[PHALLA] NSF56K (Robot Phalla) Day 8 - TOURNAMENT Semifinals (Post 1260)

The RefereeThe Referee Registered User regular
edited September 2007 in Critical Failures
Come one, come all, to the greatest event in Ultimate Robot Fighting Championship history. A Deathmatch to decide the true champion of the league. Six fighters will enter and only one will leave. Where do your loyalties lie?



The Rules:

All standard phalla rules apply.

Every player will begin the game with an amount of money.

Voting will close every night at 11:30PM EST, All special actions and votes must be in at that time.

Every day you will bid on that evening's fights. Based off of normal vote mechanics, you will !bid in red, and you will !retract bid in green. Please follow that format.
Example: I !bid $500 on Ardor
Example: I !retract bid $500 on Ardor

You must bid in multiples of 100.




Every day, you will also vote on a Master of Ceremonies. Based off of normal vote mechanics, you will !vote in yellow and !retract in cyan.
Example: I !vote Zerinan to MC
Example: I !retract Zerinan


Here is an example day for the phalla:
I !bid $1000 that Yellow defeats Red
I !bid $1000 that White defeats Black
I !bid $200 that Green defeats Blue

I !vote MrBlarney to the Master of Ceremonies.


If there are any questions or clarifications needed, please !ask them in orange.



The Mechanics:

This is a team game. There are 6 teams made up of x amount of players and 4 specials on each team.

Specials

Every team has a Fighter, Manager, Promoter and Master Financer.
THE FIGHTER: The fighter is the leader of every team. Every night, they will select one player to kill, and they will also fight a match (or two) against another fighter. The goal of every fighter is to win the tournament and be crowned champion. If a fighter is killed, chaos will ensue within his team. Note: Fighters are harder to kill than your average player.
THE MANAGER: Every night the manager can do a partial seering on another player, this will reveal what team they are on. Every night the manager will also receive a portion of his team's winnings, and use that money to help train his fighter. Remember: A strong fighter wins championships.
THE MASTER FINANCER: Every night, the MF will receive a portion of his team's winnings. With that money, he will improve his fighters abilities to carry out phalla related tasks. These may be seerings, guardians, vigilantes, conversions, thievery, millers etc.

The Fighter, Manager and Master Financer start the game networked.
THE PROMOTER: The promoter does not have any special abilities. They do, however, start the game knowing almost everyone on their team. This is not a secured network, however, as teams have been known to plant traitors within other fighers fanbases.
THE FANBASE: This is the vanilla role of the game. You will start with a random sum of money, and use that money to help your fighter, screw over other fighters, buy hookers, sell drugs. Whatever. You will also be in charge of electing a MC every night.

The Promoter and Fanbases start the game networked.



More Fighter Information:

A fighter has three stats: Strength, Defense and Stamina. Every fighter begins the game with 10 of each.

Fights are done by a dice roll. Both fighters will roll an X sided dice every turn (X = the stat number i.e. 10). If Fighter 1's Strength roll is highter than Fighter 2's Defense roll, that amount of stamina will be retracted from Fighter 2. The fights will continue in this fashion until one fighter has depleted their stamina.

Build your fighter however you see fit.


The Master of Ceremonies:

The MC will be able to choose the types of fights that will take place that night. Obviously, certain fighters would prefer certain types of matches, so the MC can use this to their advantage. The types of fights are:

1v1
3v3
1v1v1
Heavy Metal Fight (strength based)
Cage Match (defense based)
Deathmatch (stamina based)
King of the Hill


The Dead:

Robots never die. Because of this, the dead thread will be important. Dead people will know the details after night 1.


Order of Events:

Daily Bids/Votes -> Robots Upgraded -> Robots Fight -> Specials Activated -> Kills -> Money is distributed -> Next Day


The Villager Role PM:
Come one! Come all! To the greatest tournament the Robot Fighting League has ever hosted! Who will be crowned champion? Which fighter will walk away with the grand prize and which one will end up in the scrap heap?!? Come to the Coliseum and find out!




You are a rabid fan. You start the game with $7500.

    Clarifications:


    Who do I send my daily actions to? What about questions?
    Daily actions will be PMed to The Referee. Questions for the GM can be PMed to robothero.

    Can I make promotional images for my fighter?
    Yes, making promotional posters in photoshop and posting them here is acceptable, enjoyable and reccomended!

    How much money do I start off with?
    You start with the amount of money specified in the villager role PM unless stated otherwise in your specific role PM

    What the hell do we do with the money if we are a villager?
    bet some more! The more money your team wins, the more money your robot gets to help you win. you get a return on your bids if you win them.

    We don't get to vote to kill anyone, right?
    Correct. You bid and vote for an MC.

    Can I bet on both fighters?
    No.

    Clarification:


    So we all have money to some extent, so when we bet and win. What the hell do we do with the money if we are a villager? Do we donate it to our team or do we use it to buy something? I am confused on the money aspect, if you are a normal villager.

    Buy robot floozies, hookerbots, robot cars etc.


    The more money your team makes, the more money your robot gets to improve. The better the robot, the better chances you have on winning.

    I think you just bid every night on however many fights you want, in multiples of 100s. The ROBOT upgrades are listed up top (I think they're permanent?) and the player upgrades are listed on bottom - some are permanent, some are a one time deal. That's the way I'm understanding it...

    All of the upgrades (non robot ones) are bought and handed out by the Master Financer. They can give them to whoever they want, or use them on whoever they want. So If the MF buys a seer, they could give you the ability to seer, or they could seer you.

    Couple more clarifications through PM... for future notice, PM robothero for clarifications, I won't be logging on this account except to update the OP.


    1. If you are a manager and have a question about bidding, PM me. I don't want to reveal mechanics.
    2. Life3 is the cohost, that is why he was attached to all of the role PMs.
    3. Check the clarifications post about how much money you have.

    Now that I think about it, we could have a Gabe and a Tycho robot, then we can see who really wins! Due to the being on PA of course.

    Alternatively, we could have one robot named Robothero and everyone bets against it so it gets its ass kicked every night. I think that would be funny.
