The September Challenge

[JStarr]

It's simple. We don't need a backstory, we don't need promos, none of that. What we need is one kind of match, one that doesn't get seen all that much around these parts.

War Games.

If you come from under a rock, it's two teams of five in a double-ring match, both rings covered by one cage. One man from each team starts, and every five minutes (if anyone would like to correct me on the interval, please do, but Wiki did not specify), one team gets another man in the match. Once all ten are in, a team needs to get one of their opponents to submit to win.

We can go straight fantasy on this one, as two teams from different eras may compete...but each team must consist of wrestlers from the same time period. So, the 1986 Four Horsemen (plus Lex Luger) could face the HHH/X-Pac/New Age Outlaws/Chyna vintage of D-X, but no throwing Magnum TA and the Undertaker, for example, on the same team.

Entries will close this Friday afternoon, and I'll choose 12 competitors then. Deadline for entries will be September 26th. If you're in between diaries and have never had a chance to do War Games, here's a chance to practice.

Can the WarGames still be under 'WarGames Rules' and still happen in this cage. Or does it have to be in the steel cage?

[FireDoughnut]

So do we sign-up? Or do we suggest the match we want to write and you pick?

You didn't explain that overly well.

[JStarr]

The fact that War Games is bolded up there and I went to the trouble of explaining the War Games rules seems like a pretty good explanation to me.

So, yes, signups are going on for anyone who wants to write a War Games match.

[FireDoughnut]

Sorry, I meant do we have to reveal the teams that we want to include? Or do we just say... "I'm in."

*cough*

I'm in.

[Downward Spiral]

Count me in for this. Expect a novish-ish entry of law-to-middling quality from someone who has no familiarity whatsoever with War Games beyond Lethal Lockdown

[Sir Alan LCSugar]

I'd like to give it a shot.

[HailtotheYo]

meh .... seeing as how I've got one coming up and all I guess that means I'm in.

[Essa]

I'm in.

Who suggested this brilliant War Games idea Starr? Because it truly is a stroke of genius.

[450_Splash]

Never done a WarGames match before...I'll give it a go

[HailtotheYo]

For some reason, I'm remembering the time interval being as such:

First two men went at it for 5 minutes .... then, the first person came in. After that, they came in every two minutes.

A quick check and the 1998 WarGames tells me I'm correct.

Actually, I withdraw.

[Kiss 2 Kill]

I'm bored so I'll give it a shot.

[MDP]

I guess, pile on more work for me .

No, the teams can most def be kept a surprise.

A man of staggering intellect, who also, if his reputation precedes him, has an immense penis. Not that anyone's concerned with that...*waits for Katsuya to wander in*

Excellent. Two minutes between entries should be short enough for people not to pull their hair out...I hope.

[Sousa]

I want in.

You want me in.

I have an idea.

...it isn't WCW.

[Thrilla]

I suppose I could do this instead of starting WCW'91 up again, as a WarGames match was on the horizon there. Yeah, count me in.

[Guest X-Sat]

I'd like to try if thats ok.

[Man Behind the Mask]

I’d also be keen to give this a go, please.
