Posting on behalf of DJM Arania Lawakiro:

Kaiann sat in his office, tapping his fingers in an annoyed fashion. "So we are entering diplomatic relations with a small kingdom, and the Counsil is expecting their delegates. And since they are decadent bastards, they want entertainment. This means we need something to entertain them and at the same time show them our qualities as Dark Jedi. Yet, they don't want to see the good old battles we usually show visitors." Annoyance showed in his voice, and Arania, sitting opposite him, could see why. Ever since the Independence Games, things like such were left to him. Which was usually not a problem, but the SA had required a lot of work lately.

"To top it off," Kaiann grumbled and shot an angry look at the woman, "you show up here and tell me you have an idea. And I bet that as usual, this idea requires time on my part and a lot of explaining on yours."

Arania raised her eyebrows. He was exaggerating, but it couldn't be denied that a lot of the practical data related work was left to him lately. "Actually, I am here because I think I know how to solve your problem."

Kaiann took a deep breath, about to ramble on, then he stopped and blinked. "Solve my problem?"

"Yes, you see, I've been practicing jumps and turns lately..." Kaiann nodded. He had heard about and actually seen her process in that area. Or lack thereof. "Well, why not make a competition out of it? Jedi acrobatics. You grab the training hall of your choice, which is easy to do in the ACC settings, and then compose a program to show to our visitors. Jumps, turns. Precise landings on roofs, poles and whatever. Every Jedi gets 2 minutes in different halls each to show off to our visitors. They can freely chose the hall, of course it would be good if it was a custom hall and not the same old boring Death Star and Bespin settings. A judge would then be assigned to watch, of course, and give points to the participants. The participants, of course, could tell the judge exactly where to stand in the hall so they'd not miss anything."

Kaiann didn't say a thing for a while but kept staring at her. "I like the idea," he finally said slowly. "And more, I will actually take part in it."

Now Arania blinked in irritation. "If you take part, then who will be the main judge?" The moment she said it, she knew the answer. "Why, you, of course, since you've suggested it," Kaiann said with an innocent smile that would have almost been believable. "You wouldn't want to take part anyway, seeing how you keep jumping to pits that..."

Arania blushed and jumped up. "Alright, I get it. Fine. When will those visitors arrive?"

"In 3 weeks. Enough for you to find more judges and prepare everything." Kaiann seemed relieved to have pushed off the whole affair onto her. "And people better start practicing immediately."

Rules are basically in the story, but to clarify - you are to chose different maps in either JO, JA or JK. JO preferred because there are judges for it. Then you can create your own show program containing of jumps, sommersaults, landings on difficult places etc. You will have 2 minutes on each map. Preferably you will be the one hosting, so you won't encounter any lag. The judge will be watching from a point you need to chose.

Participants will be grouped (number depending on participation). Anytime you are ready between now and the 30th of November, you can mail a judge to view (mails will be given soon). The top acrobats will proceed to the final round in December, unless there are less than 10.

People asked if the movie recording option can be used. Yes it can. You may of course also use your saber but no other weapons. If you find someone to do it, you can even have someone else standing there for you to do saber throws at.

Medals will be the usual suspects plus a bonus for the final round yet to be determined.
