All games will be 24hr, 6 player Terminator. No round limits.
One year Premium to the winner
[spoiler=background]Now Magic Users are an irritable bunch and can be quite vindictive. While the true Mage likes winning, and big breakfasts that last for hours - not necessarily in that order. What any wizard worth the name really, really likes, is someone else to lose. The more powerful the they are the more pronounced this characteristic becomes.
As apprentices you may focus mainly on your rivals, but as you advance to Wizzard and Adept and your power and waist-line grow, you care less and less who you kill.
As Mages you are all powerful and have no rivals, none you will admit to be worthy of your special attention anyway. But occasionally, in a bout of nostalgia for your younger and slimmer days, you will deign to swat an old enemy. though it is hardly worth the trouble.[/spoiler]

The Quest
PART 1 - Apprentice
You are Apprentices, just begining your journey to greatness - you will explore your homeland and get your first taste of magic.
[spoiler= maps for apprentices]You will each play one game on Midgard, Midkemdil of Tamriel[/spoiler]

PART 2 -Wizzard
You are now a Wizzard, you have your own pointy hat with stars on, and your confidence has grown - you set out to explore new lands and encounter opponents both old and new.
[spoiler=maps for Wizzards]you will each play 2 games, (sent together) one each on the 2 maps you haven't yet explored[/spoiler]

PART 3 - Adept
You are now an Adept and your powers have grown enough that in the final rush to become a mage you will re-explore all three lands.
[spoiler= maps for adepts]you will each play three games (sent together) one on each map[/spoiler]
[spoiler=games for adepts][bigimg]http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc423/niall13/Colour%20of%20Magic/CoMAdeptsscheduleall130vfinalRes.png[/bigimg][/spoiler]
******************************************************************************************
[spoiler=your rival colour]The rivals come in pairs, the pairs are:-
RED and GREEN
BLUE and YELLOW
PINK and CYAN
So if Red kills Green, Red gets extra points. If Green kills Red, Green gets extra points.
The same applies for the other 2 pairs[/spoiler]
[spoiler=points for the quest]Points for Apprentices
1 point for a kill
1 point for a win
+2 points for killing your rival colour
Points for Wizzards
1.5 points for a kill
1 point for a win
+1.5 points for killing your rival colour
Points for adepts
2 points for a kill
1 point for a win
+1 point for killing your rival colour

[spoiler= points table and players for the quest][bigimg]http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc423/niall13/Colour%20of%20Magic/CoMpointstablev16.png[/bigimg][/spoiler]
[spoiler=in the event of a tie]The first tie break will be a count of the number of times you have killed your rival colour.
Next it will go to a comparision of the most kills of any colour then the second most kills all the way down to the least kills of a colour.
Example: Player A & Player B ( both red )
Player A has killed 4 green, 4 yellow, 3 blue, 2 pink, 1 cyan
Player B has killed 4 green, 4 blue, 2 yellow, 2 pink, 2 cyan
The tie is broken at the third comparison - where Player A has killed 3 blue to Player B's 2 yellow
Player A wins.
If it is still tied all the way to the least number of kills of a colour. Then I will conclude that you are just being annoying and you will be exiled to the Dread Darkness of The Dungeons of Draknor from whence only one will emerge alive.
You will play a tie break game on Draknor - Level 1 : Sequential/Auto/Esc/Ch/Fog[/spoiler]
The Final Battle
Mage
You are now Mages and have defeated your rivals in your school of magic - pausing only for a 3 hour breakfast - you travel to The Discworld ( the home of magic) to battle the Mages of the other 5 colours for the title of Archmage.
[spoiler=Mage Battle]The 6 Mages will play 2 games on the Discworld map
The settings will be those chosen for The Quest by the 2 highest ranked qualifiers - tie breaks used for this if needed. if the tie breaks don't pick a setting then the setting will be chosen randomly.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=points for mages]3 points for a kill
1 point for a win
+0.5 points for killing your rival colour
The Points will be reset to Zero at the start of the final.
The tie breakers will not be reset and will be used, if needed, as they were at the end of The Quest.
