DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 05:14, October 11, 2010 (UTC) Well, folks, the rumors are indeed true; the Keyblade War is coming to the Kingdom Hearts Wiki! Just as Naminé's Drawoff was our year-end celebration event last year, it was decided by several staffers that we shall host a large-scale tournament this year. We're very excited to be hosting such an exciting event that gets the entire community involved, especially in such a dark time for all of Wikia. The theme of the event is the Keyblade War, the mysterious battle that took place before even Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep that has left many of us drooling for more details on the war. If you have questions about the upcoming tournament, ask here, and one of the staffers running this glorious event will be quick to answer your query. Also, feel free to leave you comments about the tournament, woo! Here's a quick FAQ guide to The Keyblade War: Q: When does this tournament start? A: The first two brackets shall be released for voting on Friday, October 15. Q: Waaah! My favorite character wasn't included in the tournament!! Why not?? A: We tried to be as even and fair when selecting the 128 characters to be used in this tournament, though we may have missed one or two. The potential brackets should be released in a few days, be sure to suggest any changes to them before October 15, on which day they shall be finalized. Q: Wait, what if the wiki moves away from Wikia? Would we have to stop the tournament? A: It is incredibly unlikely that the tournament will cease. If the wiki does move, the tournament shall move with it and continue there. Q: Where can I find the rules/brackets/flashy logo for The Keyblade War? A: A project page has been made here, which contains the backstory, logo, and brackets (coming soon!). Keep up with this page for all of the tournament updates! Thanks, Kingdom Hearts Wiki, for staying strong as a new year marches in, and as we face our greatest challenge yet: Wikia.

KingdomKeyDarkside - And now I sacrifice my pawn to summon Ultimate Elemental Hero Ultimately Shining Queen's Pawn! TALK - Kneel before the chessmaster! ~ 06:14, October 11, 2010 (UTC) When was this decided, and more importantly, why? We already have the Mirage Arena, and the Joint Struggle is scheduled to take place in a few weeks. What gives?

Auror Andrachome Let's go get em. Goofy! Hell yeah! It's time that Kingdom Hearts Wiki finally had something like this! KKD: Joint Struggle? I don't think that will ever be started.

this might be fun lol 17master "ORLY NAO?" — 09:52, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Galexgan "Strength of Heart will carry you through the hardest of trials." — Galexgan 10:03, October 11, 2010 (UTC) Sounds epic! Just hope all users can participate in the voting unlike the mirage arena's exclusivenss otherwise I'm still a loooooooooooong way from both... :/

KingdomKeyDarkside - Man, this virtual world is starting to feel more and more like Tron. TALK - Only with less motorcycles and more card games. ~ 16:49, October 11, 2010 (UTC) Auror, you're sadly mistaken. The Joint Struggle's going to go on as planned, regardless of this. Now, what I want to know is why this was kept behind the curtain. Something as large-scale as this shouldn't be up to the admins alone. EDIT: 23:56, October 11, 2010 (UTC) Also, who was involved in deciding this?

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? It's a surprise, end-of the year event. Keyword: Surprise. @Galexgan. The Mirage Arena isn't "exclusive". It isn't hard to get 145 edits given all the categories that count. If there wasn't a restriction, people would (and have been) make accounts solely to vote, which we don't want.

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. Er... I don't understand what this is exactly.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 23:45, October 11, 2010 (UTC) Basically, this is going to be a standard, 128-character tournament, reaching out to characters from all the areas of Kingdom Hearts. Each week, two brackets or so shall be released for voting, similar to the Mirage Arena. At the end of that week, each of the participants who received more votes than their opponent advances to the next round, and the losers are eliminated from a tournament. More information can be found on the project page.
