Week 9 Events (Mid Tier):

-------------

Hotter Than Hell:

-No abilities may be used today.
-During Results/Peacetime, one eliminated player or neutral voter (or an admin if all else fails) will select four mercenaries from the unbought pool, plus any one videogame character of their choice, to participate in a beauty contest against five mercenaries of your own choosing.
-The match that week will not be a battle to the death, but rather a contest to decide who's hotter, decided by impartial judges objectively judging each contestant by the standards of their species and culture (so an alien being would not be held to the standards of humanity but their own culture's).
-Contestants will each have two minutes to show off their gifts to the judges. They may not interfere with each other's performances or attempt to influence the judges beyond presenting themselves favorably.

-------------

Rain, Rain, Go Away:

-During Peacetime, you will select a single mercenary to attempt to clear the Risk of Rain scenario (by defeating all bosses, including Providence).
-The match that week will not be a battle to the death. Instead, voters will be asked whether the chosen mercenary could clear Risk of Rain's scenario by their lonesome.
-The chosen mercenary will be dropped into the Risk of Rain world with only the knowledge of who the next boss they need to defeat is, and the route to follow to reach them. As each boss falls, they will receive the information on where to find the next one and how to reach them.
-Equipment may be acquired as normal in Risk of Rain, but whether the mercenary will do so is up to interpretation.
-Enemies will continually spawn, respawn, and home in on the challenger's location, as seen in Risk of Rain.


The Planet is as it appears in Risk of Rain. Denizens of the Planet will continuously spawn, respawn, and home in on the survivor with relentless fury. Their strength, numbers, and ferocity will increase as the survivor remains on the planet as seen in the game; Difficulty increments every 5 minutes, capping after one hour. The boss order will be Colossus (in the Desolate Forest), Ancient Wisp (in the Damp Caverns), Ifrit, Cremator, Imp Overlord + Scavenger, and finally Providence.

Providence is as he appears in Risk of Rain, with access to all his attacks and techniques. He cannot summon the Gilded Wurms and Sanctuary Guards, and may only summon the Umbra of Providence once. His defense buff will last as long as the Umbra of Providence does.

Re;Birth 3 & 4:

-No mercenaries may be paid down if this fight is chosen. Not via money, not via abilities, not via passives, not via asking the admins very nicely to allow it just this once, nada.

-The challenging player may select battle mercenaries from their group's unbought pool until they have eight rosterable mercenaries, if they so choose. They are not obligated to select mercenaries until they have reached that number.

He is completely immune to all abilities and cannot be stopped from being rostered in any way shape or form. If he is rostered, the battle will take place on his terrain. Good luck.
