Hardlight Tournament Ends with Unexpected Outcome
The most recent Hardlight Tourney concluded with a rather interesting end to the friendly five versus five match in the NOISE dome with the Junction Mechari facing off against the Draken of Dreadtalon.
The intense and fierce battle of skilled warriors, stalkers and slingers went off without a hitch as they clashed in the new point system with each side dishing out the pain in a spectacular performance that ended in a first for the NOISE dome, a draw! Both As the teams were preparing for the tiebreaking showdown the unexpected occurred.
In a sudden and strange occurrence, our participants were locked into the SIM area with there only being one-way in or out. Warning sirens sounded, and the arena fell into a dark red light, as power fluctuated and suddenly the SIM manifested a little Lopp. Witnesses, preparing to fight in the next round, rushed into the fray to join the Draken and Mechari. All prepared themselves for the possible hostility of this small SIM being, only to be taken back when the arena suddenly enlarged it to a greater mass and size, turning it into a monster-murdering machine capable of firing missiles from its ears, laser beams from its eyes and gattling cannons from its hands. It was a Chua’s dream come true; it seemed to most as the participants engaged this Death Lopp.
The combatants fought long and hard against the Death Lopp as they managed to cleave and carve, shoot and shield their way through the Death Lopp to bring down the adorable, shiny hunting monstrosity that had been created before them.
DNN Update: The events surrounding the erratic behavior are under investigation by its owner, Morgan Manelle, as a ‘flawless and safe’ program began responding to the third party. Thankfully the interior safety protocols were in place, and the SIM remained safe. Though the participants and those that aided in the attempt to extraction did find themselves trapped until the SIM scenario was complete.
