About two years ago, I came up with "Gladiators." It proved to be successful (85 pages), but it got a little out of hand and I got busy with life. I want to relaunch it, so I give you "Gladiators II." For those who are familiar with the old game, here is what's different: 1. No narratives. I'm sorry- I know people liked this, but there are only so many ways to say "stabbed" and "blocked." It got challenging and made each match too taxing on me. 2. This is huge: All official "business" regarding the game MUST BE IN BOLD. This is what made me shut down from the old game. Too much gab and I couldn't tell who was challenging whom and it got out of control. So, any official business (transactions, challenges, wagers- ANYTHING) must be in bold for it to count. Continue to gab and talk trash to other players (with respect to PA rules), but only use bold for official game business. This helps me. 3. Each weapon will now have a special property. If a character has no Weapon Proficiency, there is no special property. In other words, a WP no longer affects attack roll. WP gives a unique bonus to each weapon. 4. Equipment is no longer on “infinite supply.” This will make the game far more frustrating and (therefore) far more interesting. Be vigilant- one never knows when a much desired item will appear in the original supply post! 5. You no longer challenge individual warriors. Instead, you challenge an owner with your warrior and equipment, who either denies your challenge or responds with his chosen warrior and chosen equipment. If he accepts, the battle will commence and there will be no cancellations. For those who are not familiar with the old game, here is how this works: Each participating owner (that’d be you, if you’d like) buys warriors and equipment. You make and accept challenges from other owners. My role (roll?) here is simply the god who throws the dice (ranging from four sided to twenty sided) to determine the outcome. I promise I do not fudge dice rolls (doing so would rob the game of its fun for me). Each warrior has these attributes: A (Attack) – A modifier (+/-) to the 1d20 attack roll D (Defense) – A modifier (+/-) to the 1d20 defense roll C (Constitution) – The amount of damage a warrior can sustain before falling WP (Weapon Proficiency) – A bonus that gives a warrior a unique ability with his weapon; these are cumulative but max out at five points. Value – This is the initial value of a warrior; this disappears after the warrior is bought, since subsequent values are based on the “free market” (between you and the buyer, if you choose to sell him). How do I start? Each potential player begins with 20 gold pieces in seed money. To get started, all you must do is post (in bold) the following: (Warriors purchased) (Equipment purchased) And you’re in. Good luck. Your status (warriors, equipment, gold, and training points) will be recorded on the front page. What Then? Once you have a warrior (or three hundred- no limit on how many you control), you may issue a challenge to another owner. A challenge must be in Bold and have the following information: “I challenge (USERNAME) to a match with (WARRIOR) using (THIS EQUIPMENT) in (ARENA).” All living warriors, their stats, their owners, and available equipment will be available on the front page. The challenged owner should either reply: “I deny your challenge, (USERNAME).” Or “I accept your challenge, (USERNAME). I will send (WARRIOR) using (THIS EQUIPMENT).” Please adhere to this format. Failure to do so will likely result in the match not happening. Also, please only make one challenge to one username at a time. Combat In combat, if an attack roll is higher than the defense roll (considering
modifiers), this is a hit, and the defender incurs damage (according to the
weapon used). Aftermath After each battle, both contestants get a training point (if the loser survived, that is). The training point can be assigned any way as follows: 1. Raise attack by one 2. Raise defense by one 3. Raise constitution by three 4. Raise a weapon proficiency (this is maxed at 5) Wagers I will calculate the odds for each match and post them in the "Pending Matches" post below. For example, if the listing is Warrior X vs. Warrior Y (1:4), a better who wagers 4 gold on Warrior X will get a return of 1 gold if Warrior X wins (plus the original bet of 4 gold). A better who wagers 4 gold on Warrior Y will get a return of 16 gold if Warrior Y wins (plus the original bet of 4 gold). All decimals are rounded. So wait, I can just gamble without actually buying anything or fighting? Yep. Just start by posting (in bold) “I want my money.” This puts
you in the game. This also goes for
those who want to play, but don’t know what (or whom) they would like to
buy. Some of you may want to get in the game to buy weapons just to sell them to needy warriors! Can I sell? You may buy and sell anything by asking anyone (in bold) if you can buy or sell something from or to them. They may (in bold) accept or decline your offer. You are free to sell warriors, sell weapons, barter, make challenges, accept or deny challenges, or challenge a champion. All wagers, transactions, challenges (and an accepting post) must be posted (in bold) by 5PM EST to be included in that night’s round of activity. Champions Champions are warriors who have earned their freedom but stay in the Arena. Each champion possesses his own special item. If your warrior defeats a champion (no easy feat!), then you gain control of that item. And these items are one of a kind. The champions list will be in red and you may challenge a champion at any time. Your challenge is automatically accepted, so beware! Champions will be listed in red and eliminated once they are beaten. Arenas
May fortune be in your favor! ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

I have updated (simplified) the wagers section of the rules (I will be calculating the odds as I used to do). Also, I have added a http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=88125&PID=4564452#4564452" rel="nofollow - "Pending Matches and Odds" post as well as a list for Octavarium participants. Once there are 8 volunteers, let the games begin.  That post will allow people to see at a glance what scheduled events are for the evening and what the odds are.  ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

Thanks! No worries- If you accept, I can conduct the match later on this evening (perhaps around 8 or 9pm). I have to cook and there's one show we're going to watch, and plus I want people the opportunity to see the odds and bet if they wish. Edit: The 5 o clock rule is not a hard and fast thing. It's for my own sanity, really. If I'm free and I've given some people a little time to place wagers, I can conduct matches later in the evening. ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

Excellent. For future reference though (doesn't really apply in your case), make sure to state what warrior and equipment you will be using. I'll have the odds up momentarily!  ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

I was hoping you'd show up. Don't worry about the 5PM thing. As I said to Andy, that's only there for my sake. If I'm available, I'll do fights. I just don't want to be overwhelmed with something that is to be fun (like last time). Also, when you want to buy / sell / trade / challenge/ accept a challenge/ etc., do it in bold. This helps me too. But you're in! ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

Do not despair. There are ways to return: 1. Sell you equipment. 2. Wager your remaining gold on matches. 3. Borrow! Yes borrow. If a transaction is made in bold, someone might say: Holy Moly, I will give you 10 gold for 12 gold in the future. In that case, you have an agreement!
