King of the Keep - the first /r/opensouls3 Community event

So I had a fairly simple idea for a community event today. Organized tournaments take a lot of time to setup and I wanted something sooner, (although those tournaments will come, just again, they take a lot of time).

So, the idea is "King of the Keep", a profoundly corny name that implies a "King of the Hill" mode. Here's how it will work:

Location: Farron's Keep (up top)

SL: 120-130

Platform: PC / PS4 Alternating

Password: kotk

Times: Fridays at 5pm EST (STARTING TODAY) (Midnight GMT), can be viewed live here

This week's modifiers: none

Objective: To beat as many people as possible in random consecutive duels (healing in between is allowed). When the previous record is matched (base of 8 wins if reset), participants will duel me or some other appointed tryhard. If we lose, the winner keeps going as the new record holder. Overall scores reset every two months, on the second Friday of every second month. This gives PC and PS4 users 4 chances each.

People will be randomly summoned. Its entirely possible you won't get a chance if there are too many people, which sucks, but there is no other fair way to do it. People will not be summoned twice per day unless everyone has had a chance.

Current King of the Keep will get special flair (I have it on temporarily) and have their name in the sidebar until they are ousted or the new month begins.

Both players let each other know they are ready to fight by gesturing. Bonus points for Point Down.

PC / PS4 Alternating:

Because this goes in two month cycles, each platform will have four separate attempts at the minimum. The first week will be PC, the second PS4, the third PC, and so on and so forth. I can't really run two platforms at once, and running this multiple times a week myself sounds like it would get fairly tiring.

Let me know if you guys have any questions!

First victor: u/Knight_King_Rendal with 14 wins in a row
