Grand Melee

A Grand Melee is held at the end of every three months. The winner of the Grand Melee gets to claim a bloodname.
Next Grand Melee will be held March 25th-31st for the Gohcourt bloodname, maps will be Blood Pit for the Star Melee and NB Bear Trap for the Grand Melee.

Rules of the Grand Melee:
During the last week of the Grand Melee each star will hold its own melee called a “Star Melee” to select their candidate to fight in the Grand Melee.
There must be at least one witness in a camera ship to the Star Melee. The game will be a free for all in a map designated by the Keshik, it will last 15 minutes, and no respawn. Each warrior will bring into the fight their best mech. The last man standing will be declared the winner of the Star Melee and will be a candidate for the Grand Melee. The winner may choose someone else to fight in the Grand Melee instead of them if they wish.

At the end of the week all candidates will fight each other in the Grand Melee.
There must be at least one witness in a camera ship to the Grand Melee. The game will be a free for all in a map designated by the Keshik, it will last 15 minutes, and no respawn. Each warrior will bring into the fight their best mech. The last man standing will be declared the winner of the Grand Melee.
Anyone not present at the time of the melees will be considered MIA at the time and will have to wait until the next melee to be held.

Usages of a bloodname:
A named warrior should refer to themselves using their bloodname in trials and matches. (e.g. “I Johnny#5 Kerenksy challenge you Boomster to a Circle of Equals.”) Also in trials and matches others are to refer to a named warrior using their bloodname. (e.g. “I Boomster accept your challenge Johnny#5 Kerensky.”) A named warrior also is given authority over those in his/her own rank without a bloodname.
However usage of the bloodname may be dropped in “Fast-Pace” mode.
