[OOC] RPGuild Ranking Headquarters!

[Rilla]

Is he joining the ranks? Or already a part of it?

[Skallagrim]

If he's just a guy you don't need a judge, just fight.

[Bartimaeus]

Ohh ok then thanx.

[Imaginary]

@Skallagrim

What are the qualifications for a fight to need a judge?

@Imaginary

If you want a ranked fight that will count towards you gaining points for this threads leader-board, you need a judge. That's all.

[Rilla]

You can have a judge anyway. If you just want the extra security. But usually they aren't needed.

[Rilla]

Rankings updated.

Also:

I was thinking of hosting a 4 way match, with a prize of 150 points, or so. Maybe 200, if everyone wagers 50. The usual 100 will be waived in place of the 200.

The thing is, it could open a door to anyone just announcing random points matches as such.

To get around it, I'm thinking either:

Every participant in them MUST wager enough to be considered equal in the amount of points gained(I.E: 4 x 50 = 200)

or

The matchmaker 'spends' some points to do it, whether or not they are competing.

or

A mix of the two; with the match maker spending points to set it up, as well as making the wager too.

[Skallagrim]

Hmm. A small fatal four-way? Everyone "buys" into the match by offering 50 points in a winner take all?

[Rilla]

Pretty much, yeah.

It's based off a 4 way I've hosted before with some friends some MYB, and took place in a higher ranked one on the same fight.

The arena is 5 black blobs.

Each participant picks one, and customizes it how they like, and every turn or two, it randomly switches to one or another - including the 5th, which is blank.

Anything not 'local' to the blob after creation is moved to the other, or anything that is effected(Say one is made into the Eternal Battleground, and a sword is picked up, then that sword is moved with the participants and such)

[Skallagrim]

It sounds intriguing. I suppose you'd have to hammer out the mechanics in a clear and easily understood way so that everyone is on the same page. Without that the complexity of the blobs could lead to misunderstandings

[LeeRoy]

I'd do it. Sounds like a blast.

[Rilla]

Those are fairly easy to get.

Every 'round', defined as everyone posting once, the 'arena' would be changed by 'a hand of God(or Liaison, or a Dreamer, or someone)'. Time would be stopped(I had an interesting exchange with a time manipulator during it). And restarted, like nothing happened, aside from the changing of the Arena.

The change would be to something random. The players could respond to things in the old 'arena', and then experience the change, and continue from there.

It'll be elimination style, of course.

It'll be noted that nothing in the new arena will be in the way to intercept an attack, to prevent people from 'lolchangetreeintheway', unless it can't be avoided, like someone making an arena where it's all walls and the like.

[Skallagrim]

May I remind you of our early discussion? Nothing should be assumed. But yes I think that would be an interesting match.

[Rilla]

about explanations of numbers?

[Bartimaeus]

If there is still an empty slot, i'd join this

[Rilla]

Not officially open, yet.

And it won't be first come first serve. I'll accept sheets and pick out the best of them...

or I'll randomize the list and pick the top four.

[Skallagrim]

Boss, were you planning to take part in this or be the officiant? If you want to get in the mix, I can do judging duties if you need.

[Rilla]

I haven't officially decided yet.

I'm thinking maybe joining. But I've got three ranked fights at the moment, so I'll probably judge.

[Skallagrim]

Boss, what were you thinking regarding powers and limitations?

[Rilla]

I'm thinking mid-level powers. Nothing too powerful, mainly. case by case basis.
