[center][i]They say there's nothing so telling as a trial of arms. To walk in another dragon's boots is to know their journey; to fight against them is to know their heart. Perhaps this is why you are so nervous. To test yourself against other dragons is one matter, but to do so against your own family is a somewhat different prospect.
As you reach the crest of the hill and see the campsite spread out before you, your heart stutters in your chest. You'd been led to expect a gathering, but you hadn't realized how many of your kin would be here. You can see them moving among the tents and the campfires - your family, related to you by blood even though many of you have never met until now.
You shoulder your pack and begin to descend toward the gathering, your shoulders squared and your head held high. After traveling this far, you had no option but to see this through.

[center][size=4][b]A Brief Intro to PVP[/b][/size][/center]
The PVP system in the Coliseum is one of its lesser-used features, but it can be a lot of fun! This brief overview is intended for players who are less familiar with the PVP system.
[LIST]
[*]When you enter the PVP hub, you're placed in a queue where you will eventually be matched with a player whose team of dragons is around the same level as yours. Wait times can vary widely, from near-instantaneous to longer than ten minutes.
[*]When you enter the PVP arena, you will not be shown the name of your opponent. You will be shown their team of three dragons, as well as the elemental affiliations of those dragons.
[*]Dragons alternate their attacks in a turn-based system, with the same mechanics as a Monster Battle.
[*]The battle ends when one player's dragons have either been knocked out or have been removed from the field. Leaving the field can occur because one player deliberately left the Coliseum, but it can also occur because of internet connectivity issues or bugginess with the Coli.
[*]Victories and losses in PVP don't bring your clan any rewards or penalties, but they do influence your standing on the leaderboard. A fight still counts as a victory or loss even if one participant is forced to leave the fight due to a glitch.

[center][size=4][b]Hub Rules[/b][/size][/center]
[LIST]
[*]The most important rule of the Hub is to be respectful of other players! This isn't the RNG you're competing against, these are real people. Be gracious in victory and defeat at all times.
[*]Any player can participate in this thread and use it to look for PVP opponents, but this hub is primarily intended for use by members of the Night Warrior Project and other affiliated, leveling-based families.
[*]Pinglists for seeking opponents are located in a Google Spreadsheet. This spreadsheet is freely editable, so adding and removing yourself from pinglists is up to your individual discretion. Please only modify your own information in the spreadsheet, unless you are unable to do so for whatever reason. Then you may ask another player to do it for you.
[*]Please do not spam the pinglists! If you use a pinglist to seek out an opponent and nobody appears, repeated pings will inconvenience other players. Also, please only use the appropriate pinglists. If a section of the pinglist is reserved for players who are only available in the evening, pinging them at 8:00 FR time is considered spam.
