The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

The Tri-Foundation Tournament

maybe he's tryting to help Matty out of his predicament... if that's the case, then he can't be pure evil... What does the will say about the loss of the stores through a disaster, such as a tornado?' he asked Matty. "They will have to be rebuilt, although they are insured, luckily. and I still have to work for the 3 months, that doesn't change it." Matty replied. It will take 6 months to a year before the stores can re-open. " "So you can make up with Trixy" Stripetail said to him...

Then a report comes in over the 7 locations on the news "After the disappearances of the 7 stores the land caved in and found 7 tunnels all leading inside to one point under the city some sort of cave and each tunnel ends with a stone door with empty slots, the mayor ordered that the stores to not be rebuilt in these locations. till feather notice the rebuilding of the 7 book stores will be on hold and relocation" the reporter said standing in front of the door.

Wayne stared at it "Erm ok... what the chances that all 7 stores was located on 7 entrances to some central place sealed by 7 stone doors?" Wayne looked at Stripetail

"And it seem to be a chain of events that lead to the buildings being delayed being built or even relocated making the will invaild cause it was for the buildings in those locations only not re-location plus all the books are gone as well. it seem to be working for Matty's life with Trixy" Wayne said to him

I don't know... we'll have to find out. Go through your books and see if you can find anything about hidden chambers below the town."

"I think I came up with something about a 7 stone door seal to a temple once but the temple is unknown. only the words about the doors are in the book about 7 gems that fit in each of the stone doors. wait a minute that the stones in the cup for the tri-foundation tournament" Wayne said taking the book out that he had on him and a picture of the cup "see what I mean each gem is around the cup"

So, if you get the cup.. you can open those doors.." Stripetail said slowly..."What are you guys talking about?' Matty asked, confused.

"Where all 7 stores was Matty there tunnels below and lead to one central one but the 7 stone doors need 7 gems one in each of them and all in the cup. the only problem is the tri-foundation tournament cup is now under lock and key till the finals over a timer lock" Wayne said looking at Stripetail and told Matty.

So the only way, you can open the doors.. is to win the tournament and the cup..." Matty said, and both he and Wayne looked at Stripetail. "If you want to find out what the chamber holds, Stripetail, then you'll have to win the tournament.."Matty said to him.

"Well one of us, Bahumut, Lurna and of us that family of very close friends telling the importances of the cup will get us all motived to try and win it" Wayne suggested to Stripetail.

You are right Wayne, if one of us win, then we'll find out together what is secreted in the chamber. We do need the motivation,  but I have plenty of motivation already. My reputation is on the line Wayne.. a reputation that I have built upon for ages, and if I do poorly, I will do great damage to it"Stripetail replied. "Nonsense, Stripetail, If you lose it will not be because you are slipping, but rather because you are overdue for one" Matty said. "I think I'll enter myself. I have no illusions that I have any chance of winning... but since I am free for the moment, I nmay as well take the plunge... It beats sitting around and doing nothing..." He said to them...

"If you lose Stripetail it shows you need to improve in some locations and show where the mistakes are, everyone has to lose sometime, it the only way they can truly learn to not make a equal mistake then last time." Wayne said to him "I am going to try my best but if I lose I lose thats that." Wayne smiled

"At the beginning but they kept it quiet" Wayne told Stripetail

"This is one of 9 in the forest zone and the largest of the 9. each zone is in groups of 11. with 9 arenas in each the primary arena is not a zone cause of the only one there. the very first and last 4 matches will be played there" Lenxic explained to Tanner "Once I checked everything is going well you'll be in charge of the secirty of the whole planet. that people and statues." Lenxic told him

"the most important tournament statues are held outside and inside the primary arena. if you like to at any time before I leave you can check them out" Lenxic smiled

So you fancy holding up the cup at the end Wayne?' Stripetail smiled. "As a friend i wish you the best of luck. As a possible opponent, however, I have to keep myself from being distracted, if I face you. It is virtually certain that I will face one of my friends as an opponent at some point, and I have to set aside my connections to them, at least for the duration of the duel... Thats simply how you will have to operate, Wayne, just because your opponent is a friend, doesn't mean they will go easy on you. This tournament has over 20000 participants, and everyone wants to win..."
