptonshire vs. Nova Hope. And here come the fighters.....
Hamptonshire is represented by Patrick Leahy, Kyle Albertsson, and Andrew Matthias. Solid looking team, with excellent groundfighting skills. So our observers from local dojo tell us.

Nova Hopes fighters eye menacingly their opponents, and exchange taunt or two. Teams leader Hyobe Kamigawa is from traditional martial arts background, "Dutch" van Nieuw comes from boxing discipline, and Beverly "Black Widow" Brown is solid all-around mixed martial arts student.

The decision to fight this match as team fight has caused major controversy here, and some of the more vocal opponents condemn it as "downgrading noble sport to a gladiatorial contest." Earlier today, the RMAF represtive Svetlana Coreva, explained the decision with heightened tensions in Outer Oceania. Quote: "Rubberduckistan wishes not to place any competitor to undue danger, should this crisis escalate into war." Unquote.

Referee signals the start and fighters start circling for good attack position.
Kamigawa and Leahy start with trading of kicks to the legs, while Dutch opens up big barrage of punches, but is taken down by Albertsson. Matthias tries to shoot in, but Brown counters with kick to the.......I´ll let you use your imagination, followed by quick barrage of punches to back of the head.

Kamigawa hits Leahy with solid hook kick to head, but Leahy shakes it off and counters with quick left-right-elbow combination, continuing with o-soto-gari throw. Kamigawa drags badly balanced Leahy down, and both are rolling on ground, trying to get on mount.

Albertsson is using van Nieuws groundfighting inexperience for full advantage.
He is slippery weasel, and Dutch just can´t seem to get hold of him. Those punches Albertsson land don´t do much damage to muscular Dutch, but force him to remain in defense.

Brown continues to punish Matthias who is trying to protect himself. Matthias is throwing few half-hearted punches, but all his steam seems to be gone. Brown grabs his arm and goes for arm-bar. Twisting the arm like there is no tomorrow, she forces Matthias to tap out.

.....To be continued. :)

OOC: I would like to note my two representatives represent two different governments and wouldn't be on a team, in fact, they would rather fight each other.

[OOC] Dammit.

OOC: La la la, I hope I get more attention in my next match, and is there a chart? That shows who won and who lost...

methinks i'll [tag] this

TAG of excitement.

@Island of Rose. I´ll put one up. :)

This Board will be updated as I continue to play through more matches.

"Right folks, back to buttkicking buziness! Kamigawa and Leahy trade blows on the ground, Leahy having Guard on Kamigawa. Leahy drags Kamigawa down, trying to get chokehold from him. Kamigawa counters with headbutt followed by nasty elbow to temple. Leahy is bleeding from eye-brow, but manages to grab the ring-rope, and referee breaks the fight.
They start circling again, Kamigawa throwing low kicks to Leahys legs, making them swelling. Leahy blocks and counters with right hook followed by takedown. As they fall, Leahy slams his elbow against Kamigawas face....is that teeth I see? Referee, steps in and by TKO, winner is Patrick Leahy."

Go Leahy!

Come on Albertsson!

"And welcome for third match of the three fighter team fight. Albertsson and van Nieuw continue their bout, after heated fighting in ground, where Albertsson dominated."

"Fighters start again, probing. Quick double jab by van Nieuw. Albertsson throws low side kick to van Nieuws knee. Van Nieuw is trying to keep his face, and not to show pain, he tries to protect his left leg."

"Albertsson tries to demolish van Nieuws defenses with his kicks. Van Nieuw blocks the kicks.....Oh my Rubberduck, that roundkick hit van Nieuws elbow.
Both roll on the ground, Albertsson holding his instep, and van Nieuw his elbow."

*Commercial break, and short demonstration by Rubberduckistans Quack Kwon Do- Team.*

"Doctors report broken instep by Albertsson, and nerve damage in van Nieuws elbow. Technically the match is draw, but since there are no draws in Rubberduckistan Pankration Fights, we evoke the old "Klimax"-rule, where fighters strike each other by turns, and are not allowed to block or dodge.
Stay tuned."

"Ladies and gentleman. I have urgent message from our news agency Itar-Duck."

"Today, August 28th, our beloved motherland, Workers Paradise of Rubberduckistan is at war with Borman Empire. Without any provocation from
our part, they have cowardly attacked across our borders. I am hereby ordering full mobilization, and asking all the foreign dignitaries to leave the country, since we can not guarantee your safety. May God help us in this dark hour. Signed: Vice-Premiere Duck Tzu."

"I am told that all participants receive 10 million$ prize for their efforts and participation in this fine event. We may continue this, after we have settled our scores with Borman Empire, and paved it into parking lot.
This is "Siberian Hound". Good night, and God bless our brave soldiers."

(ooc: I got sneak attacked by Borman Empire and Freudotopia. So secret it was that I knew it after 4 days the thread was up. Pretty pathetic attack though.)
